Yeah, what really bothers me about JAV is the mainstream portrayal of non-consensual sex, especially when the moral of the story is almost always the woman will eventually become a willing and enthusiastic participant if you keep raping her. It's one thing for a college girl who fucks her professor for an A (hot), but another thing entirely for the common "I fucked your wife in front of your eyes" and other movies that pretty much all mainstream JAV actresses make.

Nana Ogura is stunning, but her, and some other JAV stars, movies seem to focus on her ability to squirt (ie, pee with a guy fingering her), which does nothing for me.

Yeah Eririka does rape play videos.
I have mixed feelings about those. I'm very submissive (especially in trustful relationships) and can get excited from doing rape play or watching rape play porn but like, a lot of people get crazy "inspiration" from porn and i don't want those to lead to any real rape.

I had girl on girl sex with her and i think she reasonably likes sex but she's not one of those crazies who keep comming over and over for one hour. But she's naughty.

I find western porn much worse for this. The thing I like about JAV is that there seems to be so much variety in it - but I know that a lot of people who only come across it (ooerr etc) by accident while mainly surfing for western porn only seem to encounter certain types - like, i think a lot of the stuff they repurposed for western internet users only reflects a small part of what is actually on offer (not saying that you have only experienced JAV in this way, just tangentially observing).

One of the things I like about JAV is the availability of scenes showing women having sex with multiple guys with deep/French kissing and/or multiple cream pies for example, which is not common in western porn. For that reason I like some of the Tokyo Hot stuff (though not the rapey stuff). There are some great threesomes in JAV, too, where all the participants seem to be enjoying themselves.

As for actresses my current favorite is AIKA; older ones include ran asakawa, mail hanano, Asami ogawa, sakura sakurada, riko yamaguchi.

God I love porn.

That's actually a good point - I'm not sure when it came into vogue, but almost all the American porn I've seen in recent years has scenes of forced gagging deep throat, which is just absolutely unsexy to me.

Edit: Just wanted to add - seriously, how sexy is it wondering when a gagging girl is going to throw up in your lap?

The thing with American porn is also that a lot of actresses report being really abused and hurt during the filming while the sex in Jporn is a lot softer and although the girls play recistance in the movies idon't think they actually hate the recording sessions like many of the American girls do.

Surprised at the lack of replies/interest in this thread.

I adore Sakura Mana (佐倉まな) and she's been pretty high ranked in the Japanese if sales say anything. I also really really like Minato Riku (湊莉久), Sunohara Miki (春原未来), and Shunka Ayami (あやみ旬果).

The women in J-porn are maybe the most beautiful women in the world... It's phenomenal.

For what I have read about the AV industry in Japan, and if you look at the profiles of an AV actress in places like DMM outsiders can see it for themselves as well, it is a very standard practice for AV actresses to end up participating in movies from a variety of different genres, specially tougher ones as time goes on.

AV actresses debuts are very mild and softcore, and slowly they grow into more hardcore genres like anal, lesbian (not all women are bicurious), group, bukkake, SM, etc. It’s just a consequence of economics. The rates for AV actresses have never been great, and with piracy they are getting even worse, by the hour an AV salary is higher than what an actress would make as a high class escort or at a high class soapland, but not high enough that you could just film a few softcore movies and retire for life. You could do a few movies, retire, and find a new job, but you won’t be cashing much from being exposed already in porn. Or, you could stay in the AV industry and keep producing more movies, even if roles get tougher with time. The same doesn’t sell as well as what’s new, regardless of genre, and that’s why AV actresses keep shifting genres and can’t turn down many roles, plus they have the pressure from new and younger AV actresses debuting and stealing the spotlight constantly.

I’m not a porn expert, a lot of the names in this thread go over my head. I have just looked at DMM and seen that what I describe (the participation in tougher genres with time) is the case for most AV actresses that have produced several movies. But does someone know of famous exceptions? Actresses that only do fun lovey dove sex and produced several of such videos? I’m aware of actresses that produced only a few software debut videos, but it was because they retired soon. I know of exceptions but on the opposite direction, actresses than only do or mostly do only tougher genres, like SM.

Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Yua Aida, which was a huge name a while back never did anything more than vanilla sex movies.

It really depends on how you define 'vanilla'. Yes, a lot of it is economics, and generally the more popular you are, the longer you can go without taking it in the ass or something else non-vanilla.

There's a lot of sex acts in Japanese porn that are relatively rare - anal, hard S & M, uncensored, etc. But there's a lot of, let's say, psychologically intense sexual situations that are extremely common in mainstream JAV. Bukkake, group sex (generally 2 guys, but sometimes a room full of them), fucking your fans, etc are very much standard in mainstream JAV. The most common one for mainstream JAV actresses that is pretty troubling IMO is how common rape scenes and other 'questions of consent' scenes and movies there are. Everything from 'the repair guy taking advantage of the hitozuma' to 'senpai/boss fucking the girlfriend/wife' all the way up to 'let's kidnap this woman and rape her until she's trained to be our sexual pet'.

