Sex in Japan, a high-profit industry

Japan offers an assortment of sexual pleasures to cope with a high demand that in other countries would simply be impossible or even unthinkable to commercialize. An official report reveals that the annual income for the sex industry in Japan exceeds 2,370 billion JPY; that figure does not include the 3,000 billion JPY generated by the estimated 37,000 love hotels that operate in Japan (premises designed for sexual encounters) nor does it include the revenue collected from virtual sex; which includes erotic movies, porn magazines, online dating services etc. which are hard to estimate, but that part of the industry surely generates the same or an even higher revenue from the abovementioned.
