Condoms in Japan are an underused breed, judging by the rampant venereal disease and unplanned pregnancies.
As such, condom brands try all kinds of wacky campaigns to get young men and women interested in using their products.
This also includes free giveaways. Earlier this year, Tenga gave away complimentary condoms to newly enfranchised voters at the House of Councillors election.
You might be forgiven for thinking that otaku are the demographic with the least need for contraception in their lives, but you would be wrong. That is, if Comiket is to be believed.

What's better than getting a handjob from someone else? Getting jerked off by someone else while they use two hands!
That's the beguiling idea behind the Tekokikko Double Handjob Masturbator, which is a sequel of sorts to the Tekoki Musume Handjob Daughter.
Imagine a cute Japanese minx wrapping both her hands around your erect member and jerking you off until you cum in her face.
It's not just a sculptural gimmick, though. The inner design of the hands has been very carefully planned.
As Kanojo Toys says, "the inside of her palms are fitted with the folds and nubs ...
One of our ongoing preoccupations is what happens to gravure and music idols after they stop being famous. Once they have faded into obscurity, how do they survive? Get married and become homemakers? Go into hostessing or even prostitution? Or a totally different line of work?
Some evidently advance into careers in AV.
We also previously looked at the case of Yuka Kosaka, who now runs a nursery school in Chiba.
Others make the unexpected leap into mainstream politics.
Here is another cautionary tale.
The tarento Hanako Takigawa is only 28 but already has had a troubled, up-and-down ...
It's the video that launched a thousand imitators (and counting).
Pikotaro's PPAP (Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen) video made "PPAP" one of the buzzwords of the year and inspired a whole meme industry.
No doubt it will blow over in a few weeks' time.
Until them we can enjoy the variations, not least this eye-opening one by gravure idol Jun Amaki.
The busty gal is best known for her "I cup" chest and being a petite 148cm. That's quite a combination. She's also a former member of the masked idols group Kamen Joshi.
She has created a version of Pikotaro's PPAP ...
The Crawler in the Attic is a 2016 soft-core porn film based on the frequently adapted 1925 novel by erotic mystery writer Edogawa Rampo. Directed by Shoji Kubota, the plot concerns a private detective investigating the love triangle between a rich family's daughter, her fiancé, and his lover.
The film stars Yuki Mamiya (Yuki Mogami), demonstrating her continued enthusiasm for doing nude sex scenes. While not as wild as her bondage-themed outing in Sweet Whip, there is still a lot of Yuki's radiant flesh on display here, especially her cute breasts and also some bush. Stunning ...
Japan's futanari fetish just got a new toy to gratify all those urges that sadly can't be easily satisfied in real life.
As we know, futanari are not newhalf transgender women or josou cross-dressers. The key difference is that they are genuine hermaphrodites with both sex organs. As such, futanari is normally relegated to the world of anime, eroge and adult manga, or AV with carefully placed dildos so the girls seem to have cocks.
The Ryosei Guyu Onapet Futanari Onahole has everything you could want -- and it fits in the palm of your hand.
The name literally means "hermaphrodite ...
A new low-budget dramedy called Suki demo nai kuseni (Even though I don't like you) stars a "mysterious" actress called Riko, about whom almost nothing is known.
One thing is certain, though: she is very willing to shed her clothes for her craft. And very well she does at it, too, as the lengthy, explicit sex scenes attest.
See her nipples get fingered, watch her ride in the lap of a lucky guy, and peep in while she get head.
In a rare move, there is even full-frontal nudity that doesn't seem to be ...
We reported earlier this year about the AV debut of actress and model Anri Sakaguchi.
To appear in "What a day!!" the 25-year-old Sakaguchi (now going by just "Anri") is reportedly getting paid ¥120 million -- a suspiciously high figure considering she is a B-list celebrity.
She made her JAV debut on the Muteki label, which specializes in these kinds of career switchovers from gravure, music idol or mainstream entertainment. Past successes include with Yua Mikami/Momona Kito and Shoko Takahashi/Takasaki.
Most of these stars, though, do one or just a small number AV releases before ...
Tenga has produced a new commercial for its Iroha vibrator series.
DJ and model Culumi Nakada (Kurumi Nakata) stars in the ad, which specifically features the sleek black Yorukujira ("night whale") vibe from the Iroha Plus line.
It shows a "typical" Sunday for a Japanese girl, relaxing at home with a long bath and then enjoying a solo session with her personal Tenga Iroha.
It claims that using a vibrator like the Iroha will release "brain waves" and help make you think better after your tension is released. Tenga actually teamed up with a neuroscientist to measure brain activity after ...
Japanese TV is not known for its quality but it at least never fails to impress with its latest nude novelties or risque antics.
Now a TV show has appeared featuring gravure idols wearing sexy bikinis. Nothing new about that. There are even shows about gravure idol in armor.
But these are "failed" gravure idols, ladies who haven't made it big (yet). The idea is that the minor idols make their last grasp at fame on the show, wearing everything from noren (the low curtains that hang over entrances in Japan) to toilet paper, kagami mochi (a New Year decorative rice cake) or even lids of ...
