Tenga Onacups target modern men

Onacups have been around for forever, but have recently taken on new life in Tenga’s “future of masturbation” onacups. Old-style onacups are plastic tubes (usually with a cute anime girl on the front) that enclose masturbation sleeves and lubricant. Basically, you pop open the top, put “it” in, think about Koda Kumi, let loose, and toss the cup. Easy, right?

Tenga has taken the onacup idea much further by changing the design of the onacup to make it stylish and modern. In fact, it would blend right in on a shelf next to some hairgel and toothpaste. However, they really put their heart and soul into making the inside much more pleasurable by designing them to recreate various sexual positions and acts…complete with sucking sounds via a special valve on some models.

Once again Japan proved how you can turn a kind of sleazy and unattractive looking product into something “you gotta have” just by changing design and adding some good marketing. Tenga claims to use special technology for maximum pleasure, and markets several types of experiences such as blowjob, deep hole, double hole, soft, etc. The message is: Come on, admit it! Masturbating is fun, and we all do it, but from now we do it with style !

At Tokyo’s 2006 Gay and Lesbian festival, Tenga actually set up a mobile shop (see above) where they were introducing the onacup line and passing out samples to lucky wankers. At first we thought they were selling some kind of juice drink, but we figured it out pretty quickly as we got closer. Maybe they’ll just start driving around Kabuki-cho and selling them like ice cream!
