The latest naked selfie exhibitionist to heat up the Japanese internet is this beauty, and does she have a bust or what?! She hides her face with some cutesy anime-style filters, but her body is there in all its adult glory for us to wonder at. Apparently she's 22 years old and seems to enjoy sitting down totally naked on her chair. Man, we would love to be that chair. She's not quite paipan but you can clearly see her pussy in the pictures. In Japanese, these "Twitter nude goddesses" are known as uraaka (ura-aka) or uraaka joshi, ...

We spotted this story shuttling around various overseas media outlets. It's been a few weeks since it was first published but, given that foreign press don't think this kind of story ever gets old, we decided to run it anyway. Of course, it is that old trope: a lonely Japanese guy and his fake girlfriend. This might be a virtual one or a music idol he'll never meet, or a dakimakura hug pillow -- or, as in this case, a a sex doll. Here we go on that merry-go-round again... Despite being married with two children, 61-year-old Senji Nakajima admits that his heart lies with his ...

The "hair nude" is a curious Japanese-English term. It refers not just to naked flesh; it's naked flesh specifically with genital hair. What is "shocking" here is the display of pubic hair, the line by which art and entertainment is usually fettered in Japan. It is fine to have plenty of nudity in films and print publications, but to avoid the century-old ambiguous obscenity laws, people censored or did not show actual pubic hair. The hair nude set out to deliberately show this bush taboo was something to be challenged, both legally and artistically. While the likes of Nobuyoshi Araki ...

Frankly it's so hot and sweaty right now that my home it a permanent nudist camp. Originally it had made a big thing out of how you couldn't be more then 15kg (33 lbs) over the average weight for your height -- and that they would be weighing patrons at the entrance to check! After all, the logic went, who wants to be put off their dinner by excess flab? Guests are served by near-naked hot guys, meaning this is a host ...

If you have a thing for waif-like, slender angels, then Aoyama's work is for you. Well, School Complex 4 has come out and this time the theme is schoolgirls "flipping" each other's skirts -- a theme also explored in calendars, of course.

This is something to make your eyes pop out. It might disgust or amaze you, depending on your level of tolerance. The Chastity Daruma Ridge by Libido Lab is a collaboration with the mangaka Shiruka Bakaudon (知るかバカうどん), known for his dark and violent comics. It features the torso of a slender Japanese girl with almost prepubescent breasts and... chopped-off limbs. Now whether your winced at that or smirked perhaps reveals a fair bit about your sexual proclivities. It is apparently inspired by Wu Zetian's or Lu Zhi's method of torturing and killing rivals. The ...
