Tenga rewards new college students with a better way to jerk off

April is, of course, April Fool’s Day. But more importantly for those of us in Japan, it’s the start of the new fiscal and academic year.

While that’s different from many systems in the West, which generally begin the school year in the autumn, it makes a lot of sense considering it’s spring and the season of new beginnings (and the cherry blossom in the school yards makes for some good commemorative photos).

Tenga knows how hard and stressful it can be to start college. You have to get a whole new set of friends and everyone seems older and cooler than you. It’s also often the first time you have lived away from home, giving you a lot more freedom. While many people in Japan go to a college that’s close enough to still live with their parents, Tokyo is full of 18-year-old kids living in tiny box-like apartments as they begin their four-year degrees. They all want to impress the girls on the campus in the hopes that they can invite one of them back to their little bachelor pad one day. But the reality is, at least initially, a lot of jerking off.

This is a good thing because it helps these guys release all their tension from trying to woe ladies (or other guys). Tenga wants to make things easier for these gents and so has released a special 2021 edition of the Premium Tenga Original Vacuum Cup for Freshers.

After all, what’s better than your hand? Well, another person’s hand (or mouth or vagina). OK, but if you don’t have that to, ahem, hand, then a Tenga toy is a great improvement on your mitt, trusty as it is, and won’t break the bank like other more expensive onaholes (another consideration for cash-strapped students).

In addition to an awesome inner hole design, the cup has a potent vacuum sensation that can be adjusted by the air hole at the far end, while the body allows the user to squeeze and tighten the experience.

As keen-eyed readers will realize, this is actually a specially repackaged version of the Premium Tenga Original Vacuum Cup, which is one the brand’s newer cups in a “premium” masturbation toys line (let’s be honest, all Tenga toys feel premium).

Whether you’re a student or not, the Premium Tenga Original Vacuum Cup for Freshers is available now globally from our friends at Kanojo Toys.

Tenga has previously targeted young consumers by giving out free toys on Coming-of-Age Day (adding a whole new meaning to the name!) and to reward newly enfranchised teenaged voters.
