New Japanese fetish porn genre - "Tamakeri"
Wai Wai explores the phenomenal popularity of "tamakeri", a new Japanese fetish porn genre that features guys getting kicked in the groin. Some quotes from the article:
[Fan:] "I recently asked my girlfriend if she'd kick me, but she looked at me as though I was some sort of weirdo. All I can do is watch the videos. The more painful it looks, the more excited I get."
[Intellectual:] "Why do movies that involve harming a man's penis sell so well in this country, which runs on an ideology of 'penisim?' It's because there's some sort of latent masochism in every man."
[Producer:] "You can't use professional actors, because you're making films about men being kicked in their most vital organ. If you did use them, they'd soon be put out of work. So we advertised in S&M magazines and over the Internet to find guys to appear in tamakeri videos. We had over 200 applicants. There weren't any particular standards regarding who was hired. I suppose the only requirement was an ability to stand erect after being kicked in the balls."
Oooooh oooooow.
