We all know that college students have a lot of sex (if they're lucky) and that it's an age when you explore things. After a few drinks you might even try some kinky stuff with your new partner. Well, that's all going to stop at one Japanese university. Kinki Daigaku used to call itself "Kinki University" in English, an apparently harmless reference to the name of its region. Well, maybe they were more innocent times back in 1949 when the university was founded and the English name decided. However, being pronounced "kinky" and spelt almost the same, the name naturally causes a lot of ...

We all have fantasies about the sexy nurse who knows how to tuck you in. Well, at least one nurse in Osaka really did have the know-how, cultivated through experienced at her second job. Tokyo Reporter has picked up a nice story from the media about the Osaka Medical Center and Research Institute for Maternal and Child Health, which has suspended a 24-year-old nurse from work because the young nurse was also employed at an Osaka “fashion health” (a type of sex club) from August 2013 to April this year. The nurse was accused of violating internal regulations regarding side ...

Who says old people can't think about sexy stuff? Not in Osaka, that's for sure. Japan's traditionally roguish second city's residents came up with a great way to revitalize Fuminosato Shotengai, an old shopping street. They created a series of ironic and eye-catching posters about the local businesses. What we loved the most were the particularly risque posters which showed that even when the demographic skewers older, the mind still skewers dirtier. They ran a poster design competition to support the remaining shops in the arcade, once a thriving commercial street but which, like ...

Have you ever watched Japanese pornography? Have you ever had sex with a Japanese girl or listened to someone else having sex with one? It's not all girls but a large number will make noises the likes of which you never imagined could come from a partner. Is it crying? Is it high-pitched moaning? Is it screaming? Either way, it can be very off-putting for some, not to mention embarrassing in case your neighbors hear. After all, you're not raping the girl! But then they also saying things like kimochii (feels good) and iku iku (I'm coming). Why do they do it? No one has a ...

Wow, this is big. We have been worried about police crackdowns for a while, especially with the upcoming Olympics likely to become an excuse for exerting state power. Could this be the tip of the iceberg? Police have raided one of Tokyo's top BDSM clubs, KUNKUN. The Ueno club is pretty big (we've been there) and also fairly new (it opened in mid-2012). It is the base of one of Japan's best-known shibari (kinbaku) rope bondage art masters, Hajime Kinoko (Hideto Hiramatsu). Of course, there is a thin line between being bondage club where a show may take place and being a "happening" ...

Photographer Hal is, as the name suggests, a photographer in Japan. While that may not sound unusual, one glance at his output and you'll see this is not the stuff you tend to encounter on Flickr. Photographer Hal creates amazing vacuum-packed photography in which naked couples embrace each other in a plastic bag. "Photographer Hal started packing couples together in futon vacuum bags to preserve their love forever. The process to achieve this eternal image is very organic and each couple can only be left inside the seal bag for 10 seconds." Using futon sealing bags, the ...

Durex, the condom brand, have an interest in things sexual. This doesn't just mean marketing their prophylactic, it also means studying global sex habits. From Durex's Sexual Wellbeing Survey (2007/2008) and Face of Global Sex (2012), they gained some insights into international bedroom tendencies among heterosexual couples. The Japan results intrigued us... The main conclusion is that apparently people in Japan are very unhappy with their sex lives. Japan was the only country where more people said they were dissatisfied with their sex lives than satisfied. See the chart ...

There are fetishes and then there are fetishes. This is one of those extreme ones. An Osaka taxi driver has been arrested for drugging a female passenger. We are familiar with unpleasant tales of taxi drivers and female passengers, but this is something new. Toshihiko Nishi (41) was arrested on May 7th on suspicion of giving a passenger snacks laced with a powerful diuretic. He then steadfastly refused to let the passenger out even as her situation grew more and more desperate. Nishi has apparently admitted the charges and said the reason was he gets sexually aroused by women displaying ...

At just under 18 years old. At least, the national average is 17.7 years old for when women in Japan get their first kiss, according to a new survey by LC Love Cosmetic. In April this year the researchers asked 2,350 women from all over Japan and compiled the results into a handy map. The kinkiest ladies, the ones most keen to get started on their smooching careers, hail from Tokyo (#1) at 16.3 years old, chilly Akita (#2) in the north at 16.6 years old, and then warm but typhoon-struck Nagasaki (#3) in the south at 16.7 years old. In these prefectures, first and second ...

Sometimes models and actresses get a little bit of help to look better and further their career. But this is an extreme case. Japanese porn star Rina Nanase/Rumi Kanda has been having a series of plastic surgery operations to her eyes, nose and chin because she believes having a very spade-like look makes her look cuter. Similarly to how former curvy gravure idol Yuuri Morishita has turned her face into a weird shape, Rina/Rumi has also become not so much "glamorous" as emaciated. The result? See for yourselves. She looks like an alien or even Dobby from Harry Potter. She has also been ...
