This week we have opted for a more overtly sexy lady than the usual Gravure idol -- and one who is not shy to take everything off!
Born in 1991, Rio Matsushita has gradually upgraded the level of sexiness for her photo shoots until she went all out for a full hair nude session. And boy are we glad she ...
Tenga, Japan's designer line of sex aids, has released a new onacup in its bestselling range of masturbation tubes. The Tenga Double Hole Onacup U.S. continues its nod towards guys in other countries who are larger endowed than local customers by being designed to accommodate "ultra size" members.
Tenga has been making some interesting steps sideways recently. That sounds like damning with faint praise but we mean that for its newest releases it has been returning to its early successes to create interesting updates on past hits.
And so we had the Pocket Tenga, a disposable ...
Mere days after Yuko Obuchi, the hottest woman in the Japanese Cabinet (okay, the only senior politico in Japan even remotely attractive, tended her resignation from the post of METI head, now comes another scandal perhaps with the potential to sink another powerful minister in the government.
Obuchi's replacement, Yoichi Miyazawa, spent some of his "expenses" in an "SM Bar" in Hiroshima City, it has emerged. The money was spent in the BDSM club in September 2010 but has only emerged today with a political expenses report, which recorded a bill for ¥18,230 (around $200) for a session at ...
A new sub-genre is born: Japanese rope bondage onahole masturbator sleeves are officially now a thing.
First we had the Kanojo Toys-designed sex toy, the Chokyo Shojo Bondage Virgin Manami Sujiman, which borrowed the kinkiness of a Japanese bondage slave and created a successful masturbator out of it.
Now comes another great example, the very aptly named Shibari Kinbaku Fetish Onahole.
Shibari, also known as kinbaku, is one of the most famous and respected elements of the Japanese erotic overseas.
We can see this new onahole being very popular then as it plays into the ...
What a waste?! I hope they lock this guy up!
Sadly, police say they are unlikely to charge Hideaki Adachi, who was discovered dumping waste in a public park in Osaka City. This in itself is an offense but it's what he was dumping that has made the headlines: porn. Lots and lots of porn.
Adachi disposed of almost a quarter of a ton of pornography. After he was caught in the act, he claimed the stash was a friend's and he was getting rid of it.
How much is a quarter of a ton of porn? Apparently it's 17 sacks -- containing films, magazines, and 500 VHS video tapes (remember those?). He ...
The Japan Society of Sexual Science has completed a large survey of sexual habits among middle-aged and elderly couples, investigating Japan's chronic issue of "sexlessness".
Surveying sexual activity among 1,162 middle-aged and older men and women, the results show intriguing trends for the reality of Japanese relationships.
The survey was conducted between January 2011 and December 2012, with men and women living in the Kanto region (which includes Tokyo, Yokohama, Saitama, Chiba etc.) aged between 40 and 79. The average age of male respondents was 59.5 and for women it was ...
We saw an interesting story first shared on Tokyo Reporter, which appeals to our sense of the fetishistic.
Tokyo cops have busted a special parlor in Takadonobaba, near Shinjuku, where male customers could go to smell Japanese schoolgirls in private rooms.
The manager, one Takanori Izuchi, was a mere 33 years old but he was boldly running the aptly-named Pure Doll JK Community near the JR Station on the Yamanote Line. It's not the smell fetish per se that's the issue here. Izuchi and another employee were arrested for hiring actual teenagers to let male patrons sniff them in their ...
We already know that there's a strong subculture in Japan for cross-dressing -- and one which doesn't fit easily into any western ideas of gay culture -- but here's something new.
Metrosexual Japanese men worried about their nipples showing through t-shirts may be turning to these nipple stickers to cover up.
There are several products out there on the market, it seems. The "Nipple Shields" by Tex Mex are marketed as "fashion help for men", especially young high-fliers in the business world who don't want their muscular chests with pokey nipples showing through their tight white ...
That's the question that Time Out Tokyo asked its readers online back in August.
Unfortunately we have no idea how many people answered and what proportion were looking at its Japanese website or English one -- so this could in fact just be a handful of people's preferences.
Still, beggars can't be choosers and in the absence of another similar survey, we were amused to look at the results.
The biggest surprise is the main question about favorite position.
Doggy-style won, followed by cowgirl. While most people probably pretend in a survey to be more adventurous than they are and are ...
Okay, we've very late with this -- a quick search reveals people were talking about this back in 2012! But for some reason we've only just found out about it and it's so cool, we wanted to blog it now, two years after everyone else.
Sexual harassment is a serious issue in Japan -- especially in the workplace. The problem is so ingrained now some women have given up on finding a solution.
But Etsuko Ichihara and Taiki Watai's attitudes towards sexual harassment is certainly novel, even if we're not sure if it makes it better or worse.
They take that most phallic of Japanese root ...
