Fucking Club Bunnies
How did bunny girls escape into raunchy porn from the comparatively-chaste Playboy Clubs of my youth? How did that familiar club-bunny costume morph into a standard set of feminine fashion accessories in Japanese anime, and thus also into raunchy Japanese manga and doujinshi art?
You rely on ErosBlog to grapple with your important questions like this. If you need porn reviews, a site like RabbitsReviews.com is a lot more likely to answer your detailed questions. But quirky questions about strange porn phenomena? That’s right up in my wheelhouse, just like these 1970s Playboy Club bunnies steering a United States warship in 1971:
Moving on: what exactly is the club bunny costume anyway? Wikipedia explains that the famous Playboy Club cocktail waitress costumes consisted of “a strapless corset teddy, bunny ears, black sheer-to-waist pantyhose, a bow tie, a collar, cuffs and a fluffy cottontail.” In Japan, this outfit is called a “bunny suit” or “banī sūtsu” and has mostly lost its association with Playboy. It is, per Wikipedia and the evidence I’m presently setting before your eyes, “frequently featured” in manga, anime, fan art, and merchandise.
In truth I don’t actually have a great explanation for how the bunny suit became a brandless icon, a signifier for sexy and submissive women in Japanese popular entertainment. If you’ve tooled around the internet a few times, you’ll probably already be aware that this is one of the lesser mysteries of Japanese porn. I mean, bukkake, really? Or tentacle sex? To fully explain the vast assimilative melting pot that is the Japanese porn psyche is a challenge far above my pay grade. But I’m happy to document some of its more colorful quirks and surprising excursions.
You might not have guessed, but it’s true: to write this blog post, I had to learn some more lingerie vocabulary. Men typically aren’t raised to understand the proper words for each of the four hundred and thirty two official types of fancy undies. That sleeveless and strapless tits-to-butt body suit thing the bunnies wear is a “strapless corset teddy.”
Men aren’t socialized to know specifically what a teddy is, even if we like to see a woman wearing them and can visualize in exquisite detail the process of stripping one off of her while kissing. It’s not like women’s lingerie terms are included in vocabulary drills in middle school, either. Thus I would have assumed those ludicrous stripper cuffs that don’t have any sleeves attached would also have some mysterious lingerie-name, but apparently no, those are just cuffs. I took a poll; we men are universally willing to promise we won’t call them ludicrous (or “stripper cuffs”) while the person wearing them is touching our dicks.