Since she's my favorite, I've seen most of her movies, and Yua Aida did a lot of things I wouldn't consider vanilla sex, including sucking off 5 guys in a row, sex while tied up/wearing a collar and leash, a movie about 24 hours of Yua's sex life, including a scene where she's taken advantage of by a traveling salesman, and is tag-teamed by her BF and his senpai, and her final movie where she had sex for 2 hours by a succession of guys non-stop -- supposedly the movie that made her quit the business, although she kept doing nude modeling for a while.

There's AV actresses that are popular enough to do it for a few years to build up a nest egg, or find a sugar daddy or whatever and retire when they do anything they consider too degrading, actresses that do a few movies to pay off debts, or feel that being in movies is too taxing and quit, there's some that do it for a while and keep doing more and more degrading things because they don't mind and they get a paycheck, etc.

Some get famous enough to turn their careers legit, or some work for soaplands or delivery health places after or even during their AV careers. There's more than one "career path" for porn stars.

Well our definition of vanilla might be different, but most of her scenes where rather basic and bland, which is why I always considered her rather boring as a performer, even though I do consider her one of the most beautiful porn stars of all time. She never did fall into the more depraved genres and I really respect her for that. Wouldn't mind seeing her in a soapland either. :D

Yeah, agreed that she's one of the porn stars that was able to leave at the peak of her popularity at the ripe old age of 22. One of my favorite scenes of hers is in the movie If... which is an early one. I dunno why that scene is so heavily edited, but she looks like a real woman enjoying sex instead of her usual Japanese sex kitten act.

I agree with a lot of what you say, and using Yua Aida’s adult filmography as an example, I think is useful to understand in concrete terms the specific genres an AV actress usually takes part in Japan if she stays for enough time in the industry: group sex, soft SM, sex nonstop for long hours, etc.

Outside the specifics acts, the way to describe it is complicated, though. As you pointed out, the definition of vanilla might change between people, and specially if you are used to watching porn or are very flexible in your sexuality the more sex acts you will consider vanilla that other people wouldn’t, like anal or faked-homosexuality for example. I will also talk about using the word degrading later.

I might agree that seemingly nonconsensual sex scenes might suppose some problems from society’s perspective. I’m not entirely sure, though, that they are psychologically intense for the AV actresses. Was that what you mean? I’m under the impression that these films might be psychologically intense for the actresses as well, but not as much as you seem troubled by them. Outside hardcore SM, which often is not entirely acted (more like ‘consented’, but still painful for the actress), soft SM scenes are not supposed to be painful and are acted. For example, forced cuckold, a frequent scenario in Japanese AV, might seem psychologically intense for the viewer, but I doubt it is much more psychologically intense for the actresses if the sex acts are the same as a softcore movie (let’s say penetration and oral, no anal or group sex). The psychological factor is absent, there is no infidelity or rape actually taking place, it’s all acting.*

What gets more troublesome is not the AV plot, but the specific sex acts and how much physical stress, STD risk, and lack of enough remuneration they suppose to the actress. Here you mention one: sex in succession for long hours with many partners. And usually filming hours are much longer than the edited time of the final movie, so it was probably way more hours. If the remuneration is not enough, some of these roles are not as attractive as just plain escorting or working for a soapland. You usually get payed more, but sometimes not as much as one would think. If an actress joined the AV industry hoping that this way she wouldn’t have to had sex with as many partners or work as many hours as in a soapland, but by her fourth AV production she is being asked to have long sessions of sex with many partners, then the cost/value balance starts to turn in the other direction.

I’m not picking on you, but I wouldn’t use the word degrading, it is too tied to personal values. A lot of people consider porn, even the most softcore porn, degrading in nature. I struggle to find a better word, but I prefer using the word tough. Some genres are tougher than others. And by tough I mean they are physically more intense, have a higher risk of STDs, or are not as well remunerated.

A professional AV actress might consider a very well remunerated movie that includes soft SM less ‘degrading professionally’ than a completely softcore movie that pays her just above an escorting job. More than the sex acts, it would be the remuneration or work environment what could be considered degrading by an AV actress. Again, I rarely read or hear porn actresses use the word ‘degrading’ at all, maybe ‘tough’ is not the best alternative, but it tries to be more neutral.*

I would stress, “a few get famous enough to turn their careers legit, and a lot work for soaplands or delivery health places after or even during their AV careers.” That the first thing happens sometimes in Japan is outstanding compared to the rest of the world, but the odds are still low. In practice, the AV industry is more tied to the sex industry (host clubs, escorting, health delivery, soaplands), than to the entertainment or film industry, a lot of AV actresses end up in other parts of the sex industry after they finish their careers, or as you mentioned it, a lot do it simultaneously while it.

The celebrity that got started as an AV actress is still a shot in a million, but Japan is more open about it than other countries.

*This comes from comments of the most vocal AV and porn actresses, usually those that stay for a long time in the industry, I wonder how much these perceptions might change between ‘amateur’ and ‘professional’ AV actresses. The psychological impact might be higher in amateur actresses that are not as vocal as their professional counterparts. One could also argue that professional AV actresses lie and hide a lot of the psychological impact on them, either to don’t hurt their careers, or as a form of coping. Ideally society could discuss this too, but the danger of turning patronizing is so big I prefer to avoid it.

