In an episode of the Japanese TV drama Bokura wa koi ga heta sugiru (We're Too Bad at Romance, 僕らは恋がヘタすぎる), gravure idol Nana Asakawa (浅川梨奈) is shown riding her male lover cowgirl in a sex scene.
They kiss and undress on a sofa inside a hotel room. The 21-year-old Nana is wearing a sensual red bra that keeps her best assets under wraps.
They then move over to the bed, where Nana rides the lucky man.
Bokura wa koi ga heta sugiru is broadcast domestically on Asahi TV and stars Umika Kawashima and Jin Shirasu in the lead roles.
There is no actual ...
There's a lot of excitement swirling around since the announcement that the singer and model Mariya Nishiuchi would be appearing in the upcoming second season of the hit Netflix drama The Naked Director.
The drama charts the career of Japanese adult video impresario Toru Muranishi, whose ambitious productions revolutionized the industry in the 1980s and 1990s.
Nishiuchi will apparently play Mariko Itsuki (樹まり子), a busty stunner who notched up dozens of credits in porn releases in the late 1980s and early 1990s as well as several photo books.
Now the question is: How much will ...
The actress Mao Miyaji is to release a new photo book, her first in 10 years.
Aisansan (roughly, Bright Encounter) comes out at the end of December, with preview shots already published in the weekly magazine Friday.
Now aged 36 and firmly entering jukujo (MILF) territory, Mao Miyaji is something of an industry veteran.
After a string of major roles on TV in the 2000s, her career has been quieter for several years. She married a man seven years her senior in 2017.
She has done semi-nude photo shoots before (like below), where she showed off her slender body and butt, though her ...
We read a report in the UK's Guardian newspaper about the story of two gay men in Amagasaki, just west of Osaka, who were turned away from love hotels.
The male receptionist at one politely informed the couple that men were not allowed.
Not to be deterred from their tryst, the men tried another love hotel in the area, only to encounter an overtly homophobic attitude.
"Gay men don't use the facilities properly," they were told by the female receptionist without explanation.
The two men are in a civil partnership of the kind given de facto legal recognition by local governments in ...
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 ...
Japanese celebrity Dewi Sukarno (pictured) recently made the astonishing assertion on a TV show that "the foremost cause of infertility is abortion."
Though abortion is relatively common in Japan, it still carries a stigma and the social structures are not in place that you might expect, as Sukarno's ignorance demonstrates.
As Nikkei reported this month, rape survivors must get consent from their sexual predator to have an abortion.
One woman who was assaulted by an acquaintance was told by hospital after hospital that they could not proceed with an abortion without consent from the ...
As widely reported in the print and TV media this week, top Japanese porn star (or "sexy actress" as the mainstream media euphemism has it) Yuria Satomi was the victim of theft at her exclusive Nakameguro condo on the morning of October 26.
Two thieves posing as delivery men broke into her apartment after she answered the door. The AV actress was held down by one while the other ransacked her home in search of cash. They were apparently in phone contact with and receiving instructions from an accomplice outside, said Satomi, who feared for her life during the incident despite the men's ...
The transgender community does not get much mainstream attention in Japan as elsewhere, perhaps with the exception of Matsuko Deluxe, and the major debates over pronouns and gender definitions have not dominated public discourse in the same way as they have in other countries.
Nonetheless, transgender sexuality has a long and vibrant history in Japanese culture, and the rights and needs of trans people need to be heard.
Whether out of genuine agreement with this sentiment or out of woke cynicism that spotted a marketing opportunity, Pantene recently showcased the problems that transgender ...
It is common now to see Uber Eats cyclist couriers zipping around Tokyo with their black bags, delivering meals to people whatever the weather.
They tend to be young and healthy, the latter quality perhaps coming from the amount of time they spend on their bikes.
And some of them are hot. Like this lady, who delivers Uber Eats meals in the ward of Minato in central Tokyo.
Yu Maria is 26 and wears skinny leggings, a tight top that reveals her midriff, and no bra while she fulfills her orders.
If you look closely, you can see her nipples, as a Japanese TV show highlighted when doing a piece ...
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 ...
