As if the world did not have enough problems, now it seems Japan’s US$20-billion porn industry is suffering from a shortage of men. There are only 70 men on hand to service the 10,000 actresses. Can’t someone give these guys some relief?
If you are an unemployed male, perhaps you should start thinking of hopping that next flight to Tokyo.
I guess the Japanese will have to specialize in girl-on-girl porn.
I don’t really see that as a problem.
…Somehow, that’s how I read your thread title.
Are they having trouble finding “qualified” local candidates?
just the opportunity I’ve been waiting for
From the link (which is relatively safe for work BTW. At least, there’s no nudity. But the subject matter may make some company IT departments frown):
**"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’.”**
Finally, my ambition of becoming the “Toshiro Mifune” of Japanese Porn has a chance to come to fruition, so to speak.
That quote is kind of ironic, if he is in the business of supplying what they go to the internet to click on.
By the way, Japanese gay porn may be having a similar problem. They seem to recruit newbies like college students to be the passive receivers of sexual attention from what seems to be a limited handful of experienced guys.
Or so I’m told.
Well if its anything like Japanese magna then its all women dressed in schoolgirl outfits beating the crap out of men.
Every guy commenting here should be in the whole "yay!!! RESOURCING BACK!’ feeling.
(From what I read about white men and japanese porn. Which frankly are a little on the freaky side.)
I submitted my resume. Under vital stats I listed 16. Think they’ll figure out it’s centimeters?
And a light bulb moment later, a new niche fetish site was born.
I applied as well, and pointed out that they would save money blurring out my genitalia. Ten, twenty pixels, tops, so :fingers crossed:

I like pineapple but I can’t see getting THAT excited about one either.
If Japanese porn were like US, they could solve this by hiring Korean male leads. The equivalent of “white girls crave Black studs.”
Maybe not a universal equation, since there’s no “Mick on Brit,” “Palestinian pounds her Gaza Strip,” “Minneapolis co-eds who crave St Paul cock” etc.
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It’s easy when you’re big in Japan
