Hentai has been around for a long time. A very long time, in fact. It can be traced back to the olden days of Japan when the country’s old-school rulers (no, not Shinzo Abe) used to indulge in various forms of erotic art to get their dick ready for an all-night orgy with a bunch of Geishas.

Now? From intense storyline comics that draw you deep into the personalities of the debauched characters within to catering to the kinds of porn fantasies that mainstream smut wouldn’t touch with a barge pole if you know what I’m saying (woof woof), Hentai has gone on to develop a unique subculture of its own.

But whilst Hentai is a shit load of fun to jerk off to, any true connoisseur of this porn category will tell you that just using your hand isn’t properly taking advantage of what it offers. To truly enjoy Hentai porn, you should be investing in relevant sex toys that specifically cater to the Hentai smut niche.

And yep, similar to Rule 34, if there’s porn of it, there’s a sex shop catering to it. Since the boom in popularity surrounding Hentai began, several dedicated sex shops have sprung up to cater to the surrounding porn niche community. One of them is called Jlist.com, and it’s a sex shop some of my Hentai-loving friends have highly recommended as the one-stop shop for all of their cartoon porn needs.

According to them, Jlist.com/category/adult-corner is home to an array of toys and accessories to adorn your Hentai cave, disappoint your parents, and impress your like-minded friends. But, as a naturally sceptical porn lover, I was keen to learn more about Jlist.com before making any decisions about it.

So, prepare yourself for a balls-deep review of this Hentai sex shop as I dig deep to find out what it offers, how it runs under the hood and, most importantly, whether it’ll have the ability to impress me or not.

Now, let’s begin!

What is Jlist.com?

Jlist.com is a San Diego sex shop that specialises in the import of Japanese sex toys and accessories and has been a thriving business since 1996. It’s a niche business indeed, but there’s clearly a thriving Hentai community big enough to keep it in business for over two decades.

This sex shop has many products on sale, and, in its Jlist.com/category/adult-corner section in particular, you can find everything from adult magazines and videos to Hentai figurines and classic Japanese sex toys.

The site has a relatively active social media presence too, such as its Discord which currently has over 7,000 members and a thriving Twitter account with over 252K followers.

What are the Products like on Jlist.com/category/adult-corner?

I don’t know how much experience you have with Japanese sex toys, but they can be, well, kind of weird. However, weird doesn’t mean bad, and this quirky country never fails to produce some truly bizarre and wonderful toys and accessories that have the potential to blow your mind. Here are some of my most memorable purchases from browsing through Jlist.com/category/adult-corner.

●     Vaginal Warmth Hot Lotion - Jerking off as you watch your favourite Waifu get fucked in the pussy, and ass is awesome. However, you often crave that warm and wet feeling that an Asian pussy can offer. This lotion is the answer to all of your perverted needs and allows you to lube up your dick whilst generating the same kind of warmth you’d get if you were balls deep in your beloved cartoon porn characters.

●     PUNIANAROID 5: Automatic Masturbation Technology - Effectively the Toyota of male masturbators, this high-tech Japanese sex toy tech looks insanely fun and is the perfect toy to accompany your aforementioned Vaginal Warmth Hot Lotion as you sink down the rabbit hole of Hentai porn.

●     Cast-off Figures - Looking for the perfect finishing touch for your Hentai porn cave? Look no further than this incredible range of erotic action figures catering to all Hentai tastes. Just remember to hide them if you ever bring a Tinder date home…

●     Hentai pillow covers - Reserved for those who are really dedicated to their Hentai lifestyle are these erotic pillow covers, which sometimes come with prosthetic tits and pussies built into them. These are the perfect way to fuck yourself to sleep and then wake up and slide back into your Waifu pillow and start the day off right!

The Design of the Site

Jlist.com uses a straightforward site design, but it does the job well and feels, well, very Japanese! The site is displayed on a white background and is very sleek-looking overall.

From the top of the site, you’re welcomed in by a stylish red logo in the centre of the header that simply reads “Jlist” This is bordered on either side by a search bar and buttons to explore your basket and login to your store account.

The site’s main menu is a very straightforward affair and comprises only four links covering categories, product series, best-selling products, and deals of the day. As you navigate down into the Jlist.com/category/adult-corner section, you’re welcomed in by a banner image of a sexy Japanese chick staring deep into your eyes. Damn, my dick is hard already!

The category page is divided into three sections. A vertical sidebar on the left allows you to filter the category’s products by subcategories like magazines, toys, action figures, etc. You can also adjust the price of the toys displayed, which is perfect for those on a budget. There are also filters for different toy brands and themes.

Then, on the right side of the page is a selection of nine thumbnails that allow you to filter the toys displayed in the Jlist.com/category/adult-corner category, followed by a portfolio of the category’s latest products.

When you click on a product to view more, you’re given a detailed product description (which is handy because the toy labelling is exclusively in Japanese), related products, FDA disclaimers, and any other crucial info you need to know.

What I Like Most About it

Firstly, Jlist.com/category/adult-corner is a very unique website overall and is a dream come true for any dedicated Hentai fan seeking to get the experience of visiting a Japanese sex shop without forking out money for a flight ticket to Tokyo. The products that it supplies are completely unique compared to a generic sex shop, and browsing through its products can be a wild adventure because you really don’t know what you’ll come across next.

With this much experience selling sticky products to the Hentai community, the site has created a successful blog at blog.jlist.com. This was something I was happy to see because there is so much potential for a blog on this site, and it covers topics like the most popular sex toys in Japan, the differences between U.S. and Japanese sex shops, the latest toys that the store has imported, etc.

The site also offers a unique box removal service for people who really need discretion about their love of Hentai. This means that the packaging of the toys is removed and replaced with a plain standard box. Whilst it’s a shame to remove the often insane level of artistic packaging that Japanese sex toy products come with, it’s vital for people who need to keep it on the down low or are living in countries that aren’t exactly friendly to Hentai porn and sex toys. Damn, I could have done with his service when my elderly neighbour was asked to take the non-discreet parcel containing my model D83 Swedish sure-grip suck machine!

Regarding site design, Jlist.com is flawless and simple to navigate and buy through. It does a stellar job of explaining the role of various weird and wonderful Japanese sex toys to a Western audience. It allows you to sidestep the awkward experience of shopping for toys in a Tokyo sex store and trying to explain what you want in broken Japanese. Why is it always so hard to find a used panty vending machine in that country?

What I Don’t Like

The site has missed out on a major marketing opportunity by choosing not to include an about us page. This business is well on its way to being three decades old and is clearly a major player in the U.S. Hentai scene, so tell us about yourself and reinforce this to fans!

As much as I loved the blog on Jlist.com, I found it difficult to find as it’s not listed on the homepage, nor does it have a tab on the main menu or footer menu. It is, however, sometimes found on some product pages if the said product has been featured in a review on the blog.

Suggestions I Have for Jlist.com/category/adult-corner

Add an about us page that details the store's journey, the people behind it, what makes it special, whether they have a physical store to visit, and all that interesting stuff.

Ensure that the site’s blog is easy to find through the main Jlist.com site and is featured on the homepage. As it stands, it’s very difficult to locate the site’s blog, and I was only able to come across it when exploring the site’s official Twitter page.

Conclusion

Put simply, if you’re a Hentai fan or even just someone who wants to expand their sex toy collection with some of the craziest shit that Japan has come up with in recent years, Jlist.com/category/adult-corner is a well-established sex shop that you really can’t go wrong with.

Fast approaching thirty years in the business, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more experienced sex shop in the niche of importing Japanese products into the Western sex toy and accessories market.
