Top 10 Love Hotel Room Themes

Love hotels (ラブホテル) are designed for sex. They are a type of short-stay hotel found in Japan and provide privacy for couples that are looking to engage in discrete intimate liaisons. Alternative names include romance hotel, fashion hotel, leisure hotel, amusement hotel, couples hotel and boutique hotel.

At a love hotel, you can “rest” – check in for a few hours – or “stay” – spend the night. Rates vary between establishments, a sign outside will usually have hours and rates.

Hits and Misses of 2009

As the year 2009 comes to a close, following is a look at 5 of the best and 5 of the worst performing posts that this site has dished up this year. The popularity, or lack thereof, is based purely upon number of pageviews.

The Hits

Hello Titty Kitty

Seen in the storefront of a souvenir shop in Sydney, the image on the Hello Titty Kitty t-shirt is a double entendre of Sanrio’s Hello Kitty character. Posted in April 2009 and within a month it had received over 30,000 pageviews. It was StumbleUpon’s biggest referral to this site for 2009.

Japanese Upskirt Pussy

Google was most favourable to Japanese Upskirt Pussy in 2009. The post’s title is a wordplay on a photoshopped image that places the ceiling cat in a somewhat obscuring position. I can only imagine the Googler’s anticipation and sudden disappointment once arriving at this post.

Japanese Love Dolls – Taboo?

Japanese Love Dolls – Taboo? was a guest post by popular j-blogger gakuranman who explored Japan’s love doll industry and the social stigma surrounding it. Discounting search engines and social networks, gakuranman.com was the biggest referrer to this site in 2009, specifically to this article.
