Description

This paper examines the phenomenon of Enjo-Kosai which became a popular catchword in Japan in the late 90s and early part of the 21st century. Enjo-Kosai has been translated into English as `compensated dating' and `schoolgirl prostitution.' Firstly, the question of what exactly enjo-kosai is will be answered. Then moral and social issues behind the phenomenon will be discussed. The role of women and pornography in Japanese society will then be analysed before looking at the role played by the mass media and innovations in technology.
