The latest of the manga-style health and sex guides now popular in Japanese book-stores includes a guide to being an “otoko no ko,” with an emphasis on healthy sex.
The recent “otoko no ko” boom appears to be in full swing, creating a demand for explanatory literature as well as pornography.
For those unaware of the background behind the practice, the 女装少年 / josou shonen (“crossdressing boy”) archetype has a long history both in manga/anime and in traditional Japanese culture.
In the last 2 years this archetype has started to enjoy a boom in popularity, becoming known as 男の娘 / otoko no ko (a pun based on substituting the character for “girl” with the character for “child” in the word 男の子 / otoko no ko, “boy”). The phrase and practice is mostly bound up in the “moe boom” and the “shota” genre, with most examples being 2D works.
Being a hard to translate piece of Japanese wordplay referring to a comparatively obscure Japanese subculture, it is no surprise to learn that the term has virtually no traction in English – generally an “otoko no ko” would be referred to as a “trap” in English, although this translation probably differs somewhat in nuance.
As well as comics, there is also a significant subculture of (actual) effete young men interested in crossdressing and adopting a femininised masculinity – some evidently proving quite successful at passing themselves off as women.
The practice is generally considered quite distinct from similar fetishes, sexual orientations or gender identities, and has no clear analogue (yet) overseas – practitioners (despite the broken English seen in the book) should not be considered transsexuals in the western sense, and there appears to be very little overlap between “otoko no ko” and Japan’s well established “new-half” subculture, and certainly no surgery.
The book featured here is 「もっと知りたい！オトコの娘の保健体育」 / “Motto Shiritai! Otoko no Ko no Hoken Taiiku” – “I want to know more! Health and physical education for otoko no ko.”
Detailed guides to all manner of sex (mostly with men, such as giving good fellatio or receiving anal sex pleasurably) are included, and less intimate matters such as proper application of makeup also feature:
The tome is on sale in Akiba bookshops, as well as on Amazon.
See also the previously featured guides to female onanism and male anal onanism for similarly essential reading.

I wanna try it!
Ah, this article put a giant smile on my face. Traps rising in popularity makes me one happy fujoshi. Submit to the delicious trap yaoi, you know you want to boys~ >:3 Now if you'll excuse me... =////= *scrolls back up*
I have a raging boner right now. A book on banging traps! 2010 keeps getting better and better for me. Hopefully I'll find a trap girlfriend by the end of this year.
fucking delicious, i need this book now.
if this was a 2D world i could approve
Japan seems to have an unlimited number of sub-cultures. Every time I think that they've reached the outer limits of weirdness, they surprise me.
that's just....

full of traps :D
imagine after reading the book and you suddenly bump to a person who also read the book. what do you thinkg will happen next? the funny part is their both trap themselves XD
Damn ! I triggered a TRAP card.
If you enjoy it why the heck should you fell guilty?
what about women who like trap's? also if i did see right there is atleast one trap x woman action going on on those pages.
also think about it.. woman x trap mostlikely would be alot hotter than woman x woman with strapon D; if someone would make video from that. he would be rich.
that could be new meme on pron industry.
Wow, there are already a BOAT load of vids on that. Traps and hot chicks. Hot chicks and hot chicks. Hot chicks and traps and doods.
It's only gay if the fapping is done to a boy who is manly or masculine.
It's not gay, it's bi, since exclusively-heterosexual men won't touch this with a ten-foot pole.
I must purchase this book for I've been fallen into far to many "traps" lately.....its getting sort of ridiculous now.
Gosh I love shota traps. I am now going to watch picoxchico.
This book will be a best-seller in monasteries & prisons everywhere won't it?
I guess penis-fencing will become the preferred martial art after this.
I also guess the clean & jerk (off) will become the most popular weightlifting move.
Sugar & spice & everything nice; that's what little girls are made of. Sticks & snails & puppy dog tails; that's what little boys are made of. Just not in Japan!
No traps having sex with girls?
That's my fetish. ): I'm a girl who loves traps and wants to find a straight one.
mmm me like this and im a guy lol
I'm not into traps at all, unless it's admiring their feminine traits, or the occasional "yuri" action found in them.
I just don't get this trap stuff...
Vat da fukk?!
Well, I may have just been mentally scarred
The only thing I know is I no longer go trapping, it's no longer a trap when I willfully seek the illusive "otoko no ko" out in the vast reaches of the internet.
I love that one with the pigtails, (S)He's so hot :D and no I'm not gay.
Euh, yeah,....traps,....we kill those where I live....
Good for you, we rape those where I live
Guys, do not worry liking traps ^__^
I'm the MOST screwed mind here anyway...
I only want a trap brother so I could dress up and couple him with some hot guy(s)...^__^u
Fujoshi logic is always the scariest...Though I still enjoy it XD
The book looks interesting btw, though I would rather like to lay hands on the WAal! magazine issues ^__^
Anyone know how to find this on net ? (i mean download of this guide :D i would like to take a look at it xD )
The mouth full of splooge shot, hawt!
I might consider buying...
I want to date a trap...
I'd still hit it :P
Hmm...Traplicious! +10 points!
hmmm... wat the?... yoooooooooooooo!
And so the Age of Imouto has fallen and the Age of Traps has dawned...
This is a dark future for me...
aasfsadfasdasdfas
i want this
Do not fear it! Embrace it!
...I have! ~_^
If there's an English translation; would definitely buy it :D
As a reply to my post, I can say one thing. As i understand traps in japan is in hot point relationships between girl and guy, where guy dress and play as girl, or girl dress and play like a boy.(I don't consider show aspect). In a sex live playing like that role playing games is normal at all.(But I'm more support idea that man should be dominant or I should control my girl domination).
And a little addition to the story: My last friends started like boys that like dress like girls and at the end them became gays. Now our town anime club is not anime club at all - it is club where gays meets to play with others. As a conclusion I can say that people should be more cautious with dressing and some books. First you reading, then you watching and then you acting. I am happy, that sad story not too sad for me and I am not gay after all.
Replying is not good work for me. I decided to register.
Cool story, bro'.
then if you are gay and watch straight porn you become straight? dont you think your friend was gay from the start?
Just stay away from midget porn!!
...Am I the only one who thought "Hideyoshi" for the non-twintails trap?
Hideyoshi is the only trap I accept
What about Watarase?
Hmm what has always bothered me is this:
If your gay, your obviously attracted to male characteristics, but yet Otoko no Ko involves attraction of feminine characteristics of a boy.
Is that gay? Given that you want male on male action but yet are attracted to feminine characteristics.
Its not characteristics that are important.
people forget that being gay means you like the same sex.
no matter what characteristics turn you on.
Sure I perfer men,but get too masculine and I dont feel comfortable.
Its basicaly like thinking that every women out there whose striaght would want an uber masculine man over a normal or less masculine man.
I can tell you know when it comes to what you like
you get picky.
just cause my (being bi-sexual) horizens are pretty wide what I like about both male and females varies.
I think it is. I'm bi, but I don't like men who aren't at least a little bit feminine... or cute, whatever. Thing is, I often consider femininity as cute.
I also just decided I liked traps :D
...
And that perhaps I should think of getting an account for sankaku XD
Well... I think I'll turn bi
