We all have experience of parents and other relatives poking around in our bedrooms and finding things we'd rather they didn't. In Japan, one of these is frequently an adult manga, porn magazine, or masturbation aid like an onahole toy or Tenga Cup. This might well result in red faces for everyone when our masturbation habits are exposed.
But we think this is taking things to a whole other level.
One young Japanese man's masturbatory aid was not only found by his grandfather, it was then promptly recycled for quite a novel use.
The man in question -- sharing the story under his Twitter ...
Transform your favorite and much-used Tenga Cup toy into a sex machine. That is the fundamental, irresistible premise behind the quite awesome Tenga Gyro Roller.
This isn't actually the first time that Tenga has gone electric for its masturbation aids. But now Tenga has retained its winning back-to-basics approach while simultaneously upping the functionality. The Gyro Roller locks with an onacup like an accessory, making the actual unit very compact and versatile -- unlike most sex machines or masturbots that can be a little cumbersome.
It is an improvement on the Tenga Vacuum ...
Valentine's Day is not far away, so are you feeling in the mood for some loving?
Give your loved one (or yourself) chocolate that really says something about their adult tastes with these Tenga Sweet Love Cups.
They might look on the outside just like ordinary Tenga onacup masturbation aids, but these are in fact sets of twelve chocolates in three delicious flavors (strawberry chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate). We wonder if they missed a trick here: what about an actual chocolate-flavored onacup? You could lick and nibble it as you masturbate with the toy. Tenga, if you're ...
Because we all know that sex is better with the lights on.
Tenga understands the primal need for nighttime masturbation and that light makes this a more fun and practical experience, whether enjoyed solo or with a partner.
That's why the Apple of the Japanese adult toys industry came up with the Tenga LED Light onacups, a series of Tenga Onacups that light up.
There are two versions, based on popular onacups in the Tenga series.
The Tenga LED Light Premium Vacuum Light Onacup is blue while the Tenga LED Light Deep Throat Light Onacup is red. They light up and glow an erotic color ...
Tenga is doing so well that it can afford to send hot girls to a customer's homes.
While that might sound like it defeats the whole purpose of a masturbation aid -- even ones as stylishly designed as Tenga -- be assured, Tenga has not branched out into prostitution and the ladies will only "dance" for customers.
Japan's Apple of the adult industry is running this Go Go Tengirls Cool Tenga campaign to promote its summer-themed range of onacups, eggs, lubricants and other toys.
The brand is asking people to tweet something with the campaign phrase and link in order to apply to take ...
Tenga, the "Apple of the Japanese adult industry", has always had a great attitude towards marketing, sponsoring art and music events, beach clean-ups and even getting the approval of a Buddhist monk.
It recently held an advertising contest, offering the winner the chance to get a top prize of ¥1 million's worth of Tenga products.
Needless to say, Tenga's brilliant approach to design and product quality, not to mention its tongue-in-cheek attitude towards its publicity, were great creative inspirations.
Here are the winners.
This won the grand prix. It elevates the Tenga ...
What is it about Tenga that seems to inspire Japanese people to make robots?
About a year ago a minor meme on the Japanese Twittersphere involved posting self-created visions of a mecha robot that could transform into a Tenga onacup.
That was apparently (and bizarrely) related to Valentine's Day. White Day (where the men give women gifts in Japan) saw a new meme, this time mecha robots inspired by the Iroha vibrator.
Now for 2016 along comes @ZMD11S, who hasn't simply drawn or planned a Tenga robot model: he (we are assuming he's male) has built one!
Sadly it's not an actual ...
Tenga doesn't waste time and money with New Year's cards, as is the custom in Japan.
Instead it produces a special customized version of its Deep Throat Onacup to celebrate 2016, the Year of the Monkey.
The deep red of the cup is paired with a gold monkey face and mizuhiki-style ribbon.
Sadly this isn't for sale but what a great ...
To promote the awesome Tenga Vacuum Controller, Tenga's first foray into the sex machine market that was released in March, Tenga has now created a English-language video to explain the features of the toy.
Suction on Your Command!
The world's first vacuum pump that feels amazing to use!
...is how Tenga puts it.
We just love the approach. Tenga wanted to enhance their onacup series and do something electric. Most people go overboard with the tech and design when it comes to a sex machine, but Tenga's idea was, as always, minimal and successful.
Taking the Tenga cup to the ...
Japanese sex toys love to play cheeky jokes.
That's why you get so many masturbators, vibrators and even condoms themed unofficially around famous idols, games, books and so on (including Pachinko!).
Food and drink products have also inspired parodies and sometimes this can come in handy for "disguising" your adult treat.
In the past we've seen Green Tea Lotion and a host of other sex toys based on actual beverages or snacks, including cup noodle, beer cans and more.
One of the latest is this onacup-style masturbator, the Onanee Onariko Cup.
The name and the packaging ...
