The closest thing to it that I’ve ever seen is a UFO catcher machine in a game center. The underwear were folded up in small plastic balls (half see-through and half opaque) about 8cm diameter. You put in 100 yen (maybe 200?) and operate the mechanical 3-fingered crane to try and get your prize.
:eek:
I must be getting old. I don’t find that remotely appealing and am continually amazed at what will turn some sick fuckers on.
Sounds similar to the concept behind Gmask.
Yes but was it new or used underwear? The question was if used panties could be purchased (used to be, don’t know if they still can)
in vending machines (questionable if they are) in train station (no).
Oh, OK. Well, it was a long time ago (back when I couldn’t read Japanese, so I don’t know if they were used. I could see they were panties though, and each sphere had a different insert with a picture of a different girl, so I guess I assumed they were used. Is there a market for unused panties among the male demographic? This arcade was across the road from a train station (Nodahanshin), admittedly not in it.
GMask is/was a program commonly uses to pixilate/mosaic porn, and for porn viewers to remove the pixilation/mosaic: http://ohinternet.com/Gmask
On edit: Looks like Student Driver beat me to it.
Oh, shit, I shouldn’t have used the word “beat”.
Or “shit”.
Since it was a while back, there is a possibility that they were used. Laws have changed since then.
Do zombies wear skirts? You mean the ones featured on Snopes? In the article, they show some “breast scarves” which they had originally said were fashion items, but made a correction to state it was for an art show after I emailed them with the specifics.
I saw a Japanese porn movie posted on Usenet that had a scene where they used a speculum to open the girl up so the camera could see inside of her. On the closeup of her insides the outer genitalia was pixilated, but her insides, including her cervix, was uncensored. I found it odd.
The B.B.C. won’t broadcast recognizable brand names or logos, because they’re considered advertising and the B.B.C. isn’t allowed to show advertising.
Not true.
I’m watching the World Snooker Championship right now on BBC2. Sponsored by betfred.com, with clear logos on both of the players shirts and the referee’s.
Here’s a WAG:
Japanese men are still men, just like any other group of men, driven by sexual desires. However, they don’t get the same access to “normal” porn that men in other countries do. So, they turn to whatever they can get.
Okay, so they can’t get porn showing pussies, so they’ll go for porn showing panty shots or anuses or whatever they can get. They can’t get a decent uncensored vaginal sex scene, so they’ll go for what they can get: bukkake or tentacle porn or whatever.
It seems like they’re repressed in some ways (with the laws forbidding ordinary porn) so their repressed sexuality bubbles out in whatever ways are legal. I suppose that would explain those game shows, though I don’t have any experience with those.
My main Japanese porn experience has been in the category of “doujinshi” (meaning “same characters” iirc) which are fan-made comics (manga) based on pre-existing characters. Some of these include sexual content. And it’s very interesting in that they can’t draw an actual pussy, but they can show skin-tight panties that reveal all the details of a pussy (to the extent that no real-world panties ever could… to the best of my knowledge). It is very weird. And sometimes a penis is completely censored behind a black box, while sometimes there’s a thin strip of blackness that only covers the boundary between the glans and the shaft. Hardly seems worth the effort, if you ask me.
