Here's some vintage coverage of United States servicemen enjoying nascent Japanese-style Turkish baths (toruko-buro, the old name for what became soapland).
"The Turkish Bath has come to Tokyo with a difference," it proclaims. "Real Hot Turkish Bath". Hmm, quite.
The source is apparently a June 1958 issue of adult magazine People Today. The original scans are viewable here.
The magazine article appears to cover the new modern steam baths appearing in Tokyo in the postwar period, possibly during the occupation years before prostitution was illegalized.
This is all very ...
The annual AIDS awareness charity event 24-Hour TV: Eroticism Saves the Earth was held over the weekend, complete with its televised antics and its now frankly traditional Shinjuku porn star breast groping event. All in a good cause, we'll have you know!
Leading up to the event there was even an online fund-raising campaign. Love is Patience challenged you not to look at hot Japanese girls while they did "sexy" stuff. The longer you held out, the more money raised for charity.
This year's event at the Shinjuku venue attracted 7,175 people -- the highest ever and around 1,000 more than ...
A kiss isn't always something most otaku have experienced yet. And they certainly haven't experienced it with their 2D idols (after all, who has?).
But that doesn't stop their fevered imaginations -- nor does it stop the people who want to make money out of otaku wet dreams.
The candy Kanro Ame has a new flavor: game idol kiss.
Girl Friend Beta, for those poor unenlightened souls out there, is a iOS and Android phone game, with a PlayStation Vita spin-off, manga versions and even an anime adaptation. Quite an industry already.
Essentially it's a dating simulator game with various ...
In Japan, there are often "stamp rallies" at train stations or other places. These marketing campaigns encourage people to come to the location and collect stamps from certain spots. This means you have to visit several places, increasing foot traffic at malls, stations, and so on.
Usually they are innocuous promos for kids. But not always.
A stamp rally for the anime series Valkyrie Drive Mermaid has adopted a novel approach: you "stamp" your picture of a female anime character with breasts.
Remember, the Valkyrie Drive franchise is so popular it even became a sex doll ...
Good news! The punishment for serial voyeurism is not as harsh as you might expect!
The case of the Kobe serial drain panty voyeur has captivated us all, from the unabashed earnestness of the act -- hours spent in a storm drain just to glimpse a few seconds of the holy grail of passing women's panties -- to the defense by his mother that Yasuomi Hirai it not a pervert, but just likes to hide in drains
Well, it seems that such extreme panchira fetish acts don't land you in as much trouble as you might expect.
The 28-year-old Hirai has now been summarily indicted and fined ...
Breasts and charity often go together in Japan, as we have seen from past stunts where you can get a grope of some porn star breasts if you donate to a good cause.
Now Japanese adult satellite channel SKY PerfecTV! is holding the 24-Hour TV: Eroticism Saves the Earth (ERO24TV) again is promoting an AIDS awareness charity.
And its methodology is novel, if flawed. Apparently the longer you can keep your eyes closed and not give in to temptation to look at the lovely ladies on display they will donate your money.
Love is Patience is the name of the challenge, available ...
Burlesque fans, get your party clothes on, because on December 11th ageHa will host Burlesque Tokyo Collection x ageHa - Tokyo Tip Night.
The one-night only event will feature around 50 burlesque dancers, which should be more than enough to whet our appetites.

This video shows some of the sexiness we can expect.
The main performers are from the aptly named Burlesque Tokyo club in ...
Japan is apparently the biggest producer of selfie porn and here's a great example.
Here is a series of hamedori (POV porn) images, purportedly leaked, showing two colleges students having a good time.
We have no idea if this is genuine but enjoy...

Once again we have bad news about Japan and sexually transmitted diseases.
Syphilis cases have jumped yet again, this time increasing by over 2,000 in less than a year.
The number of cases logged between January 1st and October 28th is 2,037 -- already more than 2014's record 1,617.
1,463 of the cases were male, while 574 were female.
There has been a 2.1 increase in the number of women contracting syphilis through heterosexual contact.
The increase especially affected women aged between 15 and 35, and between 20 and 24. Ladies, protect yourselves!
Japan is a land ...
The joy of sleeping with a beautiful partner -- and we mean the sleeping part -- is something many of us don't get to experience on a regular enough basis.
In fact, it's such an unattainable dream for some that there are even digital alternatives to make up for what reality cannot provide.
But what about the ladies? Do they get to enjoy the wonders of sleeping next to a hot guy enough in their busy lives?
It seems the answer is no, since there is a job called a soine-shi -- a professional snuggler.
One such ikemen "hunk" version of this little-known trade is Kaede Ichijo, ...
