For decades Japan’s love hotels have provided a place for couples to enjoy anonymous, uninterrupted sex. Politician and secretary, teacher and student, husband and hooker — all are welcome, as long as they pay in cash and leave when the time limit is up. But 2006 spawned a new type of love hotel. Decorated with theme park interiors and equipped with game consoles, karaoke boxes and sex machines — these establishments provide kinky fun for all types, from fetishists and sadomasochists to the ordinary couple seeking sexual adventure.
I can’t help wondering what sort of alien probes come standard in the “Alien Abduction Play Area†pictured above. You have to go see the other “themed†rooms. I think the Hello Kitty one may give me nightmares for years to come.
