Any self-respecting fan or consumer of Japanese adult video will know how important shame is: shame or insult (ryoujoku, ryojoku) fetish porn is huge. In the pantheon of Japanese porn, women are humiliated in all number of inventive ways, from being made to pee themselves (omorashi) to having their bodies turned into "public toilets" for anyone to use.
A common theme is the use of writing on the naked body, where women are "tagged" with graffiti insulting them or labeling them as sluts.
If this turns you or your partner on, there are ways to recreate the experience, such as the "shame ...
No one needs any convincing that Japanese schoolgirls are awesome, especially their uniforms. That's why there is such a mountain of toys, dolls, and costumes out there.
But what about schoolboys? No, we don't mean like that -- though there are some toys in that direction, such as the provocative Boy's Penis Smell Bottle. We'll leave the world of shotacon for another day.
The Gakuran Swimsuit Japanese Schoolboy Coat Design is a item of female swimwear brilliantly inspired by a classic part of the Japanese male school uniform.
The gakuran is a Prussian-style coat worn by many young ...
It's not often that we get excited about a Japanese-made vibrator.
Sure, it goes without saying that Japan produces some of the best luxury sex dolls, blow-up dolls, sex machines and masturbator toys the world has to offer.
But it's not famous for its vibrators and much of what is on the market is relatively familiar to anyone who has perused an adult shop overseas.
Tenga has been on something of a mission to change that in recent times, creating an impressive line of Iroha female and Vi-Bo couple-play vibrators.
One of the things Japanese adult toys do best, though, is parody: ...
If the long-running and immensely popular Bandai and Peach John Sailor Moon lingerie was not sexy enough for you, take a gander at these new Street Fighter cosplay underwear costumes!
The limited-edition underwear is on sale from the online retailer SuperGroupies, which specializes in apparel with a gaming and anime theme, from August 28th. Don't get too excited just yet, though. It's reservations only for now: the lingerie isn't actually available until January next year! Reservations are taken up till September 18th and we predict this will immediately sell ...
Japan, the land that prizes the wonders of soine -- or snuggling up. So much so, in fact, that they had "cuddle cafes" in Akihabara and there are, somewhat inevitably, pillows and cushions made in the shape of girl's laps. (If this sounds sexist, keep in mind there are cuddle services for women, too.)
There has been a crackdown on cuddle and snuggle joints of late, it seems, since they were seen as fronts for so-called JK businesses and JK reflexology places. In other words, they were employing underaged girls and possibly offering more than just snuggles.
But don't worry: now you can ...
Well, here is an new addition to our mental list of crazy yet amazing Japanese sex toys. After all, how can you say no to a sweet corn cob dildo?!
Yes, the Sweet Corn Cock Dildo is as awesome as it name makes it sound.
Japanese dildos certainly come in all shapes and sizes, and there are plenty of arguably pointless gimmicks out there (a kendama dildo, anyone?). From uncircumcised phimosis dildos to ones with cute character faces on them, there really is something for everyone, if you care to look hard enough.
But rarely does visual flair combine with functionality quite so brilliantly as ...
We all loved stripped and exploring the bodies of Barbie dolls when we were young, but how about a doll that size or thereabouts that you can actually have sex with? Mini sex dolls -- sex dolls the size of Volks Dollfie dolls or even smaller -- have long enjoyed a cult reputation online. You can find all kinds of videos of people who have customized small dolls so that they can be penetrated.
When the Dollho came along, it was like the answer to people's dreams. Not surprisingly, the doll set sold like crazy.
There have been others, not least the fantastic Libidoll and a great series of ...
It's no secret how wildly popular the gravure model Miyako Akane is, so much so that she seems to be inspiring her own mini fetish sub-genres.
She has a big following, not least because she rewards her fans with such things as making her porn debut (under the name Ema Yumekawa), wearing insanely sexy swimwear, and sparking a new street fashion trend for extreme body painting. In the past she has also posed nude and in a zentai body suit.
But what if your obsession with the angelic-faced, big-chested model was more than just her body? What if you wanted her to be, well, missing ...
Now that's what we call a retirement.
When Rin Sakuragi announced she was leaving her career in adult video at the age of 28, she (and her managers) decided to do so with a bang.
In the time since we've seen not one but three sex toys dedicated to the goddess.
Fans can sample the Rin Sakuragi AV Retirement Special Clone Onahole, a regular masturbator toy from Nippori Gift based on AV idol's pussy.
Then there's the Geki-fera Vacuum Rin Sakuragi Blowjob Onahole, an awesome entry in the bestselling series of oral sex masturbator toys.
And if that's still not enough, ...
It didn't take long for virtual reality to discover a potentially lucrative niche: Japanese panchira fetish.
This penchant for up-skirt views is a big thing in Japan, unfolding in AV, video games, books, photography, umbrella, and, of course, real-life crimes and incidents. Trains and escalators are particularly notorious places for panchira fetishists to linger.
One of the most bizarre was the case of the man who lay in a Kobe storm drain for hours, looking up under the skirts of girls who walked by. This was something of an addiction -- he was a serial offender!
Well, now you can ...
