We don't wish to stoke any more international anger between Japan and Korea, but we just had to blog this when we read about it.
The December issue of tabloid rag SAPIO is reporting that, while it is not a fact that Korean men have the smallest of cocks, it is smaller than normal.
Just 9cm is apparently what's been bandied around online.
I personally have no experience with Korean men so cannot say either way.
On the whole, they seem more macho than their Japanese counterparts, so this news is surprising, to be honest.

Korean prostitution now 5% of GDP, 8.71 trillion won!

Korea has the infamy of "the nation of prostitution" and it gets even stronger as it exports its biggest asset (and no, we don't mean Samsung).
Along highways you used to find lines of sex shops with open windows like the chon no ma you get in Ueno, Kawasaki or in Osaka.
In the old days Korean sex shops used to be a hair salon but in the back room there would be "extra" services. However, since 2004 these kinds of places have disappeared. Likewise there used to be places that on the surface appear to be tea rooms that "delivered" things but with more on the menu that just ...
Forget Senkaku! Japanese porn is still popular in China!
November 12, 2012
/ Tadashi Anahori
Forget politics. When it comes to what's inside their pants, Chinese men are willing to forget about the ongoing Senkaku Islands dispute with Japan.
Namely, hot Japanese porn stars.
Sora (or Sola) Aoi is especially popular, with 13 million followers on the Chinese version of Twitter.
With Japanese cars being trashed, Chinese films being withdrawn from the Tokyo International Film Festival, and trade and tourism collapsing... you might think that Sora should be worried. Apparently not.
A slogan spread among Chinese men earlier this year: “The Senkaku Islands belong to us; Sora Aoi ...
Japanese porn star Hotaru Akane supports China over Senkaku Islands
September 24, 2012
/ Tadashi Anahori
One of the biggest international rows right now is the Senkaku Islands dispute between Japan and China. The Chinese have been rioting and protesting Japan's claims to the rocks in their usual unrestrained way, while over her the occasional person has spoke out, notably right-wing Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara, who at one point bizarrely tried to use public money to purchase the islands.
Now Hotaru Akane, a former JAV porn star who retired in 2008 for mainstream celebrity-dom, has weighed in. Tweeting in Chinese she has said that "looking at it historically, they are Chinese" and that ...
K-Pop girl group KARA were asked at a recent press conference what they thought about Takeshima/Dokdo.
Naturally, not being politicians, it is unfair to call on them in this way... but journalists are cruel and cannot resist stirring up a hornet's nest.
KARA are on of several K-Pop bands who are active in Japan and have fans are both sides of the ocean. A wrong word on these thorny issues can alienate people forever.
Korean actors and music artists who work in Japan have been submitted to this trial recently, compared to "fumi-e" -- where in the Tokugawa period, Shogunate ...
“No Japs Allowed”: Korean internet cafes get racist
August 22, 2012
/ Tadashi Anahori
As much as we love Korea, K-Pop, Korean food and Korean girls, the continuing furore over the island of jagged rocks that is Takeshima/Dokdo has been causing some upsetting silliness over on the peninsular.
Now an internet has put up a sign in Korean and (bizarrely) English stating its refusal to allow Japanese would-be netizens from entering the premises.
Both Korean and Japanese online observers have been quick to point out that if the sign is not in Japanese, people will not understand it -- or just won't think to read it.
The sign displayed proudly at the internet cafe in ...
Our favorite Korean sexy ladies, the indubitable and undefeatable Girls' Generation (aka Shojo Jidai or SNSD) are going to perform tonight on the CBS talkshow, "The Late Show with David Letterman". It's apparently the first Korean music act to appear on mainstream American television!
Their five-minute set will feature "The Boys" (in English!), the title song of their third full length album. AKB48, eat your hearts out! The gals with the long legs are in charge and all your moe antics count for nothing against pure, unrestrained female sexiness!
Japanese pop stars better start ...
Is it the tattoos or that look she gives at the end? Or that cute-as-hell pair of panties she is wearing? I don't know but we've fallen in love with this lady.
Who is she?!! If anyone can identity this stunning girl we'll be over the moon. We're guessing she's not Japanese due to the tattoos and her mannerism, but she could be Japanese American.
Thanks to one of our readers, we could identify her as the model Levy Tran, who later starred in Fast and Furious ...
R.I.P. Kim Jong-il, North Korea’s illustrious leader
December 22, 2011
/ Tadashi Anahori
We really, really tried to resist the temptation to post something facile and silly about the recent demise of Kim Jong-il.
As you can see, after much inner wrangling... we failed spectacularly!
Having been married several times and fathered numerous kids, it's no secret that Jong-il had an eye for the ladies...
No prizes for guessing the next leader.
But did you know Kim Jong-il had a second job as a DJ?
[See more of this great series here.]
Funny how so many in his country lacked food and yet their leader always seemed so well-fed.
Who says the North ...
Strong yen increases Korean prostitutes in Tokyo
October 17, 2011
/ Tadashi Anahori
Economic conditions can have unexpected results.
Any nighttime wanderer up Shibuya's Dogenzaka, passing the eateries, convenience stores and family restaurants, may have been approached by woman -- not usually the youngest -- asking if they want a "massage". Of course, this actually means a handjob or blow job, or maybe even full service. They hang around in small groups; sometimes a sleazy pimp is nearby.
The fact that they are even asking white foreigners shows that the recession is taking its toll. And I've always loved that the police station is in full sight and no one does a ...
