Only about 70 male actors to 10,000 women; $20 bn porn industry under threat


TOKYO:

For a man carrying a nation's libido on his shoulders, Japanese "porn king Shimiken" looks as fresh as a daisy. The 35-year-old cult hero, described by one director as the Cristiano Ronaldo of sex and famed for his Herculean powers between the sheets, grins as he tells AFP, "It's a hard job, but somebody's got to do it."

Shimiken — real name Ken Shimizu — has slept with more than 8,000 women for his 7,500 movies, and recently caused a stir by begging for reinforcements, tweeting that there were more Bengali tigers alive than male porn actors in Japan. "There are about 70 male actors to 10,000 women," he said. Shimiken's call to arms was retweeted thousands of times by fans worried about Japan's $20 billion adult video industry coming under threat. "It is boring for viewers to watch the same actors all the time. That's the biggest worry," he added.

Shimiken insisted he has the staying power to keep on going, despite making an eye-popping two to three films in an average day. "Usually I sleep with two or three girls a day, so I have sex for about two hours every day," he chirped. "It's my dream job — I've been doing this for 17 years and I never get bored of it. It beats working in an office. I'll do this until I'm 100."

He may have to, if the decline in male actors continues. Many industry insiders blame the conundrum on a growing social trend known as herbivore men: Those who shun sex and traditional masculine values in favour of a quiet, uncompetitive lifestyle. "Mentally, men have become weaker," said actress Yuko Shiraki. "They're less macho, less proactive about sex."

Celebrated director Tohjiro agrees Japanese men are going soft. "I've been in this business for 27 years and you can see the increase in herbivore males," he said. "Men aren't hungry anymore. They've lost their desire. Everything's on a plate for them. It wasn't like that for my generation. If we got a banana or a pineapple, we went crazy with joy. These days, men don't get excited by anything. The same applies to sex and attitude towards women and relationships. They just click on the internet for it."

.............. *Immediately buys airline ticket to Japan*

Where to apply? I accept minimum salary for this job. Do they accept non japanese?

A long resume is required.

... Not in japan.

Sleeping w/ 8000 women just seems wrong and way to big of a pain in the ass. It's one thing to have a couple dozen girlfriends over time but to sleep w/ a plurality of women on a daily basis is just way too much work.

I wanted to go to japan, Where to send my CV  ;) ;D Lets Have some fuck

Maybe Japanese women just aren't as bad as Western women? lol :P I must GO!

I think they are, But there is another option, may be Japanes man are not too much hard to work on it lol.
Secondly Women are more and men are less in this filed and men has to work more.

It's hard enough to argue with one woman.

How can eight thousand of them be wrong?

Isn't Japanese porn all censored? I've never understood the actual point of watching censored porn. Kinda just defeats the whole purpose to me. I really don't understand how there can be a shortage of men either. Just ask some men on the street if they wanna be a pornstar and I'm sure you'll get plenty of eager participants.

Oh!  Now I get it.  I thought Japanese reproductive organs looked like cotton candy?

not all of them are censored, there are plenty of japanese porn that is not censored. I just finished watching one..  :P *cough*

though I'm not sure if they got decensored or never got censored in the first place.

It takes a very particular set of skills. I can't imagine there are actually that many men who could do it.

You have to get it up and spurt all over the place on command even if you're totally repulsed by your co star and you're more concerned with repairing the dishwasher when you get home. Then you gotta do it all again tomorrow and the next day etc etc.

It might be fun to start off with. No way I could or would want to sustain it.

If sleeping with 8000 women is a pain in the ass for you then im sorry to say this but i think your doing it all wrong.  :D

8,000 different women?
I think I will be happy if I have sex 800 times in my life.  :P

Sometimes watching a Japanese Porn is like watching a black and white in a tv better to take off the censored part.

Its like when the porn channel used to be squiggly lines and you would watch it for 5 minutes hoping to see a tri colored titty.

Although it sounds like a dream job, I wouldn't do it.

It would ruin sex and your in jap porn so its going to get really wierd really quick.

Christ I was laughing hard as hell when I saw this. Japanese pornography contains the weirdest and repulsive content I've heard of. I wouldn't blame men for staying away though, sex for 2 hours a day?  :o

I think many chinese men applicant are now falling in line,
since they only have dolls on their bed.

