Japan is populated with an unimaginable variety of sex and fetish shops for men, but the country has recently emerged with a new female masturbation bar as well.
Love Joule is an exclusively female club situated in the entertainment district of Shibuya. Though men may be tempted, entry is not granted unless accompanied by a woman. This is a huge step for Japan to break through the conventional male dominant culture. The walls of Love Joule are not lined with your typical beer or sake. Rather, the bar's owner Megumi Nakagawa insists on openly displaying vibrators, sex toys and other masturbation aids, which she believes will put female customers at ease and make them feel more comfortable to openly discuss their needs.
