You can judge how well you have hit it off with a new partner as well as a lot about his or her character by how intimate you get on your first date.
According to a dubious sex survey, 14.3% of Japanese women "expect" a first date to end with a sleep-over and sex.
Of course, "expect" is not "want", so women are probably factoring in pressure from the man, his expectations, and also the influence of booze.
The survey by My Navi is hardly represents the broadest of research: it asked just 300 women over June and July through an online survey. And of course, while 14.3% may say a ...
Mero Imai: Olympic snowboarder, former call girl, nude model, and mother
September 9, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Mero Imai is a woman of many talents: a former snowboard half-pipe Olympic competitor, a one-time hostess and call girl, a nude model, and a bondage slave (photographically, at least).
Born in 1987, Imai has posed for a hair nude shoot for her 2013 photo book "Mellow Style", as well as a series of provocative bondage images for a weekly tabloid.
Alas, the images of the 2013 BDSM-inspired shoot only seem to be online as scans of the magazine.
She revealed in 2012 that after her failure at the 2006 Winter Olympics, she became a ...
Anan teaches Japanese women what to do with a (cute) penis
September 4, 2015
/ Megumi
The fashion and lifestyle magazine Anan famously likes to put naked models and actresses on its cover.
Female celebrities like Yui Ichikawa, Nanao and Maomi Yuuki and have taken their careers to new stages not by doing hair nude shoots or erotic spreads for tabloid or Gravure weekly magazines, but by tasteful yet sexy nude shoots in Anan.
It also does a "sex issue" quite regularly.
In the most recent one (with the lovely Jun Hasegawa on the cover) it really went back to basics: teaching people how to use vibrators, go down on a girl, and so on. We're not sure if the idea is that a ...
Meet the man behind the Female University Student No.10 perfume
September 1, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
The web magazine Ignition had an interesting article about Daigo Igarashi, the "modern alchemist" who created the Female University Student No.10 perfume replicating the “scent of a girl”.
The aroma, one of many such smell fetish items in Japan, was showcased at the Niconico Chokaigi in April.
The fragrance was developed by Daigo Igarashi (also known by his handle/stage name “Hiroko Ashiyama”) who’s been busy researching the topic of “hacking the five senses.” It all started with a simple question: “Why do girls smell so nice?” which lead Mr. Igarashi to focus ...
Artist Tatsuya Yamasaki paints “Hentai” artwork with his penis
August 28, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Artist Tatsuya Yamasaki has created a knowing artwork provocatively called Hentai in which he paints a picture using his penis as a ersatz brush.
We don't know if his YouTube video, published a month ago, will get taken down but here are some grabs. The video is a kind of time-lapse affair, with footage from different angles speeded up.
This is not parody or plain silliness. Yamasaki, who would appear to be of Japanese descent but who is from and lives in Australia, is very serious, as his artist statement reveals.
Here is the video description:
Japan: whilst there is a ...
Male nipple fetish photo book may be a step too far for some
August 28, 2015
/ Megumi
It's no secret that this blog showcases its fair share of female nipples.
But what about men? Men have two nipples, don't you know!
They tend to get a bad rap: some metrosexual guys in Japan even cover up their nipples with stickers.
Well, if you have a hankering for male nipples, then you might want to check out this book, spotted at the recent Comiket.
With photography by Minatsuki, “I love everyone! Man’s nipple” is everything you would expect from such a title.
While there may be some people who want to gaze at large images of male nipples -- and ...
Politician Takaya Muto “paid for sex with underage man”
August 26, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Takaya Muto has already been forced to resign over a money scandal.
Now he might have to contend with a sex scandal too.
The 36-year-old Lower House member of the conservative Liberal Democratic Party already made a lot of enemies when he took to Twitter to brand activists protesting against the government's immensely controversial state security bills as "selfish" and "fooled" by "propaganda and false information".
That was late July.
Fast-forward a few weeks and Muto is not looking so smug now.
He has been forced to quit his party after tabloid Shukan Bunshun exposed ...
Kotaku has shared a story about what may be the "longest hug pillow in the world".
The dakimakura in question features human-snake lady Miia from the anime and manga Monster Musume, which is an ultimate masochist fantasy.
Of course, the hug pillow cover matches Miia's long, slivery body with its length, which could strength down between floors! 7 meters (22.96 feet) of hug pillow glory!
It was popular with fans, selling out (it was only made in a single batch, surely?) when it went on display at the recent Comiket in Tokyo, priced ¥100,000 ...
Porn actor Shimiken opens “poo curry” restaurant
August 24, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
The fact that Shimiken, Japan's currently most prolific male adult performer, has opened a restaurant is news-worthy in its own right.
That he has opened a curry restaurant that serves "poo" curry makes our jaws drop. WTF?!
Well, Shimiken (Ken Shimizu) is the owner, so don't expect him to be behind the pots and pans (he's too busy screwing dozens of women a week).
He's now opened Curry Shop Shimizu in a residential district of Setagaya in Tokyo, so we can't say how crowded it's going to be, even regardless of the menu.
Shimiken is famed for lamenting the lack of male porn ...
Cyberjapan Dancers: Japan’s sexiest go-go dancers
August 23, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
There's sexy and then there's so sexy you can't control yourself.
We remember when we went to the Fetish Fest and saw gyaru idol non up-close. We almost exploded in our pants.
This is an example of something we are almost glad we are only experiencing online.
If we had seen the Cyberjapan Dancers in person, we might have died from lustful yearnings.
The CYBERJAPAN DANCERS are go-go dancers and they appeared at the Don Quijote in, of all the random places in Japan, student district Takadanobaba in Tokyo to launch a new exercise CD and DVD.
It's called, very appropriately, ...
