As many as 1 in 500 Japanese women have appeared in pornographic movies, it is claimed.
The claim, originally published in a Japanese magazine, is based on the observation that Japan publishes well over 10,000 adult videos annually, from which is derived a population of 100,000 or more women who have at one time performed. Some 9% of these are also thought to be casual rather than professional performers.
The former editor of a gravure rag, with experience of photographing over 400 women, is quoted in support of all this – “I get the impression women really like being photographed nude [...] on the surface they may be embarrassed but I never saw one who didn’t like it.”
Accounts from actual performers are more mixed.
Korean media covering the story reports hopeful Koreans commenting that “Japanese culture is really messed up” and “if you ask 100 Japanese women for sex, 1 is bound to agree.” Of course, Koreans are in no position to criticise their neighbours, and in any case it appears a lot more than 1 would agree if asked nicely enough.
Since the group of women appearing in such films changes each year (especially with the maximum career length of a porn star being quite short), the “1 in 500″ figure might actually understate matters significantly.
Add to this the widespread suspicion that a large number of Japanese women either work as prostitutes or engage in informal “enjo kousai” prostitution relationships in school, college or otherwise, and it would appear the doubts about the moral character of Japanese women often voiced in neighbouring countries (to say nothing of in Japan) are not entirely without merit.

...*fap fap fap*
1/500 * 100% = 0.2% it is much larger than the effort obtaining a monster Card in Ragnarok [ i.e : 0.01% ] ( 200x )
Well, yeah. When you put it to % it doesn't sound so impossible anymore.
I just get the feeling that the asian culture is very sexually active. I mean China has an insane population problem and so does many south-asian nations like the Phillipines, and Japan has an almost glorified outlook of adult modeling and nude modeling and Korea is EASILY the biggest consumer of porn in the world.
Crazy I tell you. lol
I completely forgot about how desperate they are to get pregnant and have the next generation these days, so I wouldn't be surprised if all of this was some extensions of the Japanese collective unconscious nearly demanding of its culture that sex be inserted back into its lifestyle... no pun intended.
Reality does work that way, humans are instinctual just like all the rest of the animals, it just shows up in different societal ways considering our higher consciousness. I'm curious about how we'll evolve as a culture in the coming years in relation to the FACT that teenagers are sexual beings and in many cases MUST have sex as a right of passage.
In the past it was exploitation by older people (much less than people believe), now its a projection of their increasing maturity at a pace unseen before, with or without growth hormone.
Either way, I'd very much love to stop hearing the hypocrisy in people denouncing guys for finding teenage bodies attractive... they're designed to be attractive. Literally. Nature did it for breeding purposes, don't blame us because they have perfectly hemispherical asses.
haha *sniff sniff* *fap fap*
the more you know~
Yeah, now survey the population with age group please!!
...
...
...
"99% of 18-30 year old women have been appeared in porn." - Is my surmise.
Knowing is half the battle ;)
Joke would be funny if Japanese were actually having kids still.
Too much porn, too little kids.
I think Japan has found the cause of their birthrate problems.
porn and kids? why cant we have both? i know, lets make loli pron!
you go do that.
my body is ready :3
Watch some of SOD or Karma's movies though.
A lot of the "amateur series" are the same girls and make their "porn living" being "uncredited amateurs" or just appearing as an extra.
But Japan has a lot of AV stars that do like 1-4 movies then quit. Really runs up the # with the actress count also.
LOLFACE.jpg
Eric Cartman (with shocked look at his computer screen): "Sooo.... Mom.... if you ever appeared in a German scheisse film... you'd tell me about it, wouldn't you?"
Eric's Mom (lying through her teeth): "Of course, sweetie."
Goodness that is a lot!
Too many people appear in porn....
“if you ask 100 Japanese women for sex, 1 is bound to agree.” it would suck if the one that said yes was the 100th one.
And people wonder why "cuteness" and "innocence" are such major themes in anime, manga, video games, idols, etc. etc.
It could be said Japanese woman are almost directly responsible for the rise of moe itself.
There can never be too much porn
499 to go I guess.
No Nadeshiko ladies in Japan anymore?
My favourite unwholesome videos are from Japan; please keep it coming.
@17:45Anon
There's something for everyone. EVERYONE.
no, not enough people appear in porn
i beg to differ.
there can be to much porn
only people who haven't seen so much that its all boring, or haven't gone on a 2 - 3 day all you do is watch porn bender can say otherwise.
True....
Yeah, you and everyone else who bought the same game.
somehow, this supposed statistics failed to surprise me.
There can never be enough high-quality porn, but there already IS too much trash in the way of the real gems. Either the directors suck or normal porn-viewers have awesomely dull interests.

