This book was really good. I enjoyed reading it to the very last word. I actually felt sad when the book finished and wanted it to go further.

Some of the stuff in it seemed unreal, I guess because my experience in Japan after nearly 2 years is a little far from what Stefhen experienced (I wish I had some of those experiences actually). I however see slight similarities with what he experienced and that of my own. Especially with his dilemma with Azusa and Shoko... However, unlike his case, the 2 girls basically ditched me (for 2 different reasons), never to be seen or heard from again (so far). None of them chose to stick around.

Since reading this book however, I have been having endless dreams of moving to the Kobe area. Stefhen's life has been some what of an encouragement to me, as much as we are on different sides of the fence, as I do believe in a creature in the Christian sense.

Great work Stefhen.

If you're a person who wholeheartedly objects to the wholesale sexual exploitation of women, you will really despise the author of this book half-way into it.

If you're a person who believes that women should empower themselves against such exploitation, you will have nothing but contempt for most of the women portrayed in this book.

Whether you fall into either, both or neither of the above categories, you will continue to turn the pages of this book until the last, eager to know what happens to all of these people. The stories will pull you in, in spite of your value judgement. That pull is the power of good storytelling.

The main issue I had with this book had is an editorial one. There were two chapters that I thought were too long where others could have been expanded on more. However, this is an issue that can be ironed out with revision. A good first attempt.

5つ星のうち5.0 A great read and brutally honest
2011年2月18日に日本でレビュー済み
When I first picked it up, I really didnt know what to expect. He writes it as it was with amazing honesty. I almost felt Stephen made absolutely no attempt at being politically correct - it was like a breath of fresh air. Living in Japan myself, I see firsthand some of the behaviors, stories, and females he writes about in his book. His observations on the culture are spot on - its a downward spiral that many people here cannot seem to escape. I HIGHLY recommended this book to anyone who can keep and open mind - you wont be able to put it down.

2010年11月19日に日本でレビュー済み
Don’t let the title of the book fool you! It’s not just a book of sexual escapades. As a resident of Tokyo for nearly a decade I can say from personal experience that his tales are very likely to be true. But it isn’t a book for “Men Only”. What makes this book a must read is the RAW data that he has culled from Japanese governmental agencies and national publications that give behavioral insights into the Japanese people that will have some reeling in HORROR. Read it, and your jaws will drop as the light from ‘The Land of the Rising Sun’ DIMS more than just a little.

5つ星のうち5.0 Into the mind of a sex addict in Japan
2021年2月5日にカナダでレビュー済み
Amazonで購入
If you get offended easily, this book will definitely be a hard read. Even I consider myself very open minded and I will admit that some parts of this book had me cringing. But there is something very valuable about the author: He speaks the truth and is 100% honest. No matter how bad something might sound, he'll write about it. This transparency makes his perspective unique and personal.

Furthermore, there are tons of subjects that he goes deep into like depression, relationships, cultures, socialization, etc. It's not just some memoir of a sex addict. It's a sex addict reflecting on his life, how his upbringing affected him, the mistakes he made in his past, his observations in girls that have been victims of trauma.

He also talks about the differences between Japan and western countries, his childhood in Jamaica. Wether his claims are scientifically accurate or not is up to debate (His bibliography lists web articles, which are not necessarily the full picture of certain issues) and it must be noted that this book is a chronicle of Japan during the 2000s. Now, in 2020s, a lot has changed in the world, so it would be worth noting that Japan from 15 years ago might not be the exact same as it was. Nonetheless, after the insane amount of experiences this man has had with women, his personal observations are definitely worth considering as anecdotal evidence.

Lastly, there is tons of stories about sex. This is what will probably anger a lot of people. He goes into full detail about his experiences and holds nothing back, even his deep thoughts of hatred against some of his partners pushing him to do some really disgusting acts to them, or some borderline creepy moments that would be better not to mention on this review. Yes, some of these are not pleasant to read, but as I've already stated, the fact that the author is so open to telling us about these experiences, even fully knowing that it was wrong at the time and that most people reading will disagree with him, really makes it valuable if you have an open mind and willing to listen to what he has to say.

