Sex

The school athletic meeting he’d been sent to cover was presumably far from fascinating for Naoki Watanabe, as instead of writing about race winners and stellar performances, the 29-year-old journalist hid in the toilet and attempted to secure some rather more salacious scoops.

Quite how Watanabe-san intended to incorporate this clandestine coverage into his final story will never be known, as the roving reporter was caught before he could get that far — a tip-off from a parent resulting in his arrest; although not before the 29-year-old had managed to film two women in an adjoining cubicle.

Thoroughly disgusted with its employees actions, the newspaper confirmed punitive measure will be taken against the young reporter, a company official kindly supplying other publications with an unintentionally pun-based proclamation by saying, “After getting to the bottom of the incident, we’ll take strict measures against him.”

For any frustrated male in Japan hankering for something other than his own handy work, a myriad of options are available; specialist outlets boasting a vast array of lifelike latex lady parts and even mechanical masturbators.

However, for the bloke who’s a little bashful about buying such things, a homemade alternative is available; some cups, a few sponges and a bit of lubricant being the only requirements.

Yes, that’s it. A packet of plastic cups and some cheap kitchen accessories are all that’s necessary. And as the pictures below demonstrate, conjuring them into a captivating cranny is equally straightforward.

Then with the aid of a cleverly folded futon, it’s just a matter of getting the height and angle right.

And away you go.*

And if all that’s not enough, go and check out what the same enterprising chap can muster up with a bit of fake hair and some dodgy briefs.

For silicone sex seekers held back by hygiene concerns, emotional discomfort, or a simple lack of funds, help may finally be at hand — providing a willing partner can be found; the simple application of a mannequin-like mask creating a convincing — if somewhat disturbing — love doll effect.

Plus, just like their expensively constructed counterparts, different ‘heads’ can be used.

And whilst the changing of masks might take a little longer than the simple removal of a head, overall it’s probably an improvement as there’ll be no fear of it falling off during especially vigorous activity.

All in all, an option that may eventually lead to a huge number of latex lay-offs.

Or more than likely, won’t.
