We love Tsubomi. The cute JAV star, recently pregnant, has won legions of fans in Japan and rightfully so. A documentary on the new Vice Japan channel looks at Tsubomi. It's in Japanese only but turn on the closed captions for English subtitles. A highlight is at the start when she says she thinks Japanese people are more secretive when it comes to sex. It doesn't go into any context or explore anything properly, just following Tsubomi around Akihabara as she looks at costumes and meets a few fans. There are some short clips from movie shoots. There is quite a funny ...

Japanese porn star Sola Aoi (aka Sora Aoi) is immensely popular in China but her latest attempt to flog her titillating DVDs has backfired with the establishment. She has now indulged in some calligraphy in the country, though it has been criticized as "unskilled" by traditionalists. That hasn't stopped it from being auctioned for $95,000! Sola wrote eight Kanji characters at a theme park in Ningbo, which were sold this month. However, the media has tried to use the opportunity to criticize this "foreign" invader of the flesh. "The style of calligraphy is childish, ...

When you've got something good, hold onto it, as the saying goes. Well, some people have taken that literally when it comes to women. In Cardboard Box Confinement Girl, a man keeps a girl in his house as a sex slave and literally makes her sleep in his closet in a cardboard box. There are so-called freeter Japanese "in-between" workers and other working poor who are forced to live and sleep in box flats so tiny we would call them cages or closets. If they're lucky they can live in an internet cafe and get to sleep at one of the computer booths. Well, I guess this girl is the ...

It pays to be careless sometimes, it seems. For a Japanese porn star, despite all those nakadashi (creampie) scenes, you would think that getting pregnant was the thing they fear most. It signals if not the end of their career, at least a large blimp where they cannot work. But not if you are as cute as the cosplayer JAV porn star Tsubomi, whose latest film is simply called "Tsubomi Pregnant." We think the main point of the film is thus pretty obvious. Of course, there are lots of pregnant porn films already and even pregnant women sex shops for people with lactating breasts ...

Former sweet and innocent Gravure idol Risa (aka Lisa) Goto has graduated to the big time at last. After a career that began with drink commercials when still a teenager, Risa has since then had an up-and-down professional life, with bits of acting and prematurely retiring at least once. So far that most spectacular thing was the "hair nude" shoot she did in 2012. This alone raised many an eyebrow for the former cute girl-next-door idol's fans (and no doubt raised a few other body parts as well). We love the mole on her body, just above her bush. Now she's thrown in her towel on the ...

Never, never let it be said that pornography isn't cultural. Far from it. JAV is high art! We've known this for years and now there can be no denying it with the Naked Sex Art Museum, which we have been "visiting" recently. The Soft on Demand (SOD) title features Anri Suzuki, Ryo Akanishi, Satsuki Kirishima and Reira Serikawa in a series of scenes that recreate famous paintings... in the most artistic way possible. The cover of course is Sandro Botticelli's Venus. Another major obvious one is Manet's "The Luncheon on the Grass". The original painting in itself ...

Three. Two. One. Lift off! No, you haven't seen it all. If you think you have, you need to stay up to date with the new JAV Japanese porn releases. Pussy Rocket Syringe Pump Challenge is an example of "injection bondage" in which five amateurs are tied up in a kind of barn and then have a "rocket" stuck up their vaginas, pumping them with spunk and other liquids. The aim, apparently, is not vivisection but to see how much the ladies can "take" -- and whether the stuff will eventually spew out of their mouths or not. There is almost three hours of this to... what, endure? ...

Okay, so that's a provocative question but these are provocative films. The Naked Continent is a series of Japanese porn films that feature JAV stars heading to Africa ("the dark continent") to meet the natives and go savage. A lot is made of the contrast between the pale, innocent-looking Japanese girl and the dark tribesmen and women she meets. There are several films in the series, each starring a different girl. So far stars have included Yui Takashiro, Yuka Osawa and more. Naturally she gets very acquainted with the men, discovering an inner, feral sexuality through ...

We've been "investigating" another fab genre of Japanese pornography a lot recently. Homeless porn. Back in 2011 we saw our first title, where a young J-girl is homeless in L.A. and has to sleep with tramps to get a place to stay. But there are many, many more. Some take the common "girl-in-peril" motif and have the young lady being forced to undergo something that is "dirty" or humiliating, or an incredible challenge. Often the sex is semi-public, watched by all the other homeless guys in the community. In general, this "humiliation" style is a frequent style in many Japanese JAV ...

Despite being the biggest producer of Japanese porn in the land, Soft on Demand (SOD) still manages to keep surprising audiences. No Hollywood-style reliance on tired formats for SOD! Here's one we're loving at the moment. It uses that trope found common to a lot of Japanese kikaku porn (literally "project films", features that focus on an unusual setting and situation rather than a star), the countryside. Deep in the rural hinterland, there is a horse stables and racecourse where they train and keep mares and stallions. Only these are not ordinary horses. No, in Human ...
