Maria Ozawa Goes Mainstream (But Stays Naked) In "Jue Ming Pai Dui"

Lux Alptraum — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 13:00:00 EDT

Like many of her American counterparts, AV Crush Object Maria Ozawa has broadened her horizons, adding some mainstream titles to her largely adult film resume. Above, a clip from "Jue Ming Pai Dui."

Though it's impossible to tell from this clip (or any of the others that we've seen, for that matter), "Jue Ming Pai Dui"—or "Invitation Only," if you prefer—is apparently a horror/thriller film. Thankfully, the director was kind enough to let Ms. Ozawa show off some of her sensual charms before subjecting her to whatever nasty fate the film has in store.

Maria Ozawa Does Taiwan

Lux Alptraum — Fri, 08 May 2009 15:30:01 EDT

We admit we've been a little lax in our obsessive stalking of Maria Ozawa, a mistake we truly regret. While we've been distracted by the other lovely ladies of the world, we've missed out on so much!

For one thing, Maria's gotten a tattoo on her back. And for another, she's somehow wound up in Taiwan (or at least the cover of FHM Taiwan). And, and—well, we're sure there's a lot of other things that have happened to her, but since we don't read Chinese (that is Chinese, right?), we're at a bit of a loss to understand it all.

But the important thing is, we're looking at hot picture of Maria right now. (And really, isn't this moment all that matters?)

Course Offers College Students Assistance In Area They've Already Mastered

Lux Alptraum — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 14:00:01 EST

If you're a regular reader of Fleshbot, you probably don't need a class to teach you how to appreciate porn—but if you'd like to brush up on the basics, consider enrolling at Taiwan's Providence University.

In spite of its Catholic roots, Providence has added a course on the appreciation of pornography to its roster. According to XBiz, the class "involves viewing, analyzing and learning to appreciate pornography from an academic perspective. As a course requirement, students will have to analyze audience behavior in reaction to a porn clip and present their findings to the class." We're guessing there won't be a section called Rim My Gape 101—but if there were, we would so fly out to Taiwan for that.

It's a sad day for Taiwan as the country sees the closure of its last legal brothel, although we suppose that its 87-year-old pimp earned his retirement. Meanwhile, if anyone has openings for its other two employees, we'd sure they like to know. It's hard for middle-aged sex workers to find decent work these days.

A man in Taiwan hired a stripper to perform for his 103-year-old father ... at his funeral. Unfortunately, the old man didn't have enough cash to cover the two-drink minimum. (ananova.com)

We've long maintained that working in our underwear makes us more productive, and it looks like that theory might be catching on in the corporate world: a Taiwanese underwear company recently introduced a monthly Camisole Day where female employees are encouraged to come to work clad in the company's wares. No clue on how this affected their productivity, but it can't hurt to try. (trendhunter.com, via Shake Well Before Use)

By the way, threatening to cut off your husband's penis is grounds for divorce in Taiwan. But it's still considered very polite to give him fair warning anyway. (int.iol.co.za)

It's been ten years since Taiwan banned prostitution completely ending the practice of sex for money and making the island a blissful, crime-free paradise. Um ... right? (taipeitimes.com)

What's the quickest way to turn Taiwanese teens off sex? How about getting a member of Parliament to talk about "tasting the forbidden fruit"? That's like telling kids not to look in your forbidden closet of mystery so they don't find your porn collection. (taipeitimes.com)

Betelnut Beauties: Not-Quite-Sex Work In Taiwan

Fleshbot — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 13:15:38 EDT

South African-born film producer and photographer Tobie Openshaw's fascinating "Betelnut Beauties" project explores the curious (and curiously sexy) world of Taiwan's betelnut girls (Bin Lang Xi Hsi), paid models who fall somewhere between race queens and pink box workers in the list of reasons why life in parts of Asia is so much more interesting than it is in the West: "They sit in brightly-decorated glass booths wearing skimpy outfits, and sell cigarettes, drinks and betelnut to passing drivers. It's a controversial trade but not actually illegal. The question of whether the girls are exploited is open to debate—certainly their own perception is mostly that they are doing a job like any other, and the less they choose to wear, the more they sell."
