There's a reason that a lot of love hotel rooms have mirrors installed. Who doesn't want to watch themselves having sex? Following on from our popular post last year about leaked sex selfies by amateur couples at Japanese love hotels, we present another roundup of nude sex selfies by couples taken in front of a mirror. From man on woman to two men on one women, from bedrooms to hotel rooms, bathrooms, and more, from young lovers to older couples, from pre- to mid-coitus, the scenarios vary a bit, as does the quality (pictorial and physical). Sometimes the flash glare serves as an effective ...

We fondly remember the days when it was relatively easy to visit happening bars. Sadly, those times when such establishments were widely known and could be frequented in central areas like Shinjuku or Shibuya now feel distant, largely due to a police crackdown that closed many down or scared others off. Further proof that the police won't tolerate businesses that allow members of the public to have sex with each other appeared this month. Media reported on May 9 that police had busted a Shibuya happening bar called Sleeping Beauty. An incredible eleven separate police districts as well ...

Shibari, the Japanese art of rope bondage, is a sexual subculture, something confined to certain clubs and establishments, right? Wrong. As one event proved, shibari (also known as kinbaku) is also very visible in the streets of Tokyo. On May 7, Hajime Kinoko, probably the most successful and well-known shibari rope artist in Japan, created an outdoor installation on the walls of a venue in Cat Street, a shopping street in Harajuku, central Tokyo. The installation involved him and his team suspending five female models (one of whom was Lisa M, aka Lisa Mizuno) in shibari positions on the ...

As reported recently on this blog, one of the unexpected outcomes of the coronavirus pandemic has been how the ubiquity of face masks has merged with an existing fetish for used underwear to beget a whole new brand of the adult market: used face masks. However, though schoolgirls and housewives are apparently benefitting financially from the demand, some have warned that used face masks carry serious hygiene risks. Japanese social media, especially Twitter, offers plenty of examples of used masks for sale, sometimes with "kiss marks." Posters tend to include photos of the stains from ...

Uber Eats (and similar services) has become a part of daily life in Tokyo, with its bike couriers often seen shuttling around the city making deliveries. You know that something is an established part of Japanese pop culture when it gets its own parody onahole. Plus it has inspired fantasies of hot girls bringing you your lunch and with a little something extra, courtesy of the revealing clothes they wear. This has practically launched the modeling career of Uber Eats delivery rider Yu Maria. Now the trope has another iteration: cosplay. Sexy Uber Eats cosplay is trending and the best ...

The growing problem of syphilis in Japan is not new: we've been writing about it for years now. But it simples that it won't get better any time soon. Just when you think cases can't rise anymore or that the coronavirus pandemic would at least slow its relentless spread, along comes the latest batch of statistics to prove you wrong. We are only a quarter of the way through the year but number of cases of syphilis in Japan is already up yet again, reports the Mainichi. Compared to the same period last year -- whose overall figure reached a record high -- the number of syphilis cases has ...

A 40-year-old political candidate has allegedly fathered a child with a junior high school second grader. Masayuki Hiratsuka, who is the head of the Popular Sovereignty Party and advocates not wearing masks (quite something in a culture like Japan where wearing masks is already ingrained, especially during flu or pollen allergy seasons) and not getting the Covid vaccine, ran for governor of Tokyo in the July 2020 election with a striking campaign declaring that the "coronavirus is just a cold." Though he attracted a mere 0.15% of the vote, he has continued to campaign online on his YouTube ...

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police's chikan (molesting) app Digi Police (Digital Police) has won plaudits for recently leading to the arrest of a man in his fifties, who was allegedly groping the body of a young girl on a crowded train. The incident happened on the morning of April 15 on a train running between Saitama and Tokyo. A girl in her teens used the app to notify that she was being groped. Chikan is a notoriously serious problem on public transport in Japan. Frequently, trains are so crowded that a victim of chikan cannot move and is unable to identify who is molesting them. In this ...

It was surely inevitable. We all know that used panties is an infamous and genuine fetish in Japan (and elsewhere, of course), whose needs are served by various products sold by major companies as well as individuals hoping to make a quick yen. Face masks were already a big part of people's lives in Japan even pre-pandemic, especially during flu or pollen allergy seasons. But now they are almost part of our daily uniform and one that is unlikely to go away any time soon. This has cultivated a new strain of fetish, it seems: used face masks, especially those worn by attractive women. As ...

After losing his wife, the former TV announcer Mao Kobayashi, to cancer in 2017, the top kabuki actor Ebizo Ichikawa was reinvented in the public imagination as a sympathetic figure bravely battling on as a single parent. Ebizo, who had an image as a womanizer before he settled down with Mao Kobayashi, is apparently starting to date again. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but the tabloids are relishing the details: namely that the 44-year-old star is dating more than one woman, judging from paparazzi shots, and they are much younger than him. Though one such report came out last autumn, ...