I don't know why japanese porn had a censored to their vagina. Also one of the weirdest porn stuffs I've seen.

Just as you can judge a country by how it treats its prisoners, its porn is also a good indicator of the national psyche. Going on what Japanese porno people get up to, I'm not so sure it's a very well adjusted place.

Maybe they want to make a different porn movie with other countries. if you watch porn and see censored part on actor and actress genital, you will notice "oh that's japanese adult movie".

After Japan surrendered in 1945, the USA came up with a master plan to make sure that Japan will never again be a super power (just like what they did with Germany). The result is that a majority of the population is addicted to porn and not interested in real sex, and the birth rate has nosedived to one of the lowest in the world. South Korea is also moving in the same direction.

Maybe if our porn was censored we too would have thousands of girls begging for it.

so that's why japan have the great porn industry in the world  :o
but i never heard about south korea porn,
people just knew about korean girls who faking their face and body with botox

Is it not more to do with their own self imposed culture? The relentless pressure from education that carries on straight into the working world isn't going to inspire you into seeking out much sexytime.

Before 1945, the Japanese society was one of the most conservative in the entire East Asian region. Now Japan is home to the largest porn industry in the world. I agree that the professional pressure is extreme in Japan. But that is not the real reason for the current "asexual" nature of the Japanese people. Porn addiction has broken all limits in Japan. It is affecting everyone in the age range from 10 years to 90 years.

Japan is also infamous for its forced sex or rape movies largely known as 'pink films' - the name has become almost a Japanese trademark.
I don't know if has any relation to world war and USA but there is a cult following for pink films in Japan, some directors explicitly focusing on such works.

I always wondered how a country full of such porn and pink films has such a sex problem and dangerously low population growth.
Now I understand that porn and pink films ARE the reason for low sex and population growth.

LOL, there are so many unemployed men in a europe or america or in russia. Can't they really find someone =)
A lot would get in line to get this job. Or is it just a fake?

Japan is a homogeneous society. They don't accept immigrants from the non-Japanese population. Even ethnic Japanese migrants from Brazil and Bolivia have faced difficulties in migrating to Japan. And there are very few foreign porn-stars in Japan. They prefer either full-blooded ethnic Japanese, or those of partial descent (for example mixed race individuals from the Philippines).

The women in this industry should migrate out of Japan. They will be accepted in a flash in any other country.  ;)

Do you know that some woman in Japan was more interested to join the porn industry. They can be out of her job as an employee to be porn actress. I don't think they were be forced to be that. http://youoffendmeyouoffendmyfamily.com/if-you%E2%80%99re-a-japanese-woman-there%E2%80%99s-a-good-chance-you%E2%80%99re-a-porn-star/

japanese female in porn always hairy and act like they're getting raped

I don't think so. The vast majority of the female Japanese porn actors are foreigners with ethnic Japanese background, mostly coming from nations such as Brazil and Phlippines, where there are large immigrant populations. The porn industry in Japan is very lucrative, with actors paid many times as compared to their salary for the same in the USA. Japan is still a very conservative society, and it is a very male-dominated one as well. Almost all the women who join this industry will be eventually disowned by their own families.

You mean Bengal Tigers Bengali is used refer to a person who is speaks the language Bengali.

A moth exclusively found in the marshes of Bengal shall be called a Bengal Moth, not a bengali moth as moths do not speak Bengali.

Another insightful analysis from Daniel Bryan Nicole Kidman BRYANT COLEMAN, a person who probably never visited Japan or never had any Japanese friends, and whose source of knowledge comes from the index library of Google.

Have you ever seen Japanese adult video? I think you must watch it before posted about that.  ;D
The majority actress is native Japanese and maybe sometimes there is half caste actress.
How can her family admit her again after they have known that she is a porn actress.

Acutally this could be a hard job, cause you need to keep fuxking for hours......

lol
that's right
you must do many scene just for make a film
If you can endure the pain, welcome to the industry  ;D

May be you should carefully read what I had written earlier. As I have said, almost all of the actresses are of Japanese descent (either full-bloods or partial-bloods). But most of these girls don't have Japanese citizenship. They are immigrants from countries such as Brazil and Bolivia, where large ethnic Japanese communities are present.

