Very broadly speaking, there are two kinds of masturbators in the Japanese market: the highly realistic pocket pussy toys with natural skin, superbly shaped labia, and amazingly stimulating vaginas; and the unrealistic-looking but very practical "cup" toys that are strokers housed in an outer casing.
Of course, there are a zillion other types and subtypes, but these are probably the main categories. The realistic toys are not limited to just vaginas: far from it, they also encompass mouths, anuses, and any other orifice you can think of.
But there has been a recent trend toward creating ...
Given how big tentacle sex is in hentai anime and porn, it's hardly a surprise that there are related adult toys in Japan.
But even so, we would love to have sat in on the ideation or brainstorming session where the designers at adult manufacturer Rends came up with the Phantom Beast series. (Though our inner cynic whispers that they might have just spotted the fantastic Amazing Beasts series by Daimaoh and copied the idea!)
These vividly imagined and strikingly colored dildos conjure up the penises of various creatures in tentacular fashion.
Ever imagined what it's like to have a lizard ...
Release the kraken, as they say.
But what happens when the kraken is your bedroom?!
From the Amazing Beasts series of creature-inspired dildo toys by Daimaoh, the Kraken Cock Tentacle Sex Dildo is the most unique, and slightly terrifying, penis toy we have seen in a while.
The cock-tentacle lets you recreate all those fantasies of tenacle rape that you've seen from countless hentai anime and so on, going right back to Hokusai's famous shunga print The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife.
Shaped like a tentacle, it features incredible attention to detail, from the suckers to the scaly ...
Japan is, regular readers will already know, a sex doll paradise.
The hug pillows are iconic and famed around the world.
You can choose from an incredible array of air dolls in all sizes and styles (schoolgirls and anime idols are a firm favorite in the market).
And then there are the silicone dolls from the likes of Orient Industry, boasting breathtaking realism and features (assuming you have the financial means to pay for them).
What often get less attention are the softer plush dolls, which have their own unique advantages (and also don't break the bank).
Putting the tactile and ...
Most teenagers dream of dating pop singers or movie stars. But this girl isn't most teenagers.
No, 13-year-old Seira Watanabe had a different kind of dream date: Godzilla.
And she finally got her dream granted.
Watanabe already has a huge Godzilla figure collection, but nothing beats meeting and interacting with the real thing.
A Japanese television show recently helped make that happen by arranging a date for her with Godzilla, as reports Kotaku.
Naturally, the kaiju was not quite its usual size.
When she spotted Godzilla outside her window at her home in Hyogo Prefecture, she almost ...
Forget the Fantastic Beasts series. Our favorite supernatural franchise of late is the Amazing Beasts series of sex toys.
The Amazing Beasts series is a lineup of dildos inspired by animals and creature characters. If you want to be fucked or to fuck a partner with what looks like a monster's cock, then this is the series for you.
And we just spotted one of the recent entries that is now available for international delivery.
Made by Daimaoh, a Japanese adult retailer that occasionally ventures into creating its own toys, usually with outlandish results (a dolphin sex doll, anyone?), this ...
Because sometimes you want something really wild inside of you.
The Amazing Beasts is an original series of dildos by online Japanese adult toys retailers Daimaoh. And when we say original, we mean it.
As vibrantly colored as they are sensationally named and astoundingly shaped, these are some of the most incredible fetish dildos we have seen in Japan.
If you felt that being penetrated by or penetrating your partner with a replica stick of goya or a large sweet corn just wasn't strange or sexy enough, then these beasts should sate your appetite.
The dildos offer shafts and glans like ...
The Internet allows us to have tentacle porn at our fingertips, but what about on our feet?
In a further sign that shunga Japanese erotic woodblock prints are no longer the taboo they once were, now you can enjoy Hokusai's The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife (or more literally, The Octopus and the Female Diver, which is probably the most famous (and arguably original) iteration of tentacle sex, on your feet with these sneakers.
A crowdfunding campaign has been launched in Japan to raise ¥500,000 to make these sneakers a product. So far, the organizers have attracted 33 patrons and half ...
Asian Boss, who previously gave us great interviews with former porn stars Emiri Okazaki and Taka Kato, has posted an interview with Yuta Shinohara.
Now Yuta might look just like any ordinary Japanese guy, but he's very much not so. In fact, he claims to have dated Lisa, a cockroach.
He talks about his unusual companion in the interview, which has not surprisingly drawn a fair amount of shock and disgust from viewers. He openly admits to fantasies about having sex with Lisa, imagining "her" as a super-sized creature or he was miniaturised (like the koonago fetish).
It's not just ...
Beasts, beasts, and more beasts.
One of the first impressions we had of Japan was through anime -- but this wasn't regular anime. Back then, in the mid-1990s, "anime" implied sexually explicit hentai anime or cult science fiction like Akira. It meant violent titles like Urotsukidoji or Devilman, which we devoured with wide-eyed wonder. And so it was we came to learn about tentacle sex and that whole Pandora's Box of erotic goodies.
When we finally got round to Ghibli and so on, it soon became apparent that manga and anime were not specific to certain genre at all. But we still liked to ...
