As widely reported in the media, the police have begun a new campaign cracking down on so-called "walking dates" in Akihabara in Tokyo.
On Monday night, a dragnet of 100 police officers raided the famed electronics shopping and otaku subculture district in search of girls of schoolgirl age standing on the streets.
Apparently ten girls under 18 were taken into "protective custody". Their crime? Wearing a school uniform on the streets of Akihabara.
Recent concerns about walking dates recall the media frenzy on enjo kosai in the 1990's, though this is supposed to be the first major ...
Soft on Demand (SOD) are some of our favorite people in the world.
Not only do they make fantastic Japanese porn, they are also a retailer who sells and distributes other production companies' products.
Kaku-Butsu is SOD's incredible fuzoku (sex club) web portal, providing information and rankings on hundreds of clubs in Japan.
The name literally means "every thing" and it lives up to its boasts of comprehensiveness.
You can see the club's prices, their area, their services (i.e., can the girl be "delivered" to your love hotel or apartment, or do you pick her up at the club?), and the ...
They might look like sweet, innocent girls. But they're not.
And now their secret has been calculated.
In September, the economist Yasuyuki Iida published a book, Yoru no keizaigaku (Nightnomics), in which he worked out the number of women in Japan who have worked in prostitution in some form, based on analysis of real data.
He says that 1 woman in every 20 is likely a sex worker or has been a sex worker.
"At present, there are around 10,000 sex clubs/shops (fuzoku) operating in Japan. If we look at their websites at who is working there, we could say that there are around 30 women per ...
We've been sitting on this story for a few days to see how it would pad out. And it just keeps on getting better and better.
The tabloid Shukan Bunshun has been publishing a series of photos of AKB48 manager Tomonobu Togasaki smoking (legal) drugs and meeting girls at love hotels.
Togasaki is photographed smoking H Zone 12th, a legal stimulant, in a stairwell of a posh bar in central Tokyo.
Though it is not suggested -- yet! -- that 40-year-old Togasaki has been grooming the hundreds of idols and wannabe idols he manages or auditions for his own sexual predilections, the tabloid has ...
Could this have something to do with "cleaning up" Japan ahead of the upcoming Olympics in 2020?
We haven't heard much about a crackdown on enjo kosai for a little while now, after the media panicked about it a few years ago. But the police have launched a big internet hunt for schoolgirls prostituting themselves through euphemisms.
This will officially begin on October 21st, aimed at schoolgirls selling used panties or otherwise offering their bodies for willing men.
This year, as part of a trial period of the cyber investigation in ten prefectures, they have nabbed 97 minors. ...
Stand around outside any major station or crossing in a Japanese city and you will see them. Young guys picking up girls. Sounds pretty universal. Only these guys are not looking for sex for themselves, nor are they the flamboyant hosts looking for customers to take to their bars.
These usually young and slender guys are scouts. Their job is to recruit girls to work as hostesses or prostitutes in Japan's whole other dimension of sex shops. They get finder's fees from the businesses that they recruit for and they can often be seen watching the hordes that pass, only to then slink up to ...
Saitama might well have a reputation as a boring suburb of Tokyo but some places aren't as dull as they sound.
Japan might also be a nation with 25% older population but the seniors can't be accused of being anything but active.
One man was recently arrested for being a little too vigorous, in fact. 64-year-old Yoshio Shimazaki of Utsunomiya in Tochigi had some urges and knew where to do go to sort it out. He went to Saitama.
In November 2011 at a love hotel in Kawaguchi City he gave a female high school student ¥20,000 and then had her perform bondage play with him. At the time the ...
Forget Toyota and Sony, the real beneficiaries of Abenomics and the boost to the economy Japan is receiving (at least in spirit) is Yoshiwara, the old red light district near the Tokyo Sky Tree and still active centuries after it first became a licensed sex area.
Of course, these days prostitution is officially outlawed (thanks to the US occupation for that) but the true Yoshiwara experience can still be enjoyed in the soaplands, where you get a bubbly rub-down followed by other kinds of services.
The increase in tourists to the nearby Sky Tree is having a knock-on effect on the ...
What did we tell you recently about larger ladies being better experiences? There's even a special masturbator for just that sensation!
Clearly we are not alone in these opinions, since news reaches us that Japanese police have broken up a delivery health service (a euphemism for call girl service) which specializes in women weighing up to 150kg!
The leader has been arrested -- we guess, then, she wasn't kicking up to the right Yakuza to win police protection -- though intriguingly it was a woman. Keiko Saito (41) was running Makkusu Bodi (Max Body) expressly for men who like ...
Kiyoshi Hayashishita, the famous father of a dozen children and star of long-running reality TV show "Big Daddy", has told a tabloid of a side-line he used to do to earn extra cash.
"I was a driver for a delivery health [a euphemism for call girl services]. The hourly rate was ¥5,000. It was just four hours but you could earn ¥20,000 in a night. It was a really good part-time job."
He also explains how the drivers -- who take the girls by car to the love hotels and often wait -- also function as bouncers when things go wrong.
He sometimes had to take along a wooden sword to ...
