Ahh, here it is.
I saw on TV a little over two weeks ago a documentary-ish thing talking about the sexual liberty in Denmark.
To paraphrase, there are no rules.
There exists no laws (or so the tube told me) that regulate who can aquire pornography, what is in them, or where they can be aquired. Although some politicians are concerned about too much sexual exposure for children, the only thing the program covered was how newsstands were required to remove the adult magazines above children's eye-level.
Japan is fairly liberal when it comes to pronography as well, and there is almost no need to censor swearing. Although offensive language exist, they are no not as simple as a single word since most of them are thrown around casually by most people. It's not frowned upon to, say, have a f-word joke where a character exlaims "fax you!" in a kid's "manga magazine". (this is real by the way, and said character was corrected by another)
