Enjo kōsai
means "compensated dating" and is the Japanese language term for the practice of older men giving money and/or luxury gifts to attractive women for their companionship and possibly, for sexual favors. The female participants range from school girls to housewives. A common misconception that, in Japan, enjo-kōsai always involves some form of sexual activity. In the opposite case of women paying men, it is called , or "reverse compensated dating".
==Definition==
The nature of enjo-kōsai is heavily contested within Japan. The most common connotation is that it is a form of child prostitution whereby participating girls sell their bodies in exchange for designer goods or money. However, to label enjo-kōsai by the most basic definition of prostitution whereby a person attains money through the exchange of sexual acts〔"(prostitution )" Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law. Merriam-Webster, Inc. 1 October 2007. 〕 excludes an array of other activities.
Many groups, including women's centers and associations within Japan, include "the exchange of a girl's company or time" as part of this equation〔"(The Meaning of Enjo-Kousai )" DawnCenter Official Web Site. 2003. Dawn Center- Osaka Women's Prefectural Center. 12 October 2007.〕 and insist that these other activities define enjo-kōsai. Anthropologist Laura Miller argues in her research that the majority of enjo-kōsai dates consists of groups of girls going with a group of older men to a karaoke bar for several hours and being paid for their time.
Furthermore, in a 1998 survey by the Asian Women's Fund, researchers found that fewer than 10 percent of all high school girls engage in enjo-kōsai and over 90 percent of the girls interviewed attested to feeling uncomfortable with the exchange or purchase of sexual services for money.
