An interesting charity event was held earlier this week in Tokyo: ‘Boob Aid‘, a ‘squeeze-a-thon’ for the breasts of a group of porn stars to raise awareness for AIDS.

For more than 12 hours, groups of girls were switch in and out and by the end of the day, enjoyed the company of over 4,000 participants and raised more than $40,000 for the Stop! AIDS campaign. Most of the attendees were male, but some females caught the attention of the stars much to their surprise: “Wow, I’m happy. I want her to touch my breasts.”

This event was televised live on a Japanese adult channel and covered extensively by the press. Porn star Rina Serina told reporters: “I’m really looking forward to lots of people fondling my boobs.”

The user chichiwomage on Reddit commented on his experience after attending the event:

They were really, really enthusiastic and smiley obviously putting on the act but yeah. They all said thankyou upon the squeezing of the breasts, all very cheerily…to this foreigner it was all just the craziest shit ever, to be honest. Went like a blur, seven soft pairs of glorious oppai, and I was done. Then you get a condom, “omiyage” apparently, which was neat.

10/10 experience would recommend still feeling like that was one of the strangest things ive done here in Japan yet..and how it would be so vehemently opposed in a Western country. Undecided as to the feminist implications nah who am I kidding its pretty objectifying but yeah it is what it is

Could events like this catch on? The new ALS ice bucket challenge?
