Christine--
If what you say about sushi is true, I doubt that Japan would have developed into the formidible economic power that it is today (and yes, things look grim, but with luck they'll turn around). This parasite business sounds extremely silly to me; people have been eating raw fish forever, and not just in Japan.
Fugu: the sushi/sashimi favorite. A kind of blowfish, it is in part extremely poisonous: eat the wrong things and you're instant history. Therein lies its charm; apparently it doesn't actually taste better than many other things. Fugu chefs must be licensed.
Strawberry love oil: perhaps, but not on food.
Tantric sex: read a curious article about it. You're supposed to, shall we say, get things going, and then without, uh, shall we say...parting?, lie there on your sides doing absolutely nothing but meditating. After 28 minutes, but before 32, you're supposed spontaneously to have an unbelievable orgasm. If you haven't fallen asleep or given up and turned on the tv or something.
