It's the end of an era, sort of. One of the most prominent adult shops in Tokyo, Condomania, located right on Omotesando in Harajuku, will close at its current store on May 1st due to road expansion work. It opened in 1993 with the aim of stopping the spread of HIV in Japan. For 25 years it has continued that work of making sex safer, along with another branch in Sannomiya in Kobe. It's not necessarily bad news for Condomania. A new Tokyo branch will open on May 3rd, but this one is slightly down a backstreet around the corner from Ice Monster on Omotesando. So Condomania survives, ...

We recently stumbled across this video of a black man who freestyle raps his way around the love hotel district of Kabukicho in Shinjuku, Tokyo. In the background we see couples scurrying into the entrances for an intimate session. As the foreigner wanders the streets of Kabukicho's love hotels, he apparently bumps into a random Japanese lady. He serenades and picks up the woman, and then together they enter a love hotel for some good interracial times together. In the next video, things get a bit more heated. Our gaijin adventurer continues his rapping while his female ...

Remember our excitement over Suzu Honjo? Ahead of her much-anticipated adult video debut for Soft on Demand, she did a lavish nude photo shoot. Now we've found some preview images from her first AV release, which came out on April 26th from SOD Star. Directed by Ietaro, Honjo's 305-minute title (1STAR00888SS) has attracted 10,000 advance reservations, which is a lot in an overcrowded industry where many performers debut to a whimper (with the exception of a few celebrities switching over from another industry) and most releases shift only a few thousand in total. In her porn ...

To each his or her own, as we always say. One man's fetish is another man's nightmare, and vice versa. But even so, sometimes the mind does Twitter user @cAstadb recently shared some awesome images of her encounter with a foreigner in Shibuya, which apparently resulted in her stepping on his face and body (a fetish known as trampling). Clad in a skirt, black top, and black boots, she walked over his chest and face. Just what is going on here? In fact, the man is Fumare Lou-chan (Stepped-on Lou), a white American and total Japanophile with a seriously strong penchant for femdom and ...

Combining bodybuilding and sports with gravure, "muscles idol" Reika Saiki is a femdom fetishist's dream come true. It's not hard to imagine her appeal with harmony of cute face and muscular body. Imagine those thunder thighs and powerful arms pinning you down while she grinds you! She's not completely new to the scene, though. We already noted her brawny charms in 2016. Now Reika Saiki has taken things to the next logical conclusion: by transforming into Street Fighter's Chun-Li. She recently posed for some stunning shots that really show off her combat pose and chunky ...

Except for some content on what used to be known as "non-terrestrial channels," Japanese television does not usually show nudity except for comedic effect. While the content might be cheeky, even erotic, you will disappointed if you have just switched over from HBO. The drama sex scenes, for example, are innocent and nude flesh carefully hidden by camera angles. Take the recent TV show that focused on a nude photography shoot -- surely a subject that necessitates nudity -- that only showed us butt. And so it is that we were amused to see the NHK Educational TV, known as NHK E-Tele, a ...

Whoever says that Japanese girls are shy probably hasn't been out much at night in Tokyo. There are plenty of ladies in Shibuya, Roppongi and the like who are very forward, especially after a few drinks. As the weather heats up, we look forward to enjoying a bit of nampa with these girls on the streets at night. If you're lucky, you'll meet a couple of girls like these two, who recently decided to show the city the fact that they weren't wearing bras. They flashed their breasts for a not insignificant amount of time by pulling up their tops and fondling their busts while both sitting ...

Just when you think the bureaucrats couldn't get any sillier, along come some to prove you wrong. Activists and ero-manga (adult manga) fans in Japan have been shocked by the recent designation by Hokkaido and Shiga prefectures of two reference books as "harmful" to youngsters. Zenkoku-ban Anohino Erohon Jihanki Tanbouki (Nationwide Study of Pornography Vending Machine of Yesterdays) and Ero Manga Hyogenshi (The Expression History of Ero-manga) by Yusuke Kato are about adult manga but are not adult manga themselves. But this distinction means nothing to Shiga and Hokkaido: the former ...

We all have our peccadilloes, but some are stranger than others. Some of them are rightfully referred to as fetishes -- and some will get you arrested. And sometimes they are both. Judging by the astounding amount of smell fetish toys, sprays, and lubes available, Japan would seem to have a thing for erotic aromas. A minority, though, inevitably take things too far. One day, a Japanese man decided he wanted to take some shoes from a school in Noboribetsu on the northern island of Hokkaido. But he didn't want them as ordinary footwear. No, his interest lay in their pungent value ...

The results are predictable and messy. Along comes a journalist in the West who fancies tackleing the thorny old saw that is sexlessness in Japan, or a perceived problem of sexlessness, and blunders around making generalizations based on some Google searches. This time it's well-known writer Julie Burchill in the British right-leaning weekly magazine The Spectator, who provocatively asks "Why do the Japanese despise sex?" Her rationale seems to be that it all comes down to hikikomori -- acute social withdrawal syndrome -- which affects, the article claims, some half a million male ...
