    Unfortunately the belief that "men cannot control themselves" still persists in Japan. Especially among older generations of men. I often hear, when watching Japanese variety shows and even from Japanese male coworkers, about how men cannot be expected to control themselves if they see women with larger breasts or 'sex appeal'. It's frustrating. Thankfully, the younger generation seems to have a better handle on it.

      @@thebillionthuser Because "love" isn't what western people raised on Disney movies and rom coms have made it out to be, that version of love is an unhealthy delusion that psychologically and emotionally trap people in unhealthy relationships. Anyone that has been in love more than once should know it's not some magical once in a lifetime one unique soulmate kind of thing like we're taught here, but even by the second third and forth time many of us still manage to delude ourselves by telling ourselves "but those times weren't real love like this one is, since they didn't last for ever it must have been fake love, this time it's totally real though even though I can't tell the difference". It's incredible how deluded we are in this regard. Modern monogamy isn't about love at all, it's about loyalty. And loyalty is more like a contractual obligation rooted in the concept of honor, a concept many of us westerners consider obsolete even though it's one of the most fundamental pillars of civilization.

      Yeah ... but their diet was horrible. They weren't allowed to eat most meat so they often had vitamin deficiencies. Plus this was before Japan figured out bathing was wonderful. So it stank.

      @@mariavi33 It depends if the husband will raise the child as his or make the world known of his wife's affair. The wife or the male lover can be shamed especially if the lover was of a lower status. Some women cannot bear the sin of being impregnated through an extramarital affair and would renounce the world and become nuns.
      The Tale of Genji details this kind of events. An example is with Genji impregnating one of the emperor's consorts. The emperor did not acknowledge the affair (the child became an heir to the throne) and the consort renounced the world by becoming a nun. 2nd was when Genji's 3rd and youngest wife was raped by an ardent suitor, he got angry with the man but raised the child as his own and kept his wife's tragic assault a secret. The wife, however, suffered psychologically and became a nun. Genji didn't let the man rest until he died of shame and regret.

  • @wargriffin5
    @wargriffin5 5 лет назад +13

    Crazy question since you want to keep bringing up the Fujiwara clan. They're starting to sound a lot like the Hapsburgs who married their children into all the royal families of Europe. They were also insanely inbred. Am I right to assume that, after marrying their daughters into only one royal family for 200 years, the Fujiwara clan had the same problem?

  • @Hakuismyman715
    @Hakuismyman715 5 лет назад +24

    Honestly, since marriage wasn't out of love and commitment between two people back then I wouldn't even consider it cheating. They were marrying out of business relations and whatnot and not because they were devoted to one another so the fact that they would seek out that love, affection or care from someone else seems normal to me. It wasn't necessarily expected to be loyal to that one person emotionally, mentally or physically so I feel like calling it cheating isn't very correct. I would see them as having poly-amorous relationships more because there wasn't a huge expectation of monogamy. It's different now because a majority of people marry out of devotion and love to one another so that's when going outside for sex, love, affection, etc isn't accepted because it means that you are going behind on your word to stay devoted to that one person and receive those things from that one person only (if that's what they both decided on). I like how the women were also allowed to do so to a certain extent, although they were given less sexual freedom than men in ways, at least they were still allowed to do? I know in a lot of poly religions/culture even to this day it's only the men that are allowed to and it seems really unfair for the women imo lol.

    • @Linfamy
      @Linfamy  5 лет назад +11

      Yes it was definitely more like polyamorous relationships. Although there was that weird quirk where men were like, "but don't let me catch you with someone else!"
      Super unfair since the men were going around humping everything.

    • @Hakuismyman715
      @Hakuismyman715 5 лет назад +3

      @@Linfamy Unfortunately I think that weird quirk is extremely common among men all around the world. Even in countries/cultures/religions that are far more sexually open and free for both sexes, there's those few that still don't want their wife/girlfriend to be with another man when they are with other women and it really comes down to the inferiority of women. Even during times when women were considered to be more valuable than men (in terms of being able to marry upwards in social hierarchies in certain periods in Japanese history, I can't remember which specific ones XD) there's still that ownership and inferiority that underlies it all because it's so deeply ingrained. Besides the issue with men forcing themselves on women and women being blamed for it, I give Japan props for allowing women to be more sexually expressive during those times and not being super restrictive like in the western world!

    Hi Linfamy! You didn't mention the average Japanese person too much, besides servants.

    As a Theravada Buddhist (dnt knw much about the Mahayana Buddhism practiced in Japan) is tolerant of sexual conduct within marriage. Sexual conduct outside of marriage is a sin. But within marriage or outside of marriage attachment is considered as a roadblock towards Nirvana (which ,to put in the simplest possible terms, is not having any attachments to anything whatsoever)...so having sex as a just another parr of life and living with the understanding tht sexual pleasure is also as temporary as any other pleasure is ok for laymen.
