Whether or not anime is generally static in regard to the content it permits differs, I believe, between nudity and sexuality. Although I would agree that the general trend in anime is to allow more graphic nudity, I challenge you to provide examples of anime moving to more advanced depictions of sexuality itself. >>27569 There is an upswing in nudity featured in anime (like this), however (like in this instance) the sexuality is static. Anime features men in sexually charged situations with voluptuous, and often overtly horny women, but does not feature intercourse. Anime is obsessed with titillating viewers with sexually charged but innocuous scenarios that bring up sexual themes without ever leading the the act of sex.
A little supposition:
My belief is that this is due anime being marketed to a perceived, juvenile audience. In their lives, most teenagers are sexually inexperienced. Scenarios in which men are thrown into situations with sexual charge speaks to the limited experience of a teenager while giving them a vicarious sexual thrill. Teenagers are less interested in shows exploring the ways sex changes or works in relationships or how it functions in the greater framework of your life (or how it changes that framework) because this touches on experience and issues that they have not had, do not understand, or do not know exist. As a result, intercourse itself is absent from anime.
Unfortunately this leaves adult anime fans like myself bored and frustrated.
