Being a porn star is a dream job for a lot of men.
Japan has only 70 such positions in its immense adult video (AV) industry.
For those left to contemplate what might have been, there is this month’s release of “The Other Side Of The Sex,” a documentary in which 20 male actors discuss women, sex, and more — but implore that it’s hard work...
“They’ll often boast about having 100 women,” says co-director Hidekazu Takahara. “But they will also have to be able to get it up in front of an actress they don’t desire.”
Today’s actors... can become easily overworked through “real sex.”
“We have gone from three shoots in two days in the past to four or five shoots in one day,” says the film’s other director, Yujiro Enoki... who has more than 2,000 titles to his credit. “An actor has got to rise to the occasion seven times (in one day), and for each of those times it is with a different actress.”
At present, the industry reportedly employs 10,000 actresses, releases 4,500 titles monthly, and generates 55 billion yen in annual sales.
