Nyotaimori (Japanese: 女体盛り, "female body presentation"), often referred to as "body sushi," is the practice of serving sashimi or sushi from the body of a woman, typically naked. Nantaimori (Japanese: 男体盛り) refers to the same practice using a male model. This subdivision of food play is originally an obscure Japanese practice that has attracted considerable international media attention. As a result of being served on a human body, the temperature of the sushi or sashimi comes closer to body temperature.

Procedures
Before becoming a living sushi platter, the person is trained to lie down for hours without moving. She or he must also be able to withstand the prolonged exposure to the cold food. Body hair, including pubic hair, would also be shaved, as a display of pubic hair may be seen as a sexual act.[citation needed] Before service, the individual would take a bath using a special fragrance-free soap and then finish off with a splash of cold water to cool the body down somewhat for the sushi. In some parts of the world, in order to comply with sanitation laws, there must be a layer of plastic or other material between the sushi and the body of the woman or man.
Worldwide reception
While legal in most jurisdictions, nyotaimori can cause some friction in more conservative societies. (Nyotaimori is currently illegal in China. [1]) However, the practice of nyotaimori has swept through Europe[1], New York, Florida, Chicago and Los Angeles.[2]
Popular culture
Less common, but not unheard of, is the practice of using a male model for the same purpose, called nantaimori (Japanese: 男体盛り). Nyotaimori was parodied in the 2009 film Brüno. The title character serves sushi to Paula Abdul on the body of a naked Mexican man, causing her to leave in disgust.
There is an iPhone app based on Nyotaimori.[3]
In the Sex and the City movie, Samantha Jones makes sushi and covers her body with it for a Valentine's Day present.
