A survey has found that the number of high school students who have never kissed someone had increased.
The numbers of high schoolers with experience of kissing or sex is now around half of what it was in the early 2000s.
The Japanese Association for Sex Education's survey, which it carries out diligently every six years, investigates frequency of physical intimacy among high school students. The data sample was 12,562 students, including 4,321 high schoolers and 3,614 university students.
Only 22.8% of male high school students (roughly one in five) said they had kissed someone, which is ...
We are enjoying the current Korean TV show Queen Woo, which is available on Paramount+ internationally -- and quite steamy in places.
Don't be put off by the historical setting. This is a series with a modern sensibility, especially when it comes to portraying intimacy.
Oh Ha-nee, who also has several nude scenes in A Special Lady (2017), appears in a fairly explicit lesbian sex scenes with Jung Yoo-mi (Jung Yu-mi -- or is it Jeong Yu-mi? Sources seem confused over whether it is Jung or Jeong, who are different actresses but about the same age), who plays the queen's older ...
Say the word "feminist" to a young Japanese guy and you may be surprised by the negative reaction you get. This is partly because the word in Japanese has a stronger connotation, implying what we might call a radical feminist in English.
Nonetheless, anti-feminist attitudes can be surprisingly ingrained.
And while we might ascribe this to the old geezers who run the country as the senior figures in the civil service and government, and as the board members and executives at major corporations, the one survey has found that a significant number of Generation Z men also have reservations ...
Weekly Playboy has collaborated with three of the hottest gravure idols of the moment for a lineup of T-shirts produced by sneaker brand KIKS TYO.
The resulting photo shoots are a kind of face-off between the trio. Who looks the best with sneakers hanging from their body?
Here's delightful Cocoro Toyoshima, available in pink or blue sneaker versions.
And here's comely Ina Enohara.
And finally, this is the lovely Yuzuha Hongo.
If you wanted to get your chance on the Cocoro Toyoshima T-shirts (available in white or black and various sizes), you're probably out of luck. ...
Love Nonetheless is a 2022 Japanese movie that we have recently watched. The plot deals with the owner of a used bookstore and his relationship with a high school student.
It features a couple of nude sex scenes with the slinky Yuka Kouri, both times with the actress riding a lover in the cowgirl position. Beautiful.
Yuka Kouri is familiar to readers and viewers from her sexy appearances in the TV series Shogun earlier this year.
She has a body that looks great in lingerie.
Love Nonetheless also stars up-and-coming actress Yumi Kawai and the more established Honami Sato. The ...
Gravure idol Fumina Suzuki is marking 15 years of her career as a glamor model with a new photo book and a shoot that shows she's still got it.
Fly High comes out September 5 from Genkosha and revels in the busty gradol's gorgeous boobs and curves. She hasn't done anything new per se (don't expect nudity here!) but we love all the side boob and underboob on display.
This isn't a comeback because Fumina Suzuki (thankfully) never went away. She has continued to work in gravure (we loved her five-idol shoot with a postpartum Yuka Kuramochi) and her most recent photo book was also not ...
How to deal with depopulation in rural areas? This question has been haunting Japanese regional governments for decades now.
Above all, not only do they need to encourage the people who move away to major urban centers for work to return, they really need to target younger people with families. Because above all, these areas need young people.
The central government's policy when it comes to urgent matters is typically to launch a PR campaign -- in terms of the climate crisis, it's mostly about promoting the UN SDGs -- or throw money at it.
For the issue of depopulation, they have resorted ...

The former Japanese porn star Minami Aizawa has announced that she is to go on hiatus and fully retire her old performer name.
Aizawa worked in AV from 2016 to 2023, and has continued to use her name since retiring.
However, in social media posts on August 25 to her hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram and X, the 28-year-old announced in English and Japanese that she would stop using the name Minami Aizawa because she was fed up with the limitations of being always introduced as a "former porn star."
It makes her feel like she is, in her words, "clinging to past glories" and ...
This is either brutally honest or a great example of trolling.
An Osaka-based organization involved in combating chikan (molesting) on trains received a package in the mail from Tokyo in July. They opened it up to find a used onahole (male masturbator toy) and a letter.
"I released my sexual urges in order not to molest women. I support your efforts."
The toy, which was wrapped in a clear plastic bag and showed signs of use, was apparently the means for how the sender had released his sexual tension.
He claimed he had used it almost daily for two years before riding a train to prevent ...
