Convenience stores are, well, convenient for a number of reasons: the food and drink available, paying your bills, using the copy machine, or popping to the bathroom.
Some conbini have a rule that you are meant to inform the staff on duty that you wish to use the toilet. Many people don’t bother to ask permission but it seems one customer in Fukuoka took this rule a bit far.
The 28-year-old Atsushi Iwao was such a stickler for the rules, in fact, that he even specified exactly what he planned to do inside the public convenience. And it wasn’t a number one or number two.
Indeed, as he politely laid out to the female clerk at the store, he wanted to jerk off.
This alone would be strange enough, but Iwao asked permission to masturbate while purchasing a pack of condoms (suggesting he was planning to either use the condoms to contain his mess or wanted to empty his pipes, Ben Stiller-style, so as not to go on a date with a loaded weapon).
The clerk, naturally enough, denied his request. After all, she’s probably the one who has to clean the toilet later in the shift. The persistent (and horny) Iwao made an identical request at the store in the same month.
This was way back in October 2021 and, according to news reports, it took cops until October 2022 to figure out who Iwao is and arrest him for alleged obscene conduct. He did something similar in December 2021 at a local drugstore, making him a serial, er, something.
The hapless wannabe masturbator has apparently admitted all three charges. He presumably got a kick out of making such a request to the young women behind the counters. Or perhaps he rather hoped that the ladies would offer to lend him a hand with his task.
In a quirky detail, Iwao is actually a junior high school teacher responsible for shaping young minds. Let’s hope he didn’t try to pass on any tips about using convenience stores.
We are certain that a reasonable amount of masturbation does take place in convenience store toilets, especially from young boys or men who can’t get privacy at home (Japanese apartments and houses are cramped and have thin walls, and families often sleep together in the same room). Conbini toilets, like train station toilets, no doubt also accommodate the occasional quickie by horny couples. Even the staff are fucking when customers are not around. Just don’t ask permission.
