It's a subject we don't talk much about on these digital pages but there's no need to be shy about it. We all like to watch shemale porn, right? Known as newhalf in Japan, there's plenty of locally produced porn that is available online. Some of our favorites include Beni Sisaki and Miran. Naturally, the Japanese adult toy market has responded to this need with themed sex toys. Also naturally, being Japanese, some of the lines are more ambiguous here. Is this newhalf/shemale fetish? Or more like futanari (an actual woman who happens to have a penis)? A femboy or shotacon fantasy? It's all ...

To be honest, writing this makes us feel old but Tama Toys has now been around for 10 years. Known for its awesome box art, the brand by TMA has built up an incredible lineup of onaholes, otoko no ko crossdresser costumes, smell sprays, dakimakura hug pillow covers, and other toys for a whole decade. To celebrate, it has released a series of anniversary box sets with random selections of its wares. All the value packs have limited availability, so you'll have to hurry if you want to get your hands on them. The most generous and exciting pack is the Tama Toys 10th Anniversary Happy Box ...

2021 has got off to a striking start in the Japanese adult toys world with the release of the Otokonoko DX Male Crossdresser Onahole, an anime trap male daughter torso masturbator. Inspired by Japanese otoko no ko "male daughter" crossdressers (pre-op transgender women), who are often so convincing in anime and manga that they are often mistaken for "real" girls, the hefty toy is essentially an anal hole and cock dildo in one -- thus answering all your shotacon and trap fantasies in one. The awesome idol box art character is by maruku, who is known for his illustrations for the bestselling ...

At this time of year, Japanese adult makers and brands like to release "lucky boxes" and similar bundles containing random packs of toys. This is in imitation of the more general Japanese retail custom of fukubukuro, or lucky bags. It means you can get some really good deals, as long as you don't mind not knowing the exact items you will get (although this is also fun and exciting -- restoring the mystery of Christmas before people started to make distributing gift lists). We have been looking at a few examples this year and the Tama Toys Otoko no Ko Crossdresser Costumes Lucky Box caught ...

When it comes to gender, Japan does things differently. That guy may well be a girl, and that girl may well be a guy. Androgyny is a firmly established aspect of beauty and fashion. Indeterminate gender is sexy and alluring. Deception, the other hand, is just plain annoying. Cosplayer Rei Dunois is known for a penchant for Evangelion and MCU, and for incredible character transformations. He has built up a significant fanbase -- to the tune of over 60,000 followers on social media. We write "he" because we now know the truth, though you would be forgiven for misunderstanding if you saw ...

Seeing is believing -- or is it? This makeup video tutorial shows that there really is more to things than meets the eye... At least, when that eye is restricted to a YouTube video. A middle-aged (or self-professed middle-aged-looking) man who goes by the online name of Himeni has revealed not only his extraordinary makeup skills but also how easy it is to be deceived by visuals alone. In the much-shared video, he showcases his cosmetic talents and goes from ordinary guy to cute young Japanese woman, just like the ones you might see on the streets of Harajuku or Ikebukuro in their ...

The Kinoko Musume Cock Onahole replicates the fantasy of sliding into the penis of an otoko no ko -- a Japanese male casual cosplay crossdresser, like josou but not fully transgender per se like newhalf or shemale. Now that the bestselling Punyo in the Chinpo Urethra Penetration Masturbator is sadly sold out, this is a great substitute pee hole sex toy. The exterior of the Kinoko Musume Cock Onahole by Peach Toys is crafted as a realistic glans and cock shaft, complemented by a tight tunnel bristling with lines and ribs that stimulate. Besides its original design and concept, the "cock ...

Sometimes Japan can seem behind the times. While the American entertainment world is finally waking up to the endemic nature of the casting couch with a resulting scandal that may continue in waves for a long time, there seems to be (as far as we know) zero serious discussion of the situation in Japan. The casting couch (makura eigyo) is a prevalent problem that music idols, gravure idols, models and actresses all have to deal with. Likewise, though the last couple of years have seen the global profile of trans rights raised immensely, no similar movement has taken shape in Japan. Sure, ...

What is it about (certain) Japanese guys that seemingly makes them want to dress up as girls at any opportunity? The music video for Gen Hoshino's latest single, Family Song, casts "him" in drag while only the other day we blogged about the deceptively feminine charms of one male high schooler? Okay, Kabuki, lack of Victorian-era binaries, yada yada. Let's not try to come up with an anthropological mumbo jumbo answer for this. But it begs the question: are we witnessing an exciting surge in agender identity in Japan? From clothes to toilets, genderlessness is definitely growing in ...
