Deino collaboration toys explore isopod sex, steampunk character fantasies

We have all harbored a few weird fantasies in our time, but how many have wondered what it's like to have sex with insects or an amputee?
That first fetish is explored by some more extreme sections of the adult video market, as we have blogged about before, but also appears in a few toys, such as this recent one that caught our beady eye.
The Mushi Kan Isopod Sex Vibrator is essentially what the name would suggest: in the words of Kanojo Toys, it "replicates the wiggling, writhing movements of a small creature crawling around and pleasuring you down there with its body and ...

Fetish Festival (Feti-Fes) 2016: Photo report

Fetish Festival (Feti-Fes) was held on January 31st at a venue in Harajuku and what a serendipitous collection of fetishes it was!
We loved the one we attended last year. This January we couldn't go in person but watched from afar via the festival's official social media channels, from where we have pouched these shots.
Everything from rope bondage and steampunk to almost-not-there bikini idols, crotch shots, masks, blood and horror, nurses, eyepatches, facesitting, and everything in between.
The festival remains one of the most accessible ways to experience the sheer range of ...
Check in at this amazing steampunk Japanese love hotel in east Tokyo

Japanese love hotels come in all shapes and sizes.
There are all manner of crazily themed hotels out there, enough to fill more than one coffee-table book.
A recent one we looked at is Keibajo US in Niigata, with its classrooms, hospital ward rooms, and more, plus there is this great "vintage Japan" hotel in our old stomping ground of Osaka.
Here is another great example of the sheer inventiveness and skill of love hotels to appeal to our fantasies.
Again, as we know from the history of love hotels, like with most of the really outrageously designed hotels, it is not in a ...
Fetish Festival (Feti-Fes) in Tokyo: Photo report

/ Tadashi Anahori
Fetish Festival (Feti-Fes) was held in Tokyo on Sunday January 25th at an inconspicuous venue near Harajuku.
There were 96 booths, including cosplayers, idols, bondage artists, and more, spread out over six seriously packed floors, plus a basement showing the "Underground Fetish Film Festival" screenings.
Feti-Fes was first held in January 2013, since then it has been held eight times around Japan. This festival -- the fifth in Tokyo -- was the biggest so far and there seemed to be hundreds of visitors by our estimate.
Due to legal reasons, there was no nudity allowed in the ...
Not sure if this qualifies more as steampunk or as something from the bottom of a 1950s motel bed, but the Handy Vibe looks like it might just vibrate your hand off of your arm if you insert enough quarters.
Handy Vibe comes from a long line of super-strong vibrators commonly used in Japanese adult films on squealing girls. Typically it's of the giant Dendou Massager variety, but there are all kinds out there.
With the unfortunate mosaic censor on Japanese porn, there tends to be much more focus on the "idea" of the sex, meaning that there are a lot less closeups and more focus on ...
