Mormon Porn, so people wearing their magic bloomers doing the nasty?
What ever floats (or sinks) your boat I suppose...

 

Not just wearing the special undergarments, but also fetishizing the undergarments in a way similar to how fishnets or stilettos get fetishized. And they make a whole fantasy of the internal workings of the Mormon church and initiations and rights of passage and... you get the picture.

 

They are known for this only among non-Asians. It goes with the territory. They think their porn is normal and we in the West have this bizarre Christian porn that celebrates the remarkably well-endowed.

 

Yeah but I have seen heels used in some pretty interesting ways...

I will stick my wildly more normal neck of the woods. (Words I never thought I would ever say)

 

Okay, now I don't live in Japan so I can only speak to my month long family visits & vacations over the years, but I have never seen these legendary "used panties" vending machines—anywhere, at all, ever.

What I can speak to is that the have vending machines where I've bought toothpaste & new underwear and basically emergency last minute toiletries. I also picked up an adorable ten dollar pajama at the train station.

I'm not sure if people just misunderstand what they're looking at or if there is some secret area I've never stumbled into after all my years that sells this, which could be true.

Maybe @Iain Aschendale can shed light on this?

 

Honestly I think anything weird in context of subjective observation.
Hell people still think my oddity in the lifestyle is weird, so it is a subjective perspective.
(Shit now people are going to make Kinky Dr. Seuss Stories, oh god help us all.)

@NoGoodNobu

Well apparently do exist.

Wait, that sign one* said "USED加工" which if I understand right means they were manufactured to appear used.

 

Well that is a bit of false advertising if that is the case.

Cause here in the states, you want to buy used panties,
the buyer is expecting more than just 'appearing' used.
Other wise what would be the point in buying used panties
in the first place. I have seen this type of thing advertised
on CL in the Casual Encounters section.

 

"Oh my God! The train is coming! I'll need some pajamas quick!"

I'm trying to imagine this scene as directed by Martin Scorsese, but the closest I can come to it is Terry Gilliam. And that is only after considering Uwe Boll.

 

I have to be honest: my great uncle took me to a movie rental store like a blockbuster in Kitakyushu-shi when I was 10, and right next to some family friendly, completely wholesome films was a porn film with decently explicit cover.

So I've run into my fair share of interesting things in Japan. I just have never seen these panty machines somehow—which seems odd as I go into weird shops in Akihabara looking for cosplays.

Well, it isn't false advertising because it says it in Japanese (in Japan where they read, write, and speak Japanese).

I guess you can argue the fact that they had a word or two in roman letters instead of katakana, and one of those words was the word "used." But I feel like the people buying them there understand what they're reading, because the most important word is in the language that they speak.

Also, I'm sure there's somewhere you can definitely buy used panties—just not vending machines. Or in gachapon, which is actually what those images seemed to be showing as opposed to a vending machine,

 

Last minute plans to ride to an Onsen Ryokan (hot springs inn) for a night.

Also, the train stations in the big cities have fun shops full of various things to buy. But yeah, I really liked that pajama dress—it came with a matching headband with a big bow!

 

Yeah I get ya. Also an actual used panty vending machine would probably
start to smell none to fresh by the end of the day...Might even be considered
a low level bio-hazard to public safety.

 

So people know.

These are gachapon:



And this is a Japanese vending machine:



Also, why don't we have hot beverage vending machines in America yet?

It's been decades! Get it together already.

 

Actually we do.



I have seen a much more generic version, that just says Hot Coffee.

 

They should bring back Cigarette Machines. (They have been made Illegal here.)

 

I've never seen those on street corners before. So it vends hot & cold canned and bottled beverages?

Finally

 

I don't think any product that requires an age restriction 18-21 will ever
be in a vending machine. Sadly we can't trust people to be honest.

 

IDK, The generic ones I have seen dispense a cup, and then fill it with your selection.
Only seen Iced Coffee and such vended in a bottle.

If you watch old shows or movies that take place in hospitals, you might get lucky
and see one. If I can remember (it was a long time ago), I think they had one
at the hospital my dad worked at in Heidelberg, as a librarian. I would like to think
they used to be in airports as well, considering there was a time before coffee clatches
were a big deal.
