The Shorter They Stand, The Harder They Come

Tall girls have it twice as hard in Japan: men their height are rare, and according to the new hit book “Sex and Science’s Curious Relationship,” (a translation of Mary Roach’s “Bonk”) they have a harder time getting off during sex, too. Japanese researchers have discovered a high correlation between orgasm ability and the distance between the clitoris and vaginal opening. Because this distance scales with height, the taller a girl is, the more trouble she has reaching orgasm.

The book is a lot of fun, covering everything from orgasms to impotence to the history of the science of sex. Japanese version here, and English original here.

Maria Ozawa Takes #1 AV Ranking in China

Maria Ozawa, a 23 year-old half-Canadian from Hokkaido, has just become the number one adult video star in China, according to adult search portals.  Debuting on the AV scene in 2005, her exotic (from the Japanese point of view) looks and slender body took her to adult stardom. According to Yahoo! Japan, who snagged an exclusive interview with the hottie, it was probably her gravure appearance on the Chinese edition of FHM magazine that took her to the #1 spot. She’s so hot, in fact, that she has her own onahole masturbator modeled after her!

Interested in tapping this fine 35-23-34 product of cross-borders cooperation? She likes guys who listen to her more than she talks, and her personal sex symbol is Shun Oguri from the drama Hana Yori Dango. She also has a pink Nintendo DS and Playstation 2, but elite Halo skills probably won’t take you too far with this international masturbatory object (though chaining yourself up might).

PickUp Asia：Seduction Masters of the East

Note from Taro: I’ve met RedpoleQ and other crew members of PickupAsia before, and can attest to their skills. We spent an afternoon in Shibuya testing out the “day game” techniques with very surprising results. I never would have thought that J-girls would respond like that, but they did…and I was happy

Ever see a guy walk into a Seoul nightclub or a Shibuya bar, and make out with a stunning girl ten minutes later? If he doesn’t look like Tom Cruise,there’s a good chance that he’s studied with PickUp Asia, the masters of the Asian pick-up scene.

Nampa. Speed seduction. Sarging. Whatever you want to call it, the art of the pick-up has turned from a unconscious ability of a few lucky guys to a precision science and a booming industry. Across the world, seduction gurus like Mystery and Neil Strauss teach “average frustrated chumps” how to win girls beyond their wildest dreams. Like a lot of internet gurus, it sounds too fantastic to be true, but they’ve got the videos to back up their claims- YouTube has hundreds of clips of these guys turning a five-minute conversation into a phone number, a kiss, or even a trip to the apartment (or a love hotel) right then and there.

Asian girls may seem different at first, say the guys at PickUp Asia, but in the end they’ve got the same chemistry, desires, and feelings as any other women, and can be picked up in the same way. There are various schools of seduction in Europe and the Americas, but PickUp Asia is the first to operate in Hong Kong, Seoul, and Tokyo, the biggest metropolises in the East. From nightclubs to train rides to street corners, they use intensive weekend boot camps to acclimate guys to “the game” and get them out and meeting women by the hundreds. While the group started small, it recently caught the eye of a Hong Kong TV station (interview HERE).

Even if you’re not in Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, or Hong Kong, these guys are worth checking out. They have a free 10-part course on Asian women, a forum for learning and meeting wingmates, a weekly skypecast, and various articles on their website.

Phallic Veneration at Kanamara Matsuri

Kanamara Matsuri is a yearly festival in Kawasaki, Japan, where throngs of onlookers gather to cheer on a parade of giant phalluses. Legend has it that in the olden days, a sharp-toothed demon hid inside a Kawasakian girl’s vagina, and a local blacksmith built an iron penis to break its teeth and free the young woman. The penis resides in the local temple most of the time, but one day a year, it is taken out and paraded around the town, its carriers shouting “deka mara (big penis)!”

Shops line the streets of Kawasaki, selling the typical festival assortment of mochi, chicken skewers, and beer, but the souvenirs in everyone’s mouths were these penis-shaped lollipops:

Kanamara matsuri only happens on the first Sunday of every April, but Flickr has a great collection of photos from the event, and if you’d like to see the object of veneration, you can find it year-round at the Kanamara shrine. Many of its visitors are gawking tourists, but natives also visit the shrine to pray for fertility, good luck in bed, and protection from STD’s.

Daisuke Shima Heralds in 10 Years of an Erect Japan

This erection has nothing to do with English pronunciation difficulties. Daisuke Shima, celebrated actor and the star of the upcoming series 『ママはニューハーフ」(”Mom is a Transvestite”), welcomed in the tenth anniversary of Viagra’s Japanese debut by launching its “Hardness is a Man’s Honorable Decoration (硬さは男の勲章)” campaign.

ED is becoming a big problem in Japan, with 1 in 5 men reporting only grapefruit-level hardness on Pfizier’s highly scientific scale of konjak (jelly) to ripe, red apple. To men who just can’t get it up, Viagra is a godsend, but even those without ED are beginning to try the drug. Mr. Shima reports, “Some men say that if you normally have wood, Viagra turns it metal!”

Why might a penis as hard as a grapefruit be cause for concern, when it’s listed on the scale as “plenty sufficient for penetration”? Interestingly enough, while most agree with the western stereotype that Asian men tend to be on the small side, the Japanese hold the fierce belief that they are much harder than Americans. Getting it up isn’t just a matter of being able to get off or not, it’s a point of national pride.

