Geeks and Maids

Japan is back on the radar for another day this week. This time it is the Maid Cafes of Tokyo.

Japan, Yoghurt, and Catholicism? Part 1

Once again the Japanese have made my news feed for the strange and unusual.

This time it is a Quasi-Catholic Sex Cult that indulges in yoghurt. It's not the yoghurt that is so odd, but that it becomes a lube for non-penetrative sex on the alter.

Not sure who to blame for this, the Catholics or the Japanese, but we do know that as far as taking things past the norm even for us fet-freaks, they excel at it.

Hello What?

Once again the Japanese have won the fetish game with their Love Hotels. Not a new phenomena by any stretch, but the variety that is to be found is what makes it interesting. Anything can be perverted, or should I say converted into a useful montage for fantasy and sex.

And you can watch this YouTube segment on Love Hotels to see more Hello Kitty and other fantastical rooms for love and pain.

Uhhh...CHARISMA MAN???
