Winner would have been better if it saved the reveal of the Tenga logo till the final shot of the product.

Some of the runner up commercials played too much into tenga/sex toys being a lonely guy's "substitute" for a woman rather than a pleasurable toy (for any reason) in its own right.

Tenga itself apparently wants to shy away from any stigmas against masturbation although I don't know if in Japan penetrative toys have the exact same stigma as in the US (IE only "unsucessful" weirdos use them)

I wonder if they accepted commercials for their vibrators too lol

After having learned that, I'll never look at "IHG" the same away again. Whoever thought this combination of these letters would have a sexual reference? Neutral

Looking at that image of the fisherman I thought it was a fishing lure. But dammit what is it? What the hell is it.

It's just this mystery bottle shaped like a damn Russian doll. Is it like viagra? Is it a lube? Is it a vibrator? Does it give you god sized "boners" in shunga art? Or is it something you shove up you...well...

What the hell is it?
