"Love, Sex, and Democracy in Japan during the American Occupati"on
is the first book in English to examine the radical changes that
took place in Japanese ideas about sex, romance and male-female
relations in the wake of Japan's defeat and occupation by Allied
forces at the end of the Second World War. It is based on extensive
archival research into popular magazines and newspapers as well as
a range of sexological publications including sex guides, reports
and manuals published during the Occupation and immediately after.
Although the main focus of the book is on heterosexual discourse
and practice, the postwar period also saw the rapid development of
a range of sexual minority subcultures: both male and female
homosexuality are discussed as are a range of heterosexual
"perversions," including both male and female cross-dressing and
sado-masochism, that were sources of fascination in the early
postwar years. The book examines all these in relation to ideas of
democracy brought and embodied by the Occupation, adding an
important dimension to studies of Japan's sexual customs during the
Occupation period.
