Are they trying to hide something about their Lesbian culture. I mean, i already know there's a large community of japan lesbians but why are there almost no Websites IN ENGLISH about lesbians there.

It is still taboo to be a homosexual in Japan until today. Many lesbians even prefer to have web sex than actual sex because of strict culture. Many lesbians in Friendster accept only beautiful women.

I'm am sure there are thousands of sites about lesbians, just because they are not in English doesn't mean they are not out there. People will have their own personal blogs.
A good point is brought up. Why would anyone go to the bother of writing up a website in English on lesbians when the market is for Japanese. If you truly wish to study Japanese culture you need to learn the language, other wise you will have a twisted version, from the view of some gaijin.

Do you want information or do you want to read porn like stuff? If you want a place to start gathering info check this site. I have no intrest in the subject that you are asking about and I would guess you want to read porn because all I did was put "Lesbians in Japan" into a search and came up with the site below. Maybe you should take your hands out of your pants and use them to conduct a search.

There is not a big community for lesbians in Japan so you won't find anything on lesbian culture in JP. However, there is a large community for gay men.

Japan, while not as un-accepting as, say, America, likes to not make homosexuality as big of a deal as people in the West.
They're there, they're queer, and so long as not everyone acts like Hard Gay they're used to it.
However, I don't see why you expect *Japan*, a country which has only one national language of *Japanese* to have English sections for a part which they're really rather not discuss one way or another.
If you want a (somewhat Westerner's view) of homosexuality in Japan in English, there are plenty.

However, with Japan still being a rather male-dominated society where it's quite expected to settle down and marry as a woman, there's more information for *male* homosexuality than female.

Maybe the Japanese lesbians are too busy living their lives to waste their time making websites for your amusement.

They are not as open about their sexual preferences.
