These days, we aren't going out much, but we might be persuaded to make an exception here. Tokyo Weekender published a photo report on the recently opened SOD Land, which is publicized as a porn theme park. As previously reported, the complex opened in the Kabukicho area of Shinjuku in central Tokyo back in October, and features five floors devoted to adult video. Tokyo Weekender's report emphasizes the "safety" aspect of the visit, in how the site has adapted to the risk of the coronavirus through face masks, disinfecting visitors from head to foot, and a special UV filter in the ...

A research team at Gifu University has developed the My Girlfriend in Walk (sic), a robotic hand that the user can hold to replicate the experience of a romantic walk with a partner. The artificial hand apparently even imitates the way a human appendage sweats and smells as well as feeling soft and warm. Grip the hand and its built-in sensors detect the pressure of your grasp and will squeeze your hand back in reply. The hand can also work in tandem with the user's smartphone to recognize whose hand it is holding. Despite investing unknown amounts of time and yen in the development, the ...

Sex education is notoriously inadequate in Japan, contributing to the relatively low usage of condoms by young people. But it seems some pedagogues are determined to make up for this in other areas of teaching. At least, that might appear to be the logic partially behind why an educational event at Kyoto University recently included a live demonstration of shibari Japanese rope bondage. Pics and tweets about the incident went viral last week in Japan, not least because of the incongruous notion of a renowned institution hosting such a sexual subculture. Kyoto University is one of the most ...

Most teenagers dream of dating pop singers or movie stars. But this girl isn't most teenagers. No, 13-year-old Seira Watanabe had a different kind of dream date: Godzilla. And she finally got her dream granted. Watanabe already has a huge Godzilla figure collection, but nothing beats meeting and interacting with the real thing. A Japanese television show recently helped make that happen by arranging a date for her with Godzilla, as reports Kotaku. Naturally, the kaiju was not quite its usual size. When she spotted Godzilla outside her window at her home in Hyogo Prefecture, she almost ...

Top Japanese porn producer Soft on Demand has opened its mini theme park complex in Kabukicho, Tokyo, which, despite recent gentrification, remains one of the centers of the adult and sex industry.

The Japanese gravure idol (glamor model) industry is a competitive and overly populated place, with idols coming and going in quick succession. In order to maintain their status, idols are required to keep up strong social media presences. This, of course, means Twitter and Instagram, but increasingly also YouTube. Gradols have to be YouTubers these days, too. The coronavirus has made this more urgent than before as splashy shoots and meet-and-greet events are either not having or only in far reduced numbers, decreasing the potential for idols to earn fees. Perhaps feeling the pinch, ...

A video has leaked online allegedly showing the popular actress and model Elaiza Ikeda having sex with a male partner. In the video, a woman who looks like Ikeda is shown riding an unknown man in the cowgirl position while panting audibly. Her face and hair are certainly similar in appearance to Ikeda and she also has large breasts (Ikeda is famously busty). However, some have pointed out that the woman does not have the same mole on her left shoulder that Ikeda has. The footage is shot hamedori-style by the man as he enjoys the bareback action. Lasting just over a minute, it ends with the ...

If you have ever used a Japanese love hotel, you might have interacted with staff in the reception area. Usually they are hidden behind a screen and you get a glimpse of a hand and nothing much else. But what is the staff area like? Where are the employees in the meantime? Perhaps hanging out in the operations/control room, which may well look something like this. The photo was shared on Twitter user Onitsuchi last week and went viral (as in 8,000 retweets). We say "control room" because the room evokes a Cold War-era control tower at a tiny airstrip somewhere, or perhaps the bunker of a ...

Fortunately, other people can go to these places for us and provide stunning photo shoots that offer a vicarious experience. Such as Twitter user and photographer @room404nf, who posted a series of images from an incredible love hotel shoot. The ...
