Be careful of online dating.
That's the lesson to be learnt here after police busted DEAiBBS, a Japanese dating site started in 2005 and which has been "creative" with its user profiles for years.
Apparently it was helping 120,000 lonely Japanese singles hook up -- but actually some 80% of the users weren't even real, it seems.
Some unfortunate victims spent small fortunes pursuing the site as a path to romance. One 70-year old man used 10 million yen (more than $100,000); a 30-year old woman wasted 20 million (over $200,000) yen!
A simple Google search brings up lots of ...
Shotacon or Shotaro complex (正太郎コンプレックス) is a tricky subject to get into and we have been hesitating for a while, since we know it might get a harsh response from some.
On the surface it looks like a gay fantasy, describing an attraction to young boys and their wily charms.
But nothing is quite so straightforward.
We often bang on about this but ambiguity is such a strong part of Japanese erotica -- there are no clear definitions.
Japanese fans of shotacon are probably not definable just as "gay" and in fact much of the fantasy seems to involve boys who are possibly ...
Continuing on from the maelstrom that engulfed Tomomi Kasai's much-hyped photo book release, publisher Kodansha has made a formal apology for the controversial image of a young foreign boy clasping the naked bust of a smiling Tomomi.
"The cause was our checking system for publishing did not get to it," they explained.
Perhaps the big yen signs in front of their eyes, branded there by the AKB management, prevented them from seeing the incredible bizarreness of the image.
Kodansha also publishes Young Magazine, which was set to print a big ad for the photo book with the provocative ...
Kanagawa prefecture education authorities announced this week that a male teacher aged fifty-five had been given a six-month suspension from his duties. The same teacher also resigned at the same time.
The educator was responsible for music clubs at his school but he apparently went beyond his remit for handling extracurricular activities.
Between August and October last year he continuously fondled and cuddled two music club members.
In particular, to one of them he confessed: "You are the only woman in my life."
He also played her piano tunes he had composed himself, ...
Tokyo Auto Salon 2013 held the award ceremony for the Japan Race Queen Award last Friday, celebrating the best in the sexy girls who promote cars at automobile events.
One of the winners was Noa Mizutani, known for her Rei Ayanami cosplay.
Noa was one of five girls chosen from over 400 for prizes, as voted for by fans.
The Grand Prix, though, was claimed by Airi ...
Sometimes a Japanese sex doll can play a serious therapeutic role.
Take this tale of a widower who does the JAV equivalent of a Pinocchio when he creates a love doll in the image of his late wife.
Imouto Rin is a sex doll porn film from Soft on Demand.
What might sound like a strange idea -- a porno about a guy having long sex with a doll -- is actually rather tender and sweet.
True, it's rather one-way, but that doesn't mean it isn't committed and quite sweet.
Coming in at just over an hour, we were thoroughly enthralled by this romantic ...
Hyogo prefecture police this month announced the arrest of three young boys aged between 14 and 17 on suspicion of forcing a girl to dress up as Santa and walk around town.
The bizarre crime in Himeji City has already been acknowledged by the arrested trio.
"Our jokes went too far," they said.
The four were apparently a group of friends who used to hang out together. They bought a revealing (and no doubt cold) Santa costume showing the shoulders and legs from a local store, and made the high schoolgirl dress up in it and parade around for three hours in the chilly afternoon of ...
After a brouhaha that erupted in the last days, including Young Magazine's latest issue being shunted to the next week, the controversy over the Tomomi Kasai photo book continues.
Now Kodansha, who also publish Young Magazine, has announced that the photo book won't be going on sale as planned on February 4th.
Presumably they will pulp the copies and re-print it without the problematic photo.
The provocative image featured Tomomi with her luscious bust bare, with the nipples cupped and covered from behind by a seemingly naked foreign infant.
Certainly people seemed pretty ...
Kodansha, which had planned to put the latest issue of Young Magazine on sale tomorrow (January 12), has been forced to postpone the publishing date to January 21st.
Why? Because it suddenly realised that an ad page announcing a new photo book for Tomomi Kasai, soon to leave AKB48 formally and concentrate on her solo career, was "inappropriate".
Yes, Tomomi and her "hand bra" poses are too sexy for Kodansha (admittedly, the "hands" are not Tomomi's but those of a young boy). The issue would have featured Kasai heavily, including on the cover.
Instead, the next issue will appear ...
Worried what your family might find if you were to suddenly pop your clogs?
Those intimate pictures of you and your ex you keep stashed under the book case?
How about over 1,000 adult movie titles?
Yes, this formidable collection was discussed in the possessions of a former elmentary school teacher, according to the accounts provided by a certain Ryuichi Yoshida, well versed in clearing up after people pass away. It must have been a real treasure trove of classic porn!
Yoshida runs a company that sorts out the possessions of dead people, such as when the family don't want to ...
