In this episode we discuss Nanshoku or "Male Color" as it is translated from Japanese. Nanshoku was the word for same-sex sex in Japan between 1500-1860s and was heavily centered in Japan's urban centers. Together we will explore a society and culture where unfettered homosexuality was not only widely tolerated but also widely practiced.
