The Japanese Porn Industry: 5 Things We Learned at Japan Adult Expo

The Japanese porn sector reported a revenue of $20 billion in 2021. Moreover, the amount of X-rated content produced in Japan has already reached the level of the United States. More than 5,000 porn films are released annually. Approximately 14 porn films see the world every day. Amazingly, a lot of people are ready to purchase this kind of content.

Believe it or not, Japan takes the second place after South Korea in terms of finances spent on X-rated content. The top porn managers from Japan want to support their followers at the Japan Adult Expo (JAE). What’s so special about it? Known as the thanksgiving festival for porn followers, the JAE lets agencies from different regions across the country promote their recent products. Many of those are offered as free Japanese porn.

If you don’t have an opportunity to enjoy free Japanese porn movies at the JAE, you still can learn what’s going on there. Below, you will find five things about the JAE.

1. Some Fans Collect Porn Stars Like Baseball Cards

Whether you are a fan of Japanese porn or music, you have more or less the same habits. You surely want to have a lot of souvenirs that would be associated with your “idols”. These could be quick pictures, known as cheki, of their top stars. While visiting the JAE or any Whether you are a fan of Japanese porn or music, you have more or less the same habits. You surely want to have a lot of souvenirs that would be associated with your “idols”. These could be quick pictures, known as cheki, of their top stars. While visiting the JAE or any other event in the porn industry, local fans try to get those cards signed by various performers and then exchanged for other valuable items.

Some fans have lots of cheki in their collection. Once autographed, they become extremely valuable. The JAE happens to be a great place for the so-called collectors to sell cheki. Many people are ready to pay a lot of money to get even one of those pictures.

At the JAE, a lot of fans try to make some new pictures with fast and simple cameras and get them signed by porn models wearing nothing but bikinis. The average price ranges from $5 to $10 per set of several cheki.

2. The Big Thing In Japanese Porn Is Virtual Reality … At Least Now

Many porn agencies are represented at the JAE. All of them aim to introduce their best free Japanese porn to the audience. But just some of them offer a real experience. How do they do it? Thanks to Virtual Reality (VR), the opportunities for producers get more and more diverse.

The variety of VR porn scenarios is immense. No wonder there are many people who want to try this kind of experience. For example, you can put a headset on and enjoy a pre-recorded video where you can take some actions. Just imagine how virtual actresses will be saying words of love and touching your hands.

3. No Such Thing as Professional Male Porn Actors in Japan

Japanese porn male performers are far from being professionals. They don’t need special education to be part of the X-rated industry. However, they need to fulfill the particular criteria for this job.

Male porn actors are expected to be between 30 to 70 years old. They are not allowed to do any other job apart from acting in the Japanese XXX industry. At the same time, they can’t make a fortune while acting in free Japanese porn films. Beginners can’t expect to get even $100 per film. No wonder so few men agree to this job.

The JAE always tries to highlight this problem. They represent a few if any male performers. By the end of the second day, adult performers like Taka “Goldfinger” Kato cmayan visit the event. But fans can never know this for sure. This information remains secret till the very last moment.

4. Geeks Has Become a Surprisingly Lucrative Porn Market

If you think that the most devoted fans are sexually active individuals, you are wrong. Interestingly, geeks are the most active user of free Japanese porn sites. They also follow the events in the porn sector and spend pretty much money on porn products.

The category of porn movies devoted to geeks is also incredibly popular. In fact, the stands of Saikyō Zokusei and GIGA are the most crowded spots at the JAE. Who knows, maybe the “geek” porn content with various superheroes makes some people feel stronger than they are and more powerful than they are.

GIGA reported that their average fan spends around $110 on their X-rated content and other products every month. Meanwhile, the average fan of porn in Japan spends up to $160 annually. The difference speaks for itself.

When it comes to Saikyō Zokusei, heroines from cartoons and comics often turn out to be weirdos themselves. They play a lot of roles upon request. They can be whatever you want. And this is what makes them so popular among porn lovers.

5. People Will Pay Any Money to Get Closer to Their Favourite Porn Actors and Actresses

Fans of porn gladly buy everything that reminds them of their favourites. These can be posters, T-shirts, cups, photos, notebooks, and so on. Some porn companies offer much more than that.

Just take a look at Lammtarra. This company offers unusual services to their customers. For less than $10, their models can talk to you in interesting ways. They can blow in your ear, pet you on the head, slap your face, or do any other “weird” thing that might turn you on. This kind of intimacy is desired by many porn fans.

Lammtarra offers one more service to be won in an automated machine – a male or female porn performer can give a soft slap on your wrist. The service is provided in the exact format as it is described. One ticket costs around $5. And it can be purchased at the JAE.

Those who want to get the Lammtarra-like service in a more prolonged format should consider referring to Momotaro. This company offers a more long-lasting experience. For $30, you can purchase the clothes belonging to porn models. Sounds great, doesn’t it?!

    the hyper-linked ‘heroines’ article is recent and pretty good. the entire post itself, though, is from a 2018 article.

    regardless of low pay and being ostracized from japanese social circles, i’d still be a japanese male porn actor. no surprise there.

    were there discussions about ending the censorship on movies??

    What we know about Japanese porn. It sucks, pixelated sex scenes is like cutting out all the action scenes in an action movie!

  4. Scooter says:

    Agreed. It seems like such a waste. For a country that, according to the article, is based on eroticism – why pixelate porn?
    Totally boring. The Japanese stuff that’s crazy and extreme is awesome. I can’t get enough of it. My favorite is a woman who stuffed her pussy with guppies and shot them out! I fucking love the Japanese extreme shit. Plus it isn’t pixelated.
