Celebrate Mother's Day, which is fast approaching, with some Japanese MILFs and adult toys.
If you can't get your hands on an actual Japanese MILF or jukujo, a quick online search should connect you with the wealth of porn out there that satisfies that kink.
And then there's all the MILF-themed adult toys out there on the market.
We mention this because there's never been a better time to shop for such toys: our friends at Kanojo Toys, the largest and widest selection of Japanese adult goods online, is holding a week-long sale for Mother's Day.

For the most part in Japan, prostitution is not visible.
Sure, if you can understand the euphemism and codes in the signage, you can see fuzoku brothels everywhere, normally in the form of places where you can go for "introductions" to sex workers.
But though call girls are visible entering and leaving love hotels, or you might seem female escorts waiting for a car or sitting in a vehicle outside a love hotel, it's relatively rare to see streetwalkers in Tokyo -- as in, actual prostitutes hanging around outside and trying to pick up clients (known as tachinbo in Japanese).
There are ...
Just a few days ago, we were celebrating the return to gravure of Rika Adachi and ex-AKB idol Haruna Kojima, and now comes news of another gravure homecoming (of sorts). Clearly 'tis the season for it. The weather is certainly hot enough, at least in Tokyo.
Another AKB48 alumna who has moved on to acting and fashion modeling in subsequent years, Mariya Nagao, is dipping her very delightful toe back into gravure.
Though she has continued to do lingerie shoots, she doesn't do full-blown gravure as much as she used to do (though she did do a shoot for Friday in February and for Spa in ...
The female armpit is one of the most sensual parts of a woman, even if it does languish in the shadow of other more prominent, more overtly sexy body parts like breasts and buttocks.
Whereas a man's armpit will often be hairy and smelly, a woman's is smooth and supremely lickable -- an extension of her arm and the node leading to her chest and side that all demand your kisses and caresses.
Such idealistic sentiments aside (that admittedly ignore the reality of personal hygiene and grooming -- and not armpits are shaved, even top Japanese porn stars used to have hairy armpits), paying ...
Let's do a quiz. How well do you know your Japanese porn stars? Can you identify an adult video performer just from close-ups of their body parts?
The pics show only key parts of the JAV performer's naked body (namely, breasts, butt, bush, etc.). No faces, natch.
The "quiz" has been doing the rounds on the Japanese interwebs recently and we thought we would share it with readers so they can try it for themselves.
If we're honest, we think this is quite hard.
Scroll slowly to avoid showing the answer before you're ready to check!
Here's the first question.
So who is it?
The answer is ...
We've written before about Yunana, the young female fan of postwar Showa-era love hotels who posts photos of her outings (alone) to these bygone dens of romance and sex.
It seems Yunana's following has continued to grow, since she has just released a book showcasing her work.
The book's title, In Search of the Revolving Bed, is a reference to perhaps the most famous love hotel room gimmick that is actually quite a rarity (it became illegal to install new ones after the law changed in 1985).
Now aged 26, the love hotel enthusiast was recently interviewed by Bunshun about her activities, ...
In the fast and furious world of gravure, it feels like every month, if not every week, brings a newcomer. Many debut, then quickly disappear. A lucky few endure and build careers.
But every month also seems to bring a gravure comeback of sorts. In mid-April, for instance, we celebrated the return of former AKB48 Haruna Kojima to gravure after years of focusing on fashion retail.
And so we are very pleased to welcome back Rika Adachi, who has recently done a stunning cover shoot for an issue of Weekly Playboy (April 24) with a sunny bikini theme that has us yearning for the summer to kick ...
Japan is a great nation of customizers, adapters, and modifiers. You can see it in the cuisine, which is often a fusion of different influences and turned into something new.
It's also evident in various subcultures.
Though original content is common too, Doujinshi (privately printed/bound magazines and manga) are sometimes a type of fan fiction, where people make their own versions of popular professional manga and anime.
Cosplay is similarly derivative. Fans dress up as their favorite characters and put a new spin on the franchise.
But when does derivation go too far? When it's ...
How to turn Japanese women on? Or even, how to turn just any women on?
This is a question that keeps us up at night.
Fortunately, there's plenty of advice out there if you know where to look.
And one such source of pearls of sexual wisdom has been added to the mix in the form of this new YouTube video.
Over the course of roughly 12 and a half minutes, the male and female hosts share five tips. It's in a mix of Japanese and English, but with English subtitles throughout.
The video is made by standup comedian Meshida and Eri Natsume, a sex counselor who has recently begun posting online ...
Gravure idol, YouTuber, and keen plastic model maker Umi Shinonome delighted us with her naked butt in her debut photo book released last year.
Give the people what they want. It's an old adage but always a winner.
It seems that Shinonome is listening because she's generously giving us more of the same (and some nice side boob) with her follow-up photo book, You Love the Sea (Umi), which is released this week in Japan.
The book already entered a second print run prior to release. Her 2022 debut also went through several printings.
Here are a few other highlights from the new photo ...
