We consider it our mission on this blog to tell the world how amazing Japanese sexuality and sexual subcultures are, but it seems that our work is already done without us realizing it.
The entire planet is apparently obsessed with Japanese porn -- at least, if we judge things purely by search results (which is perhaps not the most accurate barometer).
Pornhub has announced its biggest search terms of 2022 and we are delighted and intrigued by the results.
The main trend worldwide it noted was the rise in porn tagged "reality," perhaps to offset the growing professionalism of "amateur" ...
'Tis the season for giving, they say, but perhaps this 31-year-old Japanese man took that custom a little far -- and very much in the wrong direction.
Kyosuke Katsu, a company employee in Gamagori, Aichi, was arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage after he poured urine on the clothing of a fellow passenger on a train.
According to police and media reports, Katsu used a straw to squirt or pour urine onto the clothing of a 32-year-old woman who was sitting in front of him while the train was traveling from Okazaki Station to Gamagori Station at around 11 o'clock at night on December ...
"Shibari is 90% emotional. The other half is technical."
Following our earlier article about Steve Osada's online Japanese rope bondage learning platform, Kinbaku Academy, we sat down with the rope master for a conversation about his career and the state of shibari/kinbaku today.
Steve Osada (also often referred to using the Japanese name order, Osada Steve) inherited the Osada name in 2001 from grandmaster Eikichi Osada when he died. They had first met in 1998 for a photo shoot and Steve eventually started helping the grandmaster with his weekly shows as a pulley operator. The rest, as ...
The 25-year-old gravure idol Minami Haruna (春名美波) has just got a career boost with her first photo book release at the end of last month, plus she has made a splash in the weeklies by going nude for it.
The former race queen looks ravishing in these shoots, which range from a hotel room to a ship, a swimming pool, and what seems to be a random spot in the countryside.
"Harenchi na watashi" (Shameless Me) is a genuinely nude photo book, though it's not full-frontal nudity and it's a little disingenuous with the breasts nudity.
We get to see Haruna's butt in all its bare glory, but ...
The feminist activist Yumi Ishikawa made headlines worldwide in 2019 with her #KuToo campaign against wearing high heels in workplaces.
The actor and model also simultaneously made a lot of enemies, especially among male trolls, and is frequently attacked online. Some call her a hypocrite, since when she was younger, she posed for full-frontal nude shoots as a model and did at least one nude scene as an actor. (Personally, we don't see a problem here: you can do both feminist campaigning and sexually appealing modeling -- the two are not mutually exclusive -- and we all do things in our ...
As we were in a bookstore recently perusing the crowded lineup of idol photo books released in the autumn to catch the end-of-year season, we found ourselves returning again and again to the stunning new offering from Yuka Someya.
As regular readers will know, Someya has featured multiple times on this blog.
She has recently established herself as the queen of the hair nude -- the full-frontal nude shoot that is usually allowed in spite of Japan's nominal legal ban on showing genitalia, including bush -- with several such shoots.
Someya is now aged 30 and as sultry and curvy as ever. She ...
In a sign that times are a-changing and probably a first for the industry, the Japanese adult brand Magic Eyes has teamed up with Onanist Take (pronounced like the Japanese surname, "Ta-key"), a popular amateur content creator on Pornhub, for two collaboration toys.
"Hentais all over the world!" as the man says on his Pornhub page. "My name is Onanist Take and I am a professional Japanese onanist who seeks for the ways of the most intense pleasure in masturbation! I am creating movies for all my fans!"
And now he's also creating lube.
The Ten Days of Not Jerking Off Semen Lubricant is, as ...
The mayor of Nagoya, Takashi Kawamura, has been accused of making an inappropriate hand gesture when posing for a photo with young music idols.
The head of Japan's fourth largest city, and a major industrial center, the 74-year-old mayor stood for a jocular pic with several attendees at a Korean cultural festival in Nagoya held on November 12 and 13.
However, it was immediately noticed that he did the fig sign with his right hand. The image of the smiling Kawamura, surrounded by women decades younger (dressed in traditional Korean clothing), with his thumb between two fingers has caused a ...
Back in May, we reported on the arrests of the head of Japanese secondhand book store chain Mandarake and four of its employees over the sale of sexually explicit old photo books, which the chain apparently sold online and at two of its stores.
Though "hair nude" photo books with full-frontal nudity have been produced and sold by mainstream publishers for decades, the books in question here were so-called "vinyl books," which are older and more obscure -- and less regulated. They constitute a kind of gray zone in terms of adult publications in Japan: hair nude books are "celebrity books" or ...
Everyone wants to be famous and everyone seems to think they can do it on YouTube. And so you get armies of wannabe YouTubers appearing daily, all vying for attention. What to click? What to search?
But then you get some content which is truly worthy of your time.
As always, the simpler the concept, the better. How does watching a beautiful girl walk around Tokyo with no bra sound? Enticing, right?
To be accurate, she's nominally clothed, just braless underneath her top. And so we get the alluring, oddly calming delight of seeing her nipples poking through her clothing as she wanders ...
