    Families differ, but Asian culture in general places less emphasis on individual choice and freedom. I have been married to a Japanese woman for 26 years, and she and her family are much more Western in outlook than most of the Japanese and Chinese we know, even those who live here in the US.

    Melanie, Most men have strong desire for sex, and the desire is stimulated by the sight, sound, and especially attention of an attractive woman. Most of us have sufficient self-control to refrain from embarrassing responses to this desire (ogling, drooling, or making an obvious pass), particularly if married or in a satisfying relationship. The desire itself is healthy…without it, humanity will depopulate. Cultural training helps us keep it in perspective. Some men (and some women) have strong desire for power over others, and if such a person also feels very insecure or inadequate, the desire may be manifested as an urge to hurt or otherwise overpower someone. Some percentage of such men act out this desire by rape, probably the most hurtful act one can commit short of murder. As you may imagine, there are very many other ways the desire to dominate in hurtful ways is carried out. This kind of desire and these kinds of actions are sick. So, we aren’t all monsters, but if you are at all attractive, sexual desire is an undercurrent that simply will not go away. Self control keeps it to an undercurrent, rather than an obtrusive, unpleasant overtone.
