When you think of Japanese porn, undoubtedly all sorts of weird and wonderful designs come to mind. But you might be surprised to learn that we have Japan to thank for some of the most iconic porn. Like many other cultures, Japan has a complicated relationship with porn. But what makes Japan so interesting is that it somehow seems to exist on both the liberal and conservative extremes at the same time. The thing is, Japanese culture sees porn as a natural and healthy part of life. And this is nothing new. Shunga, erotic art, and woodblock prints depicting various pornographic sexual acts were popular forms of entertainment and education from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Needless to say, they are very open-minded about what you do and with whom. So many kinky, fetish, and sexual porn trends originate from Japan. When you combine this adventurous approach to sex porn with world-famous Japanese design, you get some pretty amazing sex porn. Today, I’m going to introduce you to my favorite Japanese sex porn toy brands and their Japanese-inspired sex porn, with a little bit of history thrown in. Tenga has truly redefined sex porn toy design, especially for male masturbators. They moved away from realistic pussy masturbators and instead opted for minimalist, abstract designs. Founder Koichi Matsumoto wanted to fill a gap in the market for a quality sex porn toy brand that prided itself on making sex porn that was safe, beautiful, and appealing to a wider audience. Tenga’s journey began with a 5 CUP masturbator and has since grown to a vast assortment sold and loved worldwide. Every Tenga product strives to balance perfect design with superior stimulation. Tenga produces both disposable and reusable masturbators, from very affordable masturbators to more expensive and luxurious vibrating masturbators. One of Tenga’s most popular products, the Tenga Egg, is a discreet masturbator for men. Each stretchy egg is lined with a unique texture that provides stimulation as it slides over the penis. Each egg can be used a few times and then discarded. The fun, non-intimidating design, and relatively low price make these eggs a great entry-level porn toy. They’re also great for traveling and make a great, cheeky gift for the penis owner in your life. The Tenga Flip Zero is a step above in terms of design and is one of Tenga’s quality products. Made with a tougher ABS plastic frame and the most complex stimulation chamber on the market, the Flip Zero is perfect for penis owners looking for a more luxurious masturbation experience. But the best thing about the Flip Zero is its innovative flip design. With two halves connected by a hinge, it’s much easier to clean and dry than a standard Fleshlight. There’s even a vibrating version for extra stimulation.
Japanese manufacturer Hitachi initially marketed the Magic Wand as a cure-all for sore muscles. They chose to turn a blind eye to what people were using vibrators for. The Magic Wand was a big hit in the US, popularized by Betty Dodson, who used it in a female masturbation workshop. But Hitachi wasn’t as keen on it as you might think. They didn’t want their big-name company to be associated with sex porn. Hitachi had trouble distributing the Magic Wand in the US, so the US company Vibratex took over distribution. Despite this, Hitachi still wasn’t selling as a sex porn toy overall. But luckily, a rebranding that removed the Hitachi name was enough to convince this powerhouse to continue manufacturing sex porn toys. So, although many continue to call it Hitachi, the brand officially got a new name: Magic Wand Original. The lineup has also expanded, offering more models to choose from.
