While most bras are designed to enhance the wearer’s bust, some in Japan do the opposite. Because having small breasts is, well, apparently cuter (and let’s be honest, less likely to draw unwanted attention if you travel on public transport or work in a conservative office). As we have reported before, this is a country…

We consider ourselves pretty extreme onahole users. We always check out the latest masturbator arrivals on the market and have tried out a vast array of toys over the years. But even we had never thought of doing this. Until now. How about enjoying a pocket pussy while you wear underwear? So you could be…

When it comes to gender, Japan does things differently. That guy may well be a girl, and that girl may well be a guy. Androgyny is a firmly established aspect of beauty and fashion. Indeterminate gender is sexy and alluring. Deception, the other hand, is just plain annoying. Cosplayer Rei Dunois is known for a…

One of our pet projects is finding out what happens to idols and celebrities are they stop being gravure, music, or adult video idols. Sometimes they can struggle to find work and their careers can take unexpected turns. Some go into acting. Some graduate to porn. Some work in nurseries. Some go into hostessing or…

Japanese actress and singer Erika Sawajiri was in the news recently after her drug bust in late 2019, the latest in a long line of scandals and ups and downs for the celebrity. The 33-year-old has officially retired from the industry after receiving a suspended sentence in February and we doubt we will be seeing…

We recently saw a list of prefectures where the most beautiful women in Japan live. How accurate is it? And what’s the reasoning behind the choices? The list originated in a survey put out by ranking site Goo asking people to submit suggestions for the prefecture in Japan where the local ladies are the prettiest….

We spotted these photos on Twitter of a derelict former love hotel in the city of Asahikawa in Hokkaido, northern Japan. The hotel Nokyo (or Noukyou, のうきょう), whose name literally means “agricultural cooperative,” had a brilliantly original farming theme. When all its rooms were full, it would apparently display “Great Harvest” but “Crop Failure” when…

With the coronavirus pandemic still raging all over the world, many people are stuck at home. If they are stuck there with a partner, the chances are they are passing the time by getting intimate together. There’s nothing quite like sex to take one’s mind off a crisis. Failing that, there’s always masturbation, so we…

These news stories are coming thick and fast. Just Monday we reported on the emergence of a service using Zoom to offer a virtual hostess club experience. Now there is SmaCaba, another remote hostess club service. With a typically Japanese mashup of “smartphone” and “kyabakura” (cabaret club, a euphemism for hostess club) for its name,…

With many if not most universities in Japan starting their spring semesters with online-only teaching and classes, students are unable to do what they do best: hang out on campus. Instead, they are stuck at home, not quite on lockdown per se but also unable to go to their universities, and probably lacking the financial…
