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 ...
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 ...
A 19-year-old Japanese college student has posted nude selfies online showing off her absolutely stunning bust.
Apparently a nursing student -- imagine this beauty as your nurse in hospital one day! -- she has the breasts of a porn star.
While she hides her face behind a mask, this being the Covid era, she is clearly very pretty. We love her pale skin, too.
She also posted some shots showing off the rest of her slim body.
And before you ask about her account, it seems it was deleted. So this is all we have to share, but what sheer joy it ...
Airi Rissen (立仙愛理) might well be one of the lesser-known idols in the AKB48 ranks, but that may change soon.
The 21-year-old from AKB48 Team 8 and Kochi Prefecture representative was doing a live broadcast online while dressed in a sailor school uniform. That alone would probably send fans into raptures, but then she decided to stand up.
Since she was wearing a skirt, fans were treated to a glimpse of the holy grail: her white panties.
Oh, panchira. The treasured upskirt view of a woman's panties. As sought-after as the "real thing" (i.e., what's underneath those panties) by some. ...
What is an "ergonomic masturbator"? Well, it might look something like this stunner from G-Project.
The Hon-Mono Hard Onahole has all the best things we want in a masturbator toy: a hard, tight tunnel with a curving design to rub the glans just the right way, combined with a realistically textured skin that reduces odor and stickiness.
No discerning onahole connoisseur would expect less from a decently priced toy.
So what's new? Grip.
The Hon-Mono Hard Onahole has awesome finger grooves integrated into the exterior of the toy, allowing you to hold it better with either one hand or ...
The gravure idol Hikaru Aoyama (青山ひかる) is busty even by the standards of her busty cohorts in the industry: she apparently has an I cup.
Now the 27-year-old is releasing her first photo book -- surprisingly she has not made one before, despite being one of the best-known gradols and a regular in the weeklies over the course of her seven-year career -- and has generously rewarded fans yearning to see more of her flesh with a series of semi-nude shots that really show off as much of her body as possible without actually revealing nipples or bush.
Tactfully placed hands and even ...
