Tokyo bans sex shops from selling girls' soiled panties

By Krist Boo

WHENEVER Mari, 17, needs extra money for her hair and make-up, she
reaches under her skirt.

Sex shops lining the back streets of Shibuya pay a pretty penny for her
soiled panties.

The chain-smoker sits on the steps of Shibuya's hip 109 mall and says
her friends do it too.

In this city known for its sexual fetishes for high school girls, the
sordid trade she is talking about has been flourishing for more than a
decade.

Now, the city has outlawed the panty trade.

The Tokyo metropolitan government last month ruled that shops caught
peddling dirty lingerie can be fined up to 500,000 yen (S$7,900). Those
who buy the lingerie also face fines of up to 300,000 yen.

The city's section chief for youth affairs, Mr Tatsuo Mizuno, said: 'We
can't punish kids for selling them because they are underage. But we can
punish the adults who buy them, and the ones who sell them.'

The move is one of several legislations aimed at keeping the vice
industry from exploiting young Japanese.

Its target includes girls as young as nine who blithely drop into the
shops on their way home from school to trade their dirty bloomers for an
extra buck.

They get paid more if they attach their photos to them - or leave their
stained sanitary pads inside.

The pungent undies, wrapped in clear plastic bags, fetch from 1,500 yen
to as much as 10,000 yen. For more, customers can watch the girl strip
off her panty, in silhouette.....

How are you going to make extra money now? LOL

I LOve IT!

Apparently you can even buy them from vending machines, located in public places as well!

Take the young girls out of the equation, 'cause that's just perverse...

It's now illegal for a young woman to sell her property to a bidder,
in order for him to re-sell it to a requesting customer?
Sounds like good business to me...

that is fucking wacky.

Soiled panties!

"They get paid more if they attach their photos to them - or leave their
stained sanitary pads inside."



I wonder how much the girls get though, because that's not such a good deal if you have to keep buying new panties for yourself after you sell the used ones.

All you'd have to do is go to Wal-Mart and buy those panty-packs with 6 pairs for $3.99, and you're in business

Oh, I could never shop at Wal-mart.

Co-

I wonder what they're soiled with

I have heard of ordering stinky underwear through the mail. I've seen ads for it in gay rags advertising really hot studs in jockstraps. And you just know the reality is that a 500 pound dirty disgusting man is stinkin up those straps

"pungent undies"

you big meanie!

This is a joke, right?

When I was in Nara, I went to an arcade and some of the prizes in one of the games were soiled panties. This is not a joke - it's a common practice in Japan.
