Is it common for Japanese men to do this?
Also, why do you think my boyfriend fucked his ex the last time he saw her? And is it common for Japanese women to just let themselves be used like that by their exes? Do they have no self respect? Apparently he was a bit rough with her that. Last time because he didn't consider her his gf anymore
If she has sex does that mean she still liked him? And didn't wanna break up?
nah this isn't a japanese man thing, this is just a shitty guy thing. happens everywhere. the fact he got rough with her on purpose cause she wasn't "his gf anymore" is a huge red flag tbh.
as for why she went along with it, crying during sex isn't consent or enjoyment, it's often just shock or freezing up. some people can't process what's happening in the moment and just let it happen. doesn't mean she had no self respect or still wanted him back.
honestly the bigger question is why ur boyfriend told u all this in detail. that's weird to share with a current partner, like he's testing what u'll tolerate. keep an eye on that.
that's not a japan thing, that's a specific guy being a trash partner. i've lived in tokyo 8 years and known plenty of guys who'd never pull that. he was probably trying to feel powerful or avoid his own guilt by turning a breakup into something he could control. as for her, she was crying and vulnerable, not "letting herself be used" -- she was in shock and he took advantage. that's on him, not some cultural thing about japanese women
yeah this isn't a japan thing, this is just a shitty guy thing. that's not "comforting," that's manipulation. and her being upset and going along with it doesn't mean she had no self respect, it means she was in a vulnerable state and he took advantage of it. happens everywhere, not specific to japanese culture at all

Where can I find crispy, pan-fried bacon similar to a certain international style?
if u have a costco membership the kirkland thick cut is the move, 4 packs of 500g for around 2500 yen and it crisps up proper in a cold pan. for smaller runs, precce in azabudai hills & the basement at isetan shinjuku both carry imported US & danish brands in the chilled case, just read the label for "thick cut" or "smoked" and not "loin". also worth knowing japanese bacon is often wet-cured so pat it dry before frying or it steams instead of crisping
kaldi coffee farm is hit or miss but their smoked bacon from denmark shows up pretty regular, the 200g pack runs about 600 yen. what actually works better for me is asking the butcher counter at peacock or life to slice the block bacon thick, like 5mm, they do it for free and it crisps way better than the pre-packed stuff. also fwiw cheap bacon crisps faster, the fatty supermarket kind at 300 yen a pack works fine if u cook it from cold in a dry pan and pour off the fat as it renders.
tbh the gyomu super store brand bacon is surprisingly decent for crisping up, its not thick cut but if you cook it low and slow it gets pretty crunchy. the key is the dry cure vs wet cure thing, wet cure steams. also check hanamasa if you have one nearby, they sell big packs of american style bacon thats actually smoked and firm.
