What's with all the horny women in ukiyo-e and old Japanese paintings? How did they get so excited without the wonderful sex toys of the modern day? Were the samurai just that good?
Well, maybe, but it turns out that feudal Japan's women got their kicks from "higo zuika," the dried stem of the Giant Elephant Ear Plant from the province of Higo. These little pieces of folk craft don't look too sexy at first, but soak them in water, and they get soft, slick, and...stimulating?
Higo zuika has saponin in it, a chemical that stimulates and increases blood flow wherever it touches. We don't ...
Meiki no Hinkaku and the Meiki onahole series
June 30, 2009
/ Taro
The absolute most popular male masturbator in Japan (besides Tenga of course) is the
Meiki no Hinkaku and the rest of the Meiki series that has redefined quality and style in a classic Japanese fashion. While Tenga have gone for sleek and futuristic, the Meiki series has a touch of wa, the Japanese word for harmony.
It's hard to explain how soft the Meiki is, besides saying that it's REALLY soft. When you first get it out of the box, you'd think it's a smooth and stretchy marshmallow shaped like a vagina. Upon insertion (no joke) you get feelings almost exactly like the real thing. ...
After some hard work, KanojoToys has managed to get a handful of Ona Max Revolution sex machines, and are therefore able to offer these to the public at about half of the usual charge (used to be over $400!!).
We previously blogged the Ona Max when we first discovered it at the Adult Treasure Expo in 2007, and were amazed at the power and features of this machine.
Aside from strong thrusting power, there are two internal beaded rotators that stimulate you on both sides (with adjustable speed) PLUS an extra power jack for your own sex toy attachments from butt plugs to nipple ...
We all know about the myths and magic behind Japanese vending machines... It's not like they haven't been covered in the media, but what about the sex toys vending machines?
Aside from kid-oriented machines that sell poop toys, actual sex toys vending machines aren't exactly front and center in Japan.
In fact, the majority of sex-related vending machines are not in the red light districts of cities, but in the mountains. After all, cities have plenty of sex shops already, but what does the average mountain-dweller do when he needs a dildo, porno, or pair of panties? Your answer is ...
Is Japan known to make high-quality vibrators? Everything else with small parts, right? I recently came back from a trip to the U.S. with Taro, and of course we were looking in the local sex shops to see what people are using these days in America. I won't say the shop name, but I bought an expensive (about $120) vibrator (for ME only this time!). I brought it back to Japan and then...it was broken after three uses!!
I only say this because I still have the first Japanese vibrator I own, from like five years ago, and I don't think it'll ever break. KanojoToys doesn't carry that model in ...
These days, is there anything wrong with men enjoying anal pleasure, either alone or with a partner? Attitudes have changed dramatically in just a short time! In Japan, for example, prostate massage toys have become major sellers in the sex toys shops, and many adult films feature men getting fucked by women with various weapons of ass destruction. One of the latest is the Anal Phaser, a carefully crafted prostate massager that contains a vibe.
For a little more power, the Anal Insertion Direct keeps its battery pack off board, but makes up for the cord with even stronger ...
OK, so this is right up my alley. Ah! Pun intended! Besides, the men already have their Flip Holes, right?
Japan is known for having lots of cute stuff, right? It's basically the capital of kawaii (cuteness) with all the pink, frills, and daintiness that comes with it. Why shouldn't that apply to sex toys? If anything, it should apply to them FIRST!
These vibes below embody everything about the trendy Shibuya 109 style of glitz and sexiness combined with the cute.
The Diamond Series all have sparkly diamonds on the end! They say that they're a girl's best friend, but I guess ...
Do you like adult film star Azumi Harusaki? We miss her movies dearly, but it seems she's coming out of retirement!
Azumi now has her very own onahole (KanojoToys product page), and not just any hole. It's modeled after her very own lovely parts, but also is powered with a removable vibrating egg which goes (appropriately) where the sun don't shine.
Below you can see Azumi posing with her onahole's packaging, and she looks pretty happy about it! This is a pretty new product, but it seems that she still has a very large fan base that will go nuts over these things.
Get ...
Onacups just took another step forward.....and up-down, up-down, up-down....
You get the idea. To be honest we're often in doubt as to how much longer this onacup boom can go in Japan without the makers running out of ideas. After all, at its core we're talking about cups filled with silicone used for masturbation! However, there are so many new and improved models that we're constantly surprised!
These new onacups from Toys Heart called Shakers (product page) look a bit extreme at first, but they're far more advanced than we thought.
The cups come in three "volumes", each of ...
Anal toys for men (they're for straight men too you know) have become increasingly popular in Japan in the last year, with many varieties in all of the sex shops. Rather than using phallic shapes or plugs, these are designed to stay put in the anus and massage the prostate. The Climax Enema takes this concept, and even adds a vibrator!
You see that there are also little "arms" on it: These stimulate the space between your legs (the "taint" if you will) as your body naturally flexes for prostate massage.
The Climax Enema (available from KanojoToys.com) can be used purely during ...
