Activists campaign to help prostitutes and sex workers with stalkers
September 16, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
A civilian group has been formed for dealing with the problem of stalking among sex workers.
Following several high-profile murders, the issue of stalking by men in Japan has been big news recently.
The creation of SWASH in Osaka would be important in that respect alone but it's actually aimed at helping protect the working environments of sex workers, which is very rare. Although prostitution per se is not illegal in Japan -- only profiting from prostitution -- it is nonetheless almost unheard of for sex workers to be acknowledged in this way.
However, prostitutes working in ...
Tenga employees use Pocket Tenga sex toy as business card
September 15, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
As we know, Tenga take their sex toy design very seriously and have a good eye for marketing stunts.
They also make some of the best quality (and best-looking) sex toys in Japan today.
And it seems even their internal corporate modus operandi contain a clever tactics that make an impression and advertise their products.
Business cards are very important in Japan. You cannot work without them. But Tenga have done something pretty awesome. As IT Media discovered when they paid a visit to the Tenga HQ a little while ago, Tenga employees are now using the Pocket Tenga as an integrated ...
Cosplayer Luchino Fujisaki tries on “feast” flat-chested girls’ designer lingerie with alluring results
September 13, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
We recently blogged about a new line of designer lingerie especially for flat-chested Japanese girls.
Well, "feast" as it was daringly and ironically called, was a major hit, completely selling out its first run of bras and underwear, and generating a lot of publicity for its young designer.
Gomi Hayakawa is saying that you can have chippai (tiny tits) and still be cute.
Ero-cosplayer Luchino Fujisaki recently tried on the feast lingerie and posted photos for all the world to see. The results were alluring, to say the least.
You may not have much in the bust area but it's what ...
Japanese male porn actors: “More endangered than Bengal tiger”

It would surely be the most-wanted job for any man in Japan.
But incredible as it sounds, there is a shortage of male actors in Japanese porn (JAV).
"There are only 70 or so male adult video actors," Japan's biggest male porn star Shimiken tweeted the other day. "That's less than the number of Bengal tigers." He said that the ones doing most of the work are even less -- just 30.
We've always known that there was a relatively small number of men working professionally and full-time in the industry. But we didn't know the men themselves were worried.
Here is Shimiken and some ...
Sony’s “creepy” Project Morpheus Summer Lesson demo at Tokyo Game Show canceled!
September 12, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
After its ridiculously creepy Summer Lesson demo for Project Morpheus met an avalanche of criticism both domestically and overseas, Sony has pulled the plug on the demo exhibit that was set to debut at Tokyo Game Show later this month.
The cancellation was announced today (September 12th), over a week after the Playstation 4 Project Morpheus HMD demo went public, meeting an instant tidal wave of disbelief and disgust.
Summer Lesson was supposed to be the calling card for Sony's new HMD system. Announced on September 1st, it quickly raised eyebrows when it emerged the demo was about ...
Thai mathematics textbook publisher accidentally uses Japanese porn star photo on cover
September 12, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
It can be hard to appeal to school kids, especially when you are trying to teach them a dry subject like mathematics.
So you can forgive someone when they resort to gimmicks to perk students' interest. In the case of one publisher in Thailand, they used a picture of a hot woman on the cover of a textbook.
Okay, so not very subtle but it IS going to get the boys in the class interested.
There was only one problem.
Muang Thai Book sourced the image from the web -- common in Thailand, apparently -- and in fact it turned out to be a promo picture for a Japanese porn film.
Here ...
Aoyama Saint Hachamecha High School idol group management sues fans (and idols) for having sex
September 12, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
We've all fantasized about having sex with idols. Sometimes the idols break the rules imposed (probably illegally) by their management and have relationships, including with fans. Usually what then happens is they get found out and fire. They are left "shamed" for daring to have sex while the partner in question is the envy of men around the land.
But perhaps these guys would think twice about where they stick their wick next time.
Because they might just get sued.
Yes, in what might be the most incredulous flaunting of human rights in the history of the idol industry in Japan, a ...
Don’t leave your garbage behind on the beach, like this Tenga Cup
September 12, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
As we know, Japan's beaches are dirty and every year at the end of the summer there is a big cleanup operation to try to get rid of some of the garbage.
In fact, Tenga were clever enough to turn this kind of cleanup event into a marketing stunt, where the most active cleaners get free Tenga masturbatory aids. Now that would certainly inspire zeal among the young.
However, someone should let Tenga know -- they are partly responsible for the mess themselves!
A photo doing the rounds of the Japanese web at the moment is one apparently taken by someone of what they found among the ...

Relax. The Japanese economy has been saved. Engineers are here to rescue industry from the doldrums and produce the next step forward like the Walkman or the Hybrid car all those years ago.
Young engineers like this one.
Smart boffin Ryuto Soma joins a long line of other tech-savvy hentai geeks in Japan who use their technological skills for reasons of a masturbatory nature.
We've already had the Novint Falcon headset and Tenga combo and even a virtual sex system courtesy of the University of Tsukuba.
Ryuto Soma has come along and combined the Oculus Rift with a pair of ...
No more porn only for men: Porn for women getting big in Japan
September 11, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
Japan may well have the largest porn industry in the world and a vibrant sex toys market, but so far it has almost entirely been for the male consumer. Now porn for women is finally catching on in Japan.
Actually part of this is thanks to magazine Anan, which has run regular sex-themed special editions that have generated publicity and mainstream acceptance for fashion-minded women reading about sex. A recent August sex issue featured a freebie DVD from Soft on Demand's Silk Labo porn-for-women brand.
Soft on Demand has also placed women employees in senior positions and started a ...
