Getting a side job where you can watch uncensored porn sounds like a male dream come true. But hang on. Uncensored porn? Oh, right, in Japan, due to bizarre adherence to a century-old regulation created to try to make Japan similar to "moral" Christian western nations, porn has genitals blurred out.
Technically, if you are selling porn in Japan that isn't pixellated, you are breaking the law. (And then it gets complicated if it's just a photo with genitals that is more "artistic" than pornographic, or if it's a mainstream film with full-frontal nudity -- all of which were also censored until ...
With the girls ever younger and the pressure to appear wrinkle-free and with the softest of skin that can stand up to iPad zooms, how do once popular Gravure models maintain a career after they hit 30?
Mayumi Ono (小野真弓) was never a mega star in the idol world. Her D-cup and girl-next-door made her look like a sexy TV presenter. She had fans but not legions of them.
We liked her before and treated ourselves to a selection of images for an Idol of the Week a couple of years ago.
So now she's 31, how can she give her thirteen-year career a second boost now that it has started to ...
In the past we've encountered a thief who targeted hostesses and their shoes, a violent lingerie bandit who literally tears his swag off the bodies of his victims, a bra theft addict, and even a 82-year-old panties thief.
Now comes another shocking tale of lingerie larceny...
The media has reported the indictment of a man in Sano, Tochigi Prefecture, for stealing more than 200 items of woman's underwear.
Tsutomu Kashiwase (44) apparently stole 217 items across the three prefectures of Tochigi, Gunma and Saitama. The Japanese countryside would seem to be populated by roaming ...
Our lady this week is the charming Yua Shinkawa (新川優愛), an actress and fashion model.
Born in 1993, Yua has a slinky body with the face of a girl you just might meet in a bar in Shibuya or Roppongi.
She was discovered while still a teenager and has been posing in lovely bikinis since a practically illegal age.
We expect great things from this young girl. Just don't let her loose on the streets of Tokyo any time soon. She won't last a ...
Tenga, still one of our favorite brands of Japanese sex toys because they look so good, have released a new mini series of their bestselling early masterpiece, the Tenga Cup.
The new SD Tenga Cups are three onacups that are slightly shorter than usual so you can get a better thrust, hitting the end more easily like you are pushing into a tight Japanese girl's pussy.
Obviously this is great for any guy who finds the other cups a little too roomy but regardless of your own sense of proportion, we have tested them out and can assure you that the new size means more effective thrusting ...
Last night in the pouring rain saw the Japan Adult Awards held in Tokyo.
The annual prizes are the Japanese porn industry's chance to pat itself on the back and rewards its top actresses with trinkets for their efforts over the past year.
Last year's winners include Haruki Sato for best actress and Akari Hoshino in the jukujo category.
The much-coveted Best Actress prize was taken home by Yui Hatano, who made her debut way back in 2008.
While we were rooting for Mei Hayama in the Best Newcomer Award, she sadly lost out to Marina Shirashi (below left). The jukujo award was won ...
It was announced at a press conference yesterday (March 4th) that idol super group AKB48 is now recruiting a new member. Nothing new in that. The difference is that the new girl will be over 30!
For a limited time only (April 12th to August 31st), the new 30-plus girl will join the youthful ranks of Japan's largest money-spinning musical machine.
Applications for the Otona AKB48 Auditions (Adult AKB48 Auditions) are now open and close on March 28th. Anyone can apply as long as they are over 30; you can be married or single, professional or a total amateur.
So do you think we can ...
One of the most slippery and ambiguous of terms in Japanese sexuality, otoko no ko sounds like the word for "boy" but is written with in hiragana and with a final character that usually means "daughter" or "girl". In the simplest of definitions, it's a type of cross-dressing where boys dress up as girls.
This doesn't mean you are a shemale or a transexual in the western way of thinking, but it does bend the usual lines between gender, sexuality and appearance.
There are lots of clothes for cross-dressing cosplay, including stockings, bras and dresses, negligees and even wigs. ...
A police officer from Kagawa Prefecture has been arrested for using his smartphone to photograph up the skirt of a female, disguising the camera underneath a legging that he was wearing so as not to contaminate a crime scene.
Mitsuru Higashiyama (35) was arrested in January and on February 28th it was announced that he was suspended for three months. He has also voluntarily resigned from his post.
Higashiyama had apparently used the same contraption at four places between February 2013 and January this year on five separate women.
"It was to satisfy my sexual appetites," he has ...
A researcher from University of Tsukuba has spent many valuable hours developing a way to make otaku dreams come true.
This system has been developed officially for "hospital patients" and it basically allows you to "sleep next to" a virtual character.
Scientists being the geeks they are, the explanatory images for the system naturally use Hatsune Miku as an example, as images doing the rounds on Japanese Twitter show.
This actually the same as the Hatsune Miku app/eye-pad device we wrote about at the end of last year.
Using the Oculus Rift headset for the head-mounted ...
