One of my greatest turn-ons is sexual variance, especially when it's commercialized into a menu of different sexual services and locations. I had the biggest sexual-taxonomy boner flipping through this fabulous book. Lots of close-ups of brothel "menus" featuring anything from eyeglasses to "infinity shape" "breast service." It even has a (spoiler alert!) glossary. Excuse me, I need some time alone. (  )damsorrow | Jun 11, 2009 |   Fascinating photo book that does what it says on the tin. Sinclair spent over a year trying to get access to the clubs and permission to take pics, which was hard enough being both a gaijin and a woman. That’s also why there aren’t all that many clubs covered, but she manages to capture the sheer variety of the types of clubs you can find, what’s allowed and what’s not. Typical for Japan, the sex club industry is as playful as it is imaginative. Very cool. (  )defrog | Jun 25, 2007 | 0.075 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0810992590, Paperback)In Pink Box, photographer Joan Sinclair takes us on a journey inside the secret world of fuzoku (commercial sex) in Japan, a world where kawaii (cute) collides with consumerism and sex.Unrivaled in their creativity and the sheer number of choices, the clubs featured in this book offer their clientele every fantasy imaginable. Subway groping, visits to the nurse’s office, and comic book character encounters are just the beginning of the immense list of possibilities that are played out in colorful playrooms for adults where no detail is overlooked. Sinclair’s photographs capture it all, while an introduction by sociologist James Farrer provides a brief history of commercial sex in Japan and places the images in the context of contemporary Japanese culture.
