- English abstract
- This article/chapter is in a volume edited by the National Institute of Japanese Literature. The chapter focuses on the representation of male-male sex in shunga erotic books and prints. Research on male-male sex (nanshoku) in the 17th-19th centuries presents it as an accepted practice of an older man with a youth or young man. In shunga, rape is relatively uncommon in male-female sex but is proportionally frequent in male-male sex. This chapter concludes that although in general nanshoku is considered to be acceptable for consenting partners, shunga is critical of the forcing of sex on unwilling youths.
