I'm sure Jim did some research on his own. My 2003 edition of
contemporary
terms (現代用語の基礎知識) says that in 1996 援助交際 entered the popular
language as a
euphemism for teen prostitution - specifically the practice of middle
school girls in their school uniforms establishing a relationship with a
much older man.


Does "middle school girls" mean 中学生?

Also, do you actually know that "enjo kousai" is the same thing as
prostitution?

I can't find evidence for that, and many statements I found on the topic
seem to not support that view, so I wonder how anyone can be so certain.


なんかすごいおくれてるんですが。
