We all know that masturbation requires at least two things: your cock and your hand. Ideally you would also have another thing ready: tissues.
Yes, never was so humble a household object so gratefully received as when you need to mop up your spunk after gratifyingly finishing a session with a shudder of your johnson.
Sex toys like masturbators make this situation somewhat less severe, since you tend to finish inside the toy. Nonetheless, tissues are necessary for wiping off excess lube and cum from your body.
Tenga, the most sophisticated adult brand in Japan, knows this well, having ...
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 ...
Over the weekend, a large earthquake struck off the coast of Japan. Here in Tokyo, we felt some pretty bad jolts for some time on Saturday night, but it was far worse for the northeast of the country.
Social media was soon awash with images of fallen bookshelves, smashed plants, collapsed and broken furniture.
One set of images that caught our eye on Twitter were these two photos of the insane disorder wrought upon a porn shop in Koriyama, Fukushima.
The manager of Book Fan 24 shared two pictures of the shelves emptied and countless numbers of DVDs and adult manga piled up on the floor. ...
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, 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 ...
Tenga's stylish yet superbly effective Tenga Iroha Pleasure Item Rin series of vibrators now has a brand new model -- and it conjures up a great autumnal theme.
With an elegant maple design, the Tenga Iroha Pleasure Item Rin+ Haremomiji Vibrator is perfect for this autumn days when the weather is wetter, the temperature drops, and you want to snuggle up at home with some sweet chestnuts and wine.
The name, like the coloring, references the changing of the momiji maple leaves that transform Japan's parks and mountains into vivid tones of red during October and November.
Like others in the ...
Tenga continues to show that there is mileage yet in the onacup concept. The cup-style masturbator toy has, of course, already yielded so much for the top Japanese adult brand, not least the Tenga Cup series that has become a global smash.
And now it has returned to revamp this cup idea with an entirely new take: behold the Tenga Aero.
On top of the futuristic design, the best innovation here is the adjustable tightness and vacuum, which recalls the Flip Hole (the first toy that Tenga produced with detailed yet easy way to customize the sensations), though with a totally different kind of ...
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 ...
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 ...
