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!

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.

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.
