Economic conditions can have unexpected results. Any nighttime wanderer up Shibuya's Dogenzaka, passing the eateries, convenience stores and family restaurants, may have been approached by woman -- not usually the youngest -- asking if they want a "massage". Of course, this actually means a handjob or blow job, or maybe even full service. They hang around in small groups; sometimes a sleazy pimp is nearby. The fact that they are even asking white foreigners shows that the recession is taking its toll. And I've always loved that the police station is in full sight and no one does a ...

They say that too much gaming is bad for you and there could be some truth to that. At least, if you are using a gaming site for rather different purposes to winning the next level on a beat 'em up. Kanagawa police have arrested Masahiro Odakura, 24, on charges of child prostitution. Odakura worked as a press operator in 'burbs land, Saitama. Perhaps eager to escape the boredom of arguably Japan's dullest prefecture, he allegedly in June he had sex with a high school girl -- at the time a mere, ripe 16 -- in a love hotel. He paid the lady 10,000 yen, or around $130. Here's the ...

Recently mixi (the Japanese equivalent of Facebook) have released what Facebook users have taken for granted, an email search function to find friends. But as many Japanese are not as internet savvy as the rest of the world, Tantei File reports that a brothel regular ruined paid sex for many others by exchanging email addresses with a whore. A man who used the moniker Kimura, was making his monthly visit to a Shibuya brothel and while taking a shower his regular working girl accidentally called him by his real name. Evidently horrified to hear his real name in a place where no one is ...

We have covered several different kinds of vending machines here at Tokyo Kinky before such as the porn vending machine out in the sticks and the vending machine with chilled panties over in Akihabara. And now we present you with the prostitute vending machine. Just pop in your coin and out comes the girl... So I know a lot of you are asking yourselves, "Is this a joke?" The short answer is... yes. The long answer asks you to wait until the economy gets worse or until cyborg technology gets a little better. I know I'll be saving my ¥100 coins for the occasion either ...

There's no justice! How come there are brothels all over the country, filled with Japanese and Chinese girls, but the police only choose to shut down one that happens to be near Yokosuka base? Of course it is frequented by US military servicemen...Coincidence? I think not! [Pic source: Yomiuri] Hypocrisy, we salute ...

Whales -- or whale flesh -- appear to be worth more than just money! It has been alleged that Japan bought IWC votes through showing some poorer countries' members a good time with "girls". The International Whaling Commission is holding a conference from today in Morocco where Japan wants to get approval to do more whaling. But, so some papers are claiming, a host of developing nations have allegedly been treated to aid grants by Japan in exchange for pro-whaling votes. Some of the favors dished out include call girls and prostitutes! Lucky recipients of this "aid" include St ...

Tokyo's red light district of Kabukicho is renowned as being the hub of sin and vice in heart of Shinjuku. It's not the only area of course, but it does have a very large concentration of host and hostess clubs, bars, restaurants, soaplands (brothels), and lots of fun-loving crowds of men and women out for a good time. Setting foot in this area can be intimidating for foreign visitors. Aside from the fact that foreigners are subtly prohibited from entering the more fun places, the types of folks in Kabukicho are very different from what you'll find in Ginza, Shibuya, and other ...
