Remember how we posted a few weeks back about the awesome Orient Industry love doll photo contest? In the competition, the proud owners of Japan's best high-grade silicone sex dolls were asked to take loving portraits of their companions and submit them to the judges. Well, the winners have been announced. The overall winner is SAKITAN for his culinary-themed image of a faithful doll in the kitchen, temptingly holding out a cherry... Here are some of the other runners up... The entrants ranged from younger guys (people used pseudonyms so I guess in theory there ...

Regular readers will know how we adore Japanese sex dolls, aka "real love dolls", especially the luxury models made by Orient Industry, such as the now classic Candy Girl series. Ten years ago it was completely different really, but the web has helped legitimize the erotic art of 100% silicone love dolls. We wanted to do a little round-up of all the videos and clips there are available for easy viewing... And if you want the even better Japanese thing, the Orient Doll love dolls made from high-grade silicone? Check these clips out! Candy Girls have since given way to other ...

Dekunoboo make Japan's best foam sex dolls (aka "plush dolls") and a new model, the aptly named Ecstasy Body, on offer to international customers is for people who don't want the fuss of heads and wigs -- and all the maintenance they require. Instead the Ecstasy Body "just" provides you with a gorgeously rendered physique and lets you deal with it in your own way. Check out the large bust, beautifully curved butt and slender waist. There are many benefits to plush dolls, as opposed to blow-ups or silicone love dolls, including their modest cost, their durability, ease of ...

It's not often we like to use the term "only in Japan" but sometimes it's just about right. Though it's defunct, at the height of the love doll boom in 2004-2005 (at least, boom in its recognition in popular culture), when TV shows were finally taking an interest in the amazingly ultra-realistic silicone brides of Orient Industry, and there were even doll rental services -- then in your book store you may have been lucky enough to get a copy of the glossy magazine i-doloid. Made by Core Magazines, who specialize in adult or underground mags, sadly it's now no longer in print, it ...

Recently we were fortunate enough to be kindly allowed to visit our friends Orient Industry in their factory and then their amazing showroom near Ueno in Tokyo. Naturally, treating their products very seriously, Orient Industry are sensitive about the special creation process for the dolls, so we refrained from filming inside the factory itself (but check out the great slideshow at the start!)... but all we can say is: Wow! Rather than anything "kinky" or strange, the laid-back and welcoming staff at Orient Industry seem more like master craftsmen (and women) in the ...

Way back in 2005 there was a boom for a certain kind of sex doll. Well, to be precise, a sex doll service. Sure, Orient Industry's amazing love dolls, durable plush dolls and the like have been popular for many, many years. But not everyone could afford to have their own luxury lifestyle companion. Nor did they necessary have the space. Perhaps they lived with their parents or with their wives and families. Or perhaps they were just unsure about the whole arrangement and wanted to give it a "test drive" first. Well, trust Japanese consumer service to come up with a solution for this niche. ...

Japanese people like to use cushions when they feel lonely, even in historical times. If you have some imagination and a bit of money, you can invest in one of the massive range of dolls around -- from blow-up air dolls to lap cushions, "love cushions" to full-out silicone love dolls from Orient Industry. Otaku in particular have always liked to have cushions of their loved ones as pillows-cum-partners. This is probably more out of companionship than anything physical (i.e. they don't actually fuck the pillows... maybe). Now some boffins have developed Hugvie, a huggable ...

We've talked before about Edo era Tokyo sex shops. Well, the locals also had their own sex dolls as well, called Azumagata Ningyo (吾妻形人形). After purchasing your "dutch wife" from Yotsumeya, you took the Tenga of its day back home for some fun. It was a crude device, something like a picture school, covered with a bundle of clothing, but made from Tortoiseshell material and so could be heated up with hot water for the natural touch. The piece de resistance was surely the "onahole", in this case a leather pouch. We should point out that there seems to be no serious historical ...

In this day and age, getting two for one is something we should celebrate. But when it's three things in one, hell, we start jumping with joy. Especially when it's a love doll in the sexy shape of a young Japanese schoolgirl. When KanojoToys sent me a sample of the i Doll Satori, I admit I was skeptical. Having recently experienced the ultimate realistic delights of such silicone wonders as the new Ange Real Taste love doll, I wasn't sure if a blow-up doll would pass muster. And yet, for practical purposes, it's still one of the best -- light, flexible and easy to "play ...
