Never, never let it be said that pornography isn't cultural. Far from it. JAV is high art!
We've known this for years and now there can be no denying it with the Naked Sex Art Museum, which we have been "visiting" recently.
The Soft on Demand (SOD) title features Anri Suzuki, Ryo Akanishi, Satsuki Kirishima and Reira Serikawa in a series of scenes that recreate famous paintings... in the most artistic way possible.
The cover of course is Sandro Botticelli's Venus.
Another major obvious one is Manet's "The Luncheon on the Grass".
The original painting in itself ...
Three. Two. One. Lift off!
No, you haven't seen it all. If you think you have, you need to stay up to date with the new JAV Japanese porn releases.
Pussy Rocket Syringe Pump Challenge is an example of "injection bondage" in which five amateurs are tied up in a kind of barn and then have a "rocket" stuck up their vaginas, pumping them with spunk and other liquids.
The aim, apparently, is not vivisection but to see how much the ladies can "take" -- and whether the stuff will eventually spew out of their mouths or not.
There is almost three hours of this to... what, endure? ...
Okay, so that's a provocative question but these are provocative films.
The Naked Continent is a series of Japanese porn films that feature JAV stars heading to Africa ("the dark continent") to meet the natives and go savage.
A lot is made of the contrast between the pale, innocent-looking Japanese girl and the dark tribesmen and women she meets.
There are several films in the series, each starring a different girl. So far stars have included Yui Takashiro, Yuka Osawa and more.
Naturally she gets very acquainted with the men, discovering an inner, feral sexuality through ...
We've been "investigating" another fab genre of Japanese pornography a lot recently.
Homeless porn.
Back in 2011 we saw our first title, where a young J-girl is homeless in L.A. and has to sleep with tramps to get a place to stay.
But there are many, many more.
Some take the common "girl-in-peril" motif and have the young lady being forced to undergo something that is "dirty" or humiliating, or an incredible challenge.
Often the sex is semi-public, watched by all the other homeless guys in the community.
In general, this "humiliation" style is a frequent style in many Japanese JAV ...
Despite being the biggest producer of Japanese porn in the land, Soft on Demand (SOD) still manages to keep surprising audiences. No Hollywood-style reliance on tired formats for SOD!
Here's one we're loving at the moment.
It uses that trope found common to a lot of Japanese kikaku porn (literally "project films", features that focus on an unusual setting and situation rather than a star), the countryside.
Deep in the rural hinterland, there is a horse stables and racecourse where they train and keep mares and stallions.
Only these are not ordinary horses.
No, in Human ...
We've been enjoying a new Japanese adult film here at the Tokyo Kinky writing studio.
It's called Fifty Cocks Erection Tunnel and is produced by the ever-reliable Soft on Demand.
It's one of our favorite kinds of Japanese porn films, so-called kikaku "project" movies, which always involve some sort of unusual situation or challenge.
In this case, there are three ladies stripped to bikinis and they have to walk, crawl or otherwise get their way through a gauntlet of fifty erect cocks -- provided by a small army of masked men with no clothes except some skimpy underwear.
The ...
Who says the industry doesn't look after its own?
The Japanese porn world can get a bad rap, with lots of memoirs recently by former actresses recounting their woes and troubles after fucking and sucking their way through hundreds of men.
But the porn documentary The Other Side of Sex, currently playing at the leading film venue Uplink in Shibuya, will allow porn stars the chance to get in for a discounted ticket price.
Kind of a busman's holiday, the documentary is about the men of the JAV industry and so may prove all too familiar to the ladies.
However, the producers of the ...
Put your hand up of you've ever watched some Japanese porn -- okay, we're raising every part of our bodies! Well, then you will have probably at least one time seen this star.
But unlike Maria Ozawa et al, she doesn't have a name nor even the fame she deserves. But her role in driving the engine of JAV is undisputed.
Behold, the Fairy Massager Wand -- perhaps the most commonly used vibrator in Japanese pornography.
Why is it so popular?
Well, it's obviously a very powerful vibe and its size makes it very visually effective for shooting porn.
Its size also means it can be ...
Sometimes a Japanese sex doll can play a serious therapeutic role.
Take this tale of a widower who does the JAV equivalent of a Pinocchio when he creates a love doll in the image of his late wife.
Imouto Rin is a sex doll porn film from Soft on Demand.
What might sound like a strange idea -- a porno about a guy having long sex with a doll -- is actually rather tender and sweet.
True, it's rather one-way, but that doesn't mean it isn't committed and quite sweet.
Coming in at just over an hour, we were thoroughly enthralled by this romantic ...
Worried what your family might find if you were to suddenly pop your clogs?
Those intimate pictures of you and your ex you keep stashed under the book case?
How about over 1,000 adult movie titles?
Yes, this formidable collection was discussed in the possessions of a former elmentary school teacher, according to the accounts provided by a certain Ryuichi Yoshida, well versed in clearing up after people pass away. It must have been a real treasure trove of classic porn!
Yoshida runs a company that sorts out the possessions of dead people, such as when the family don't want to ...
