What the hell are you guys talking about!  Homosexuality does not exist in Nippon!!  

Why are you saying this? There is certainly a large and very open scene in Tokyo, as I know, and presumably in other cities.

Kidding man, I lived there for a few years!  OSAKA!!

KeeNok is mocking the common assertion by Japanese that there is no homosexuality in Japan. ...I would love to know how their claim would position itself against the various queerings of Japanese life: the tentacle sex fetish, the bottom pinching, and so on. I would want to know what are they trying to deny.

Tentacle sex?  Homosexuality?  huh? hmmmmmmm....

I don't think Japanese guys need to go to quite such bender-gending extremes to demonstrate that they do have a queer side...

But publicly, sex is not discussed in Japan- much like the Thais, 'no sex please, we're Japanese'.  Privately, things are quite different.