It was an interesting read and I do recommend it!

Brilliant book, there's nothing else like it! An absoloutely honest view into the author's mind, about philosophy, culture, and casual sex. There were times when I disagreed with things they said and other times when I felt they hit the nail on the head. But one thing we can both agree on is that this is raw truth from perspective on paper, and there's nothing I enjoy reading more. Excellent!

5つ星のうち5.0 Searing analysis of sexuality in Japan
2016年10月29日に英国でレビュー済み
Amazonで購入
This is an autobiographical work of a formerly sex-addicted Jamaican man with an extreme preference for 'yellow' and his time in Japan, where he had sexual relations with dozens of women over a few years. According to the preface, what started off as an erotic memoir felt incomplete as he realised that some background was needed to explain the ease with which he and other black and white men were able to attract Japanese women. Hence the birth of a book described as an erotic ethnographic memoir.

However, reading the sex for titillation misses the point of the book and indeed the sex, though explicit, is more humorous (the author has a lovely way with words) than erotic. The book is stronger as an ethnography and a memoir. It gives a searing criticism of a patriarchal Confucian society, where just below the gloss of a developed high-tech country is a desperately unhappy and emotionally immature medieval society obsessed with duty rather than rights with many of its women (and men to a lesser extent) damaged by a combination of poor parenting as children, overwork, endemic sexism and bullying. And reading about intrafamilial murders almost every day in the Japanese news (I live in Tokyo), the very low rankings Japan gets in international comparisons of gender equality, and the current government's desire to rewrite the constitution to focus on duty to the country, it's extremely difficult to fault his conclusions, although from my experience, these days Japanese fathers are a lot more involved in childraising than he claims.

The book succeeds admirably as a memoir. As well as his time in Japan, we are treated to some of his earlier life in America and a jaw-dropping account of his impoverished childhood in Jamaica - at four, he had thoughts of suicide, he was sexually active from eight, and he was brought up in a church commune surrounded by threats of hellfire. The book does go on a bit, and I found myself getting impatient waiting for him to make the sensible and obvious decision about which of two women he was going to settle down with, but this is an autobiography (and a very honest and self-critical one), not a work of a fiction, so that can be overlooked.

Small flaws aside, this fully deserves five stars for tackling the issue of western men/Japanese women relationships with such perception, self-awareness and humour. I've read many books on Japan from a westerner's perspective and this is up there among the best of them.

Finally, I first heard about the book by bumping into the author himself, eight years after he wrote the book, on a train in Tokyo. He's doing well and is still happily married.

5つ星のうち5.0 Outstanding book - one of the best books I've ever read
2010年4月12日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Outstanding book.

One of the best books I've ever read - and I've read 100's of books and many dozens of NYT bestsellers. I wish it was a NYT bestseller, which it would well deserve, so more people could read it.

It shows the diversity of this life and the world. It was very enlightening. I was shocked to read about the miserable life in capitalistic Japan.

I was very impressed by author's command of language. Very rich. For a dropout and suicide candidate it's unspeakably amazing. I agree with the author's view "forget about splitting the book into three". It's very organic as it is.

What impressed me the most that recently I have read dozens of serious books on various topic from human psychology, evolutionary psychology and man-women relation and pick-up's, and that from the author's anecdotal life evidence he often came to the same conclusions supported by science. (so-called true) life wisdom.

Many men will probably find themselves very similar to the author; I certainly do, with all those hidden obsessions and fantasies.

The author has unhidden talent and he should continue to utilize it. With his ability of insight and rich language he could also consider the genre of a shadow auto-biographer.

Other books I could recommend for readers that would enrich your knowledge:

- Steve Pinker " The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature "
(esp. 2nd part of the book and esp. the last section on "Gender", "Violence", "Children", "Art", "Politics" and "Common Roots of our Suffering"
- Steve Pinker " How the Mind Works " (again - mostly the 2nd part of the book: chapters like about music, humor etc.)

