Durex, the condom brand, have an interest in things sexual.
This doesn't just mean marketing their prophylactic, it also means studying global sex habits.
From Durex's Sexual Wellbeing Survey (2007/2008) and Face of Global Sex (2012), they gained some insights into international bedroom tendencies among heterosexual couples.
The Japan results intrigued us...
The main conclusion is that apparently people in Japan are very unhappy with their sex lives.
Japan was the only country where more people said they were dissatisfied with their sex lives than satisfied.

There are fetishes and then there are fetishes. This is one of those extreme ones.
An Osaka taxi driver has been arrested for drugging a female passenger. We are familiar with unpleasant tales of taxi drivers and female passengers, but this is something new.
Toshihiko Nishi (41) was arrested on May 7th on suspicion of giving a passenger snacks laced with a powerful diuretic. He then steadfastly refused to let the passenger out even as her situation grew more and more desperate.
Nishi has apparently admitted the charges and said the reason was he gets sexually aroused by women displaying ...
Not all Japanese sex toys are for the boys, you know.
The Atushi Japanese Male Body Dildo is a flatbed-style torso body dildo. It gives you a muscular, sexy Japanese man's chest as well as an erect cock and balls for you to ride.
The title is a cheeky reference to Atsushi, the hunky guy from the idol band EXILE. Japanese sex toys often use wordplay and parody in their titles, often riding along a thin legal line in the process. We wonder what the real Atsushi would think of this tribute?
Actually, though, this is for the boys as much as the girls, since there is an anal hole ...
At just under 18 years old.
At least, the national average is 17.7 years old for when women in Japan get their first kiss, according to a new survey by LC Love Cosmetic.
In April this year the researchers asked 2,350 women from all over Japan and compiled the results into a handy map.
The kinkiest ladies, the ones most keen to get started on their smooching careers, hail from Tokyo (#1) at 16.3 years old, chilly Akita (#2) in the north at 16.6 years old, and then warm but typhoon-struck Nagasaki (#3) in the south at 16.7 years old.
In these prefectures, first and second ...
We all know that plastic surgery is a dirty secret in Japan and an open practice in Korea.
But what about China?
Well, here's a demonstration of the perils of tampering too much with with what nature gives you.
Fashion model Li Ying Zhi has had some work done on her face, especially her chin, as can be witnessed by comparing her appearance in 2012 with a recent one in 2014.
This is the stunner in 2012 at the Beijing Motor Show, promoting BMW.
But these days she looks rather different (admittedly the quality of the images is also somewhat to blame for the ...
Where to start with a girl like Kyoko?
Kyoko Fukada (深田恭子), born 1982, is an actress, model and sometime singer, known for her cute looks and very nice chest.
Though she has gone way beyond the age of most active gravure idols, she still maintains her popularity with the boys and the girls with her maturing looks and ravishing body. Recent photo shoots are ample evidence of this.
We've included a good selection of some older as well as recent pictures here.
Still ...
Good old Ikebukuro. That big hub of sleaze. The last gateway of Tokyo before the descent into the burbs of Saitama et al has more than its fair share of sex clubs and Chinese hookers prowling the streets.
And now comes news that three years ago a 24-year-old man had sex with a 14-year-old junior high school girl in a love hotel in Ikebukuro. Japanese schoolgirls in trysts with older guys in Ikebukuro... Why does this not surprise?
But it gets better.
The unemployed Shun Ikeda has been arrested recently not only for committing indecent acts with a minor in the summer of 2011 but ...
Sometimes models and actresses get a little bit of help to look better and further their career.
But this is an extreme case.
Japanese porn star Rina Nanase/Rumi Kanda has been having a series of plastic surgery operations to her eyes, nose and chin because she believes having a very spade-like look makes her look cuter.
Similarly to how former curvy gravure idol Yuuri Morishita has turned her face into a weird shape, Rina/Rumi has also become not so much "glamorous" as emaciated.
The result? See for yourselves. She looks like an alien or even Dobby from Harry Potter.
She has also been ...
This is a question we often ask ourselves about Japanese pornography.
With tens of thousands of actresses working in the industry, said to be the biggest in the world, which star has appeared in the most titles?
Apparently we weren't alone in wondering this, since some Japanese netizens have done the maths. Naturally the results steer older since the longer a career, the more titles you would have under your belt... though we never have any objections to a sexy Japanese MILF or two!
1. Yumi Kazuma (1,646 films)
2. Tsubomi (1,370 films)
3. Rio Hamasaki (1,201 films)
4. Reiko ...
Ass ass ass. We love asses. We love to look at them, to touch them and to kiss them.
But what about smelling them? Especially the anus? Well, sure. And some people REALLY like this, if you know what I mean.
Enough for Tama Toys to come along and create another one of the incredible replica smell fetish products with this Schoolgirl Real Anal Smell Bottle.
These kinds of special fragrance products are used by people on masturbators and sex toys, or added to sex dolls, clothes or just onto hands or a body. Basically when the fetish is this strong, the ball is wide open for what you can ...
