Things about gender are not always clearcut in Japan.
Some of the guys can spend as much time and money on their skincare and hair as the ladies. Styles of haircuts and clothing too are not always divided down the conventional male-female divide, from the male kimono to the elaborate styling of nightclub hosts. And that's before we even get into the deep and rich world of crossdressing and transgender.
While we will leave the cultural theory implications about this to the armchair philosophers among our readers, we were delighted to come across this story about the apparent new hit in the ...
If you've got it, flaunt it. That's a maxim usually applied to more savory assets, but we at Tokyo Kinky also believe it holds true for the, well, kinkier aspects of life.
Like having a panties fetish.
If you love panties or panchira (up-skirt glimpses of panties), then Japan has the answer to your dreams. From face masks to bibs and art books, there's a wide array of fetish items for you. And that's before you even delve deeper into the world of actual used panties.
Combining practical solutions with unique aesthetic, Ligre Japan has produced two new panties-fetish items that we couldn't ...
One of the unexpected (but very welcome) aspects of the coronavirus pandemic was the response of adult brands in Japan, which began offering fetish face masks.
As such, perhaps this update was inevitable. Costume brand Erox has taken the now-ubiquitous face mask and transformed it into sexy underwear.
What, like that idol already did with the free government-supplied masks back in 2020? And like that political candidate did on her election campaign posters?
Yes, but this time the results are a little less homemade!
The Face Mask Underwear is a set of four masks that you wear like a bra or ...
While we tend to concern ourselves chiefly on these digital pages with the goings-on of the Japanese female, we are not blind to the charms and amusements of her male counterpart.
Indeed, we take delight in a real gem like this.
Recently discovered and shared in a series of photos on Twitter by Joshua Hunt, the now-defunct street fashion magazine Relax did a spread on "men who love their underwear" inside an issue in 1997.
The article title translates roughly as: "Street Corner Underwear Attack in Harajuku: Guys So Proud of Their Underwear That They Can Show People."
Ah, the cheeky 1990s. ...
Underwear is important for showing off your package but also keeping it firm and steady. After all, life throws a fair few things at you -- from being jostled by crowds to the trials of not getting hard when on a rush hour train with some hot office ladies...
The Toot series of "no-slip" male boxers promise that they will keep your cock in the same place no matter what happens.
Don't believe us? Well, the boast is "scientifically proven" by their video demonstrations.
The funkily colored underwear is designed to keep you in the "best position".
They tested this by a series ...
If you went out at Halloween in Tokyo you might have seen some very scantily clad ladies.
Likewise, a trip to Akihabara often means the chance to see idols performing on the street with a lot on display. Flasher idol Asuka Sawamoto famously got herself arrested in 2008 when she did a series of performances in Akiba where she let hordes of men photograph her underwear. (She went on to a career in porn.)
But what about just "risque" fashion. How far is this legal?
A fashion website asked a lawyer about how far you go with see-through underwear in Japan.
Exposing yourself in ...
We've said it before and we'll sell it again. Many Japanese girls have flat chests.
Some guys like that. In fact, data exists proving that Japanese men prefer girls with modest busts.
Our jury's still out. While we like the cute, innocent-looking Japanese girl, we still ultimately prefer some curves and breasts to get our hands (and other things) on.
So-called hinnyu or tsurupeta Japanese girls have even inspired their own sex toys.
And their own underwear.
We don't just mean A-cup bras. Feast is a whole range of stylish lingerie specifically designed for girls with ...
It's not just about naked bodies. As we all know, lingerie plays a vital role in foreplay and the fun that happens before the real fun begins.
Well, now you can know the colors Japanese girls like to select for when they put on their shobu shitagi (sexy underwear for that special occasion).
A recent poll by Love Cosme of over a thousand Japanese ladies across the whole of Japan has revealed their choices of sexy underwear... and it's got us salivating to know more!
This being the country of infinite kawaii cuteness, not surprisingly, pink was a the big winner here over much of ...
Any newbie visitor to Japan quickly realizes that phone cameras here must carry a rather loud "shutter" noise for the moment when you take your grainy snap. The reason? Needless to say, with mobile innovation Japanese pervs were very fast to use it as a new tool for photographing up girls' skirts.
But as the smartphone devices have been flooding the market, authorities have been unable to control the use of apps to make camera "shutters" go silent. And with silence comes plenty of opportunities to snap panties and more.
Unlike regular keitai mobiles, the smartphone shutter noises ...
On a shopping trip in lovely Akihabara, Tokyo, we came across this wonderful bargain!
We found the panties and bras section, and amused ourselves imagining what cuties could be wearing these for us one day. There were the expected sexy ones...
But, more interestingly, this underwear set for men!
Would you fancy putting this on? We also like how the gentleman on the packaging appears to be wearing the bright pink lingerie over his suit! Now that would get people's attention on the rush hour ...
