Yoo Ra-seong is not one of the most famous Korean actresses but she has made a big splash in "Affair" (Mil-ae), released in 2014. The erotic film is about a torrid love affair -- no surprise! -- between a curator and photographer. Yoo Ra-seong also made headlines just before the film got its July release in Korea, when she appeared in a see-through black dress at the 18th Puchon International Film Festival. As we've blogged about before, Korean actresses have scandalized the film festival circuit with their dresses that leave little to the imagination. First scene is a ...

Japan is a country where the Kanamara penis festival (held yesterday) is fine but the depiction of the female genitalia is not. The two arrests of Rokudenashiko (Megumi Igarashi) have caused a furore around the world -- to be accurate, mostly around the world, not in Japan. The overseas press is much more interested in the tale of Igarashi and her arrests for distributing "obscene" materials. Igarashi calls herself a "vagina artist". Her artist name means “Good-For-Nothing Girl” and she has proved up to the image, not least in the eyes of the vice squad. Her "art of the ...

It is said that half of all sex in Japan happens in a love hotel. 1% of the population uses a love hotel on any single day; something like 1,370,000 couples. A large proportion of the nation's new babies are conceived in a love hotel. There are 500 million visits a year. Room occupancy is 600-700% in some busy establishments -- 78.8 stays per room per month! The love hotel industry has an annual turnover of ¥4 trillion yen, which is around four times the operating profits of Toyota and double the anime industry. And yet it's cars and anime that the government wants to push as the face ...

Japan's top cosplayer, Iiniku Ushijima, is set to make her JAV porn debut at long last. Sadly not. This was an April Fools' Day joke by a Japanese porn label. A million cocks sprung up when Prestige made the "announcement"... on April 1st. No, Japan's slinkiest cosplay idol is not switching over to the porn industry (yet). It wasn't the only adult-themed April Fools' Day prank, though. Feast, the lingerie line for A-cup Japanese girls designed by the cute Gomi Hayakawa, suddenly had a male spinoff. Hayakawa announced Beast, apparently her new brand of male lingerie, ...

Another week, another sex-themed article about Japan gets written and hawked around. AFP has written an article about Japan's "silver porn" industry and the wire service has sold it to countless other publications around the world. We've seen these pieces before, such as in The Guardian. And of course, it's hardly news. There has been a vibrant silver porn for a long time, featuring a host of stars like Yumi Kazama and Shigeo Tokuda. And it's not just performers: the over-sixty crowd is very active in watching porn, frequenting love hotels, and also visiting soaplands and ...

Our immaculate specimen this week is Yuno Akuzawa. Born in May 1990 in Fukuoka Prefecture, Yuno likes cooking and yoga. She is a nice 174cm in height, which makes for a fine, long figure... and wonderful legs. Of course, all that height also means a nice bust too. Here she is in a recent shoot for Playboy March 2015 and elsewhere. A future star of the gravure scene, we ...

Make Room (Make-Up Room) is a new drama film about a fascinating topic: the people who do the make-up for porn stars. It's written and directed by Kei Morikawa, and stars Aki Morita as the titular make-up artist, as well as three actual porn stars: Riri Kuribayashi, Beni Ito, Nanami Kawakami. Originally a play by Morikawa, it promises to show the behind-the-scenes of the adult video industry. It gets a limited release in Japan in May. It reminds us of an interview we once read with a man claiming to have worked for a while as a hair and make-up artist for porn stars in Japan, ...

We've seen lots of paizuri (titty fucking) toys in our time. This fantasy is certainly a hard one (no pun intended) to realize in Japan -- land of the flat chest -- unless you are lucky enough to have bakunyuu "explosive bust" Hitomi Tanaka or Rara Anzai for your bedroom partner. So in lieu of trying it with a real partner, Japanese guys make do with these kinds of toys. Many are just as you'd expect -- busts that you can squeeze around your member while you slide in and out. Often they have nice nubbing and so on between the breasts to heighten the experience. The Love Titty ...

The Japan Times published a recent article about the fascinating -- and inspiring -- tale of Rie Saito. Saito, who lost her hearing at age 1, plans to run in the April 26 election in Tokyo’s Kita Ward Assembly as a Nippon wo Genki ni Suru Kai (Party to Revitalize Japan) candidate. A best-selling author who was once the No. 1 hostess at a club in Tokyo’s Ginza district, Saito was known as the hitsudan hostess who used writing to communicate with her customers. So this hottie would use paper to keep her patrons happy in Ginza and encourage them to buy her drinks. Being a ...

Porn star Saki Otsuka turned herself into a photographer a little while ago now when she released her photography book "Mitsubai nude" in 2012. Since then she's produced quite an impressive body of work. Once again working with ERECT magazine, the occasional publication with the best name in the world, Saki Otsuka has created "MEME", a touring exhibition of her work taking in Fukuoka, Osaka and Tokyo. It's perhaps no surprise that Saki isn't shooting pictures of flowers or pretty landscapes. Her photography is dark and focuses a lot on naked flesh, including her own, it seems. The ...
