A survey by Himawari Life Insurance, ostensibly related to its breast cancer awareness efforts, asked 1,000 Japanese women (250 each in their twenties, thirties, forties, and fifties) about their breasts.
Asked to rate their own breasts on a scale of 1 to 100, the average was 46.1, which we find rather disappointing.
Even more unequivocal, however, was the response to the most important question in the survey: Do you like your breasts?
I like them: 4.8%
I kinda like them: 16.3%
I don't like them very much: 25.5%
I don't like them at all: 19%
I neither like nor dislike ...
It's a stereotype but there is some truth to it: a foreign male who's below average can come to Japan and get himself an above-average lady, if not several (sometimes even at once). It all depends how determined and sleazy he wants to be, or how savvy he is at using the tools at his disposal (certain bars and clubs, dating sites and apps).
From students to coworkers, "language exchanges," and random girls on the street, there's a lot of options out there if you have the time and energy, and, naturally, the inclination.
It goes without saying that you will have even more dating and ...
It's amazing to think that it is now a full decade since Tenga Eggs burst into our forlorn lives to brighten us up and transform the way we thought of adult toys (and eggs).
Known (at least to us) as the Apple of the Japanese sex toys industry, Tenga's series of Eggs can be wrapped around your erect member to caress your glans and shaft gently and intimately. The various Eggs feature different inner designs with their distinct texture and curves, while the Eggs are thin enough that you can feel the grip of your hands as you get to work.
Over the years, Tenga has released further ...
Following the high-profile cancellation of the latest "Futomomo" thighs fetish exhibition, another exhibition has run afoul of Ikebukuro Marui department store this month.
Mixing photography and illustration, the annual Girls' Love (yuri) (as opposed to Boys' Love) fetish exhibition was set to run from March 17th to March 25th at the Ikebukuro branch of Marui. The "Yuri Exhibition" event has now been cancelled for reasons that are not yet fully clear. The organizers (who include subculture store Village Vanguard) claim that it has now become "difficult" for the exhibitors to display and ...
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, as they say.
Late last year there was some controversy about a Japanese schoolgirl YouTuber who offered "free oppai" breast gropes to men in Shibuya.
Well, another Japanese schoolgirl went and did the same thing.
A 16-year-old schoolgirl wearing a bunny girl costume and carrying a sketchbook that said "Free Oppai" invited passersby in Hachiko in Shibuya to touch her breasts.
This time, though, it's more serious, and police are cracking down in order to set an example. The anonymous schoolgirl's case was sent to the prosecutors on March ...
For those readers who don't have a Netflix subscription or missed the publicity, they may not have seen The Outsider, in which Jared Leto plays the titular character who becomes involved in the Yakuza in postwar Japan.
Well, judging by the tepid response the film has attracted so far, you may not want to see it -- unless, that is, you count yourself among beautiful co-star Shioli Kutsuna's legions of fans and want to see her naked.
The lovely, innocent-looking Shioli Kutsuna (or Shiori Kutsuna) gets as close to actual nudity as she ever has (as far as we know). Incidentally, Kutsuna is ...
Are you an ass guy? Then you're gonna love this.
Following the immense popularity of our previous lingering look at the under-appreciated charms of Japanese girls' butts, here is an update with some new favorites.
We made selections from currently active gravure idols, adult video stars, actresses, and celebrities. From the plump to the curvy, the flat and cute, the pert and big, we hope there's something for everyone here.
For more examples, check out our "butt" posts on Tumblr.
As always, drop other ideas and suggestions into the comments!

We love it when a plan comes together.
So many adult video debuts go unnoticed and the lady struggles to the end of her short contract without fanfare, before, if she's lucky, switching agency and professional name to try again under a new alias, or leaving the industry. Some, such as Noa Takeuchi recently, even disappear entirely.
A few, however, attract amazing buzz from the start. This often includes celebrities making much-trumpeted moves into porn, such as Miu Nakamura, Miyako Akane, and Mero Imai. But sometimes there are some beauties who get everyone excited
One such is Suzu Honjo, ...
Following the initial buzz, the adult implications for virtual reality in Japan have not yet quite lived up to the hype.
We were amused to see the recent demonstration by idol Kanna Hashimoto of a "4D goggles" where a robotic arm feeds the wearer a candy while watching Hashimoto do the same virtually. Otherwise there has been a lack of major new projects, unless they simply passed under our radar that was too clogged with AV and onaholes to notice.
But this is fun -- and perhaps something that only the minds of Akihabara could have conceived. It's a virtual reality experience of dining ...
It's been a while since we wrote about K-pop, but this isn't just any Korean music group. In fact, it's not even Korean at all. Honey Popcorn comprises entirely Japanese adult video idols -- but who used to be music idols. Confused? Let us explain.
Moreover, the lineup includes one of the top names in Japanese porn right now: none other than former SKE48 idol Yua Mikami (Momona Kito).
The other two ladies in Honey Popcorn are Miko Matsuda and Moko Sakura. Those names may not be immediately familiar to readers, but their former professional monikers probably are.
Risako Okada is a ...
