Tohoku deri heru gals back at work, dispensing consolation to shell-shocked quake victims

Even the horrifying death and devastation that struck northeastern Japan on March 11 could not suppress the human sex drive for long. Friday (June 10) reports that sex businesses were among the first to recover, many as soon as one week after the disaster.

“I was back at my job on March 18,” says Kitty-san, a 21-year-old employee of a delivery health (out-call sex service) service named Ainori in Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture. “From the day we reopened demand was even higher than it was before the disaster. Many customers had suffered from the catastrophe, and had even lost family members. They justified their urges, saying they ‘sought psychological relief’ or ‘wanted to be consoled.’ Read more

The SMAP Summit

A weekend trilateral summit among the leaders of Japan, South Korea and China featured the impromptu (uh-huh) a cappella serenading of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao by Japanese male idol group SMAP.

Kinky couple gets it on by letting hubby watch from the sidelines

“My hubby is really flaky, in that he can’t get it on with me unless he sees me having sex with another man beforehand.”

Thus begins a ribald tale from the April issue of women’s soft porn publication Ai no Taiken Special Deluxe, as introduced on the pages of Shukan Bunshun (May 26).

“Last week I had sex with a man I’d met via a swapping club we belong to,” the woman continues. “We checked into a hotel with twin beds, and while I got into bed and started humping the guy, my husband sat on the other bed and watched us. While looking at us making it in the sack, he began getting a humongous woody.

“Lots of times when we do this, the men will proposition me, when my hubby’s out of earshot, saying ‘Your old man’s a real perv. What do you say we meet up together, just the two of us?’ But if my husband’s not there watching us, I don’t feel anything at all from these guys. After they leave the hotel room, I’ll always say to him, ‘Honey, you’re the best of them all!’ and then when we get it on, the sex is great. The thing is, it’s only good if I ball a another guy beforehand. Read more

Carnal desire and survival at Tohoku evacuation centers

After disaster strikes, issues like food supply, clothing availability, and adequate shelter are known to be of top concern. Shukan Shincho (May 5-12), however, adds that carnal pleasures are not far behind — even following the Great East Japan Earthquake in March, in which some Tohoku evacuees have been struggling to find places for intimate activities.

The city of Otsuchicho, Iwate Prefecture, whose number of deceased and missing persons totals 1,700 (one of whom is the mayor), has members of the Japan Self-Defense Force, police officers, and fire department personnel on the ground making strides in finding victims in the midst of heavily damaged and burned buildings.

At one street corner, the magazine’s reporter sees two elementary school boys looking around. Perhaps they are looking for their parents or lost items? When asked, they said, “Juhachikin.”

They were looking for what? Read more

Fuzoku job on a gal’s work history points to rocky road for marriage

Sex workers are people too, and they yearn for marriage and family. The fact that many come from broken homes, suggests Nikkan Gendai (May 10), is all the more reason why they desire a normal family life for themselves.

Unfortunately, happy endings are the exception rather than the rule.

Michie, age 29, has been working in a Yoshiwara soapland (erotic bathhouse) for six years, and has seen many of her colleagues desert the sudsy sex trade and head for the altar. Read more

Post-quake woes set Fukushima’s foamy funspots on the road to ruin

“When I was in the Onahama district of Iwaki City to view the tsunami damage, one of the locals advised me to check a certain place out,” writes the reporter for Spa! (May 3-10). “I walked along streets lined with rubble and eventually came to some fairly robust ferroconcrete structures that were still standing.”

Onahama, according to a resident in his 60s who’d been evacuated from his flattened home, had been quite prosperous thanks to its local fishing industry. Perhaps it was for this reason that it also had a thriving red-light district. Read more
