I love surfing the Classifieds in the Tokyo weeklies. I find the intersection between serious fetishism and gross stereotypes in many of the ads very interesting. Here are some of my faves from last week's issue of Metropolis:
American boyfriend. Very pretty and glamorous Japanese female, in great shape, with sense of humor, seeks manly American male for serious relationship. I like men in uniform, so US Military gentlemen are welcome. lady-xxxx@yahoo.com.
JF? Missing hot passion? European male, warmhearted, healthy, kind, well-educated, blue-eyed, would like to share passionate touches, massages, kisses, and body communication with you. xxxxsuki@livejp.
Ice cream! Black socks, short skirt, and a sweet cute smile when eating ice cream... I think that's so sexy. I want to see you looking cute and sexy eating ice cream! green.teaxxxx@gmail.com.
Very attractive sexy JF is ready to start an incredible journey with a wonderful partner. Would you be a successful executive white American, over 35, MInato-ku area? xxxtokyo@yahoo.com.
Cowgirl in Tokyo, 27, Gemini, seeks older gaijin men, 35-70, for no-strings-attached fun around Shirokanedai. I'm beautiful so no ugly people please. Relationships are a dance between two people, so let's tango. xxxxxtokyocowgirl@ yahoo.com.
The cowgirl ad was funny, but I never posted it, it's totally fraudulent and the Metropolis got in a lot of trouble for allowing it to get to print.
Read my blog if you don't believe me, specifically the posting "Lets Tango"
