Sex toys have come a long way in the past decade, both in terms of aesthetics and also getting-the-job-done-ness. At least, sex toys for women have. But most sex toys for boys are still mired in the juvenile, whether it's porn star pussies or freaky Real Dolls or bruising penis pumps. So let's just hope that these fancy-shmancy masturbation tools for men from a company called Tenga make it out of Japan sometime soon: So give thanks that these fancy-shmancy masturbation tools for men from a company called Tenga are now available outside Japan (via LoveHoney.co.uk in England and EdenFantasys.com in the States, albeit with instructions in Japanese): they're high-tech--check out the blue-print above--and high-concept and they look absolutely nothing like a porn star's pussy (pardon our French). Though it remains unclear whether the products sold outside Japan are the original or a, er, slightly expanded range: According to Tenga's FAQ, "We are now planning to export our products to all over the world. At the first stage, we will export Tenga (same-size as Japan) to Asia, and then after we develop large size products, we will start to export Tenga to the rest of the world." [via boinkology]

Now I want to know how tiny these cups are.

They're not *that* tiny ;-) and they've already made it out of Japan.

We have sold them on LoveHoney in the UK for several months - you can see them here: http://www.lovehoney.co.uk/brands/tenga/

Not sure if any US retailers have made the effort to pick them up yet - but we ship to the US should curiosity get the better of you :-)

Cheers!

You can buy the Tenga tubes at Eden Fantasys, and they are quite large. Though their instructions are in japanese, making it really hard to figure out how to use them correctly. Guessing that they are supposed to be microwaved for 20 seconds was not the right action to take. 10 seconds maybe, but it's one shot only, so you are screwed if you burst it in the microwave. But the warmer does get 30 uses, if you don't melt it. So if you really want one, just go to Eden Fantasys (I have no affiliation), which has an actual size picture available.
