Once again we have been trawling some of Japan’s postwar history for insights about the sexual development of the nation. Here are some awesome vintage images of classic love hotels. Fans of love hotels and this blog will immediately spot that this one is the Meguro Emperor, a pioneering love hotel from the 1970s that…

Every few months along comes another one: a sensationalist English-language news wire article about Japanese sex dolls that appears everywhere, eager for clicks and comments. This time it’s an article with the very sensitively headline “Silicone Sally: Japanese men find true love with sex dolls”. It comes courtesy of AFP, about physiotherapist Masayuki Ozaki turning…

Is Japan’s naughty knotty BDSM scene too dangerous? This was the question asked recently by Jake Adelstein, the Tokyo-based reporter who has made a career out of being the foreign media’s go-to guy for yakuza stories and gossip. Adelstein’s article for the Daily Beast website is an interview with Golden-san, aka Golden Rule S.M. or…

Decades pass. Fashions and fads come and go. But one thing remains the same: strippers are hot. These ladies from the 1940s and 1950s certainly knew how to entertain male audiences back in the days of prewar Japan, including, no doubt, more than their fair share of American GIs. We can imagine Donald Richie watching…

Sweat. Sea. Sun. Sand. There’s a world of scents out there on the beaches of Japan, not to mention very carefully waxed bikini lines (but more often than not, very flat chests). Summer beaches are the haven of slutty girls, who head in groups to the sand to meet guys and have fun. Dead or…

Our latest favorite nude selfie hobbyist is this Japanese college girl, who really wants the world to see everything she’s got, including her paipan (shaved) pussy and tight butt hole. Despite spreading her pussy lips wide, she’s a sensible girl and has censored her nude selfies for both genitals (illegal to upload in Japan) and…

Here’s a new toy that will certainly get young boys interested in games that don’t involve a screen: the oppai spinner, as invented and demonstrated by the immensely busty and immensely popular gravure idol and singer Jun Amaki. Best known for making the “virgin killer sweater” famous, Jun Amaki has a chest that she knows…

For reasons that obviously don’t need stating, the curvy Mitsu Dan has inspired her fair level of male attention these past few years. Now she’s attracted the attention of Miyagi Prefecture, which hired her to appear in a tourism video. If that sounds pretty random, it’s because it unashamedly is. The nude model and jukujo…

This cute Japanese high school girl has gone viral, but not for the reasons you might think. It’s because “she” is not a “she” in the conventional sense of the term. Like Shiseido did before him, @ginsyamu has managed to fool a lot of people into thinking he is a member of the fairer sex….

We recently read a report in the Asahi Shimbun about the adult video scouts who operate on the streets of Tokyo, searching for the next porn talent to come walking by. If you’ve ever wondered how a lot of the women, especially the anonymous stars of AV with large casts, get into their jobs, it’s…
