Japan has been experiencing something of a "suppin" boom of late, where it has become popular for women to wear no makeup -- or at least, to present a more natural look, as if they have not put on any makeup. Celebrities like Nozomi Sasaki have also shared images of themselves in "suppin" to demonstrate how amazing they look without the need for cosmetics. Paradoxically this has now led to women using cosmetic products to create the "suppin" look.
The suppin boom has spread to such an extent that "suppin cafes" have started to pop up in Japan. Basically these are like maid cafes or girls' ...
Without wishing to sound arrogant, we usually reckon we have now seen pretty much every kind of adult toy Japan has to offer, but we still manage to find new formats.
Have you ever tried body stickers like these? We spotted two new body sticker products available from Tama Toys, and sold and shipped globally by Kanojo Toys.
The idea behind the Uterus Body Sticker is that you can experience nakadashi without any of the dangers: you can pull out and bukkake over your partner's body as if coming deep inside her, though minus the risks that entails, of course. This is clearly aimed at ...
Animals for breasts? And on men?
No, this isn't some kind of hybrid human-animal sex fetish, or a transgender fantasy gone mad.
An (old) Japanese video explains the weight of different cup sizes with animals -- and illustrates this by having men wear bras fitted with these animals inside glass cups. So a modest A-cup is only a pair of cockatiels but then, getting progressively bigger and heavier, a B-cup is a pair of guinea pigs, C-cup is hedgehogs (ouch!), D-cup is rabbits, and -- most surreally -- an E-Cup is cockerels!
And then to prove what it's like for women to do exercise and ...
Before you start getting worried, "breast slash" is not some crazy violent fetish where diners get to cut open busts. Known in Japanese as paisura (not to be confused paizuri, or breast sex), it means a bag strap fetish -- i.e., when a shoulder strap or something of the sort runs down over the chest of a woman, creating a slash-like look. Naturally this also gives a very snug squeeze on the breasts, accentuating the bust.
And now there's going to be a Paisura Cafe. It is the brainchild of Muchi Cafe, which specializes in managing pocchari larger Japanese models -- who are, it perhaps goes ...
No chronicle of Japanese adult fetishes is complete without mention of tentacle sex (aka tentacle rape). Known as shokushu goukan in Japanese, the trope was made famous by The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife by Hokusai -- a shunga erotic print vividly depicting an ama diver's fantasy of an octopus having sex with her -- but pops up in other walks of life, too. We really liked an erotic photo shoot we spotted in 2016 of a slinky Japanese gravure idol rollicking with a live octopus.
And it was recently on a mainstream TV show! Kayoko no Heya is a late-night program on Fuji TV fronted by Kayoko ...

Bathing and fetish cultures are both big in Japan, so why not combine the two?
It's a question that people have no doubt asked at some time, but now some boffin has gone ahead and figured out a way to answer it. Don't believe us? Behold the results.
Available in male and female versions, the Leftover Bathwater Drink is for anyone with a hankering for the used water left behind after a special someone has finished their ablutions.
The Leftover Bathwater Drink comes courtesy of the "brilliant" boffins at cult novelty store Village Vanguard, who also produced the panties eye mask we ...
You remember the Hentai Kamen, the superhero who wears panties over his face?
Now behold the wonder of the Brassiere Eye Mask, which covers your eyes with -- you've guessed it -- a miniature bra.
Produced by novelty store Village Vanguard, the Brassiere Eye Mask is more of a parody item than a genuine fetish toy, but it's still pretty awesome. Any mainstream appropriation of fetish culture is OK by us.
We especially love the way it is marketed with a salaryman-like Japanese man dressed in a suit, whose true desires lie not in spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations, but in ...
The Futomomo series of photography exhibitions has done much to normalize zettai ryouiki and thigh fetish.
And photographer Yuria's project has proved so successful that it has led to six (and counting) photo books and now has even spawned a real-world spin-off.
On October 6th, the World of Thighs Photography Cafe opened in Ebisu, Tokyo. Featuring the stunning and erotic photography of Yuria, visitors can now dine while surrounded by the thigh fetish images.
The selection of photos is taken from a recent shoot in Guam. Sun, sea and legs -- what more could you want?
The ...
Any self-respecting fan or consumer of Japanese adult video will know how important shame is: shame or insult (ryoujoku, ryojoku) fetish porn is huge. In the pantheon of Japanese porn, women are humiliated in all number of inventive ways, from being made to pee themselves (omorashi) to having their bodies turned into "public toilets" for anyone to use.
A common theme is the use of writing on the naked body, where women are "tagged" with graffiti insulting them or labeling them as sluts.
If this turns you or your partner on, there are ways to recreate the experience, such as the "shame ...
