More bad news coverage about male hosts as the moral panic over this industry continues.
A Kabukicho host was arrested early last week for allegedly exploiting and prostituting a junior high school student who owed his club around ¥6 million.
The 22-year-old host Renji (Yuya Inaba) works at the appropriately named Worst Over in Kabukicho, central Tokyo. He is also accused of bringing the girl into his club when she was just 15 years old and serving her alcohol, including a very expensive "champagne tower" order.
The student used her mother's credit card and cash from her grandmother to ...
We love taking a trip not so much down memory lane as Japanese sex history lane, back to the early days of hair nudes (full-frontal shoots) and classic porn from the Showa era.
We previously took a nostalgic look at Japanese gravure idols from the 1970s and '80s that included the comely Nami Asada (麻田奈美).
Nami Asada made a real stir in the 1970s with her nude photo shoots that showcased her stunning F-cup breasts to the full.
The "apple nudes," where she used an apple prop to cover her most intimate parts, first appeared in 1973 in several issues of Heibon Punch magazine. They were ...
Revenge porn cases hit a record high in 2023, according to a report by the National Police Agency released on April 8.
The agency said that it received 1,812 consultations from people during the 2023 about nude images leaked by a partner or ex-partner.
It's up 4.9% from 2022 and marks the seventh year in a row in which cases have risen.
It is a worrying trend but, with the complete proliferation of phones and online culture, likely only to get worse. In part, the increase is also due to greater recognition of revenge porn as a phenomenon and a legal category, and criminalization of it ...
As we've written before, plastic surgery is an open secret in Japanese entertainment. Almost no one talks about it but everyone knows that some celebrities get it done. Only a small minority come forward and admit to having submitted to the surgeon's knife, and sometimes face mockery for it.
One such is Minami Fukuoka, the 28-year-old Tokyo University of Science graduate and former gravure model who now seems to make a living from media appearances and endorsing products on her social media channels.
Having apparently made a small fortune from live streaming -- to such an extent that she ...
We have all experienced times when we are horny. Often, the only solution is to sneak off somewhere and bust a nut to get rid of that pesky boner that just won't die down otherwise.
Some guys, though, take a different approach to dealing with their untamable sexual desires.
According to multiple reports in the media, police in Tokyo have arrested a man on suspicion of damaging property after he rubbed his anus against a faucet in a public park.
The self-employed 56-year-old's actions resulted in the faucet becoming unusable.
The faucet was in Roka Park, located in the residential ward ...
It sounds like an April's Fool but it's not: a group in a city in Gifu, central Japan, was preparing to give a sex education talk at an elementary school, when it was instructed by the school not to mention intercourse.
How can you do sex education without mentioning, well, sex?
The group, Kokoiku, is apparently used to such requests, and it employs a range of teaching tools, including dummies, to tell young people about how human bodies work, from menstruation to ejaculation and childbirth, but often has to leave out the answer to the most important question: Where do babies come ...
A man with Pakistani nationality has been charged on suspicion of indecent acts with variously aged women on the streets of Hanyu, following several other recent incidents in the Saitama city.
The unanmed 25-year-old man, who lives in Fujiishimogumi, Hanyu, has been additionally charged with the gropings and sent to the prosecutors.
Local police say there have been eight such cases in Hanyu, of which the man has now been additionally charged in connection with five.
The alleged incidents took place between July and December last year, and involved women in Hanyu either walking or ...
Where do fantasies about schoolgirls go too far? One example could be when you're upskirting schoolgirls at events.
School events are meant to be for kids, parents, and teachers. But it seems that some people -- perhaps sex-starved male parents! -- are more focused on the skimpy clothing that cheerleaders wear during school sporting tournaments, and take inappropriate pictures of them.
Female cheerleaders at the Koshien annual high school baseball tournament, which begins today, are often targets of sexualized photographs by some spectators.
Given that the young ladies are wearing ...
Every two or so months, we seem to stumble upon yet another news story about sexlessness in Japan. And with perfect timing, here's the latest, following the claim that two in three marriages in Japan are sexless that we wrote about in January.
As always, these assertions are based on surveys with dubiously small samples. First published in the Japan Times, this latest story states that nearly half of married couples don't have sex. (And if you're now feeling déjà vu, you're not alone: an almost identical article appeared in 2017.)
The first question mark about this is the definition of ...
After tantalizing us with a short yet sexy nude scene in the very first episode, Yuka Kouri is back with more nudity in the Disney and FX series Shogun.
In episode four, we get treated to a proper sex scene. She sits naked in her lover's lap, who promptly lies down on top of her (because it would be frankly rude not to). "I love you, Kiku," he says, and who can play him? They begin to kiss.
The scene is, admittedly, only a few seconds long but is more explicit than the previous one and very sensual. We get nice glimpses of Yuka Kouri's breasts and her legs as her lover lies on top ...
