The (Sex) Doctor Will See You Now
High-brow art is all well and good, but, when you get right down to it, we are all of us primarily concerned with one thing and one thing only. It should therefore come as a welcome but hardly surprising fact that the book that knocked Japanese national treasure Haruki Murakami’s critically lauded 1Q84 into a not-at-all close 2nd place on Amazon.co.jp’s bestseller list for last year has turned out to be a sex-tips manual – namely ‘A Female Doctor Instructs in Really Enjoyable Sex’.
The book, an ‘advanced level’ compilation of lectures and notes, has sold more than 400,000 copies thus far and offers instruction on such varied topics as the optimum method of manipulating the G-spot, love-making for mature couples and how to spice up a sexless union (a timely intervention given the unfortunate rise of that particular problem in modern Japan). The book’s popularity is no mean feat given that several major Japanese newspapers refused to advertise it at all (reasons given for this action have ranged from the flimsy to the outright prudish) and, if the countless glowing reviews on its Amazon page are to be believed, the advice contained within has proven invaluable to people all across the nation and beyond.
For Japanese speakers in need of a little nudge in the right direction bedroom-wise, this might well be the tome for you. The rest of us can take comfort, meanwhile, in some pics of other sexually stimulating healthcare professionals. These girls in uniform your cup of tea? You could do worse than shoot across to Kanojo Toys in that case – pick yourself up a few similarly themed items.
