In today's society, it is difficult to clearly say that even women like sex. Even women have sexual desires, so why shouldn't they want them themselves?
Less than a week after the Netflix original drama The Naked Director was released, it immediately caused a stir. The story is set in the 1980s, when Muranishi and Oru, who were salesmen of English teaching materials, became the tycoon of the AV industry.
However, I'm more concerned about the way Muranishi and Oru fight in business, their creative and excellent bed techniques, and how this drama based on a true story will be portrayed, as well as the AV actress Kaori Kuroki, who is dignified and calm from the start.
Long hair, swaying earrings, bright red lips, and a meaningful smile. Each of her words and deeds, which graduated from a national university, shows the goodness of her upbringing. How can a woman living in an oppressive era show her armpit hair or express that she likes to have sex with her sexual desires? Have you ever struggled between fearing or accepting sex?

If there is no sex education at home, you have no choice but to teach yourself what pleasure is
Kaori Kuroki (real name: Emi Sahara) has been raised strictly by her mother since she was a child. - Her innocent mother gives her anything material, but she is absolutely forbidden to be interested in sex. Kaori Kuroki studied Western painting and drew a naked man, but the painting was torn up by her mother. Her mother probably wants her to be a pure angel all the time, but she feels that her body is growing. The breasts are getting bigger, the bottom is getting weter, and the interest in the human body is growing.
I felt something stirring inside her, but I still don't know what it is.
As a single girl, even if you live in Taiwan in 2019, you will superimpose yourself on her when you see Kaori Kuroki's growing experience. An adolescent girl wants to ask about condoms but is scolded, or she wants to stay with her lover but her family is angry with her.
Sex education in many homes is still as the story of the Taiwanese novel "The Paradise of First Love." "The house teaches everything, but it's not just sex education."
The mother looked at the hero in surprise and replied, "Sex education? That's what education is all about, isn't it?"
Adults think we don't need sex, so we have no choice but to sneak ourselves away. I masturbate in the bathroom so that my mother doesn't notice, delete my browsing history after watching erotic video sites, and explore my body with my friends who are also adolescents. In fact, at that time, we didn't want a boyfriend or something specific like a romantic relationship, or we really wanted to have sex, we were just trying to get to know our bodies.
Many people think that the pattern of "body relationship before love" exists only in men, but in fact, it is the same for women. The secret voice from inside the body communicates to us. I can't say it's love yet, but the sexual signals are there.

I want to live my free and dirty self. What should I do?
Kaori Kuroki's life changed a lot after she received Muranishi Toru's business card. A girl who is about to enter puberty and a man who wants to change the world with erotica. Her new name, Kaori Kuroki, is the name of a Bible teacher in middle school who makes fun of traditional sexual notions.
"I don't want a serious young lady like you to be here," "I want you to appear in an adult video."
"I wanted to study in Italy, to raise money, and I wanted to be my true self. I'm free, uninhibited, and maybe dirty. I want to live as I am. What should I do?"
As a woman, we've all had the experience of wondering whether to fear or accept sex. It is true that understanding the body and sexuality is empowering, but on the other hand, we worry that we will be looked at strangely, and that if we are hurt by our own sexuality, we are not qualified to speak it out.
"I think it's boring to have unprepared desires," Kuroki Kaori said to her male classmate. What she's trying to say is that sex isn't just funny, it comes at a great price. It's not enough to have a sexual desire if you enjoy yourself, you have to be strongly prepared. This is especially true for women.
The moment she undressed on the set and showed her armpit hair, there was hesitation and embarrassment on her face. She asks on our behalf. This is a small but physical political act to challenge the established order and to find one's own place.
If I were such a "dirty" girl, would the world accept me? Can I accept myself?

"My theme is love."
If you're not being forced by your family to pay off debts, raising money to study abroad, or buying a fancy bag, why become an AV actress and star in adult videos is an unsolvable mystery in the industry.
She became so popular that she began to appear on TV shows. The strong contrast between exaggerated behavior and young beauty is the reason why everyone likes and looks down on. She was teased for being nasty, considered silly, and even silenced.
"Everyone's glad I got to see my naughty sister live today" "This area has grown a little bigger" Her face clouded when she heard the man at the scene speak.
She knows that the world just wants to see a beautiful woman who talks bad things and thinks only about sex, but she doesn't really accept her. People think what she says is laughable, her body is just an object, and her armpit hair is still a laughing stock.

Chizuko Ueno analyzed the 1997 TEPCO office worker murder case in "Onna Girai: Misogyny in Nippon." The fact that a female executive employee of TEPCO, who earns 10 million yen a year, is engaged in prostitution at a price of 5,000 yen once a night has shocked Japan society. Because I can't think of a reason why she would do that.
In today's society, gender identity is becoming linked to individual identity. And an individual's identity is based on societal expectations.
From Ueno's point of view, this is not just a romantic thing like freedom of sex or self-realization, but rather a dichotomy between "saints" and "prostitutes" in Japan society. You have to choose one of these two: a "good woman" who is suitable for marriage and a "bad woman" who is suitable for playing. Even if it's neither, women have no choice but to choose one or the other to perform. Because that's how we live in this woman-dominated society.
"My theme is love, and love is the acceptance of nature. Therefore, one of my claims is that I have armpit hair. Well, what do you think? Thank you," several of the men present looked at her armpits and laughed awkwardly, but Kaori Kuroki didn't seem to care.
The phrase "My theme is love" sounds like a joke, but it really touches my heart. Her words, which made her feel less nervous when interviewing for AV appearances and no longer bothered her about various things, are a conclusion that she came to because she had experienced various things and struggled, and they are also an answer to society and herself.
What Kaori Kuroki Taught Me: Saints and Prostitutes Are Not Dichotomous
Ueno writes, "Whether you are a saint or a prostitute, both are oppression and otherization of women." The saint refuses to be thought of as a prostitute, but the prostitute criticizes the saint for being weak. It is the patriarchy that ultimately benefits from divide-and-conquer that divides women into two types of double standards.

Please read about Kaori Kuroki on the Internet or in interviews. You can see that she hasn't always had unwavering beliefs. The girl who shines on the screen and confidently says, "My theme is love," will continue to encounter a lot of anger, sadness, and helplessness.
I believe that there are countless answers between the dichotomy of fear or acceptance of sex, whether to be yourself or to live as you are told.
Kaori Kuroki showed her hesitation, struggle, and determination as a woman. The dichotomy between saints and prostitutes should not continue to be the norm. As a mother, an office lady, an idol, an AV actress, a daughter, and a woman, I hope that the day will come when I can overcome this dichotomy and live as I am.
