Another week, another sex-themed article about Japan gets written and hawked around. AFP has written an article about Japan’s “silver porn” industry and the wire service has sold it to countless other publications around the world. We’ve seen these pieces before, such as in The Guardian. And of course, it’s hardly news. There has been…

Japan’s top cosplayer, Iiniku Ushijima, is set to make her JAV porn debut at long last. Sadly not. This was an April Fools’ Day joke by a Japanese porn label. A million cocks sprung up when Prestige made the “announcement”… on April 1st. No, Japan’s slinkiest cosplay idol is not switching over to the porn…

Japan is a country where the Kanamara penis festival (held yesterday) is fine but the depiction of the female genitalia is not. The two arrests of Rokudenashiko (Megumi Igarashi) have caused a furore around the world — to be accurate, mostly around the world, not in Japan. The overseas press is much more interested in…

A “trailer” for “Pizap Shake Your Body & Soul” by Marvelous Entertainment has been generating some horny mirth in Japan and overseas. The virtual reality game parody video has been created by the “Department of Hyper Enormous Boobage Development” to showcase “New Rinjokan”, a game machine offering a more realistic experience. The solution to the…

We all like to compare numbers, especially when it comes to the number of people you’ve slept with. But we accept defeat when it comes to Yuhei Takashima, who has apparently admitted to sex with over 12,000 women. That’s not a typo: more than twelve thousand! The former Yokohama school principal was not just into…

Art imitates life, as the aphorism goes, but life also imitates art. Visitors to Japan are sometimes disappointed that the country doesn’t live up to the stereotypes: Where are the geisha? Where are the robots? Where are the hordes of anime girls? Where are all the molesters on the trains? Wait, what? Yes, some people…

Some ladies on Twitter have amused us by trying to copy an anime character. Well, there’s absolutely nothing new about that. But this is cosplay with a particular focus on one body part — one of our favorites. The girls attempted to copy Hestia from DanMachi (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls…

Go into a kiosk in a station on the Tokyo Metro subway system and take a look at the drinks. There’s always a colorful selection of beverages. But perhaps none quite so colorful as this. In fact, the energy drink is proving so popular you may not even be able to find a can of…

Japan, sometimes you defeat even us. We love all its kinkiness and its vibrant sex scene, and we deplore the hypocrisy of the establishment that puts people like Megumi Igarashi on trial or who censor gay art. We’ve seen a lot of Japanese porn — perhaps too much. Surely nothing can take us by surprise…

Larger ladies can be cute. Though few and far between in Japan, some degree of love handles come in very handy (literally) and make a nice contrast to the chopping-board flatness of many women. Despite the lack, there is demand. We’ve even seen foreigners who deliberately wanted larger local ladies. There are chubby girl idols,…
