Most travelers take photographs when they encounter impressive scenes. One of the tourism areas that has recently been receiving a great amount of attention is "photogenic tourism." Photogenic travelers find interesting travel photographs on Social Networking Services (SNS) and then decide to go traveling. They also take many photographs while traveling and post them on SNS. Photogenic travelers seem to have a desire to express themselves, confirm their identity, and become aware of new aspects of themselves through a series of photogenic behaviors. The purpose of this study was to assess to what extent university students engage in photogenic tourism. Additionally, this study aimed to verify the following hypotheses: [Hypothesis 1] Looking back at photographs taken during travel elicits a sense of identity and helps discover new aspects of oneself and [Hypothesis 2] Those who frequently look at travel photographs before traveling, take photographs during travel, and post them on SNS confirm their identity and become more aware of new aspects of themselves. The survey was conducted among 189 university students in May 2018. The results demonstrate that for about half the participants, interesting travel photographs on SNS helped them decide to travel. Photogenic tourism seems to be popular among younger generations. Hypothesis 1 and Hypothesis 2 were supported by the results of this study.
The present study analyzed demographic and psychological factors that a唖 ect adult men's decisions to solicit a prostitute. We administered a questionnaire to 1 400 randomly sampled men aged 20 to 59, who live in the Tokyo metropolitan area obtaining 664 valid responses . The results revealed that 14.6 percent of respondents have had the experience of being a client in prostitution at some point over the past four to ve years. Men in their 50s, who spent their adolescence before the enforcement of anti-prostitution laws, had high prostitution acceptability. Those in their 20s and 30s, who spent their adolescence in the 1990s when "Enjyo-Kousai" Japanese amateur prostitution gained topicality, also showed high rates. These ndings are considered to be birth cohort e唖 ects. In addition, those men who reported grater sexual drive and desire for intimate contact with others, as well as those who reported fewer attitudes of gender egalitarianism, had higher rates of prostitution solicitation. Finally, those men who reported less emotional family bonds also showed higher rates.Key words: men, prostitution, sexual attitude, psychosexual behavior, age differences.
