Tenga celebrates 100 million sales of the Tenga Cup series
December 23, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
'Tis the season for celebration, after all, and Tenga has reached a major milestone.
And a very profitable one at that: 100 million sales of its Tenga Cup series.
The Tenga Cup 100 Million Sales Commemoration Set is a special release to celebrate this phenomenal achievement.
As regular readers know, we love writing about Tenga -- sometimes called the Apple of the Japanese adult industry -- and couldn't resist this story. We have grown old with Tenga: the Cup came out first in 2007 and has morphed into so many versions over the years since. Along with the Tenga Egg, the Cup secured the ...
Man attempts to convert Tenga Cup into powered masturbator with floor fan
July 27, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
Remember Onanist Take, the somewhat eccentric adult content creator who previously had a bath with 400 masturbator toys?
Well, for this next stunt, he decided to try his hand at some DIY.
He attempted to convert a standard Tenga onacup into a powered automatic masturbator. (Of course, he could have just bought a Tenga Gyro Roller, which basically does just that.)
Onanist Take used a Tenga Cup in combination with a floor fan, whose protective cover he had removed. He attached the cup to the middle rather crudely with tape and then gamely slide his cock into the cup.
He pressed the "on" ...
Tenga rewards new college students with a better way to jerk off
April 1, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
April is, of course, April Fool's Day. But more importantly for those of us in Japan, it's the start of the new fiscal and academic year.
While that's different from many systems in the West, which generally begin the school year in the autumn, it makes a lot of sense considering it's spring and the season of new beginnings (and the cherry blossom in the school yards makes for some good commemorative photos).
Tenga knows how hard and stressful it can be to start college. You have to get a whole new set of friends and everyone seems older and cooler than you. It's also often the first time ...
Tenga to launch rocket (and new sex toy) into space
January 29, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
Space, the final frontier for masturbation?
Tenga is not just content merely with producing some of the most sophisticated and best-designed Japanese adult toys, and achieving the distinction as pretty much the sole Japanese sex toy line to have global distribution in its own right, the brand also continues to market its products in unique and fun ways.
The latest iteration of this is Tenga Rocket, a project that sees brand founder Koichi Matsumoto in the same territory as other captains of industry like Richard Branson and Elon Musk.
Tenga Rocket is pretty much what it sounds like: a ...
Tenga offers chance to win gold tissue case in premium masturbation cup design
December 21, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
Tenga, the Apple of the Japanese adult market, is convinced that self-pleasure should be a premium experience. And it also knows how to market its products in a truly savvy and novel way.
Case in point is its latest campaign in which the brand gives people to win a "gold" Premium Tenga cup just by retweeting a certain tweet by March 31.
All right, this is indeed made out of almost 100% gold but it's not an actual sex toy, even if it does look uncannily like one of the entries in the bestselling Premium Tenga cup series, whose Premium Vacuum Cup tenth-anniversary toy is getting a ...
Get pumped in more ways than one with the Tenga Workout Gear
August 31, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
There is the old joke that you can build up your biceps by excessive masturbation.
But Tenga is here to prove that it is, in fact, true. At least, it can be with the Tenga Workout Gear.
This is a silver-colored, stainless steel "sleeve" that locks around the Tenga Original Vacuum Cup toy. As you slide your johnson in and out of the masturbation cup, you hold the Workout Gear and train your muscles.
It is a heavy (as in four kilograms, or nearly nine pounds) and genuinely does help you strengthen your muscles simply by holding and using the item.
Here is the item in a ...
Let Tenga cool you down this summer with these special adult toys and lubes
June 10, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
The ever-reliable Tenga has just released a batch of great cooling toys in time for the summer.
Of course, this is far from the first time that Tenga, the Apple of the adult industry in Japan, has created menthol and other types of "cool-you-down" masturbation aids. But this year's set of toys is particularly broad and ambitious, and includes both new releases and re-releases.
Let's start with the basics: a cool version of the classic Tenga Cup.
The Tenga Deep Throat Cup Special Cool Edition is, as the name suggests, a special cooling version of the popular Deep Throat Cup. So you can ...
Twitter user matches types of Tenga Cup to favorite music idols from Bed In
April 24, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
Have you ever wondered what type of Tenga Cup are you? Which onacup reflects your current mood, personality, or fashion style?
One creative Twitter user took this to the next level: by assigning Tenga Cups to match the different outfits of a woman -- specifically, a music idol.
The classic red "deep throat" onacup is sporty. The white version is a shrine maiden. The Premium Cup is a glitzy outfit. The Rainbow Pride Cup is a bikini. And so on.
There are two versions of the collage that has gone (very slightly) viral: one featuring Mai Chusonji (aka Chanmai) and the other with Kaori ...
Tenga releases masturbation aid-inspired Sweet Love Cup chocolates with new flavors for 2020
February 3, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
At first glance, these look like Tenga Onacups in all their stylish and universally appreciated glory. But for once, we aren't writing about something that pleasures the cock. The Sweet Love Cup is about the taste buds in your mouth.
Open up these mini onacups and find ten individually wrapped chocolates to eat alone or with a partner, either as a pre- or post-coital treat.
Naturally, the release is timed perfectly for Valentine's Day (which in Japan, is when women given chocolates to men -- who are meant to reciprocate on so-called White Day, on March 14th).
This isn't the first time that ...
Grandfather discovers grandson’s Tenga Cup masturbation toy, reuses it as flower vase for altar
March 5, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
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 ...