Yeah actually I don't get it what you said. This is Japanese Industry, so all of the movies were made in Japan. I don't agree when you said they are immigrants, because Japan is one of the most expensive country for cost of living. That's why Japan just has little amount of immigrants. How could person of other country want to living in a expensive place like Japan.

I live in the UK. It's one of the most expensive places to live in the whole wide world. Hundreds of thousands of people arrive from 'cheap' countries every year looking for a piece of the action.

It's nothing to do with the Japanese cost of living, it's all to do with their determination to remain a homogeneous society. In the long run that approach is likely to cause them serious demographic problems.

No not that hard if you have a high sex drive like a lot do maybe not in japan but I know for sure I have lol I would be very happy and capable to take 3-4 hot Japanese girls for just 2-3 hours a day although I would take the weekends off  :D Need to know requirements and I think I would be willing to journey over there and give our hard working friend some reinforcements.

Hmm.... Yes. Japan is very expensive for immigrants (and natives as well). The salary (not talking about porn here) is quite high, but not much more than that in Germany or France. Working conditions are much worse than the Western nations. But the real reason why Japan has so few immigrants is not the cost of living. It is extremely hard to get a Japanese work visa, unless you have at least partial Japanese ancestry. In the Philippines, there is a large community of mixed race people (Japanese - Filipino). Some of them look exactly like the Japanese, and the average salary in Philippines is a small fraction of that in Japan. So these girls take advantage of their looks (and their ancestry), to work in the Japanese porn sector.

I'm wondering how that male can be so strong and can stay for long.... :(


it would kill you instantly

The Japanese legendary porn actor Shimiken featured in the article is doing this for last 17 years. He says he has slept with more than 8000 women and has acted in more than 7500 films.

That 's more than one woman & film per day. (6200 days)
How would we not call him ' legendary ' actor?   :D

I assume if i am ever watching a Japanese porn movie and I don't know who the male actor is,  i will just assume he is Shimiken.

Japanese dont solve their problems by importing wagons of foreigners. I am willing to bet, that they rather try to master cloning, than letting their culture disappear.

Your understanding of demographics is rather funny. Japanese demo problems are result of clash of its traditional values being heavily warped by western consumeralism post-war. Same case with Germany.

By your logic, Africa should start importing millions of foreigners (Indians perhaps? Euros are in short supply), so they escape extinction.

It is true that in most of the developed nations, the population is declining. The elderly population is increasing, and at the same time the proportion of people in the working age is diminishing. Various nations have widely differing solutions to this problem. Nations such as the United Kingdom are importing migrants from outside to replenish their shrinking workforce. However, the Japs are not much interested in immigration. They are attempting to solve this by increasing automation and forcing retirees back to the workforce.  ;D

This seemed like a bait article
But I bit into it anyways this seems like a fun way to spend a vacation as long as you get to pick the cream of the crop
With that many applicants I'm sure someone would meet the personal tastes and requirements of a savvy male shopper ha-ha

8,000 women huh? Surely this puts most gynecologists to shame lol  :D Anybody knows if the guy has photographic memory?? I mean he'd literally be a walking encyclopedia if he could recall the names of the women and retrieve all associated images in detail  ::)

Unless you have some Japanese blood, you have a near-zero chance of making it to the Japanese porn industry. The Japanese porn sector might be the biggest in the world (in terms of volume and revenue), but inter-racial porn is still a taboo there. There are some Japanese AV companies producing inter-racial porn, but the volumes are not that high, and they represent only a small fraction of all the JAV videos.

They do not accept foreign actors or non Japan. In the japanese porn (http://www.japanesepornhd.com/) they are quite leery of fact if you go to Japan you can not go to a club with prostitutes without being accompanied by a Japanese. An interesting thread, I liked it.

Maybe they need to get out more.

But if a nation had a policy of maintaining racial purity, regulating porn would be an obvious thing.

