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.

    I mean I don't really like the government. But I would also prefer to have one than... not have any government. Like we need to have police forces and national welfare systems, but I don't think the cop that is pulling you over for speeding is the same cop that should also be responding to active terror events.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am talking about federal.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    State and local elections I believe in when it comes to governing. Of course the military
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Federal should do military
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The federal government should do the military not the police. I hope Trump gets rid of the income tax
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I hold no hope of Trump getting rid of income tax though.
  • jonas jonas:
    Trump is a wildcard, but in the end, it's the republican party that makes the laws, Trump can only do exec orders
  • jonas jonas:
    I don't think the Republicans will get rid of income tax, at most lower it a little, mostly for people with 6 figures+. But that's just my opinion
  • The Helper The Helper:
    one can dream
  • Ghan Ghan:
    FairTax would be nice.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    But the electorate would have to demand it and vote people in to do it.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Government spending, foreign policy, and the southern border are all bigger issues than the income tax right now I'd say.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    For you those are the bigger issues. Cannabis legalization and get rid of Income tax are mine.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    We have so much cannabis up here in Oklahoma. Can't go a block without running into 3 dispensaries. xD
  • The Helper The Helper:
    if the demand is there
  • jonas jonas:
    I think the biggest issue in USA is how divided the country has become
  • Ghan Ghan:
    There's a big split happening in fundamental values that is very worrisome.
  • jonas jonas:
    I think there's always been a split in values. But now there's a split in what reality is. No matter whom you ask, they think a third of the country is insane and wants to destroy the country
  • The Helper The Helper:
    pretty big split

  • The Helper The Helper:
    We should add that as part of site navigation
  • Varine Varine:
    I just don't think Trump actually understands how the government works. I'm not going to pretend like I can understand the entirety of government but in my industry he kind of caused massive fucking issues. Tarriffs and the international counters had a pretty significant impact on what I do, it was actually kind of interesting to see though. I live in Idaho so I'm not really concerned with it, it'll be R pretty much the entire way down. We do have ranked choice on our ballot this year though and I DO really care about that. But if we are going to have a federal government we kind of need income tax. They could abolish it and tax states I guess, but then states are just going to raise income taxes. It's not really viable without a very significant and holistic overhaul of how the federal government works, and that isn't something I would expect Trump to do.
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't expect Harris to do it either. I want to see wealth and church taxes, but those also aren't things I'm going to hold my breath for.
