Female athletes will receive better protection against voyeuristic photography while competing, the Japanese Olympic Committee has said. Working in partnership with the Japan Sport Association and All Japan High School Athletic Federation, the JOC is preparing concrete steps to prevent exploitative photos being taken and shared of athletes.
Dressed in clothing designed to help them do their best in their competition, female sports athletes are easy prey for snappers, who can use a lens to zoom in on breasts and buttocks. Such images may then be shared online with offensive captions.
This is ...
For years it has been notoriously difficult to get hold of: the morning-after pill.
In Japan, for a woman to receive emergency contraception, she has to go to a doctor and get a prescription. And it's expensive, too.
But women have been campaigning for years to remove the barriers blocking easy access to the morning-after pill, which is surely one of the reasons for so many shotgun weddings in Japan (including among many prominent celebrities). The current system is condemned as shaming and discriminatory, and is particularly a problem for victims of sexual assault, whose treatment by ...
Top Japanese porn producer Soft on Demand has opened its mini theme park complex in Kabukicho, Tokyo, which, despite recent gentrification, remains one of the centers of the adult and sex industry.
As previously reported, SOD Land is five floors devoted to porn. Visitors can get food and drink served by actual adult video stars or sex workers in several different types of establishments.
Here are some pictures from when the site opened to the public on October 10. People were lining to get in, despite the pre-typhoon rainy weather.
The "silent bar" on the top floor is the ...
We all know that smell fetish is big in Japan, available in everything from used panties to special aroma lubricants and sprays.
But with a few notable exceptions, the market is dominated by female smells aimed at men.
What about if you want a male fragrance to liven up your collection, either for solo play or sessions with a lover?
For those times, the Japanese adult industry has once again stepped up to the challenge with this Men's Armpit Smell Tank Top.
The title says it: this is a male undershirt scented with replica body odor. Pull it out, give it a sniff, and enjoy the ...
They say that television is fake and this story may not convince you otherwise.
Netizens have exposed the beautiful woman who is supposedly an instructor at the Uzumasa Driving School in Kyoto as a gravure model.
Featured on a Japanese TV show as Aimi Yoshikawa (吉川愛未, not to be confused with Aimi Yoshikawa 吉川あいみ, the retired porn star), ostensibly because the driving school is covered by the government incentives aimed at encouraging domestic trips, this Aimi was, in fact, none other than Aimi (あいみ), a mononymous gradol much-admired for her svelte ...
Since apparently no one in Japan is getting married, having kids, or even having sex -- if you believe the media headlines -- perhaps we should take note of this cautionary tale of a woman who wanted to produce offspring without the customary hassle of finding a willing or capable partner.
Starting a family is easy with a sperm donor, right?
But what if you don't want to go through an expensive service or institution? Social media can help you out, right?
Well, that's what one woman in her thirties thought, reports the Asahi.
She searched Twitter for potential sperm donors and found a man ...
Panchira fans will be disappointed with the new TV adaptation of Wandering Witch -- The Journey of Elaina.
Based on the popular light novel series and its manga version, the anime is one of the highlights of the fall TV season in Japan. But its original creator wants to keep it clean and accessible to a range of age groups.
And this means no panty shots.
In an interview with anime magazine Newtype, Jougi Shiraishi talked about the conditions he set for the anime production.
"The only request I made was 'Please do not, under any circumstances, show [the characters'] underwear.' I'd like ...
Talk about party poopers.
The cops in Osaka have arrested a 62-year-old man for violations of prostitution laws after they found seven men and women naked in his home.
On the night of October 3, as widely reported in the Japanese media, police raided his home, where the man has been running an orgy party service for years.
The five men (aged between their thirties and fifties) and two women (in their thirties) were arrested for indecent exposure, though later released. No charges were reported against them.
The organizer, Yoshihiro Murakami, admits to the allegations against him. Men paid ...
A self-professed 18-year-old Japanese female high school student (known as JK in Japanese) has posted a series of nude selfies in which she reveals her slim, youthful body to the world.
Her slender frame and hinnyu-style modest bust are a delight, as are her angular facial features and glasses that suggest a cheeky yet intelligent personality.
Though she uses some stickers and emoji to hide her face in certain images, in others she is apparently more than happy to show us everything. And we mean pretty much everything: she is fully shaved (paipan) between her legs. Yes, she even spreads ...
Almost anyone who has watched a fair amount of Japanese porn will have stumbled upon a particular swimming pool, known simply as "that pool" (rei no pool). It is a certain location that for various reasons -- not least aesthetic ones -- became a go-to choice for porn producers from the 2000s.
The pool was so famous that it got its own tribute book, edited by a "research group" dedicated to the site and published in 2013.
If you like your porn wet and with a swimwear fetish, then you will love the productions that use the pool location.
It is, however, not a regular pool but one that is ...
