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 says: “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.

“We’re an endangered species,” he said in an interview. “There are about 70 male actors to 10,000 women.”

Shimiken’s call to arms was retweeted thousands of times by fans worried Japan’s $20 billion adult video industry could be under threat.

“We’re getting rarer and rarer, like pandas,” said the celebrity Lothario, who drives a vintage DeLorean sports car — the time machine in “Back to the Future” — and carries phallus-shaped business cards.

“It is boring for viewers to watch the same actors all the time. That’s the biggest worry.”

... I don't think most viewers care about the guy. Though I do think it odd that there are only 70. Seems like a 'profession' that would have more men than women applicants.

That also implies there's a market that all males can go for, lucratively. It's just not popular enough, and it could be other factors making it unpopular to work for, such as paychecks, insurances, work conditions, etc.
 
I feel like there would be plenty of men willing to star in porn for free.
 
The article says that the 35 year old guy has at least 7,500 movies and has fucked over 8,000 women over the span of his career. That's like 1.5 movies a day lol!
 
I don't think they take that long to make.
 
Maybe they need to import porn actors from oversees?
Maybe theirs are just shy because japanese penises are so small?

If I'm lookin' at porn, I don't wanna see the same chick or the same dude in two different videos unless there's some extenuating circumstances. Granted, it's easier not to notice that the guy is the same, but sometimes they start with all their clothes on playing out some kind of scenario, and it's like, "Oh, this guy. I don't wanna see him again."

Hell, maybe it's just me. But.
I care.

I dont wanna see any guys. The more girls the better. Keep the dudes away.
 
Keep their faces out of it, and you would never know.

God, that sounds boring. Just two bodies pounding away at one another? You can do that bit yourself without much trouble. You don't watch porn to see two people having sex, you watch porn to see two people having sex in a way you wouldn't have it yourself. For example: rape, blackmail, midget, amputee, incest, on a bus, on a plane, underwater or in a train. They could have sex here or there, they could have it anywhere. But you can't, and that's what makes porn fun.

And to the gay bit, who knows? I'm definitely the guy that thinks Game of Thrones is shoddily written because they can't get through a major scene of dialogue without flopping some titties out, so take that how you will.

I feel ya. All I looked at was lesbian porn when I was younger. That shit's kinda boring too, though. Sexy, sure, but boring.

So, if I combine this post of yours with this one:
You don't watch porn to see two people having sex, you watch porn to see two people having sex in a way you wouldn't have it yourself. For example: rape, blackmail, midget, amputee, incest, on a bus, on a plane, underwater or in a train. They could have sex here or there, they could have it anywhere. But you can't, and that's what makes porn fun.
The conclusion is that you believe that either:
a) 2 woman are not people
or b) 2 woman can not have rape, blackmail, midget, amputee, incest sex or sex on a bus, on a plane, underwater or in a train
or both.

You are kinda sexist.
 
More that, that sort of porn is harder to come by, and that I assumed you were talking about regular old lesbian porn. Any of the above scenarios would be exceptional cases that should be taken full advantage of, when available. But again, after the first watch, I rarely wanna go back and see the same people again, especially when they're doing the same thing in the same place. But again, again, those all sound like they might be worth multiple views.

Sexist? Who cares. We're talking about porn for fuck's sake, but even if we weren't. Who here actually cares about any aspect of yours or my life or personality? Let's be realistic.

Obviously no one does, but that doesnt mean I cant thrash talk you in order to make myself look (and feel) better.
 
Let's "Stop" the freaky humping porn, because there's nothing funny about it.

    We have some elderly guests that regularly come hang out at the bar at the end of the night, and every once in a while we don't see someone for a few weeks and then someone shows up with their obituary.
  • Varine Varine:
    We usually let them do their memorials there in the morning if they want to and I'll make them some snacks and drinks. There was one guy named Tom that came in like every night and would sit by himself and get a bunch of soup and a glass of wine. idk why but he LOVED our fucking soup, like he would order a fucking quart of it at a time and would always get so sad when we stop doing it for the summer.

  • Varine Varine:
    But he also loved our calamari, which is another thing I hate but it sells super well so I can't change it. There was one day he came in and was asking me how to make it, because he tried to at home once in the off season when we stop running it and he really wanted it lol
  • Varine Varine:
    I think he's one of the only people I've made recipes for for free because he really wanted a broccoli cheddar, and it was like dude I don't have a recipe, it's just whatever I have, but here, this is how you do it
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think he ever figured out how to do the calamari in a pan though, like idk how to do that either. He was afraid of the at home deep fryers though and it's like yeah, that's fair, I am too
  • Varine Varine:
    He was just such a sweet old man, we had two servers pregnant and they held a baby shower together, he was soooooo fucking excited to get to see a baby. Unfortunately he died a month or so before they were born
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So I decided to Google some people that I had not seen or heard from in a while and sure enough one of my old best friends, we had a falling out years ago but whatever, find out he died of Pancreatic Cancer in January. I have also lost a few of my closer acquaintances from growing up the last year. Getting old - people die - I kinda thought it was going to be this way a few years ago....

    Forum running super slow again
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not really clear from the stats as to what is causing the slowness.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    We get a lot of guest traffic so it may just be the load is getting too high and not from any particular source.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Looks like the server is maxed out on CPU.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Oh it looks like a lot of the traffic is Silkroad Forums. That domain isn't protected by Cloudflare.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    But the old Silkroad site is still on its own server. I just had a test site set up on this server for it.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I just disabled that test site. Let's see if that helps the load.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Looks much better already.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I had actually forgot about the Silkroad site. I had asked
  • The Helper The Helper:
    SD Ryoko about it and he said the couple of people left on there really like it, that was a few years ago, maybe I should check back
  • jonas jonas:
    I guess when you're getting old, and the last day of soup season draws near, you start wondering
  • jonas jonas:
    will I make it to the start of the next season? or was this the last time I'll ever have my favorite dish?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am doing my first Vibe Coding project. In installed the environment and tools according to instructions but it is all chat doing this for me at my direction. It is fun really and holy shit I might finish in 2 hours what it would have taken a day to in my Access and this would be an electron app complete new

    Good stuff.
