Megumi wrote a lot of it, while I polished and edited her work; and when she was tired of that she talked, and I did the writing. There were many interruptions. I don't know which of us was more aroused: Megumi through remembering, or I through listening to her. Let's just say it was a very active and mutually pleasurable collaboration. We hope our readers will enjoy the result. Some people - not Japanese or foreigners living in Japan, they know better - have asked whether the tale we have to tell is literally true. Well, I must admit we have changed names, including that of Megumi's studio. But let me promise you that Japan is full of girls like Megumi, eagerly exploring their sexuality and always ready for new experiences. The Japanese pornography industry is second in size only to that of the United States; and one only needs to compare the two countries' products to see at once that Japanese models and actresses are enthusiastic, sincere, genuine and thoroughly enjoying themselves. Many young girls are delighted, and in no way ashamed, to earn pocket-money from their developing sexual attractiveness, and if you visit the area round Shibuya Station in Tokyo at the right time of day you will certainly see, as Megumi describes them, the talent-scouts on the look-out for new recruits and checking out home-going schoolgirls. Again, it is certainly true that companies like Marucho are flooded with applications from girls longing to be porn actresses, many of them well-educated girls from good families. The companies are delighted to employ them: there is plenty of room in the market for videos and photos showing the elegant nudity of young _ojo-san_ or "princess" girls, or the plump cuddliness of the _kawaii_ or young sweetheart type. The industry caters for all erotic tastes, even if the main demand is and always will be for the mass of material depicting cheerful and experienced girls who love fucking on camera and whom we all enjoy watching so much. We say that once a girl has discovered the pleasures of displaying herself nude and being fucked before a camera or a live audience she becomes addicted to them. This is based on close observation (not to mention Megumi's own personal experience). Many girls who leave the industry, for example on marriage, cannot keep away from it and soon return. They may have lost their footing in the studios, but there is another part of the Japanese sex industry - the discreet sex-clubs, nude hostess bars and "escort" services - which offers plenty of opportunities for young, bored housewives neglected by hard-working husbands. There are many tales, "urban myths" I suppose one should call them, about young wives working in such establishments serving their own husbands - who fail to recognise them. Traditionally Japanese girls have been taught, as soon as they are old enough to understand, that the purpose of their sexuality is to give pleasure both to themselves and to men. The distinction between sex as pleasure on the one hand, and sex after marriage on the other as a means of continuing a family line through bearing children, has been clearly maintained. Today mothers and aunts are less uninhibited about this than they once were. Much more influential however are the young people's magazines, intended for girls as well as boys, which feed growing imaginations and promote the endless stream of young Adult Video (AV) "idols" as role models. There are even magazines devoted only to strippers, with glamorous shots of the stars posing nude or in minute costumes before their adoring audiences. Many beginners have been inspired by these demonstrations of the command a nude girl can exert over a room full of men - a theme we explore in this book. All this guarantees that Japanese girls and young women will continue to be enthusiastic participants in pornography and public sex. The only thing that makes Megumi different from many other Japanese girls is that she has concentrated so single-mindedly on turning her sexual fantasies into reality. In this she shows the admired Japanese virtue of devotion to her vocation and constant determination to improve. As a true professional she is dedicated to making people happy, and her wish is that through our book she will make you happy too. She is still under twenty. She has done so much already to develop the beauty of her sexuality. We end this book with a description of one of our sessions together. But that is not the end of Megumi, or of our relationship - as we hope one day to show. - Bob Williams Tokyo, 1998 Note to ASSTR edition The main action of this novel is set in 1992/93, around the time of Megumi's 18th birthday. So if you find the technology described a little old-fashioned - videotape rather than DVD, 35mm photography rather than digital - that is why. - BW [Next in Part 01: Chapter I: Introduction to Megumi] For complete series so far see /files/Authors/Bob_Williams
