A Japanese married couple has pleaded guilty to forcing a 25-year-old single mom into prostitution.
The single mother was staying with them. As payment for laundry and other costs, they made her work as a prostitute, according to media reports of the trial at Tokyo District Court, which began in May.
There were 334 acts of alleged prostitution in six months. The mother was apparently brainwashed by the couple and sent out into the local area to pick up clients.
Prosecutors are seeking a custodial sentence of 2.5 years for the couple.
The single mother was working as a hostess and giving ...
While Japan is always keen to promote its traditional culture to the world, the truth about it is sometimes complex and not altogether positive.
Geisha are one of the most iconic images associated with Japan, especially Kyoto. But in very simplistic terms, geisha were and remain not so different from modern-day hostesses in that they get paid to entertain patrons who were/are typically male, older, and wealthy.
There is, of course, still a culture of geisha today in places like Kyoto. One ex-trainee geisha (known as a maiko) has caused a stir by sharing some of the more unsavory facts about ...
We promised. We delivered. More to the point, she delivered.
We said we would follow up on our post last week about the first pictures from the highly anticipated porn debut (STARS-685-VT) of ex-Fairies member Rikako Inoue, now performing as Yotsuha Kominato. We can now share actual highlights from her 250-minute adult video release as well as nude promo photos of the star.
Fans will love her sweet, slender body and its beautifully pale skin. We know we do!
The sex itself is pretty conventional, ranging from gentle bathroom intimacy, some banging on a sofa, and the usual kind of ...
Sporty and athletic girls are the best if you want to have energetic sex. They have the stamina to keep going all night and the physical prowess to move their body in all the right ways.
The latest onahole toy by Hot Powers is fully aware of this, hence it matches the classic succubus fantasy with a cheerleader fetish.
The Demon Exterminator Onahole 2 (a follow-up to a previous bestseller) marries sexual character tropes that are, respectively, very Japanese and American. This is a form of biculturalism that surely everyone can get behind.
This lady can really kick her legs high, so just ...
Anticipation continues to build over the porn debut of former Fairies music idol Rikako Inoue as Yotsuha Kominato, which may well become one of the biggest AV of the summer.
While the upcoming release from Soft on Demand is still largely under wraps, with only very tame interview or promo videos available online to tease viewers, we do finally have the first preview images to enjoy.
They suggest the video will contain bath sex, masturbation, and Kominato's "first" time with a man. In one shot, she's wearing lingerie and a blindfold as a (much older) male partner manipulates her ...
Earlier this month, the naked body of 23-year-old Rina Arano was found tied to a tree. Her body showed no obvious sign of injury and the cause of death is still unclear.
A 33-year-old man has been arrested for confining her against her will in his vacation home in Hitachiota, Ibaraki, which is located around a kilometer from where Arano's body was found.
Arano apparently met the Hiroyuki Sanpei, a 33-year-old company employee in Minamiashigara, Kanagawa, for the first time in February or March. It is unclear exactly why she and Sanpei went to his villa in the rural district -- or what took ...
The latest survey about sex and romance in Japan to grab the headlines claims that 40% of single men in their twenties have never been on a date.
The results of the government survey also suggest that this problem isn't just men either. About 25% of young single women too also said they had never had a date with another person.
The numbers get a bit complicated, because 5% of married men and women in their twenties also said they had never been on a date, though this may mean they met their partner through a spouse introduction service and don't count their pre-marital meetings as "dates." ...
Things about gender are not always clearcut in Japan.
Some of the guys can spend as much time and money on their skincare and hair as the ladies. Styles of haircuts and clothing too are not always divided down the conventional male-female divide, from the male kimono to the elaborate styling of nightclub hosts. And that's before we even get into the deep and rich world of crossdressing and transgender.
While we will leave the cultural theory implications about this to the armchair philosophers among our readers, we were delighted to come across this story about the apparent new hit in the ...
Feti Fes is Japan's top fetish festival. We have attended before and previously posted photo reports that readers seemed to like.
It's the kind of event where every little room, cubbyhole, or booth is dedicated to a whole other fetish. Participants include chika (underground) and gravure idols, ero-cosplayers, fetish service providers, and goods and merchandise retailers.
After postponement due to the pandemic -- obviously, given the nature of the event, it's hardly compatible with social distancing guidelines -- Feti Fes 19 was finally held in April. We were not able to attend but, as we ...
Parco, a leading department store chain in Japan, has issued an apology after it used a "sex booth" to promote an event.
The installation was decked out in the style of the "free information" kiosks (muryo annaijo) that are found in certain city districts for providing listings, referrals, and recommendations about various forms of sex services (fuzoku), including blowjob parlors, delivery health, and soaplands, and also hostess clubs and girls bars.
Though less common as they were in the days before everyone had access to the internet on their phones, such adult booths are still found in ...
