The world is gripped by the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the arrest of prime suspect Luigi Mangione.
People are trying to figure out his exact motives, with figures on both sides of the political spectrum hoping to claim him as a champion against corporate greed.
The 26-year-old is highly intelligent and well educated, it seems, and even made a trip to Japan back in May.
In social media postings, he made comments about the East Asian country, including his suggestions for how to fix the low birth rate. Don't worry, it doesn't involve shooting any more CEOs.
How can we ...
We already wrote about this story back in September but now the mainstream foreign media is starting to pick up the survey by the Japanese Association for Sex Education, which examines the rate of sex and other forms of intimacy among junior and senior high school students.
Perhaps prompted by the publication of the full version of the survey and new reports about it in the Japanese media, liberal bastion the Guardian recently ran an article bemoaning the falling numbers of male Japanese school students who had never kissed.
As noted in September, the survey results indicate that only one ...
Tokyo police have arrested a 25-year-old man for ejaculating onto a teenager's skirt on a morning train.
The arrest was recently announced but the actual incident allegedly took place on November 19, 2021, on a train traveling on the Seibu Ikebukuro line between Shakujii-koen and Ikebukuro stations some time after seven o'clock.
The man is suspected of ejaculating onto the female teenager's skirt, which others noticed when the girl got off the train. A member of staff at the train station then alerted the police.
The man was caught and identified almost two years later because he is ...
Japanese designers and engineers are famous for their dedication and meticulous approach. It is this mindset that led to innovations like the Prius and Walkman.
The same goes for Japanese sex toys too.
In the adult industry, while there are a fair few products that are clearly just rushed through the design and manufacturing process to make a quick yen, we never cease to be amazed by the original and striking designs that continue to emerge, month after month.
Tenga is, of course, the industry leader when it comes to design. Its sleek and stylish masturbator toys revolutionized the ...
Japan is famously, perhaps infamously, a land of few condom users.
To the chagrin of brands like Okamoto and Sagami, especially because they produce some the thinnest and best-quality condoms in the world, couples tend to prefer the classic pulling-out technique to safe sex that lets you finish inside.
And it's one reason there are a lot of shotgun weddings, especially among celebrities (for whom, it is seemingly the only way to get out of their contracts). Oh, and rampant syphilis.
But will the guys start wearing condoms during masturbation?
If that sounds like an oxymoron, we mean this: ...
Known for creating the most stylish and best-designed adult toys in Japan (and the world), Tenga is also one of the most innovative when it comes to marketing.
It loves to make seasonal products and campaigns, and we don't just mean holding a sale or putting together some themed packaging.
For example, it regularly offers chocolates in Tenga Cups for Valentine's.
It's currently offering a special New Year's Tenga set, inspired by Japanese traditions.
The brand has sold such sets since 2017. This year's comes in a wooden box with decorative paper, housing a Premium Tenga Original Vacuum ...
Convenience stores are, well, convenient for a number of reasons: the food and drink available, paying your bills, using the copy machine, or popping to the bathroom.
Some conbini have a rule that you are meant to inform the staff on duty that you wish to use the toilet. Many people don't bother to ask permission but it seems one customer in Fukuoka took this rule a bit far.
The 28-year-old Atsushi Iwao was such a stickler for the rules, in fact, that he even specified exactly what he planned to do inside the public convenience. And it wasn't a number one or number two.
Indeed, as he ...
Just when you thought you'd seen and tried everything Tenga has to offer, along comes the Apple of the adult industry with another great masturbation toy to prove that there is still so much more to explore about self-pleasure aids.
Returning to a somewhat simpler design that recalls the Tenga Eggs or Tenga 3D, the Tenga Bobble forgoes the elaborate casing of the Flip Hole series or the outer cup of the Tenga Cup toys, and puts the focus squarely on the inner contours of the gel sleeve.
The masturbator is currently available in two, brilliantly named versions: Crazy Cubes or Magic ...
Toru Muranishi is probably Japanese porn's most notorious director and producer in. For years, a mythic figurehead of the excesses of the early years of the industry who lost it all, he is now known to audiences globally thanks to the Netflix show The Naked Director.
We have all dreamed of having sex with as many women as Muranishi has. Now you can, sort of.
The Nice Cup series of two onaholes recreates the sexual experiences of the legendary lover.
Four years in the making, the two cup-style pocket pussy toys are based on the vaginas of Muranishi's 7,000 conquests.
The two ...
It's true that we don't talk enough about vibrators on this little blog of ours, since we tend to have our hands full covering all the latest developments in Japanese adult video, gravure, onaholes, dolls, and more.
But that's not to say we aren't looking. Far from it.
We recently spotted a novel series of vibrators that recall another line, the aptly named Amazing Beasts dildos by Daimaoh inspired by the genitalia of dolphins, wolves, and dragons.
The Love Vibe series of toys by SSI is a colorful reinterpretation of the classic rabbit vibrator, taking the "bunny ears" part that is ...
