Arts Today the Stranger Suggests

(Theater) Vancouver couple Maiko Bae Yamamoto and James Long are theatrical adventurers—their last production was a series of one-person plays for one-person audiences. Sexual Practices—three interlinked vignettes about life in Japan—promises simulated sex, a workplace romance, a schoolgirl beating the crap out of a businessman with a baseball bat, and one woman’s fetish for Ichiro Suzuki.

(Film) We must say it again: This movie is excellent. And this is your last chance to see it before the Oscars on February 25. Seattle director James Longley’s triptych of Sunni, Shiite, and Kurdish life won him a 2006 Stranger Genius Award and now is competing for a Best Documentary Oscar with An Inconvenient Truth, Jesus Camp, Deliver Us from Evil, and My Country, My Country.

According to recent research, Japanese have much less sex than almost any other nation. Probably due to the reliance on condoms only.
Just how, I wonder how one would get any Japanese male or female to openly and accurately discuss their sex life in statistical detail??
Cultural norms and mores stack the deck against even conversing on the topic.
