Eventhough it is clear why it is censored it is a great mystery to me why there is so much censored Japanese content on SLR. Apparently lots of people like to watch censored Japanese 'porn' :s
Uncensored JAV / Japanese VR
All the Japanese production needs to be censored.
There might be some companies operating out of Japan, but it's a rare exceptiong.

Not to sidetrack this thread but since it's relevant: is SLR JAV still in the works? Know it was going to take until at least later 2021 I believe to get things moving, but don't remember hearing about it in a little while.
Rakly3 as mentioned I understand the situation, however, I do not understand why SLR decided to put so much censored stuff on their website. Apparantly there is a huge fanbase or something for censored porn otherwise it doesn't make sense to me. Was just curious as I was suprised by the huge amount of censored porn, which is to me always a bummer.
hhigh88 I guess it depends on how one looks at it. I see myself as a fan of JAV porn, which happens to be censored rather than a fan of censored porn that happens to be Japanese. With censorship aside (and even included), there are many reasons to enjoy JAV porn just as much as "regular," uncensored porn.
Currently 51% of my favorited-to-watch later videos are all JAV, and a main reason that I subscribe to SLR is for JAV-VR content which is double the value imo. As you've suggested, there is good demand ... might be a bummer to some , but it's a boner to others in their own way
This is actually boggling my mind. Here in the US we have the luxury of watching uncensored porn and think nothing of it. I'm trying to imagine being born in Japan growing up to porn that has always been censored. Unless I'm mistaken, they don't even know what uncensored porn looks like!
I was attracted to JAV because it was a different culture and a unique kind of erotica. The sexlikereal.com site has everything that .jp site has I assume (and am glad), but the .jp doesn't have everything the .com site has. I wonder what repercussions there would be if we auto-censored our porn (as I believe SLR is learning with JP Originals) ... and include that on the .jp site? Would the Japanese market be as interested in our content as we are theirs?
I feel the interest may naturally be there just because it's something new and different, like JAV was for me, but in the long run it may not be a good idea and could corrupt their market and culture. That is ... I would think us being exposed to their milder porn would have less of an effect than them being exposed to our porn on steroids. It could even prompt a harsh legal response to ban non-jav porn if it's not already, like can they even access pornhub for uncensored porn or is it just specific to Japanese produced porn?
Who knows ... Any other thoughts?
abcrebel 'Western' porn in Japan is completely dependent on the model. Ie we censor and publish our SLR Originals with Melody Marks on .jp

That's why I stopped watching Japanese, I don't understand why we need censorship even in porn, it's idiocy. I switched more to hidden-camera video, so I could see everything in detail there. By the way, I found an adult tube site where there are a lot of them and there I try to choose by genre. For me it is very strange that now you can only watch certain porn, something is closed, and so on. But at least there is variety here and I've even found some Japanese girls, who apparently live in another country and can show their genitals.

abcrebel I lived in Japan for four years and still have many Japanese friends, and what's interesting is that they actually are the world's #1 producer and consumer of pornography. There's a funny thing in Japan, that's it's not the law that's important, it's more like the spirit of the law, and enforcing order.
Japan knows that their censorship laws are outdated, and very few people actually care about the topic. But change is a top-down thing in Japan, not bottom-up like we usually see in the west.
We also can't look at Japan in a vacuum. As far as East-Asian cultures go, it's actually pretty permissive and progressive. The same censorship laws apply in Korea (with even more restrictions, to be honest), and some other countries don't have professional industries to speak of.
This is my favorite JAV site, https://javhub.com, simply because they provide high-quality uncensored content. I'm curious about their methods for consistently delivering such content. If I understood it correctly, their website states that they are based in Canada, suggesting that the content is shot outside of Japan. Why can't we expect uncensored JAV with an SLRO touch?
In other words, why not book their models for some uncensored content either in the US or Canada, if they can achieve it, would you also be capable of doing the same?
