Question, in many south east asian, and east asian countries, why is it that prostitution is very prevalent in places, where, laws are otherwise extremely strict? for example, you get caught with a couple of grams of marijuana in japan, and as a foreigner you're as good as gone from the country. Cultural differences isn't what I'm looking for, perhaps a more fleshed out answer than that
. Is it the prostitution that is looked upon more leniently, or the drugs and other things that are looked upon more harshly? and any idea why?
