Tenga's "soft edition" update to its Tenga Spinner sex toy is awesome enough in its own right. And then there's Tenga typically fun and inventive promotion for it.
Tenga, known as the Apple of the Japanese adult industry, created a fake shopping channel ad for the toy, whereby a woman seems to be selling the "Spinner spiral motion pleasure gear" item converted into an inflatable, Tenga-branded sleeping bag.
As you might expect from the transparent design of the Spinner, this sleeping bag is also completely see-through. And like the Spinner, you can slide yourself inside it for ultimate ...
There was quite a lot of stir about the Japanese teen drama River's Edge when it came out in local movie theaters early 2018 because it featured the first nude sex scenes with popular actress Fumi Nikaido.
The nudity showed off Fumi's butt and breasts in a bed scene.
We already showcased the merits of that nudity. There is actually another sex scene -- outside this time -- and you get to see Fumi's breasts again.
However, the really good sex scenes are courtesy of lesser-known actress Shiori Doi, who plays the friend with whom Fumi's character's lover is cheating in -- mainly because she ...
Ero-manga (erotic manga comics) is associated with sex, of course, but not just any old sex. Great sex. Strange sex. Fetishes. And, let's be frank, non-consensual sex.
But is that reputation justified? How much sex in ero-manga is actually non-consensual?
At the recent Niconico Chokaigi event, statistician Midori Makita presented a list of different ero-manga magazines along with the results of a survey examining what percentage of the sex they portray is non-consensual or consensual.
Here is the breakdown (first percentage is non-consensual; second is consensual):
Angel Club: ...
Aya Omasa and Mariko Shinoda are shown smooching in the recently broadcast third episode of the NHK television drama series Mistresses.
The lingering lesbian kiss scene apparently lasted 40 seconds. Fans were on hand to count them all. Mariko seduces Aya by stroking her face and going in for the kiss. Aya then reciprocates passionately.
It's pure bliss to watch.
The series (a remake of a British show from the late 2000s) also stars hot jukujo actresses Kyoko Hasegawa and Miki Mizuno as well as Hyunri and gravure model Miwako Kakei.
Fans of Aya Omasa are surely already ...
Girlfriend and boyfriend "rental" services are one of those "wacky Japan" narrative favorites, though they do actually exist. They are also not as crazy or sleazy as they might sound -- after all, if you want someone to date and then sleep with, there are countless prostitution services or "compensated dating" clubs out there.
So what's different about this kind of rental service? What do you get for your money?
Asian Boss, the awesome YouTube channel behind interviews with porn stars Emiri Okazaki and Taka Kato, tried out one service to demonstrate what it is like.
Host (and handsome ...
The Reiwa era has got off to a bang in some ways. For starters, the popular gravure idol and actress Mai Hakase announced her marriage.
The documents were submitted to a ward office in Tokyo on May 1st, the inaugural day of the new Reiwa era.
They have been dating for just ten months, which will surely lead to speculation that 32-year-old Mai is pregnant, though nothing of the sort has been announced.
The man is apparently a doctor and three years older than the G-cup goddess.
Congratulations, Mai, though we can't help but feel sad that someone got to you before us!
Continuing this ...
It's May 1st, the inaugural day of the new Reiwa era. And what better time to take a gander at some old porn from this cache of images recently shared online?
Strictly speaking, we reckon these adult magazines come from the Showa period, which ended in 1989, rather than the past three decades of Heisei, but there might be some overlap. Online searches seem to reveal nothing, so they are probably quite obscure.
We just love the titles: from "Visual Communication Magazine for Young Adalt" (sic) and "Fucky-up" (sic) to "Rape me" and "Sexual Les Girls." The shoots themselves range from the ...
Today is the final day of Heisei. As the emperor abdicates this afternoon, we are remembering the past three decades and all those lovely ladies that have passed through our lives (in actuality or through the lens of gravure and adult video).
We should put together a proper "adult Heisei" post soon but it might be too mammoth an undertaking. In the meantime, we are recalling recent good times and looking forward to the future with these two ladies.
The dancer and model Karen Kimijima has made a comeback since her drug arrest in early 2018, which is a very fine thing because she has frankly ...
The Japanese adult industry loves to be topical, hence the large number of up-to-date parodies you can see in both porn and toys.
That being said, we haven't so far seen anything notable about the imminent end of the Heisei period and the start of the Reiwa era on May 1st. Perhaps we just haven't looked hard enough. Please share in the comments any ones you have spotted.
Either way, we did find this great (and useful) example: the Heisei and Reiwa Lubricants.
As the name suggests, these recently released lubes from top adult manufacturer SSI are inspired by the two Japanese era names. ...
We stumbled upon this great Twitter feed detailing a report by Shinbunka, the publishing industry trade journal in Japan, about the decline of the much-loved porn magazine vending machine. It also cites from an interview with the photographer Tetsuya Kurosawa, who has documented the vending machines (visiting some 500 locations along the way!).
It's true, we haven't seen one for many a moon. Here's why.
At the peak of the adult vending machine boom, there were some 50,000 machines nationwide in the 1970s. That lofty number has been reduced to a mere fraction now.
What are left are often ...
