Do the chicks go there and try to get an up loincloth photo with their phones?

If they are wearing loin cloths then they are not naked.

Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?

Speedo missed out on a sponsorship here. They could sell loincloths, but they'd only need to use about half the fabric that an actual man would need. Tsk.

Fark has always feared and hated the penis. I think Drew might be a big stone head that barfs guns.

You know what I'm really goddamn sick of? Scrolling down to continue reading an "article" and finding nothing but clickbait photos, Internet debris and bullsh*t. Screw that, gave up and closed the window.

But just based on the headline, I'm also pretty sick of Japan not understanding what "nude" means. It doesn't mean "topless with hands covering nipples," it doesn't mean "uncovered but pixilated," and it doesn't mean "wearing a loincloth."

Just when I thought I'd never find anything on Fark to get truly outraged about, there it is...all wrapped up in a neat little package.

I agree!!!

Look a few links above this one on the main page. It's been temporarily outsourced to France.

If anyone's curious about the actual religious festival, it's pretty well explained by my new favorite redhead Youtube cutie Rachel, of Rachel and Jun:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pAQ8RvkNAE

(Aside from all the loincloths, some of the guys are, in fact, completely naked, but not shown on video)

I live in the city that hosts this festival. Every year my friends ask if I want to go watch or participate. I always remind them that February in Japan is brutally cold. So standing outside, at night, in the middle of winter to watch thousands of nearly naked men fight over blessed sticks is not my idea of entertainment.

"Why not join our team and participate?"

Well, I'm not gay. And I don't see how fighting thousands of other men wearing fundoshis while being doused with freezing cold water is anything other than gay.

"But it shows how manly you are."

No. Doing my own thing, something that *I* enjoy, instead of 'proving my manliness to others' shows how manly I am. If you're idea of fun is wrestling with thousands of men in nothing more than a loincloth in freezing weather, there's something deeply broken about you.
 
2017-02-20 5:55:02 PM  
So... I have a question. If one of these guys springs a leak in their loincloth, do you call that a tootsie roll pop?

Yep. Trying to get a shot of the wallet. Couldn't care less about the sausage.

Only hoarders keep 6 year old messages.


It's proof somebody loves him.

I have messages from 2007 I still haven't deleted. It just wouldn't be the same to open Fark without them.

I took the wife to Okayama once. There's a little statue of Momotaro outside of the main train station.

But do Japanese chicks dig it? That's the only question that matters when it comes to participating in these sort of things.

Do Japanese girls like it? Huh. Not really sure TBH. I certainly think that people see it as a display of virility to it it.

My Japanese GF went this weekend, but she left before the main event. She only went to watch her friends do their dance routine. She hates that I think it's gayer than a month of Christmases. But she messaged me all night saying, "It's cold." and "I'd rather have you cook me dinner than be here in the freezing weather."

Honestly, it is hard to judge what Japanese people really enjoy. So much of this culture is based on societal expectations and putting on a face and not showing your true feelings, that I often don't know if people really ever enjoy what they're doing here.

If you just want to rub up against a bunch of naked men why pretend it is a contest?   Even if you win, you still lose.

Be careful, that Japanese girl is going to marry you and the next thing you know you'll have three kids (happened to my brother).

But he loves it there and apparently there's a big tax incentive for having kids, due to their population problem. The young Japanese people don't seem to be overly excited about breeding, and the Japanese females don't seem overly excited about the Japanese men, unless they are very effiminate in which case they adopt them as girlfriends.