Yes its true, eventhough their porn is one of the biggest in asia but their acceptance of other country citizen is very low

That's actually wrong, I've done my research and it would be cheaper for me to move to Japan than to live here in the UK if I made a good chunk of money, when you use B.itcoin inflation becomes much less of an issue, by the way, another factor in this is apparently they have capped third party car insurance, another thing which makes it a lot cheaper to live their than the UK as well as a proper progressive tax system.

Even the housing prices are cheaper overall in Japan compared to a lot of western countries, that's if you look outside Tokyo of course.

The truth about Japan's lack of sexually active men is simple to understand: the more limited your social space, the harder people fight for those spaces, to the point that most people can't compete; those who cannot compete become "beautiful ones", or what's known in Japan as "herbivore men."  There was an experiment named "The Mouse Utopia" which showed a sped-up version of this phenomenon, you can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Z760XNy4VM  The mice in this video which gave up their sexuality focused almost solely on maintenance of their appearance; the key here is that they neglect to have families, which is among the parallels with herbivore men.  Consider, now, the appearances of herbivore men:

Some Western examples:
http://static.davidreport.com/2012/11/Herbivore-Men.jpg

It's not just Japan; you can find this in any country where social space is becoming increasingly limited.  It's noticeable over here in the West as well with the rise of e.g. feminism and mgtow, and falling birthrates.  But Japan appears to be in the most advanced stage of this.  Of course, Japan is well known for its severely limited space physically, but this translates to limited social space as well, especially considering how machines do more and more of the work which would otherwise necessitate people (i.e. give them a space in society), and now consider the dawn of sex bots which would weaken the social power of women, given enough time and innovation, and thus tighten the space for them as well--but likewise, the lack of participating men naturally lends itself to the rise of non-participating women, for women have to compete with one another for the remaining participating men.  Notice that this is primarily occurring in the most advanced nations.  Meanwhile, the sex drives of the worst nations flourish--esp. noticeable with the middle-eastern "refugees" and their rapefest as of late.  And of course, their appearances are nothing to envy.

The problem is not limited geography--this can be an issue, particularly considering Japan, but seeing as there's plenty of empty physical space in, say, America, and yet still we are seeing a rise of the beautiful ones, it becomes clear that the true issue here is the lack of social expansion--this is becoming increasingly true for the latest generations, they just don't have anywhere they need to be for there's nobody who wants them and it shows with their ideological leanings, e.g. SJWs and Bernie supporters (socialists, i.e. exacerbators.)  If you understand how the state impedes market activity which directly translates to slower business creation and worse business performance, you will understand how a state which grows its power lends itself to the issue: when you're paying the cost of high taxes and the watering down of your purchasing power a la inflation, you're left with less for yourself, and this makes it difficult to produce new businesses, in other words to create more social space; allotting people more of their own earnings would allow people the time, resources, energy and motivation to expand and procreate.  The alternative resolution to this issue is, instead of increasing the amount of social space, you decrease the amount of people competing for those spaces: enter, war.  But that doesn't help anybody at best and just sets everyone back at worst (especially consider its cost not just in human lives but the financial expenses involved per se), it's more like a violent expulsion of the at-present non-necessary members of society than a beneficial solution to the core issue, being lack of social expansion.  Through improvements to our rate of social expansion, those non-desired members of society become desired once again (well, except for the violent criminals, they'll still be non-desired) as there is eventually a surplus of social space to fill, rather than competition for limited and shrinking space--a golden age, totally opposite to what we have today.

This phenomenon is not just limited to Japan. Actually, the situation is much worse in countries such as Norway and Sweden. In these countries, more than 80% of the young males are feminine. The same for Japan may be 20% at the most. Other Western nations such as Germany, Canada, Austria, Finland, Netherlands.etc are not that far behind.

yeah i already hear about this news,and its interesting job vacancy huh?? ;D
and this is why in japan pron industry the actor always be older and uglier that the women,its happen almost in every videos i watched :D

An interesting topic ;D
They can't find man willing to do that? Japanese porn stars are without man....Need to import then :D

The reasons are cultural. Porn is more or less of a taboo in Japan, although the Japanese porn sector is the largest in the world (with annual revenues of close to $100 billion USD). Acting in porn movies is not considered as a respected profession, and actors face harassment and violence. The Japanese society is more conservative and male-dominated, unlike the liberal and female dominated societies such as those in the US and the EU.
