Watching some producers using the seppuku ritual for the sexual death fetish element, make me think that no one here knows exactly the true meaning of this japanese ritual...
Me knowing the true meaning of this ritual, I can clearly say you that I will not be able to turn on on the seppuku, I could really try, force me in to it to have sexual pleasure watching a woman making seppuku but I will surely fail.
Many westerners will have difficulty to understand it from culturally point of view, I will explain :
1st : Traditionally the Seppuku is intended for men, especially for the samurai in the feodal age in Japan, women are forbidden to practice it, they have their own way of committing suicide, usually they cut their throats with a knife.
2nd : The seppuku is not a suicide ideologically speaking or even a bad ending or even a painful death, but on the contrary it is a happy ending, a "great honor" for those who commit it in the japanese tradition, it means in fact overcoming the ultimate death and the ultimate suffering. Like the fanatics crazy muslims blowing up themselves to reach paradise, the seppuku is an act of a crazy fanatic. The Samurai is in fact a fanatic warrior seeking always the difficulty and the physical suffering for his own glory and the glory of his nation, meaning the physical suffering is a pleasure for the samurai !!! The only suffering that will hurt the fanatic samurai are in the moral and ethic, to heal from the moral corruption the samurai will automatically make the seppuku. The seppuku is an act of kindness for the glory of the fanatic...
As I know all this and said about this, I can not enjoying and turning on watching someone for whom the suffering and death mean : pleasure and happy event ! I will turn on only if women is really suffering and fearing the pain and are scary to die. A lunatic fanatic is in opposite of that.
Now I ask you this question : Do you turn on by watching women not fearing suffering or death and taking pleasure by killing themselves ? Me, no.
