Sometimes I don't get Japan at all. And it's my own country.
So-called "sexless" relationships are a big problem here. There are marriages up and down the land where no fucking is happening between man and wife. And it's not just the middle-aged. Even the youngsters aren't up to as much as they should be.
This is bad news for condom makers. One contraception manufacturer has said that its sales of condoms is just 60% of what it was 30 years ago. Personally, though, knowing a lot of chums, I reckon it's the local penchant for not using a condom and ending it all with a glorious bukkake ...
Japan has love hotels, sex shops, adult goods...It's an erotic paradise. But this is all carefully pigeonholed. Anyone who's watched mainstream TV here will immediately notice how boring it is. No sex, no nudity, no controversy. Yeah, it's pretty boring except for the occasional cute presenter.
Well, one such cute lady got herself into some trouble earlier this year.
A picture of Miku Natsume giggling while holding up a box of condoms (Exhibit A on the left), seemingly while lying on a futon with the photographer, led to the sweet gal being sacked from her conservative ...
Imagine learning the date every day by having it literally drawn onto a sexy girl.
Nyotai Goyomi is my new favorite toy. It sends you a photo every day to your iPhone or Android phone of a new girl!
The name means "girl's body calendar" (女体暦) and the sharp-eyed among you will recognize the first part from semi-mythical nyotai-mori, where apparently people eat food off nature girls. (Spoiler alert: This probably never happens except in gaijin fantasies!)
Each month has a new theme -- nurse, school girl, kimono etc -- but tattoos are always sexy, right?
J-girls with ...
Japan is the well known for its liking for panties, especially used ones, and for good reasons too.
You can get them from vending machines, stores, magazines or...well, you can just steal them if you are so inclined.
That's what 32-year old Satoshi Nakayama has been doing in north Tokyo. He went to a coin laundry in Ikebukuro, a rather run-down part of town, and helped himself to pairs of girls' underwear from the driers. And he didn't stop there. He also couldn't stop his wandering hands from snatching off panties from ground floor apartment balconies as they were hanging out ...
After generating uproar and surprise when they faked a new CGI member for an ice cream commercial, AKB48 have trumped us again by introducing the "real" Aimi Eguchi.
In front of 90,000 fans during a major concert, "Eguchi" joined the regular gals on stage for an encore!
It later emerged that we had been fooled again by those dastardly ladies! The performer was in fact 15-year-old Yukari Sasaki, who had been the voice behind the Glico Aimi Eguchi commercial, and was wearing special make-up to make her appear like the idol.
That's a tough thing to attempt since Aimi is famously formed of ...
Convicted murderer and rapist Ichihashi is clearly a sick guy. But what's worse than killing an innocent British teacher in cold blood in her apartment? Being his groupie.
Yes, at his recent trial in Chiba, just outside Tokyo, Tatsuya Ichihashi (32) attracted groups of female fans every day. The media dubbed them the "Ichihashi girls". Not sure whether they were there to support, admire or just because they had nothing better to do, but this is a new strain of moe for sure. Ichihashi-moe (市橋萌え)!
According to journalists reporting at the trial, they caught the groupies, aged from ...
According to a recently published international study, and contrary to conventional wisdom, cuddling and caressing are more important to men than women in a long-term relationship. Researchers, studying responses from adults in Japan, the United States, Brazil, Germany and Spain, also discovered that men were more likely to be happy in their relationships and that frequent kissing or cuddling was an accurate predictor of happiness for men.
Julia Heiman, the director of Indiana University's Kinsey Institute, which conducted the study, was quoted as being "[A] little surprised." with the ...
A now former high school teacher was recently arrested for a third time after spilling (or discharging) bodily fluids on a 23 year old co-ed in a parking lot in Tochigi Prefecture.
According to Sponichi the accused approached his victim in a parking lot and after hitting her with what I can only imagine to be a bit of his very own baby batter (the article isn't very specific as to what kind of body fluid it was...) simply told her, "You've got something on your sweater. Let me help you with that."
He then proceded to help her get his spunk off of her sweater, but not before taking ...
A new survey by the folks over at Time Out Tokyo has provided us an interesting snapshot of sexual habits in the nation's capital in 2011. Responding to a request from May 23rd, over 800 people eventually completed the survey, painting an illuminating picture of the sex lives of present-day Tokyoites.
With male respondents accounting for 61% of the total, females taking 39%, the survey delved into such issues as how long you would need to know somebody before having sex (answers running from mere hours to several years), who should initiate a pickup (seems the ball is in your ...
A man has been arrested in Tokyo for having three schoolgirls spit out saliva and filming them in the process. Toshihiko Mizuno, a jobless 55-year-old, was taken in on suspicion of "habitual indecency," which carries a penalty of up to one year in jail or a fine of one million yen ($12,400), a statement from the Metropolitan Police Department said.
Mizuno had separately approached three girls, aged nine and ten, in October and December of last year, either outside apartment towers or in the street. His modus operandi was to claim that he was conducting research on saliva and was in ...
