It’s not easy being a Japanese male porn start.
They are literally just a handful of bonefide stars (and thousands of anonymous performers) in an industry dominated by the girls. To make ends meet they might perform in up to six films a week!
With men so dispensable, it’s time to stop screwing around, as they say.
On April 1st, the Japan Porn Actors Association (JPAA) will come into existence. But this is no April’s Fool Day stunt.
Inspired by the problems with HIV and STDs that paralyzed the American porn industry last year, the JPAA has been created by veteran actor Genji Moribayashi to raise awareness of better standards. This includes campaigning for improved STD testing.
The JPAA will also become a place for fans to inquire about performers or aspiring actors to ask questions. Moribayashi anticipates that it could work with condom makers to test new products, as well as help with the development of other health products.
