Japan's Love Joule opens masturbation bar for ladies in Shibuya



Oct 2, 2012
Tokyo - Love Joule, a bar located in Shibuya entertainment district of Tokyo, opened a masturbation bar in July that is "the first love and sex bar dedicated to women" in Japan, according to Love Joule's website.
Tokyo Reporter says that Megumi Nagakawa, the bar's proprietor observes that a bar typically has the shelves behind its service counter lined with bottles of alcohol, but Love Joule's masturbation bar adorns its wall with vibrators and other sex toys for women so that female patrons can have confidence to ask for service. Rocket News reports the shelves behind the bar counter are stocked "with over 50 different kinds of female sex toys to help get patrons in the mood." According to Megumi Nagakawa, Love Joule bar's proprietor, “Customers are happy that they have a place they can start talking about masturbation from the moment they sit down. Many people still see female masturbation as a ‘Pandora’s Box.’ It’s not something you can easily talk about at regular bars.” Rocket News parodies the hush-hush attitude and general public ignorance about female sexuality and masturbation with a tongue-in-cheek information for curious men: "Women (do) masturbate (rumor has it they burp and pass gas too, but researchers still lack conclusive evidence)." Tokyo Reporter says Nagakawa describes the atmosphere at the Love Joule bar as "fashionable and sexy in a different kind of space — perfect for girls-only discussions or a date.” Nagakawa adds, “Once they take a seat, customers are able to experience a pleasant place in which they can openly discuss masturbation. Since most people view female masturbation as something of a mystery or taboo, it is not a usual topic at typical bars.” The Huffington Post reports that Love Joule is already popular with women in the commercial sex and adult film industry. According to Tokyo Reporter, bar patrons include women from the fuzoku commercial sex industry and adult video actresses. The bar's Facebook page says the former adult video actress Nayuka Mine, and a fashion model Sayo Hayakawa, visited the bar recently. To protect ladies' privacy at the bar, only men in the company of ladies are allowed. Bikyamasrreports that its reporter Akiko Teishi, visited the bar and spoke to some of the bar's patrons. Sayama, a nurse and customer at the bar, said: "I go because it is a safe place and I don’t have to worry about trying to brush off men all the time. Add in that it is also a great place to drink and talk about what we women love to talk about, sex and guys, that’s also a big pull." Rocket News reports that Ikuko Ikeshita, a doctor with the Ikeshita Ladies' Clinic, told the Japanese language website, ZakZak, that in recent times, “there has been a movement to do away with the stigma surrounding female masturbation in Japan." He pointed to the rise in websites dedicated to topics on female sexuality and stores that sell female sex toys. Bikyamasr concludes: "The opening, in many ways, signaled the dramatic change in women discussing their sexual needs in the country, after decades of embarrassment and negative gazes when women discussed sex or masturbation." According to BikyamasrZakZakreports that Ikuko Ikeshita comments: “Traditionally, whenever a female patient would come in with a problem like having a sex toy get stuck, hospital staff would look at them coldly. Now people realize that it’s just something that happens.”

WARNING FROM RAEL: For those who don't use their intelligence at its
full capacity, the label "selected by RAEL" on some articles does not
mean that I agree with their content or support it. "Selected by RAEL"
means that I believe it is important for the people of this planet to
know about what people think or do, even when what they think or do is
completely stupid and against our philosophy. When I selected articles
in the past about stupid Christian fundamentalists in America praying
for rain, I am sure no Rael-Science reader was stupid enough to believe
that I was supporting praying to change the weather. So, when I select
articles which are in favor of drugs, anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish, racist,
revisionist, or inciting hatred against any group or religion, or any
other stupid article, it does not mean that I support them. It just
means that it is important for all human beings to know about them.
Common sense, which is usually very good among our readers, is good
enough to understand that. When, like in the recent articles on drug
decriminalization, it is necessary to make it clearer, I add a comment,
which in this case was very clear: I support decriminalizing all drugs,
as it is stupid to throw depressed and sad people (as only depressed and
sad people use drugs) in prison and ruin their life with a criminal
record. That does not mean that there is any change to the Message which
says clearly that we must not use any drug except for medical purposes.
The same applies to the freedom of expression which must be absolute.
That does not mean again of course that I agree with anti-Jews,
anti-Semites, racists of any kind or anti-Raelians. But by knowing your
enemies or the enemies of your values, you are better equipped to fight
them. With love and respect of course, and with the wonderful sentence
of the French philosopher Voltaire in mind: "I disapprove of what you
say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".

"Ethics" is simply a last-gasp attempt by deist conservatives and
orthodox dogmatics to keep humanity in ignorance and obscurantism,
through the well tried fermentation of fear, the fear of science and
new technologies.
 
There is nothing glorious about what our ancestors call history, 
it is simply a succession of mistakes, intolerances and violations.
 
On the contrary, let us embrace Science and the new technologies
unfettered, for it is these which will liberate mankind from the
myth of god, and free us from our age old fears, from disease,
death and the sweat of labour.