I totally agree with all that @Reon mentioned. His points of view are usually very wise and valuable, somehow he knows exactly how things are from the girl's side and he's better in expressing it than girls themselves might be.


I just wanna add some points to the discussion.

1. A lot of AV actresses don't just "end up" in soaplands, delivery healths or other SW businesses. They use their previous movies to promote themselves. "AV star" is very good adverticement. Also back in Europe i have seen adverticement for parties (seemed just dance parties, nothing too weird) claiming to have some playmate, pornstar or "adult model".
In Japan this is used very much and it can be an awesome promotion for someone who would have been a pretty medicore SW if she didn't star in porn first.
Some girls accept the not so great salaries of AV because they are aiming it as a way to promote themselves. Before i mentioned personally knowing an AV star. She is very cunning. She made a lot in sexual live chat when people didn't get arrested for it and now she is a famous idol in non sexual live chat (camming) and she got some rich papas (sugar daddies) out of her carreer.
She is a very smart woman knowing how to marked herself and how to get into a world of money.


Also about going down to more tough types of AV...
It doesn't have to be a drama i think. If you are relatively new then even soft porn is a giant leap but the more you get familiar with sex the more open minded you become as well. Say that the actress is a "freak" who actually really enjoys sex, then she might be totally open and entausiastic to do something more interesting than basic vanilla.

Thanks for the correction, as you say in most cases in most cases AV actresses don’t just “end up” in soaplands. I was talking rather hypothetically, but is not common, in most cases they start working at soaplands or delivery healths, then do their first AV and keep doing both jobs simultaneously according to which jobs gives them better opportunities. AV actress are either recruited, or on their own apply to AV once they have some sex work experience and feel more comfortable about having sex on camera. Jumping straight to AV, although not inconceivable, would be a shocking experience for the actress and probably AV companies are wary of hiring amateurs not just to AV but to any kind of sex work.

In people’s mind there is the idea of the pure AV actresses. The main reason is because prostitution is illegal in the US (except for and Japan (technically illegal, but with a huge gray zone), while porn acting is legal (in both countries there are no gray zones, it’s completely legal, Japan requires a mosaic though), thus a lot of more people can disclose their past past as porn actors. Another related reason is partly because in scandals or press coverage it is easier to document that someone did AV work at some point in life, but it is much more difficult to prove that someone was a host or worked in a soapland. Someone’s past in hosting or escorting might be well known underground by the people involved, but a newspaper or journalist would have it tougher to prove that in comparison to probe that that person was on an AV. There is some privacy protections for AV actresses, but there is no helping the fact that their faces are filmed. Thus, a lot of AV actresses you can read about on the press are supposed to have only done AV exclusively because that’s as far as it can be proved without facing a libel sue or passing as yellow press.

In practice, exclusive AV actresses are rare. The rates are just not good enough, and the number of productions being made, as high as it might seem is not the same as the number of P4P customers. Most AV actresses do escorting or hosting in some form, sometimes under the same name, or under different names depending on what is best business for them.

Agreed. Emotionally and economically, probably the toughest decision is to be on an AV at all or not for the first time. Once you have been on an AV, trying different roles should get easier in comparison. Economically, you could think of the cost of being on an AV at all or not as a sunk cost: something that once is done you cannot recover anymore (bum!), but at least the cost doesn’t reappear and grows over time (yay!). For subsequent films, you could think of STD risk and the danger of being found out as the major costs of doing an AV, while in comparison the AV genre would be an extra cost not as high in comparison. In other words: yours parents are not going to care that much that you did 10 AV instead of one, and your daytime job employer is not going to care that much that you did only vanilla instead of SM productions. As for STD risk, things like the number or partners, whether protection is used or not, or if STD tests are required by the filming company might be more important for an actress to asses how risky an AV production is, instead of whether she will be tied with a rope or not when having sex.

Economic theory only takes you so far, though. I don’t like to overuse it. I think the emotional aspect is much more important, but it’s hard getting testimonies of how doing an AV for the first time changes you. I presume it can be sexually liberating and an actress could get more open minded about trying different things on camera. But I can also imagine the opposite, an AV actresses that was comfortable as an escort, but for whom some AV content is above her threshold. It is also not exactly the same thing trying a lot of different things with a partner you trust and care for, and trying them on camera with a stranger. But I agree with @User#8628, some content if not liberating, at least is not the huge deal that people would think it is. The major emotional obstacle is doing AV for the first time.

Something that has ruined AV for me is that I always imagine these guys on the actress’ head:

I used to sort of feel the same way about the moans, but you get used to it quickly.
And most girls in JAV actually sound sincere, not the "Oh god, oh fuck oh GOOOOD!" shit that's in American porn, that's way more a turn off.

True! Almost forgot about that haha. But they are both a turn off tbh when I think about it. For Japanese it's the crying and almost dying moans and in America the over the top 'it feels sooooo good' type of moans. Not a thing I enjoy. But I think that porn who are more dedicated to females are far better. No extreme moaning but more natural.