Yaeba: Japan’s Crush on the Snaggletooth

Ever noticed something a little…different about the mouths of Japanese models, celebrities, and cute girls on the street? It may not be apparent right away, but once you notice, it’s hard to miss- a good number of them have snaggle-teeth! A pair of yaeba are considered very cute to many Japanese. From convention booth babes to actresses to Japan’s princess Masako, yaeba are a common sight in Japanese media.

Unlike America, where teeth are straightened in childhood and crooked teeth often signify poverty or a lack of care, orthodontics never really caught on in Japan, and there’s no implied connection between straight teeth and good health or social standing. Maekawa at the Yaeba Superstar blog writes in Japanese for the most part, but he has this to say to English-speaking visitors:

Thank you for coming.
The crooked tooth is forgiven by most of Japanese. In fact, most of Japanese feel it cute and love it.
Amazingly some of Japanese girl apply Yaeba to their own teeth.This is not for Halloween but for making them charming.

Along with his frequently-updated blog of yaeba in the media, Maeka also maintains a best-of-yaeba photo gallery, full of young Japanese beauties with overlapping front canines. As long as yaeba fans like Maeka keep blogging, and superstars like Seiko Matsuda Nozomi Tsuji (above) keep showing us how sexy double teeth can be, yaeba are likely to be a fixture in Japan for a long time to come.

Osada Steve: King of Tokyo’s Shibari Scene

(Photo copyright Max Hodges)

Ever heard of Osada Steve? If you’re not a regular on the traditional Japanese bondage scene, you may not have, but within the shibari houses of Tokyo’s seedy Kabukicho district, he’s the Man. Shibari, also known as kinbaku, is the Japanese art of erotic bondage, differentiated from Western bondage by its focus on ties that actively pleasure the bottom, as well as its minimalist, often asymmetric, aesthetic. While not the only culture to enjoy tying their lovers up, the Japanese may be more open about it than most; here’s a demonstration of the shibari “rope harness” on the prime-time comedy show Yarisugi Koji:

Osada Steve is one of the few living grandmasters of this art (yes, in Japan there’s a grandmaster for everything), and he teaches classes, performs live, and runs several Shibari-oriented websites. He also has a (NSFW) flickr stream, where you can see artful shots of his beautiful ropework.

The star student of Osada Eikichi, usually recognized as popularizing shibari and bringing it into the Japanese mainstream, he is the first and last word in traditional Japanese rope arts, and mesmerizing to watch- his hands dance over his subject, rhythmically and deliberately, as he combines sexual power-play and minimalist art. A review of Osada Steve performing at Loft Plus One captures the essence of performance shibari, a stage art exclusive to Japan:

A moonlit stage and a large, gently moving, white cloth bag create an air of mystery and conjure up a world of the surreal where anything might happen as if in a dream. Luckily for us this pouch contains and this dream revolves around the ravishing Asagi Ageha, Steve’s partner of choice of late and a beautiful girl that’s fast becoming a major star in the Tokyo SM nightclub scene.

After emerging from her silky cocoon the butterfly Ageha is captured in a beautifully executed Tasuki shibari before being lifted aloft by Steve into a graceful Aomuke zuri (face-up suspension) and spun as if on a silken web. This is a gorgeous image of kinbaku and worthy of the great Akechi Denki. Without missing a beat Steve then folds his partner into a graceful ball and suspends her head down for more vertiginous spins. The effect is dramatic as the sensei propels the bound and spinning girl out and over the audience before treating her to a thorough waxing that leaves her dazed.

By now these partners have performed so often that every move is picture perfect and the intimate understanding between them always results in great drama and beauty. This is one dream it’s a shame to wake up from.

Hear an exclusive interview with the man himself, as well as walking narration that unlocks the secrets of all the dark stairwells and neon facades just east of Shinjuku station, with the Tokyo Realtime: Kabukicho guide from White Rabbit Press.

Tokyo Realtime explores Tokyo’s red light district

Tokyo’s red light district of Kabukicho is renowned as being the hub of sin and vice in heart of Shinjuku. It’s not the only area of course, but it does have a very large concentration of host and hostess clubs, bars, restaurants, soaplands (brothels), and lots of fun-loving crowds of men and women out for a good time.

Setting foot in this area can be intimidating for foreign visitors. Aside from the fact that foreigners are subtly prohibited from entering the more fun places, the types of folks in Kabukicho are very different from what you’ll find in Ginza, Shibuya, and other tourist-friendly places. Even for those well-acquainted with Tokyo, Kabukicho still has its mysteries hidden behind big doors with scary guys wearing earpieces standing in front of them. You won’t find a swingers club unless you already know where you’re going.

While it’s not an erotic guide to getting you into the best Tokyo soaplands, White Rabbit Press’ Tokyo Realtime: Kabukicho is a new audio guide aimed at letting you know what on earth is going on in that den of fun and sin.

The including an area map and photo book, the audio guide is perfect for putting onto an audio players and taking to the streets for an hour of highly educational wandering whether you’re coming to Tokyo or not.

Now, once you’ve arrived and are comfortable with the area, you can take the next step and venture through some of those forbidden doors. We have, but like the rest of the locals we prefer to keep our favorite swingers club secret

Get your own audio guide to Kabukicho, acclaimed by Playboy magazine, in the online shop.
