Ladies, has there been a towel-clad, handsome man-sized hole in your heart when you're bathing? This Sunday could be your very last to bear such a burden, because the broadcasting station BS Japan, which brought you a summer of bathing boy beauties, is delivering in full with DVD's and books sure to steam up your sunglasses.

The godsend I speak is of course the hit summer TV show, “Men's Onsen.” Created with women in mind, the show follows a group of five ikemen (good-looking men) as they travel to various onsen hot springs and inns, complete with many a steamy scene in the bath.

Whether you're enjoying alone or throwing a girl's night, “Men's Onsen” is the perfect solution to all of your entertaining troubles. Simply pop in the DVD, bring a pot of water to a boil, and your friends will feel like VIP members in Japan's sexiest bath house.
