From a Japanese TV game show: competitive acrobatic testicle-whacking for fun and profit. Not actually gay in its cultural context, certainly it is homoerotic to our quirky eyes. Via 15 Association Fraternal JB. Thanks! Dedicated to Big Gay Al, who digs this kind of thing. Don’tcha, Al? Thwack! For the video clip of these guys in action, click here. Translation of text in upper left? More context? It would be much appreciated!

Auto-fellatio Neksuke Man
This trick requires both size and flexibility. Not all that rare, but not all that enjoyable, either. Most guys who can do this do it more as a parlor trick than a standard mode of masturbation. Small Japanese ivory sculpture in netsuke style.
Going Gaga for Jo Calderone
When an androgynous male model named Jo Calderone appeared in Vogue Homme Japan last year, celeb watchers noted that he looked a lot like Lady Gaga might in male drag. Turns out, that is exactly who “he” was. The young diva, who dodges regular rumors that she is intersex, shows off Jo on the cover art of her next single, “You and I.” You Go, Guy Gaga!

Mid-century Japanese Batman Squirt-gun takes it up the Ass
Via a Toronto-based friend of this site who found it at the Batman-themed blog Batmania. This strange toy is circa 1966 and of Japanese manufacture. This husky bear of a Bat is a squirt-gun. The reservoir is accessed through a plug in his butt. To fire, pull the trigger between his legs and water will squirt out of his mouth. Seriously. More to come with a Batman themed slide show guest-curated by Kaspar.
