Is the Skullfucker the most unique blowjob toy ever?
December 20, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Tama Toys has established a reputation for some of the most unique toys in the Japanese adult industry. Its past male masturbation items include fuckable ears, toilets, grenades, hearts, bullets, and even brains!
An initial brainstorming session at Tama Toys must be a heck of a lot of fun, with the designers throwing around all sorts of wild ideas. But these are not just visual gimmicks, they are genuine masturbators that stimulate you physically and excite your fantasies.
The latest colorful entry in the Tama Toys catalog is the Skullfucker.
Available globally from our friends at Kanojo ...
Man arrested for posing as female AI character to sell dating advice

/ Tadashi Anahori
It's become normal now to see social media avatars and advertising images created with AI technology. But when does this become a problem? And when is it criminal?
At present, most of the images look a bit cheap and exaggerated, and are often easy to spot.
But they are still alluring, it seems, since a 33-year-old man in Osaka called Kaiga Yokota has been arrested for creating an overly realistic female character.
The issue is that he posed as this character, Miru Nanase, attracting followers on social media (to the tune of 90,000 on Twitter/X). So far so harmless, but Yokota's real intent ...
Brian Thompson murder suspect Luigi Mangione wants to ban Tenga in Japan

The world is gripped by the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the arrest of prime suspect Luigi Mangione.
People are trying to figure out his exact motives, with figures on both sides of the political spectrum hoping to claim him as a champion against corporate greed.
The 26-year-old is highly intelligent and well educated, it seems, and even made a trip to Japan back in May.
In social media postings, he made comments about the East Asian country, including his suggestions for how to fix the low birth rate. Don't worry, it doesn't involve shooting any more CEOs.
How can we ...
West Japan’s largest strip club in Osaka raided by police for public indecency
November 22, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Back in 2019, we lamented the (fortunately temporary) closure of Osaka's red-light district Tobita Shinchi in a bid to stave off a crackdown by the authorities ahead of the G-20 summit. (Because the 2020 Olympics ended up being held in 2021 and with basically no visitors, the Tokyo Games ultimately did not involve as much of a crackdown on porn and sex services as expected.
There's nothing we hate more than hypocrisy and trying to hide what society is truly like, but Osaka is at it again.
With next year's expo fast approaching, Osaka police have raided a strip club called the Toyo Show ...
International survey finds that Japan ranks bottom for romantic and sexual satisfaction
November 21, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Oh no. One of those surveys has appeared.
Despite our best efforts to celebrate the diverse and exciting sexual landscape in Japan, these perennial surveys reporting on sexlessness in the country get lots more attention and tarnish the reputation (probably made worse by our own regurgitation of them on these digital pages).
Of course, decline in sexual activities between long-term partners is common across the world and so is a decline in dating and sex among the young, though the reporting on it in Japan tends to veer toward the orientalist.
This latest survey is a bit different, because ...
Old photo book of model who had affair with politician is now a bestseller
November 15, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
The revelation that the head of Japan's third largest opposition party, Yuichiro Tamaki, has been having an affair with a former gravure model, Miyuki Koizumi, sparked a media frenzy at the start of this week.
The tabloids have continued to pump out stories about the affair, much of which is just speculation.
Of course, adulterous politicians is a story as old as the hills but this one has has longer legs because Tamaki is so prominent right now (his party arguably holds the keys to keeping the minority Liberal Democratic Party government in power) -- and this is surely why the tabloids ...

/ Tadashi Anahori
Continuing a time-honored tradition of using up-and-coming celebrities for its models, the leading Japanese lingerie brand Peach John's new choice of model is announcer Kasumi Mori.
Mori has recently established herself as a model and general celebrity, hoping to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Minami Tanaka, who launched a new career as an actress on the back of a bestselling photo book. Mori also released a debut photo book earlier this year, which revels in her shapely butt and pale skin, and has remained in the public eye through regular TV appearances.
Her shoot for Peach John ...
Opposition party leader caught having affair with former gravure model
November 11, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
We are used to Japanese politicians, both male and female, having affairs with hostesses, party workers, foreign musicians, and even other lawmakers. But what about gravure idols?
In a case that recalls Kensuke Miyazaki, who had advocated for fathers to take paternity leave but was caught having an affair with a gravure model while his wife (another lawmaker) was giving birth, a tabloid has broken a scoop on Democratic Party for the People leader Yuichiro Tamaki, who is alleged to have been having an affair with a former gradol.
Flash has revealed that the 55-year-old Tamaki has been ...
Liberal foreign media worries about Japanese high school students kissing less
November 6, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
We already wrote about this story back in September but now the mainstream foreign media is starting to pick up the survey by the Japanese Association for Sex Education, which examines the rate of sex and other forms of intimacy among junior and senior high school students.
Perhaps prompted by the publication of the full version of the survey and new reports about it in the Japanese media, liberal bastion the Guardian recently ran an article bemoaning the falling numbers of male Japanese school students who had never kissed.
As noted in September, the survey results indicate that only one ...
Kabukicho concafe workers arrested for trying to force female customer into porn
November 1, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Here's a case that ticks all the boxes about the current moral panic.
A concafe ("concept cafe") staffed by men in Kabukicho, Tokyo, is accused of exploiting vulnerable female customers.
Concafes can be innocuous themed cafes but are often staffed only by men, making them essentially a kind of host club (similar to how girls' bars are like a cheap hostess club). The customers come for the fantasy created by theme (butlers, doctors, private boys' boarding school students, etc.) and the men who work there.
At this one, 32-year-old Takuma Ono is alleged to have tried to force a 20-year-old ...
