Can Japanese neighbors sue each other for noisy sex?
January 24, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Sex in Japan can be noisy business, with excessive groans and even "narration" of how they feel from the female party. Couple this with thin walls and windows, and densely packed residential areas, and you have a recipe for overheard copulation.
This can be a kinky experience but also infuriating, especially if it's late at night and you just want some shut-eye. It can even lead, as we've shared before, to receiving angry notes from neighbors.
But is this grounds for more serious legal repercussions?
Legal website Bengo4 recently considered this issue. It received an inquiry from someone ...

They say that YouTubers and other social media content creators are the new celebrity elites of our day, and that seems to extend to their romantic escapades.
A list has emerged apparently showing the sexual conquests of the macho male YouTuber Purotan, who has 2.1 million subscribers to his channel.
The list features 127 women. It was supposedly saved on Purotan's phone and then leaked by another YouTuber, Yagi, after their own relationship ended badly. Purotan has apparently paid ¥5 million as compensation for his alleged domestic violence and infidelity. Yagi appeared in Purotan's ...

Have you ever wondered what that sex position is called in Japanese?

Do Japanese girls want to date Western guys? It's a question that many of our readers probably want to find out.
Of course, the answer is: it depends on the girl.
But such obvious points aside, what do Japanese women, especially young Japanese women, think about dating non-Japanese man, particularly from Western countries?
Fortunately, instead of going out and doing a time-consuming survey ourselves, we found this nice video of street interviews from a few months ago.
The interviewer, Takashii, manages to score comments from some fine-looking and very eligible ladies. We're not sure how ...

Noisy sex in Japan leads to notes from angry neighbors
March 28, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
Many moons ago, we had the misfortune to live in a "gaijin house" -- one of those sordid guest houses that cater specifically to foreign residents of Tokyo. It wasn't as bad as some of the horror stories we have heard about such places, but the walls were decidedly thin.
One weekend morning, we woke to hear sounds from across the hall (through at least two doors/walls). Our young American neighbor was clearly balls deep in his Sunday breakfast. We could hear his partner (at least, the one he had snagged that week, since he always had several on the go) groaning how "kimochi ii" (good) it ...
Confessions of a foreign female about compensated dating in Japan
June 6, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
We stumbled upon this confessional post on Amina du Jean's Substack, billed as "a digital temple for positive femininity." The title, "Crazy Sexy Tokyo," is provocative and sounds like another "wacky Japan" story at first, but we were especially intrigued to read the author's insights into compensated dating (enjo kosai).
Writing about her personal experiences of participating in this social "custom" of young women, in which they go on dates with (older) men and receive monetary "compensation" for their troubles, the author is very candid and doesn't resort to the more obvious ...

September 17, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
As one of the most popular adult video stars in Japan and the originator of a whole line of adult toys, Eimi Fukada is a woman who knows about sex.
And she's also a generous soul who wants to share her insights with the general public.
She is also one of the most active JAV stars on YouTube and recently released a new video titled (roughly) "Intercourse to Get Your Partner Hooked on You."
Yes, in the eight-minute video, Eimi -- dressed more like a sophisticated office lady you may spot shopping in Daikanyama than a porn star -- gives us the lowdown on how to make a female partner really ...

In a series of brief yet enlightening street interviews, actual Japanese girls reveal their answers to the personal questions we all want to ask.
How often do Japanese girls want to have sex?

How much do you Japanese like having sex?
How many dates do Japanese girls want to go on before having sex?
How long do Japanese girls expect their male partners to last in bed?

So much for sexless Japanese!
The interviews were ...
Five ways to impress Japanese women
January 11, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
The podcast (and YouTube series) Abroad in Japan has uploaded a new episode that we think will interest Tokyo Kinky readers.
It's called "5 ways to make a great first impression on Japanese women!" -- but also includes "five incredibly bad ones."
Naturally, this is all according to a foreigner, so some may well disagree with the suggestions, but all tips are surely welcome in this dating landscape so blighted by the pandemic.
We won't expound on them all here, since we reckon it's worthwhile that readers listen to the 40-minute episode themselves, but fear not, they are relatively ...
