Japan makes 400 billion of the sex industry and they spend 400 billion for national defence mind boggling
 
Interesting.

Can you back those statements up? Just curious.
 
Hmmmmm......I don't dispute that the adult film industry is very lucrative in a lot of ways, but, like Ceewan said, some documentation would make the statement easier to swallow.

Is it 400 billion gross or net profit? :puzzled:

Of course, if any country's adult industry is raking in nearly half a trillion annually, it would have to be Japan. They make the most quality stuff. :perfectplan:

Google it I read an article on the matter a year or so ago
. Unfortunately I do not remember on what site but will attempt to find it again to provide to you
 
I'm guess that's 4oo billion yen, which is around 4 billion USD if that is the case. I guess the porn industry is big in Japan. I mean where else in the world can you get female panties from a vending machine?:pandalaugh:
 
The amount of money Japan spends on national defense is equivalent to approximately 46 billion US dollars (2008) annually - less than 1 percent of their gross domestic product. This figure comes from Wikipedia in the following article :

List of countries by military expenditures. (Japan is 7th on the list.)

As for annual revenues from pornagraphy and/or other sex related industries, I could find no references. I did, however, find this most interesting scientific paper :

Pornography, r*** and Sex Crimes in Japan.
