The Japanese weekly rag Shūkan Asahi (週刊朝日), a popular general-interest magazine, weighs in on the Borat mankini being a hit in Japan with the full-page advertisement below. The Shūkan Asahi has been published since 1922 by The Asahi Shimbun, one of Japan’s leading newspapers.

The format of the publication usually combines soft news like scandals and affairs, some international rumours and relations, an occasional golf tip, a few comics that are a little erotic in nature and swimsuit models (usually on the front and back of the mag). The publication is generally targeted to Japanese salarymen.

As you can see in the image below provided by nateola from PinkNihon, it is full of high-quality content. This particular image is an advertisement that promotes a Japanese Adult Video (JAV) about a promiscuous orgy with the tagline “Sex–it’s supposed to be raunchy”. Here is the NSFW link to the vid イグイグ大乱交 (don’t click if you are easily offended).

Mark ‘Danger’ Mills, self-confessed goldmember, free willy lobbyist, polisher of Vader’s helmet and sometimes referred to as ‘Lethal Weapon 4′, contributes this guest post providing remarkable insight into a size issue that concerns most men.

I saw this report on the BBC web site and it peaked my interest. That is to say my interest was peaked; I did not actually ‘peak’ myself. Anyway, the article basically suggests that the majority of condom wearers are being supplied with goods that do not fit properly, having the knock on effect of increased breakage rates and a higher risk of infection. It all seems quite reasonable really except for the comment that, and I quote, “Men are twice as likely to take the condom off midway through sex due to a poor fit”.

Twice as likely as whom exactly? Is there a whole different category of condom wearers we are not generally aware of, other than men, and this mystical category of johnny users prefer a looser fitting raincoat?

It also makes me wonder how we know that the condoms are ill-fitted. Are there a bunch of guys out there who’s mother is checking the fitting for them, and checking the fitting ‘during’ intercourse? “Don’t stop son, just tucking your sleeve in!” Maybe the family dog is responsible, coming in half way through and ripping this loose dangly condom off of the end of men’s knobs. Perhaps even there’s a condom hit squad out there breaking into family boudoirs, rulers and calipers in hand, checking size and fitting.

Frankly, the mind boggles.
