I had a housemate who wore a mankini once. Not a pleasant memory.

LOL Machu Piccu? Nice…i think a lack of mankini’s is what brought the Inca empire down. At the very least it would have boosted morale. Lee suggested some pics with llamas…i love it! If i can get my hands on one of these bad boys i’m in!

Cheers lads. Yeah wearing a mankini is never going to look good on a bloke – so apologies and hope I haven’t done your eyes any lasting damage. It deinitely looks better on the ladies it seems, though I’ve had no volunteers.

I thought the Colombian Military one maybe the most dangerous of my trip, but actually the zip line in Costa Rica and Volcano Boarding in Nicaragua had me more worried about my gear! Not sure if you saw the videos (http://www.youtube.com/user/Mankinichallenge#p/u).

Scott – defo get involved mate. The more the merrier. I only did one picture in Machu Picchu before the security there clocked on! Good luck!

Reesan – maybe you could Mankini Japan for us? I’m sure the girls in your article would be game for an accomplice ….

Yes, the U.S.A. is too prudish. No mainstream publication would accept an advertisement from an adult video producer. They feel they would be subjected to an anti-erotica zealots group's boycott campaign. And if the USA has a lot of erotic videos, it has just as many anti-erotica zealots. What is more surprising about Japanese print publications is their mentions that a particular AV actress has an unmosaiced video in release "somewhere". Now those are technically “illegal” in Japan - but people generally know where they can obtain it.

fair point henk, although i wasn’t specifically talking about the usa. do european lads mags have full-page raunchy advertisements promoting adult videos? maybe they do.

i guess my real question is, do the japanese take it to the extreme? rather than asking “are the West is too prudish?” I probably should have asked “are the Japanese too salacious?”

Malph, respect for your crusade to mankini the world. I just checked your site – “International Mankini Challenge”. Awesome stuff! I’m still recovering from seeing you in the mankini in ciuidad perdida, colombia with the assault rifle, oh, and the gun in your hand too.

They should enter the International Mankini Challenge with these pics. Pictures from Japan haven’t been published yet!
