I love this country, but they have just as many perverts here as we do in the USA. I don't know if you can actually buy used panties out of a vending machine, but you can buy darn near anything else out of a machine here in Japan (whiskey, dried fish, panty hose, batteries...) I'll tell you this, though, just because something is illegal in Japan doesn't mean it isn't done. I get propositioned by prostitutes all the time here but I can quote you the law that forbids it. Yesterday (12/1/07) in Tokyo's Akihabara district (schoolgirl-fettish capitol of the world) I saw a store selling panties in ziplock bags, each with a photo of a teenage girl tucked inside the package. The implication is that the girl pictured had worn the panties, but I didn't sniff them to find out. Also, I don't read Japanese, so I can't tell you if the packages said outright that they were used. So go ahead and quote all the Japanese laws you want, but remember that many laws are not enforced for various reasons.
