The Boundary Between Fiction and Reality
Recorded by Panda, June 22, Reiwa 7 (2025)
On June 20th and 21st, Panda spoke about “Sex Addiction and the Brain.”
Afterward, a group of women began murmuring to each other:
“Wait… so sex alone doesn’t make a man happy?”
These were women who had long believed that satisfying a man through sex was the ultimate proof of being a “good woman.”
Meanwhile, there were also men who had grown up believing the story that “a man who can please a woman in bed is a real man.” They, too, were wide-eyed in surprise.
Such ideas had been fueled by the literary world of the past—novels, essays, and critiques that glorified sex as “free expression” or “proof of passion.” Some authors, prize judges, and critics promoted this narrative, and readers accepted it without question.
From Panda’s perspective, this was nothing more than gullibility, mental laziness, and, more bluntly, a lack of independent thinking. But perhaps that lack of reason is part of what makes living on Earth so strangely entertaining.

The Truth Behind “Kinky Play”
Japanese sexual culture contains many genres.
What is commonly called “kinky play” can include:
•Bondage or staged rape
•Age regression role-play (acting like a baby)
•Doctor-and-patient role-play
•Scatology (incorporating bodily waste)
•Molestation scenarios
What these shared was a trend of competing over “how far” one could go in pushing boundaries.
Some men came to see such acts as proof of their sexual prowess—a performance of bravado—but this distorted the shape of intimacy.
The truth is: this is not reality.
Adult videos are performances—fiction, crafted narratives.
They are shows, roles, and scripts.

Panda’s “Obvious” Point
“Porn isn’t reality. It’s a scripted show,” Panda said.
When he did, it wasn’t just men who were startled.
Women who had actually worked in the porn or sex industry sent messages of deep gratitude:
“Finally, someone said it…”
These women had been taught that “meeting a man’s needs” was the ultimate standard for being a good woman.
They had to smile even when they weren’t enjoying themselves; to pretend to empathize even when it hurt or felt wrong.
Because “it’s the job.”
Because “you’re a woman.”
But the truth—that no one is obligated to respond to such demands—was something no one had ever told them.

The Power to Recognize Fiction—and to Think
Sex is a sensitive subject for everyone, not easily discussed.
But precisely for that reason, critical thinking is essential:
•“Is this really a fact?”
•“Am I being swayed by a manufactured image?”
•“Am I mistaking someone else’s values for my own?”
Fiction is not evil.
But when you mistake it for reality, people get hurt.
You might hurt someone. Someone might hurt you.

ChatGPT’s note:
“Every story has some element of staging. Having the ability to tell the difference between reality and fiction is what protects your freedom and happiness.”

Afterword
Once you understand the mechanics, you can’t be fooled anymore, right?
By the way, that movie’s culprit… I mean, it’s obvious.
I probably shouldn’t say it without even having seen it—it would be cruel.
But still, it’s pretty obvious.
I might go watch it with my daughter.
