Paper Summary:

The paper discusses how social institutions such as gender segregation in schools during adolescence, cultural constructs such as consumerism, commercialization, and the silencing of sexuality in Japanese society, and individual motivations such as a desire for self-determination and sovereignty over their bodies all serve to cause teenage girls to enter into the sex trade in Japan.
