Tokyo Reporter has an intriguing little report from a tabloid.
In the January 31 issue of Shukan Asahi, Minori Kitahara expressed concern over the popularity of a male masturbation aid that attempts to simulate the feeling of sex with an underage girl.
Kitahara is a fortysomething female “sexpert” and bestselling author. She was apparently shocked — we weren’t — by the high sales ranks on Amazon.co.jp for such onahole masturbation sleeves as the Innocent Little Sister Onahole and Seven Teen Bordeaux Onahole, which replicate a sexual experience with a Japanese teenaged virgin.
“I don’t think it is wrong to have that kind of desire,” she says. “However, as a woman now, and previously a girl, I feel strange living in a society where the lolicon fetish represents the majority.”
“Lolicon” is of course a fetish for younger-looking, innocent girls (importantly, not necessarily being young per se).
Kitahara doesn’t seem to highlight teenager idols, such as young Gravure idols and music idol groups — in which girls below the age of consent frequently pose in alluring, though “innocent” bikini photo shoots — but feels the onaholes are more of a worrying trend.
Should we be worried? Is this a healthy new and undefinable sexual trend? Or does it represent a problem with society and individuals? Could it even be a cause of Japan’s declining birthrate?!
Kitahara goes further: “Is this now not a sickness?”
