Since few in Japan bother to use condoms (preferring to risk nakadashi or just pulling out to finish with a bang on their partner's face), the condom-makers resort to some pretty good marketing stunts to promote their products.
For example, creating the "world's thinnest condoms" or a "Condom Cookbook", or conducting sex surveys to alarm the country about their lack of sex.
There's even a Condom Day dedicated to the male contraceptive.
It's tougher for Durex, which is a foreign condom brand. The local market is dominated by Okamoto and Sagami, who specialize in condoms for the more ...
With the notable exception of Gravure models and porn stars, most Japanese women's busts are on the small side.
Of course, that doesn't mean they can't be cute.
Whole fashion lines have emerged to enhance the looks of flat-chested women, as well as some bras to make your breasts appear smaller.
Evidence even suggests that Japanese men prefer women with flat chests to the stereotypes of female beauty.
There is also a hinnyu ("poor breasts") Gravure idol called Mana. Granted, she's hardly in the top of her league but the fact that there are idols who trade on their hinnyu style ...
With the exception of some tennis players, women in sports get a bad rap.
And in Japan, most of the famous women involved with sports tend to fall on the burly side of the equation, especially the wrestlers.
Even Nadeshiko Japan, the much-publicized World Cup-winning national female soccer team, are hardly on the "hot" side. No one whacks one out while thinking of those ladies, we suspect...
But one supreme exception is volleyball, where the players have legions of fans.
A couple of years ago we featured these chunky-thighed lasses with cute faces but we can't resist ...
Boyfriend "rental" services have been around in Japan for a while and there are even virtual versions.
You can get "old guys", young guys, and of course there are female equivalents too.
It's not so different from the douhan system, where a host or hostess goes on a date with a client before taking them to the club for (expensive) drinks.
Kotaku reported on a Japanese morning TV segment showcasing boyfriend rental services.
Although the subject isn't new, there were some interesting nuggets of information.
While there are much cheaper options out there, this service was ...
A new PS3 and PS4 video game by D3 Publisher lets you fulfil those panchira fantasies by having your virtual self take secret photos up girls' skirts!
The full name of the game is:
Natsuiro Haisukuru ★ Seishun Hakusho ～ Tenko Shonichi no Ore ga Osananajimi to Sakai Shitara Hodobuin ni Sareteite Gekisha Shonen no Hibi wa Sukupu Dairenpatsu de Igai to Motemotena no ni Nazeka Maimemori wa Pantsu Shashin Bakkari to iu Genjitsu to Mukiainagara Kangaeru Hito Natsu no Shima no Gakuen Seikatsu to Sekirarana Koi no Yukue～

Summer Color High ...
A judge has made a ruling which should mean hostesses and hostess club mama-san's (the older ladies who own and/or manage the club) can rest easy.
The wife of a CEO who spent around seven years having an affair with the mama of a Ginza hostess club sued her husband's sexual partner for "mental suffering" she had caused. She wanted compensation of ¥4 million ($32,000).
The judge said that the Ginza mama-san was just doing makura eigyo ("pillow business"), the euphemism for when people have sex to further their career or do business. In other words, the Ginza hostess mama-san only ...
Forget any offering from Ghibli or the like. The top anime release of the year is already here.
And it's got Tenga in it!
Tenga features in the latest episode of the Nonty series of short anime, where the eponymous character talks to another character called Danny.
Danny sadly has a Tenga onacup stuck on his head and begs Nonty to tell him the best way to get it off.
This one also features a eight-year-anniverary special Tenga onacup and Nonty tries to educate Danny about what Tenga is.
We're stick waiting for Tenga, the Video Game. Perhaps it will look ...

On a recent trip to Kyodo, a station in Setagaya, Tokyo, we were amused to see the Colonel Sanders outside the local KFC had been decorated in a black and red costume.
Naturally our first thoughts were: that's a Tenga theme.
It suspiciously matches the color design for the Tenga SD Deep Throat Hard Cup toy.
I have no proof that KFC was indeed being cheeky here. It might be just some anime reference or a samurai armor costume.
They frequently dress up their famous mascot mannequins outside the outlets depending on the season. But we can't imagine why else they would ...
