The ever-reliable and diligent fintan (pinakotheca) has done it again.
He assiduously seeks out old erotic art and photography books, buys them, scans them, resells the books, and then shares select highlights online. Whether due to personal preference or the quality of the material, he frequently features Japanese publications.
After our previous showcase of some of these last month, we cannot resist another set of images from obscure 1980s Japanese voyeur photography books and magazines.
If you're into voyeur fetish stuff or even a practicing Peeping Tom, this is surely pure catnip. ...
These are some remarkable erotic images from Peep Focus and Peep Document, two 1980s voyeuristic photography magazines from Japan.
The fetish images were shared by fintan (pinakotheca), who nobly finds old erotic art and photography books, scans, resells the books, and then shares highlights online. He often features Japanese publications.
He also shared scans from an incredible 1990 photo book called Binding Force: Japan’s First Facial Restraint Photo Book, which we wrote about in March.
The most famous Japanese photographer associated with voyeurism is Kohei Yoshiyuki, whose 19702 ...
On May 17, Sapporo Higashi Police Station arrested a 34-year-old company employee from Higashi Ward of Sapporo on suspicion of setting up a phone in his workplace's restroom and then photographing the genitals of a woman in her thirties at around 6 p.m. on May 16.
The incident came to light after the woman came to the police station at around 10:30 p.m. on May 16, reporting that she had been photographed secretly in the company restroom. It is not clear from media reports how she knew but she presumably found the phone, which must have been a chilling experience to say the least.
The man ...
We frequently report on cases of men sneaking into schools and other places to steal underwear or watch women. The most recent was the man who ended up seriously injuring himself after he attempted to climb down from a rope to spy on residents of an apartment building.
But what's rarer, or seems to get reported more rarely, are men who do these things to spy on other guys.
Well, here's a recent case that might somewhat redress the balance.
A German engineer, Ulrich Distelhorst (if we are transliterating the katakana correctly), was arrested by police for sneaking into the changing room of ...
When someone is hurt, you should always help them out, right? It's a universal human law.
But not everyone who is hurt is 100% a victim, as this cautionary tale reveals.
A man fell down onto an apartment balcony, seriously injuring himself. His bloody body was found on the ground by a resident. He had fallen several floors while trying to lower himself from the roof with a rope.
Though it happened back in May, the incident was only reported in the Japanese media last week. This is because he has now been referred to the prosecutors following his physical recovery.
Wearing tabi shoes, ...
Just when you thought it was safe to walk by a drain in a skirt, the drain pervert is back!
If you live in Kobe, be sure to check the drains before walking over them.
Police in the West Japan city have arrested the 36-year-old Yasuomi Hirai for setting up a phone in a roadside drain in order to take videos of schoolgirls.
He was caught when the camera was filming an 18-year-old school student at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon on September 8. And he was found out because the girl was a Good Samaritan. She noticed the phone in the drain and took it to a police substation, believing it was ...
It has long been common to see claims that Japan's age of consent was just 13, which would lead to lazy generalizations that this was why there was so much loli porn.
Of course, in practice, this was never true: local ordinances against lewd actors with minors meant the actual age of consent was typically 18 and on par with (if not higher than) most other countries in the Global North.
It was true, though, that the national age of consent was 13, unchanged since 1907. (For context, age of consent is 14 in Germany, Italy, and China, and 15 in France.)
This has now changed after lawmakers ...
The flight attendant is, of course, a much-fetishized occupation. They rank highly among male fantasies, whether that's joining the mile high club mid-flight while receiving some extra service, or having a liaison at an airport hotel during a stop between flights. Themed costumes are one way to sate your appetite for flight attendant sex role plays (and if you're alone, how about a flight attendant pocket pussy?).
Other guys adopt a different approach, it seems.
According to a report from the Kyodo news agency, around 70% of Japanese flight attendants say people have taken photos of them ...
There are peeping Toms and then there are peeping Toms. And these guys didn't do things by half measures.
Shizuoka police have arrested a gang of peeping Toms who have been active for 30 years -- yes, three whole decades! The 13 voyeurs, including the 50-year-old leader, were apprehended in recent months, while a further three others connecting to the filming (including a doctor) have now been referred to the prosecutors.
Active since he was 20, the leader alone claims to have filmed over 10,000 people without consent at locations all around Japan (with the exception, for some reason, of ...
This is the grim reality for Comiket if you are a cosplayer. Sure, if you're a popular cosplayer like Enako, no doubt you get your own team of staff to help manage the crowds, but for the amateurs and the small fry out there -- of which they are many -- you are nothing more than a toy or meat to be haggled over, parsed, and lensed by the snapping cameras of hordes of male visitors. And all at ultra-close proximity.
These two pictures widely shared online have once again revealed this situation, this time at Comiket 97 held at the end of December at 2019.
As is clearly visible, the men are ...
