Cosplay O_o;

Alright... so I'm going to be a bit delicate as the topic is of a slightly more adult nature: but I have to express my continuing amazement at just how kinky Japanese people are for the level of public prudishness they tend to be famous for!

I'm dating a Japanese boy and we've been together for about 3 months. I'm also the owner of a maid outfit (an old work uniform from when I used to part-time at a cafe a few years back). Discovery of said maid outfit in my closet has him flipping out. Now, an American guy might say "nice halloween costume", but to a Japanese man... apparently this is like opening the closet and finding three naked women inside.

Tonight he had a few drinks and he's been texting me for over an hour "making plans" for this maid outfit. He's even bringing a suit the next time he comes over so we can "cosplay together" O_o; He's got me calling him "goshujinsama" (master) in emails and is suddenly eclaiming his love for me every 12 seconds >_<

And he's NOT a geek in the least. He's just a normal guy.

No wonder maid cafes get so much business if this is the sort of response a costume can elicit O_o;

Do non-Japanese people get this excited about costumes? Should I invest in a nurse outfit in my bid for an engagement ring? O_o;

ps. that "Lost in Translation" thing was apparently based a bit in reality... he also mentioned something about "ripping my stockings"!!

This isn't as weird as it seems and not really confined to the Japanese either.
Role play has often been mentioned in publications about spicing up your sex life or your relationships.
And the domination angle is ancient as well.

You probably need to go cat-girl for that.

Looking at the thread I thought Tsurara was going to make fun of Americans cosplayers.

I like the way you think Legend, but if she wants a the ring she needs a modified sailor girl outfit. Complete with wand and tiara for the perfect sexy magical girl look.

OF COURSE!!!!!!

The most important thing is that you would be comfortable doing this for your BF.

Re: Cosplay O_o;

Yea it can be quite an interesting thing to do for someone. It can also be extreamly fun as well. But sometimes it can be quite an expensive thing to get into. Atleast here in the us sometimes. But if you can make them yourself it's great!

Re: Cosplay O_o;

I don't think the magical girl would do anything for him... he's not into anime or manga at all (he actually seems to think it's sort of lame... which is why the whole maid-moe thing has me a little thrown-for-a-loop... were he a nerd, I'd have expected it)

Re: Cosplay O_o;

MOE!?!?! You never said anything about moe. How big is this maids outfit anyway?

If the door is open for the maid outfit more outfits will surely follow. So don't think Magical Girl outfits are out of the question.

Re: Cosplay O_o;

[notices stocking in the tags]

Thats like adding nukes to a fireworks show, i personally dont have a huge fetish on maids, but stocking on the other hand,(er..leg...*punches self*) is totally hot., for all guys(not exclusive to any race i reckon)

and "ripping your stockings",....i believe that to be the utmost sexual act...so...yeaaah.

To non-Japanese people, to my knowledge isnt a very big deal. but then again any sort of ero-costume would get any man riled up

Re: Cosplay O_o;

Cosplay fetish isnt limited to just the Japanese (although honestly I think that a majority of people that do have them ARE Japanese. LOL) its more of an personal preference/taste in the matter.

...now as for the types of costumes, thats a whole another story right there. I for one think that a maid outfit is F'ing sweet. (.>//w//<)

Re: Cosplay O_o;

I agree with Hassun for once *gets struck by lightning twice* It isn't as weird as you might think. Infact, though we don't talk about it openly in public... Guys tend to adore maids. Nurses seem especially popular as of late but, I can't actually see a guy 'dressing up' for such 'plans' as well. Hmm.. Irony.. In anycase, Another favorite is the cat girl them or Neko. *thumbs up to you for having the maid costume* I myself would have about the same reaction if I found a maid uniform in my girl friends closet. Infact, I'd probably tackle-hug her xD. And I'm american.

I also seem to have a thing for school-girl uniforms.. come to think of it, we're getting a japanese foreign exchange student this year

Inner Meji: Cha! *thumbs up with a sparkling smile*
