A group of Japanese porn actresses are preparing to have their breasts squeezed by fans for 24 hours this weekend for a charity event loosely translated as “Boob Aid.”
The nine adult movie stars yesterday told Japanese media outlets that they could barely contain their excitement about the “Stop! AIDS” campaign event — which will be televised live — but, asked, perhaps somewhat optimistically: Please be gentle.
“I am really looking forward to lots of people fondling my boobs,” Rina Serina told the Tokyo Sports newspaper. “However, I would be very happy if you would please be delicate.”
The event, the 12th since its launch in 2003, is to be broadcast on adult cable television, with participants donating to the anti-AIDS campaign in exchange for a feel.
It comes after the sexist heckling of a Tokyo assemblywoman hit the headlines, highlighting old-fashioned, objectifying views toward women that still permeate Japanese society.
“I never thought my boobs could contribute to society,” Serina added.
Fellow porn actress Iku Sakuragi had no qualms about being groped by hundreds of pairs of hands.
“It is for charity,” the 21-year-old said. “Squeeze them, donate money — let’s be happy.”
Legislators from Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s ruling party sparked a public outcry in June when they assaulted Tokyo assemblywoman Ayaka Shiomura with sexist taunts, shouting “Why don’t you get married?” at her during a debate on motherhood.
Japan has one of the lowest rates of female workforce participation in the developed world alongside a lack of childcare facilities, poor career support and deeply entrenched sexism that are blamed for keeping women at home.
The 24-hour “squeeze-a-thon” is set to begin at 8pm on Saturday and is backed by the Japan Foundation for AIDS Prevention.
Former Nicaraguan president Violeta Chamorro, who brought peace to Nicaragua after years of war and was the first woman elected president in the Americas, died on Saturday at the age of 95, her family said. Chamorro, who ruled the poor Central American country from 1990 to 1997, “died in peace, surrounded by the affection and love of her children,” said a statement issued by her four children. As president, Chamorro ended a civil war that had raged for much of the 1980s as US-backed rebels known as the “Contras” fought the leftist Sandinista government. That conflict made Nicaragua one of
COMPETITION: The US and Russia make up about 90 percent of the world stockpile and are adding new versions, while China’s nuclear force is steadily rising, SIPRI said Most of the world’s nuclear-armed states continued to modernize their arsenals last year, setting the stage for a new nuclear arms race, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) said yesterday. Nuclear powers including the US and Russia — which account for about 90 percent of the world’s stockpile — had spent time last year “upgrading existing weapons and adding newer versions,” researchers said. Since the end of the Cold War, old warheads have generally been dismantled quicker than new ones have been deployed, resulting in a decrease in the overall number of warheads. However, SIPRI said that the trend was likely
NUCLEAR WARNING: Elites are carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers, perhaps because they have access to shelters, Tulsi Gabbard said After a trip to Hiroshima, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Tuesday warned that “warmongers” were pushing the world to the brink of nuclear war. Gabbard did not specify her concerns. Gabbard posted on social media a video of grisly footage from the world’s first nuclear attack and of her staring reflectively at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial. On Aug. 6, 1945, the US obliterated Hiroshima, killing 140,000 people in the explosion and by the end of the year from the uranium bomb’s effects. Three days later, a US plane dropped a plutonium bomb on Nagasaki, leaving abut 74,000 people dead by the
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is to visit Canada next week, his first since relations plummeted after the assassination of a Canadian Sikh separatist in Vancouver, triggering diplomatic expulsions and hitting trade. Analysts hope it is a step toward repairing ties that soured in 2023, after then-Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau pointed the finger at New Delhi’s involvement in murdering Hardeep Singh Nijjar, claims India furiously denied. An invitation extended by new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to Modi to attend the G7 leaders summit in Canada offers a chance to “reset” relations, former Indian diplomat Harsh Vardhan Shringla said. “This is a
