Another week, another sex-themed article about Japan gets written and hawked around.
AFP has written an article about Japan's "silver porn" industry and the wire service has sold it to countless other publications around the world.
We've seen these pieces before, such as in The Guardian.
And of course, it's hardly news.
There has been a vibrant silver porn for a long time, featuring a host of stars like Yumi Kazama and Shigeo Tokuda. And it's not just performers: the over-sixty crowd is very active in watching porn, frequenting love hotels, and also visiting soaplands and ...
When Yuzu Sakurai appeared in her first Japanese porn film at the end of last year, people were surprised that it was simultaneously announced as her last. At her debut, she was already retiring!
This "one-time-only" (ipponkagiri) debut has been common in the past too.
In Sakurai's case, people have speculated it was family opposition or simply her own curiosity. She just wanted to do one film and then move on.
Either way, she has a gorgeous G-cup and we suspect we'll be seeing more of her in the future.
Sometimes this is just a marketing stunt and they reappear later under a ...
Amazon got busted!
Not even the biggest online retailer in the world is safe from the cops.
The Japanese police have raided the Amazon Japan office on suspicion of assisting the sale of child pornography.
On Friday, cops raided the Tokyo headquarters of Amazon Japan, plus the distribution center in Chiba Prefecture (ironically, you can spot it on the way to Disneyland).
The charges are that Amazon let products be sold on its website which broke laws against child pornography. The photo books featured nude girls under 18 and police suspect Amazon knew what the products were -- and ...
Japanese porn label King has made a whole series of onahole masturbator toys based on Japanese porn stars.
And so it was perhaps inevitable that they would turn to the reigning queen, Kirara Asuka. And in particular, her butt.
Though not her first clone masturbator or adult toy tie-up, this Kirara's Hip is a glorious tribute to Kirara Asuka's body, especially her ass. It's a flatbed-style onahole, meaning you can lay it down flat on a surface, even better for sliding into from behind.
There are of course two holes -- the anal and vaginal -- and we like how these are full air ...
Japan's top jukujo Yumi Kazama shows now signs of slowing down with age.
Quite the opposite. Her latest release is Silver Dust Slave Soapland, probably one of her most extreme fetish titles yet.
As Kanojo Toys writes:
This rare new fetish porn title with jukujo older star Yumi Kazama sees the hot MILF coated in silver dust, transforming her into a unique sex slave at a soapland. Every inch of her gorgeous body is dusted in silver, her neck chained to a collar to stop her from moving. Only her eyes and orifices are left free and of course, they come in handy for the nakadashi creampie ...
This song became quite a talking point earlier in the year. A user called Toy Ron uploaded it to YouTube at the end of the year.
If you didn't see the title of the video you might be forgiven for thinking it is just an unusual drum and bass track. But this is a blog about sex and the erotic in Japan, so there's more to than meets the ear.
Listen carefully. That sound should recall the slurping sound of a fast-paced blow job.
The oral sex is all samples of actual fellatio performed by JAV porn Rio (aka Tina Yuzuki) in her vast catalog of adult titles.
Here Toy Ron ...
What a waste?! I hope they lock this guy up!
Sadly, police say they are unlikely to charge Hideaki Adachi, who was discovered dumping waste in a public park in Osaka City. This in itself is an offense but it's what he was dumping that has made the headlines: porn. Lots and lots of porn.
Adachi disposed of almost a quarter of a ton of pornography. After he was caught in the act, he claimed the stash was a friend's and he was getting rid of it.
How much is a quarter of a ton of porn? Apparently it's 17 sacks -- containing films, magazines, and 500 VHS video tapes (remember those?). He ...
We consider ourselves aficionados of some of the weirder sections of the Japanese porn canon. And let's face it, there are some oddities out there.
For example, in "World's Kinkiest Nude Library Challenge", an entry in the shuchi "shame" genre, a woman does crazy things while in a public library... totally naked, natch.
"Elf" sees a man have sex with a fairy-like girl with pointy ears.
"Daddy Quiz Daughter Sex" has a father tied up and forced to watch as his daughter is raped by men in masks if he gets questions wrong.
We think the titles of "Human Farm Cow Girls Orgy" and "Tokyo ...
It would surely be the most-wanted job for any man in Japan.
But incredible as it sounds, there is a shortage of male actors in Japanese porn (JAV).
"There are only 70 or so male adult video actors," Japan's biggest male porn star Shimiken tweeted the other day. "That's less than the number of Bengal tigers." He said that the ones doing most of the work are even less -- just 30.
We've always known that there was a relatively small number of men working professionally and full-time in the industry. But we didn't know the men themselves were worried.
Here is Shimiken and some ...
It can be hard to appeal to school kids, especially when you are trying to teach them a dry subject like mathematics.
So you can forgive someone when they resort to gimmicks to perk students' interest. In the case of one publisher in Thailand, they used a picture of a hot woman on the cover of a textbook.
Okay, so not very subtle but it IS going to get the boys in the class interested.
There was only one problem.
Muang Thai Book sourced the image from the web -- common in Thailand, apparently -- and in fact it turned out to be a promo picture for a Japanese porn film.
Here ...
