Yes, finally! Japan is getting its first ever shunga exhibition, opening in Tokyo this September.
While legally you can't show genitalia in films, porn or even art (as Megumi Igarashi has found out to her misfortune), Japan has an immensely rich history of sexually explicit art and erotica.
The important thing to remember about shunga (literally "spring paintings") is that they were created by some of the most famous and popular woodblock print artists, including Hokusai and Utamaro. Sure, they were more niche than the most iconic prints -- but they were still part of the ...
Joining the recent silliness of Condom Day in the (ever-increasing) list of odd anniversaries in Japan, "Kiss Day" is celebrated on May 23rd because it is the day that the film Hatachi no seishun (20-Year-Old Youth) was released in 1946.
In case you're not a film buff, that's the movie that featured the first ever kiss scene, though the stars may have had gauze between them.
To celebrate, Edition Aoyama, a club in Akasaka, Tokyo, is holding an event on Saturday where couples (not necessarily male-female, it seems) are invited to kiss each other through an acrylic plastic ...
Idol Sako Makita is a 21-year-old member of Passpo, an idol group with a flight attendant theme.
However, the group's agency had to apologize and suspend Makita's Twitter account on May 14th after it was allegedly "hacked".
Makita, or at least her Twitter account, told the world that all idols are ill-educated and that they have sex with "everyone", says Tokyo Reporter.
“All the members in the group are unable to use their head,” read one message, “and I can’t stand it. Mostly they’ve only graduated from junior high school and they are not normal people. I’m ...
A new branch of Hooters Tokyo, the politically incorrect eaterie, has opened in Shinjuku.
The first Japan branch in Akasaka has been a big success with horny salarymen, it seems. This Shinjuku outlet is the fifth for the chain in Japan. It's located in a former underground theatre space.
120 people lined up to get into the west Shinjuku restaurant -- to try the menu, of course. We're sure it had nothing to do with the hot girls.
Hooter Girls Marissa Raisor and Janet Layug came from America to attend the opening, though we were more interested in the local women on ...
A 38-year-old municipal employee of Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture, has been arrested for indecent exposure.
Local cops took the Yoshihiro Sekiguchi into custody on May 19th on suspicion of exposing his lower half to a 19-year-old female part-time worker at a Maebashi drug store.
The incident allegedly happened on April 2nd at around 9:30 at night when the man was at the cash register buying something. He then showed his penis to the young lady serving him.
The store manager reported the incident to police on April 6th and it was confirmed on the shop's CCTV. Japanese police ...
These days every fetish has a name. Kemonomimi ("animal ears") is a type of moe anthropomorphism where girl and boy characters in manga and anime have animal-like accessories.
Catgirls are probably the most famous but there are lots of others, since almost anything or anyone can become any kind of "animal" -- from dogs to wolves, rabbits and more.
All this moe inspires its fair share of adult toys.

You may think that masturbator sleeves had nowhere else further to go, but then you'd be wrong.
This is the Dekoboko Moo Moo Catgirl Onahole, a fairly typical ...
A survey with 3,000 Japanese women about one-night stands reveals some nice findings, though we always knew that Japanese girls are far from innocent.
Asking women with an average age of 42 (experience!), this is a pretty balanced poll by News Post Seven.
On average, 39% of women admitted to one-night stands.
And the "sluttiest" prefecture in Japan?
That accolade goes to Miyazaki in Kyushu, since 61.5% of the woman from there said they had had a one-night stand.
Up in the chilly north of Aomori, 60% admitted to one-night stands. With Fukushima at third and Kumamoto and Oita ...
Police are cracking down on "obscene" video sites.
Asiajin reports that at the end of April, Kyoto and other police forces arrested the president of Home Page System, which is meant to be a PR company acting for Japanese web service FC2.
FC2 is the fourth most popular Japanese web service, after Yahoo! Japan, Google Japan and Amazon Japan.
FC2 is well known by claiming to be an American company based in Las Vegas, therefore the contents are not restricted by Japanese law. The Las Vegas address is a rental address and it has been suspected years that the Home Page System is the ...
Japanese TV show Mr Sunday did something strange. It took an interest in the current trend for young people to film themselves kissing... and then decided to "punish" the teenagers involved.
Using an app called Mix Channel that allows you to film and upload 10-second videos, this exhibitionism has been popular for some time.
Here you can see a clip of one of the ...
Take three male virgins.
Put them in a room with three top Japanese porn stars.
And you have the best group date ever.
That's just what Soft on Demand did a little while ago.
The virgins initially wore masks to protect their identities from the camera, though one of the participants was apparently 55 years old so consigned himself just to donning shades.
The three lovely ladies were: Mana Sakura (21 years old), Iori Kogawa (22 years old), and China Matsuoka (20 years old).
What would you talk about if you had a dinner date with these three ...
