Also from the Land of the Rising Sun, a moving tale of a Korean helping the less fortunate in foreign lands:
Sexologist Kim Myung Gun’s Sex Volunteer Corps has just inducted the fourth annual intake of new recruits since its formation as many years ago, according to Asahi Geino (5/20).
“I accept new applications for recruits about once a year and this year I got 42 applications. We started with a written test, then a face-to-face interview conducted by a panel including me and a number of women. We finally came up with eight new members who passed all the tests,” Kim, who also works as a Wako University lecturer, tells Asahi Geino.
Kim says his experience as a sex guidance counselor has showed him the number of sexually frustrated women in Japan appears to be increasing continuously, which is where the Sex Volunteer Corps comes in - literally.
“Most of the women who come to me for help are married. And an overwhelming number of them married young, gave birth quickly and have never known any man other than their husband. Their husbands tend to regard them only as mothers instead of women and they’ve been sexless for years,” Kim says. “Women like these are sexually frustrated, with some even seeking medical treatment for their condition. What they’re going through, though, isn’t something you can fix up just by prescribing some sort of medicine. What they really need is sex.”
Kim’s Corps, then, becomes the core of the solution for these troubled women.
Well, I guess this beats helping reconstruction efforts in Iraq. By all means, read the rest on your own.

“Grandfather Kw?쨈n”, who was one of my research informants, told the same about Japan in the 1950s when he, according to his own account, was sent to a US base there for military police training. At that time there was still supposed to have been dearth of men because of the war, and did he do his best to fill that vacuum. “I had relations with nine Japanese girls. Japan had ruled over Korea for 36 years, so I did that with a vengeance in my mind, I felt no guilt??? (later) ???I didn’t have to do much, but everything happened naturally, “tell me about Korea” and so on??? I should add that this old gentleman is in no way anti-Japanese, on the contrary. On the other had, according to him the Japanese women are so short because they start having sex so early.
So ugh, where do I sign up?
Halab?쨈ji Kw?쨈n - mansae!!!
