In the 12th annual event of its kind, nine Japanese porn actresses rolled up their T-shirts in Tokyo last weekend and let their fans cop a feel for a minimum donation to fight Aids, raising tens of thousabds of US dollars in a 24-hour televised squeeze-a-thon.

Now _that’s_ what I call a “feel good” story. 😉 ---

Oh, and the minimum donation of 1000 yen equals about 10 bucks American. ---

Probably the “least strange” sexual thing to happen on a Tokyo street that day. And who knew Japan had porn actresses? I thought they were all schoolgirls! ---

Serious question- Just what goes through your mind while strangers who have ponied up the dough fondle your breasts? What Buddhist prayer do you recite on such an occasion? Is $10 a lot of money in Japan? How many days or hours of pay are we talking for the average person? ---

> [@DocCathode](#): > > Is $10 a lot of money in Japan? How many days or hours of pay are we talking for the average person? The cost of living in Japan is similar to that in the U.S., with the cost of housing being rather higher on a per-square-metre basis. (And as a result the average Japanese person lives in smaller apartment than the average American.) So 1,000 yen is very similar to $10 as an expense. ---

So is that $10 per boob, or $10 for all boobs? And is that good for the full 24 hours? Not that it matters to me. Just curious. Really. ---

And am I the only one that thought of Aids as in breast implants, rather than AIDS? The thread title makes sense either way. ---

(And as a result the average Japanese person lives in smaller apartment than the average American.) So 1,000 yen is very similar to $10 as an expense. I’ve found Tokyo to be a little cheaper than New York City but still expensive, up there with some of the larger US cities. $10 is a pretty small amount there. ---

Surely we Americans can do them one better? I propose we gather up a bunch of U.S. male porn stars and stage a benefit to Beat Off Testicular Cancer, at maybe a buck a wank. ---

“Having sprayed their hands with disinfectant, many were seen fondling the breasts quite discreetly.” Can’t get much sexier than that. ---

Think of it this way: $10 is a bit more than the hourly minimum wage. Now just think of how many strangers you could let fondle you in an hour. It adds up pretty quickly. ---
