Japan ‘ Boob Aid’ gets thousands of dollars

-

Tokyo, Aug. 31: A group of Japanese porn actresses raised tens of thousands of dollars at the weekend by having their breasts squeezed by fans at a “Boob Aid” charity event for AIDS prevention. The nine adult movie stars, sporting yellow campaign T- shirts rolled up to reveal their breasts, flashed a big smile as punters approached them at an event that opened Saturday.

A man was seen pressing his palms together in the style of a Buddhist prayer before and after he softly touched the breasts of each of the nine. Women were occasional­ly spotted in the mostly male crowd, prompting one of the girls to say in rapture: “Wow, I’m happy. I want her to touch my breasts!”

The event was part of a 24- hour “Stop! AIDS” campaign event in Tokyo, which was also televised live on a Japanese adult cable channel.

The breast- squeezing resumed Sunday morning after an overnight break.

More than 4,100 pairs of hands groped for a total of 12 hours until Sunday afternoon, the organisers said. The figure suggests about four million yen ($ 40,000) has already been collected as each participan­t was expected to donate 1,000 yen ( about $ 10) or more.

The final sum will be announced after the event closes at around 8pm ( 1100 GMT) on Sunday.

The event is the 12th since its launch in 2003. It is backed by the Japan Foundation for AIDS Prevention.

“I’m really looking forward to lots of people fondling my boobs,” Rina Serina told the Tokyo Sports newspaper before the event. “But I would be very happy if you would please be delicate.”—
