At Tokyo Kinky, we hope we don't moralize. We like to stay as open as possible, even -- and perhaps especially -- when the tastes do not match our own. And given the kind of content we share, we are hardly qualified to get on a high horse and start preaching to the masses. As such, it is with a touch of bemusement that we are watching a dispute unfold, first on Twitter and now in the mainstream media. An article titled "I am not alone -- we are all alone: Using masturbation as an ethnographic method in research on shota subculture in Japan" appeared in the respected academic journal ...

The title for Oyako to shimai o oishiku itadaku 15 no houhou translates literally as "15 ways to deliciously eat mothers-and-daughters and sisters". What the heck does that mean?

A 29-year-old public servant in Tokyo's Adachi ward was arrested on February 17th for attempting to kidnap a young girl. Kentaro Makino previously went into the grounds of an Edogawa ward condo in July last year. He waited there for kids coming home from school. Soon enough a 10-year-old elementary school student arrived, who he threatened with a knife and told her he'd bring her home again as long as she kept quiet. He then put handcuffs on her and put her into a large boston bag. However, the girl put up a fight and screamed her lungs out, so a frightened Makino dropped his spare ...
