lying in the gutters is Rich Johnston's coilumn at www.comicbookresources.com and is a legitimate column on a legitimate comic book site. I also won't post any links but you can get to the column from there.
I actually enjoy comicbookresources as my main copmic editorial site.. though still prefer newsarama for news.

Welcome to like - 1996 Nomo. Marvel tried publishing that stuff here.
Spiderman wouldn't have these problems if he were creator owned, and there were an end in sight.
Instead, Spiderman will have to be continually re-invented and this re-invention justified by the idiot fans who just can't accept that it's time to move on.
Peter Parker needs to age, supporting characters need to die and stay dead; and at the end of the day he has to hang up his tights - and not in some fucking What If? title.
Like they say, some things never change:
Corporate Comics and their fans. :lol

IIRC one of the guys that the did the Spider-Man manga in question is the same guy that drew CRYING FREEMAN and SANCTUARY. Expect rape, sex, and titties if it's by him. 
And isn't the Spider-Man manga from the 70s or early 80s? The art certainly looked that way.

Something Ikegami
This was early on in his career, so it's got a bit of a Tezuka flair to it.
Not at all like Strain / Sanctuary.

The new lying in the gutters format sucks.
Don't see anything wrong with it, it just takes it to the next level. I mean, Spider-Man's always been the epitome of a nerd. What nerd doesn't beat off to hot girls he knows that he has a hard time getting? Its dealing with his sexual frustration. It might be over the top, but is it that out of line with the Peter Parker archetype? Its just something they were probably too scared to touch before.

Most likely it's due to most American comic heros not having genitals, or reproductive organs to speak of.
You get some spheres for tittays, and that's as close as you get to reproductive organs.

You expect Marvel to localize that content? :lol
Come on dude. I'm pretty sure they only published a limited segment of it before ultimately shit canning it. Yeah, 31 issues according to Mile High.
Still - this is an issue that's been touched on, and swept under the rug immediately by the powers that be. Look at Black Cat - total psycho stalker slut when she first appeared. Imagine where that could have gone if we didn't have to play with the kid's gloves on?
Now I'm not implying that Spidey turn into a total porn book, but you know damn well that if a piece of tail like that was coming on to you:
