20 Kinks that Are Big in Japan
1. Japanese Rope Bondage
Shibari is an extremely intricate and elaborate rope tying art that evolved from warrior practices, tying prisoners of war. Today the binding techniques are used by rope artists for Japanese BDSM. It is a uniquely beautiful practice that is as popular for its aesthetic as it is for its use in bondage.

3. Absolute Territory (Zettai Ryouiki)
Zettai Ryouiki means “absolute territory” and refers to sock and skirt length, that is, to the amount of bare skin between the boundaries of the socks and the skirt. This zone is considered extremely erotic. It is a Japanese fetish because it comes from anime and manga culture.
4. Zentai Fetish
Zentai is a word from “zenshin taitsu” which means full-body tights. This is an unusual Japanese fetish—head-to-toe colorful Spandex Lycra, form-fitting Zentai suits create a cartoonish, depersonalized image that has been popularly used in advertising and music videos.

6. Gokkun
Gokkun is a cum guzzling kink. This fetish is also a Japanese porn staple, where a cum-thirsty woman gulps down cups of cum from one or more men.
7. Omorashi
Omorashi is a Japanese fetish linked to piss play or golden showers.
Omorashi is specifically the sexual excitement some people receive from watching someone wet themselves. Watching the urine’s wet spot spread across the clothing, or trickle from under the skirt down the legs is the source of the thrill.

8. Tamakeri Ball Busting
Tamakeri ball busting or crotch kicking is the Japanese BDSM fetish. But ball busting, cock and ball torture (CBT), and ball trampling are widespread BDSM kinks throughout various cultures wherein masochist males enjoy having his balls kicked, kneed, and hit by a dominant woman or male partner.

9. Nyotaimori
Who hasn’t dreamed of dining on fine sushi, beautifully arranged on the naked body of an even more beautiful model? This is one of many imaginative and beautiful Japanese fetishes.
You can hire models specifically for this purpose for your next lavish shin dig, and wealthy people often feature such a sushi platter at their wild parties.
10. Wakamezake
Eating sushi from a nude woman is one thing. Wakamezake is drinking alcohol from a woman’s body, specifically the valley that her lap forms between her legs and private parts. The booze is consumed by sipping and lapping.
11. Hentai
Hentai is a kind of pornographic illustration, or Japanese BDSM or fetish anime and manga. Hentai features graphic, erotic depictions and scenes.
Although hentai is modern pop culture, it is part of a lengthy Japanese cultural tradition of fetish art or erotic illustration. Shunga is a predecessor, and shunga art features unusual sexual depictions.
12. Tentacle Erotica
A famous example of shunga art from 1814 also reveals the long history of the Japanese fetish, tentacle erotica. A shunga painting called The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife featured a nude woman tangled up in the tentacles of her octopus lover.
Tentacles are basically parts of real or imaginary creatures that can penetrate.
Tentacle erotica, or shokushu goukan, is a Japanese fetish that translates “tentacle violation.” The depicted scenes often feature rape or coercion fantasies.
Tentacle erotica has been criticized as bestiality. Its defenders point to its history in cultural mythology and folklore. It is not unlike classical mythology in western culture, where there are many stories of hybrid god-animals and sex or rape, such as Leda and the Swan.

13. Unagi Fetish
The unagi or eel fetish may be an urban legend or porn thing. I haven’t found anything with real people who really get off on having an eel inside them. The logistics are also confusing—how does the eel know where to swim? And when it comes to anal penetration, how does the eel come back out?
Is this Japanese fetish real, or is it just part of tentacle fantasies, played out by kinky folks in porn for entertainment? I don’t know the answer. But when it comes to BDSM and kink, there are no limits, and the Marquis de Sade wrote about using electric eels as a torture punishment.
14. Bakunyū
Bakunyū translates to “exploding breasts.” It means having breasts so enormous they are about to explode. This is another Japanese fetish that plays out in the graphic arts realm through erotic animation.
But it’s not just a Japanese fantasy—for a few minutes in American history, obscenely large silicone breasts were a big thing.
