Fumoto no iro

Fumoto no iro (麓の色 Sex in the Foothills) is an ancient Japanese text that tells the story of a sixty year old gigolo named Ogiya Yashige. Though fictional, Yashige is notable for flouting contemporary Japanese notions of morality, which dictated that (gay) male prostitutes were already past their prime at seventeen years of age. Pubescent boys were anal penetrators; pre-pubescent boys were to be penetrated.
