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 ...

Female athletes will receive better protection against voyeuristic photography while competing, the Japanese Olympic Committee has said. Working in partnership with the Japan Sport Association and All Japan High School Athletic Federation, the JOC is preparing concrete steps to prevent exploitative photos being taken and shared of athletes. Dressed in clothing designed to help them do their best in their competition, female sports athletes are easy prey for snappers, who can use a lens to zoom in on breasts and buttocks. Such images may then be shared online with offensive captions. This is ...

For years it has been notoriously difficult to get hold of: the morning-after pill. In Japan, for a woman to receive emergency contraception, she has to go to a doctor and get a prescription. And it's expensive, too. But women have been campaigning for years to remove the barriers blocking easy access to the morning-after pill, which is surely one of the reasons for so many shotgun weddings in Japan (including among many prominent celebrities). The current system is condemned as shaming and discriminatory, and is particularly a problem for victims of sexual assault, whose treatment by ...

Top Japanese porn producer Soft on Demand has opened its mini theme park complex in Kabukicho, Tokyo, which, despite recent gentrification, remains one of the centers of the adult and sex industry.

They say that television is fake and this story may not convince you otherwise. Netizens have exposed the beautiful woman who is supposedly an instructor at the Uzumasa Driving School in Kyoto as a gravure model. Featured on a Japanese TV show as Aimi Yoshikawa (吉川愛未, not to be confused with Aimi Yoshikawa 吉川あいみ, the retired porn star), ostensibly because the driving school is covered by the government incentives aimed at encouraging domestic trips, this Aimi was, in fact, none other than Aimi (あいみ), a mononymous gradol much-admired for her svelte ...

Since apparently no one in Japan is getting married, having kids, or even having sex -- if you believe the media headlines -- perhaps we should take note of this cautionary tale of a woman who wanted to produce offspring without the customary hassle of finding a willing or capable partner. Starting a family is easy with a sperm donor, right? But what if you don't want to go through an expensive service or institution? Social media can help you out, right? Well, that's what one woman in her thirties thought, reports the Asahi. She searched Twitter for potential sperm donors and found a man ...

Panchira fans will be disappointed with the new TV adaptation of Wandering Witch -- The Journey of Elaina. Based on the popular light novel series and its manga version, the anime is one of the highlights of the fall TV season in Japan. But its original creator wants to keep it clean and accessible to a range of age groups. And this means no panty shots. In an interview with anime magazine Newtype, Jougi Shiraishi talked about the conditions he set for the anime production. "The only request I made was 'Please do not, under any circumstances, show [the characters'] underwear.' I'd like ...

Talk about party poopers. The cops in Osaka have arrested a 62-year-old man for violations of prostitution laws after they found seven men and women naked in his home. On the night of October 3, as widely reported in the Japanese media, police raided his home, where the man has been running an orgy party service for years. The five men (aged between their thirties and fifties) and two women (in their thirties) were arrested for indecent exposure, though later released. No charges were reported against them. The organizer, Yoshihiro Murakami, admits to the allegations against him. Men paid ...
