Nyotaimori is the Japanese tradition of eating sushi off a perfectly still, And naked woman’s body

Nyotaimori is a form of sushi consumption that involves eating off a woman’s body. The word can be roughly translated to mean the ‘adorned body of a woman’, or ‘female body arrangement’. But even in Japan, it’s not as mainstream as some would have you believe.

A woman who aspires to partake nyotaimori sessions has to undergo some training into how to lie down for hours without moving. Before food is served, the individual is supposed to take a bath that involves a unique fragrance-free soap before bathing in cold water which is meant to cool the body a bit for the sushi.

Men practice it too, since it would be unfair for the guys to get all the fun, eh? But it has attracted some great deal of ire from feminists the world over. Some parts of the world have sanitation laws that stipulate that a plastic layer or some other such material should be placed between the body and the sushi. Other countries though, have banned it altogether.

Nyotaimori is served best without forks, chop sticks, spoons et al: the fun lies in licking the food off the bod.
