Silly/Odd News Stories from around the World

The gropers formed a Brotherhood!? That sounds more weird than creepy. Either way, it's so nice to know that some perverts are organized and honest enough to form an organization about feeling women up.

[Circular Logic]

Hahahahahahahahaha... Wow...that's interesting... If I were a woman, I'd keep away from trains

[SirHellsing420]

"The Groper’s Brotherhood"?.... "Image clubs"?...

Dude that is so wrong on so many levels... O__o;;

I was aware of the groping problem in japan, but I didn't expect it to get worse. So now that there are women only cars, and no groping signs in the subways, the gropers have banded together to discuss tactics? heh heh The only way this could be any better is if that buddhist priest happens to be named Miroku.

One question though, if htere was actually shame associated with groping women in subways, why has it become so prevelent? One would think the shame factor would keep it from getting completely out of hand.

Maybe it's the excitement they get from the risk of getting caught. A lot of people do illegal stuff, such as shoplifting, because of this. But I can't believe they actually see groping like a competitive sport...

the info was taken from the net

I knew about some pervs coping feels on crowded trains, but never knew they had orginized and even had clubs catering to the fetish in such an extreme way.

While not exactly silly, it is still germane to the current subject.

Exactly. It's one of the malaises that happens everyday in commuting, but no one gives a shit because people have other issues to worry about. But when a girl is brave enough to scream "chikan!" people will jump at the perpetrator.

But then again, our laws tend to be so weird that the fine for groping is only 50,000 yen (approx. USD$500), so men who do get caught just pays the damn fine and get let off.

This is a country who laws are full of political bullshit and red-tape in which a rapist who destroyed a child's future gets a sentence of only three years, probably let off in two for "good behavior," whereas another rapist with the same crime gets handed down the death sentence with no chance of parole.

japan is just a messed up place it seems parents have "pleasure" their children to get their minds back to studying, all the school girls seem like prostitutes and every guy over there is a pervert.

The worlds jus plain messed up anyway .. lol

Hehe. Well the Japanese do seem to have a higher libido then the rest of the world. I wonder if any other countries have 2000 groping incident a year in their subway.

It's cause nobody recognizes the problem, it's the gropees who never scream when they're groped. The gropers understand this submissive mentality of their gropees, so they willingly take advantage of it.

I used to be a groper back in my school days. We used to play this game called "Nervous" it basically entailed of a girl and a boy taking turns to feel each other up until one screams "NERVOUS!" Then the shenanigans would stop and we'd have a right good laugh. Of course, I hardly ever said the word and once or twice, I almost ended up getting a fully-fledged handjob during lesson.

According to some statistics I read a few years ago (that I wouldn't take seriously; I don't remember exactly where I read them, but I think it was probably a tabloid... I don't read tabloids in general, but this was for a school project), Japan was at the bottom of the list for "how often married couples have sex in a year" while America was at the top. The number they gave Japan was something around low- to mid-200's. I don't remember what America received, though, but it was under 400. Keep in mind that there are 365 days in the year

If there's any truth in those statistics, it'd make for a very interesting social analysis project. Contrast the sexually repressive America (Puritan values) with a nation like Japan, and find out why it is that they have more fetishes and less sex. (Or maybe some of the fetishes are so warped that it gets in the way of sex? Who knows.)

I read a similar list with Japan at the bottom. Not really sure where, but I think the Greeks were at the top of the list.

According to the Durex Survey (2001):

• Americans appear to have the most sex at 132 times a year, with the Russians close behind at 122 times a year, the French at 121, and the Greeks at 115.
• The countries with the lowest frequency of sex are Japan (37 times per), Malaysia (62) and China (69).
• Couples living together report having sex 146 times per year.
• Married couples make love 98 times per year.

According to the 2003 Durex Sruvey:

• Eastern Europeans (Hungarians, Bulgarians, and Russians) are the most sexually active (150).
• Americans were low on the frequency list in 2003 at 118 times per year.
• The three countries with the lowest sexual frequency were Sweden (102), Maylasia (100), and Singapore (96).

It should also be noted that 48% of women admitted to faking an orgasm. (Sorry guys. Work on your control.)