An excellent example of a shadow autobiographer is NYT Neil Strauss, whose recent biographies of Jenna Jameson, Motley Crue and Marilyn Manson I have read:

- " How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale " (Jenna Jameson)
- " The Long Hard Road Out of Hell " (Marylin Manson)
- " The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band [DIRT ]" (Motley Crue)

He then wrote his own non-biography books on community of women pick-up artists:
- " The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists "
- and " Rules of the Game ".

Another good author with similar style is Ben Mezrich, whose following books I've read:
- " The Accidental Billionaires, The Founding of Facebook A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal First Edition, First Printing edition ".
- and " 21: Bringing Down the House - Movie Tie-In: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions (the Inside Story of Six MIT students who took Vegas for millions)"

All the above 9 books were NYT bestsellers.

5つ星のうち4.0 A vicarious Japan experience
2010年11月30日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

In short, I would recommend this book to the following people:

1. Men interested in going to Japan
2. Men who live in Japan now or who have left Japan
3. Men who are attracted to Japanese or Asian women
4. Japanese women who are interested in dating non-Japanese men
5. Japanese women who are interested in knowing what some non-Japanese men think about them and their country
6. Non-Japanese women in Japan who are unable to find people to date
7. People interested in Japanese society, history and politics

I would recommend that the following types of people stay away from this book:

1. People offended by crude language
2. People who do not like discussions sexism, racism, suicide, and violence
3. People who resent non-Japanese men dating and having sex with Japanese women
4. People who are uncomfortable talking about sex, sexuality, infidelity and sexual irresponsibility
5. People with strong moral compasses or strong religious beliefs that make them easily offended by immorality
6. People who judge a literary work by its language mechanics, such as punctuation, spelling and word choice

Mr. Bryan's work provides a compelling foray into the realms of sexual dysfunction, sociological decay, and the pursuit of self-comfort in Japan, the United States, and Jamaica. To be sure, this book includes a lot of graphic depictions of his sexual antics and a few impolitic characterizations of Japanese and Jamaican society. But the rawness and frankness with which he treats these issues makes his observations more powerful. Obviously, this book should be quite popular among men whose attraction to Japanese women led them to Japan, as Mr. Bryan's recollections of his sexual exploits there are quite humorous and graphic. Men of a firmer moral timber should find this an interesting read too because these recollections allow such men to live vicariously through Mr. Bryan in that they too can be sexually irresponsible while maintaining their moral compass and sexual health. Having lived in Japan for four years myself, I found it quite easy to relate to a lot of Mr. Bryan's observations and experiences, particularly when it came to discussing the dysfunctional inflexibility of Japanese society and how its social dynamics may lead to poorly adjusted adults of both sexes.

This work, however, is not without its flaws. To start, some of the chapters are very short--as in one or two pages long. This distracts the reader because it interrupts the flow. Secondly, some of the Jamaican expressions he incorporates into the book have no standard English translations, thus making it difficult for readers to adequately understand what is being said. The Japanese expressions he includes also need to be edited, though this is not an issue for readers who don't understand Japanese. Fortunately, these are all relatively minor mechanical issues that could easily be fixed with the work of an editor.

Perhaps the biggest weakness of the book for me was the abruptness with which he ended it. There is not enough discussion, to me, on how Mr. Bryan's sexual addiction began to weaken. Also, the plurality of the book talks about his love for two women named Shoko and Azusa (both are pseudonyms). However, when he finally makes his decision to marry one of them and leave Japan, very little discussion is given regarding the aftermath. Similarly, there are several other women of consequence whom he talks about in the book, but the reader is often left wondering what happened to them afterwards. Do they still keep in touch? How did they take the news of his marriage and departure from Japan? Did they part on good terms? And what about the women who refused his advances? For readers who like closure, this is a significant issue. For those who are more interested in the exploits themselves, it is not an issue at all.

Despite these weaknesses, the book overall is an interesting, powerful, and unique read. As someone who does not read a lot of books, I found it quite difficult to put this book down. With a bit of editing, some reorganizing of the chapters, and tying up some of the loose ends at the end of the text, I would happily rate this book with 5 stars. But even at 4 stars, this is still a very good book. But to be sure, it is definitely not for everyone.
