I definitely hear "cherry boy" all the time at my Jr High schools when the boys are teasing each other.
How about the term "virginity"?
"Oppai" doesn't seem vulgar at all - hell, there is a big movie in theaters right now called "Oppai Volleyball" about a coach who motivates her male team by promising to show them her boobs. And it's based on a true story! :)
Is there a more slang term for breasts, along the lines of "tits"?
Heya, digging through comments on older sex ed vids.
"shojo" and "doutei" can double as virginity itself, as in losing ones virginity: 処女を失う、童貞を失う、処女喪失、童貞喪失。 The first two are closer to what people would say, and the last two are closer to terms for the act. The last two are also what would show up as categories on porn sites.
I'm so glad I watched this video. I'm planning a trip to Japan, and these are the exact topics I'll need to discuss. I really expect them to come up in everyday conversations. o.O
Hey, where'd my other comment go? No I won't be in Japan. I was just being a smart alec. But I'm trying to organize a gathering here. I left you a comment on the Gatherings site.
I was forgetting to mention a joke I know. You know what happens if you mix a chestnut and a squirrel? It gives 栗と栗鼠 which is read くりとりす (kuritorisu).
Second, look back at lesson one. All the fancy euphemisms are entirely unnecessary. Just knowing the basics like Lick My Cock will get you a lot further than any silly analogies to snakes.
Third, hopefully what I can do is give you the tools to put together your own sweet nothings.
Interesting question. Searched wikipedia, and yep there actually is a native Japanese word for it -- 陰核 / inkaku -- but I've never heard it used. More like an obscure medical term now.
roflol A barrier over the vagina that almost all girls have. When any mammal develops as a fetus, there's usually a cover over any opening, eyes, nose, mouth. It keeps fluid out of the opening in the womb. The hymen is essentially a leftover from that which remains usually until a girl has sex for the first time.
Boin is in a later lesson. Chichi, I left out. Heck, there's lots of words which seem obvious in retrospect, way too many to fit into lessons for morons.
Chichi comes closer to tits in terms of the sense of the word, kind of like oppai is closer to breasts and chinko is closer to dick.
Tsuma, Kanai & Okusan are wife..Tsuma is general word, kanai is bad (technically means "in the house"), and Okusan is very polite, and used also to refer to other wives..Shujin = husband (technically Lord/Master..bad i know)..and Goshujin refers to other husbands..hoped that helped
Interesting story from when I was in college still learning Japanese. I was outside the language building with a bunch of the Japanese teachers nearby. A dog runs up to play, no sign of the dog's master around. Teacher's start wondering aloud, where's the dog's goshujin? "Husband?" Had to think about that one before I realized the literal meaning of goshujin: Master.
That's why when you go to maid cafes, they greet you as goshujinsama.
It's the other way around, actually. Live here too long and you don't notice puns like that anymore. It's like there's a butter zone when you've lived here long enough to know the language but not long enough to have developed an immunity to puns.
Actually, I recall seeing puppets on a midday kids show saying "kuso" - it seems there is no hangup on saying that word, just describing disabled people and body parts.
Props for getting the unbroadcastable vocab out. And funnily enough, I've never had cause to use hymen before. I'll make it a mission to try to use it in the coming week...
Hi Leo,
Maiden's official dictiionary meaning is "virgin", but most folks just say virgin. :-)

After talking about virgins in my last response to your comment, I realize I forgot all about oppai. Shame on me!
Oppai is not particularly vulgar, nope. Because of it's lack of obscenity, It's closer to "breasts" than "tits".

'Lick my cock'? I don't think I've ever actually tried that one before. I might try and use it next time I go out for a night in London! haha

With the right lady (or lad, whatever your preference) at the right time, can work wonders.

These are really useful in my Japanese class. Since 99% if the people in there are manko or chin-chin. *sigh*
Great series though :)

What is the word for "husband" and the word for "wife"? Boring questions, I know! I liked the title--Scratch-n-Sniff :)
