They say that half the Japanese web is cats and the other half is food. That's false: a third is cats, a third is food and the last third is various shades of porn and adult content. So when you combine these elements, you get a recipe for a hit online or offline. For example, nyotaimori or the "condom cookbook" we featured back in 2014. Now along comes "Painyan", a new 96-page photo book by Yuki Aoyama released on May 31st. Regular readers will recall that Aoyama is the photographer with something of an obsession with schoolgirls. This time Aoyama has turned his lens away from ...

The question of Japanese bush is one that preoccupies much of our waking life. Too much or too little? For women who obsess about shaving almost every follicle elsewhere on the slender bodies, the bush is often an oasis of relatively unkempt hirsute charm: allowed to bloom and grow. It's thus sometimes a shock (pleasant or not) to encounter women who trim, wax or fully shave down there (paipan), even though this is very common elsewhere in the world. But what about the guys? Panasonic is suggesting that more and more men in Japan are seriously grooming their bodies, including ...

If this is what the ongoing cleaning-up of Shinjuku's notorious red-light district means, then bring it on. The AV and gravure idols magazine Weekly Playboy is opening a bar in Kabukicho from June 10. Every night, different gravure models will be serving drinks at Shupure Sakaba (Weekly Playboy Bar) to a few very lucky customers. This is an exclusive VIP bar with just five seats per session and a limit of only three seatings per night. Needless to say, reservations are a must and there is a hefty cover charge of ¥10,000 for one hour and a four-course meal (drinks and food not in the ...

Here it is, folks. The moment we've been waiting for these past weeks. OK, perhaps you guys weren't as excited but this is the world we inhabit. Former gravure and nude mode Miu Nakamura's AV debut is out and the first preview images are available. The slinky seductress with a tight body and flat chest to die for is here in all her fully glory. We've seen it before, thanks to her frequent hair nude full-frontal photo shoots. But this is the next step up. It doesn't get any more graphic than this. "Fade In" is released on the Muteki label, which specializes in idols and celebrities ...

Tenga has never been satisfied just with making amazing adult toys. As its past endeavors with advertising contests, nightclub events and art exhibitions show, it is always keen to break out of the mold of "just" designer masturbation. Its latest project is a special figurine made in collaboration with the manga artist Man Gataro, whose pen name is a pun on manko, or pussy (in Japanese, a star symbol is used between the hiragana for "man" and the kanji for "ga" in the same playful way that symbols like #$@&%* are used to mask expletives in English). The unique-looking 11cm figurine, ...

After Momona Kito (Yua Mikami) and Rina Nakanishi, Risa Naruse, Eri Takamatsu, and Rumi Yonezawa, now comes another AKB-linked music idol's porn debut. 21-year-old Risako Okada, a former member of NMB48 (the Osaka sister group of AKB48), is set to release her first porn on the Muteki label, which specializes in performers switching from mainstream entertainment to AV. She has launched her new career with a hair nude full-frontal photo shoot, which would be noteworthy in and of itself, though it also whets our appetites for the AV release coming from Muteki ...

The Back Spirit Male Body Onahole is a Japanese masturbator toy with an anal-type hole paired with perfectly toned muscular abs and a cute pair of balls. If you're wondering where the cock is, then use yours! As Kanojo Toys say, "after lubing up and pushing your member inside, you'll feel the super strong squeeze of the Back Spirit's sphincter. As the walls entangle your cock from all sides, rotate and twist the toy for even more stimulation. Now that certainly makes a welcome change from the usual and ubiquitous stretchy onahole toy design. Over the years we've ...

Torture Garden Japan is back this summer for another bonanza of BDSM wonder. The premier mainstream event for bondage fans in Japan, it's also the only officially licensed offshoot of London’s original Torture Garden, the world's leading fetish club. It has been happening in Tokyo since 2001 and often holds events more than once a year, though the summer one is the highlight of the calendar. We blogged about the 2016 summer ball. Tickets to the event on June 10th at XEX Nihonbashi cost ¥6,000 and doors open at 10pm. Performers included Miss Miranda from the United States, ...

Recently it was "Kiss Day" in Japan. Given how little you see kissing in public here, perhaps it's pointless to have a designated day like that. That being said, apparently Japanese girls like kissing. In fact, 79.5% of respondents to a (somewhat bizarre) survey said they did, so it's safe to presume your date would like a smooch. It's just all about when and where. 51.8% of women said they had kissed someone they weren't dating (yet), proving it pays at least some of the time to lunge at a club or bar. (Curiously, the number was lower for guys: 58% of them said they had never ...

We first encountered the gyaru ero-cosplayer and model non (also known as Nonsummerjack) when we visited Fetish Fes 2015. Frankly she was so hot (and scantily clad) that we basically creamed in our pants. She was lying on a bed, charging a few coins for the chance to take a few photos. Since then we have occasionally followed her latest shoots and so on. All for purely professional reasons, of course! We are late with this -- it was an entry in our ever-growing backlog of future blog posts -- but back in April she did something pretty cool with the lower half of her body. Wait, stop ...
