That is so weird to me that a society with much more Shame basis for stuff does not shame attraction to and relationships with minors.

On the other hand I’ve always wondered when is shame effective as a social motivator to prevent misdeeds, and when does it push people to hide their problems instead of seeking help and solutions?

Because what a culture considers immoral is not the same as whether they use shame to police immorality.

  Ah, yes, Japan - famously not a shame policing place. Maybe I should commit seppuku for this dishonor.