Wrong. How do you supposedly 'deflower' a 2D-girl? It can only happen in-game, and even then only if the viewer chooses to recreate and realize that condition in their own mind.
For instance, if they choose to believe that 'Panty is a virgin', then that's the truth. Unless our minds are physically connected and we're able to 'transfer' and 'transrealize' products of imagination... however that would work.
Dang it...with the Yen so strong its been tough to plan that trip to Japan...now I have to read this...*sigh*
Japan Women is no longer the same..
Just dun show me Granny Porn..
Another reason 2D>3D
None of my eroge girls ever whored out to anyone but me.

Why the hell do I keep getting a logout...
FUCK, we gotta bring that up to 1 in 100. Then the world will be a better place... cumming.
kid #1: I do you mom.
kid #2: So did I.
kid #3: I do both of your mom.
I'd be curious if they're also considering idol, pink, and gravure videos as they are technically "adult videos". That might be what is inflating the numbers.
nah, if they considered so the rate would be 478 out of 500
riiiiiight.... that means only 22 out of 500 are fatties, grannies, and ugly faces huh?
You forget that people have fucked up tastes, lol. It's hard to trust any surveys about anything nowadays.
When you guys comment about grannies, do remember that this is "have appeared" in porn. Don't count them out just because they're old NOW, after all, they used to be young too. Point is, there could also be porn featuring them from some number of decades ago.
Well it would be TOTAL bullshit to think 1/500 Japanese women were in porn every year.
I guess you haven't been in the same Japanese adult video stores as me.
It is difficult to imagine _WHAT_ those 22 of the 500 people would be, but I'm sure if you make a video a new fetish will be awakened.
korean guy:“Japanese culture is really messed up”
So,about those loli furries in Tera online...
"loli furries" hmmmm...
*fap* *fap* *fap* *fap* *fap* *fap* *fap*
"Under 15 idols" Rings any bells? I think I've read somewhere on sankaku that the youngest idol is only 6 years old.
Yeah... some chars in a videogame are much worse than the stuff japanese make.
compared to japan's unaccountable number of hentai games/dojinshi/anime/av's?
At least Japan isn't really in self denial.. and throwing rocks in their glass house.
Japan, Greatest nation on earth!
OBJECTION!
This research ain't good.... Absolutely not good...
Why..? WHY!?
True, I need to personally verify this data. A hands on approach seems necessary!
Indeed!
This just can't be true sir! Perhaps you need some back-up!
get rejected by a girl... only to get laid by her best friend.
GUARANTEED IN JAPAN!!!!
Damn.
Meek and chaste.
i love all these japanophiles who believe that the greatest way to justify their love for japan is to attack china or korea to try divert attention away from japan. sad, i tell you.
Wow... that's a bunchload of whores. But, I have to admit, Japan's one of the best nations on earth to live in if you're white.
Am white, and i don't see how it can be the best nation on earth if your white, since a lot of people ignore you when you ask for directions.
That is what I see in most of the US places like California and Texas are definitely the exception though.
PS most of the fugly Asian women end up with the dorky looking white dudes based on my personal experiences.
I REALLY would like to see a Japanese survey on that subject.
"Japan's one of the best nations on earth to live in if you're Japanese."
Fixed that for you.
No need for thanks.
"Japan's one of the best nations on earth to live in if you're respectful and properly speak the language."
Revised.
"Japan's one of the best nations on earth to live in if you can get used to bending over and take everything from your superiors, even if they're wrong or negatively out of professional bounds."
Version 2.5 modded by a witness who worked there.
So wait... the comment with "if you're white" does not get downveted but its reply does?
So its ok for most people here if the Japanese only accepted whites?
Wow...
Actually my point was that Japanese girls practically throw themselves at white guys. Same with the Chinese, Thai and Korean girls.
Because WHITE MAN RICH!!!
The truth is that they move there because they didn't find money at home. Tadaa!
I need to visit Japan more than ever now.
A lot of South Korean prostitutes and the pornographic actress are in Japan.
" 1 in 500 Japanese women have appeared in pornographic movies " -that's a bitchy situation
I seriously want 2 see a documentary done about the AV industry and what the major Japanese women population thinks of it?
The documentary will be edited so as to support the political/social agenda of the producers and you'll never get honest answers from the women.
I don't know if their figure is really that accurate it's just an estimate.
10,000AV are produced every year, but a most of those AV actresses appear in more than 1 film. With a population of 127 million, and slightly more than half of those female, (we'll say 65million women) so the 1 in 500 figure assumes that there are 130,000 Japanese women who have ever done porn... eh, doesn't seem that exciting.
yeah, but add to these numbers the high amount of girls that prostitute themselves just so they could buy some brand items
Yeah, though I kinda wanna say that America may well have a higher ratio, especially if amateur porn counts, even if I am just basing this on how much porn comes from America (that is to say more than any ten other countries put together)
It really helps that "American" porn can include girls from anywhere in the world - so there is a large population to draw from.
Japanese porn features Japanese women almost exclusively. So, the ratio really may be higher in Japan, even though the absolute numbers are definitely higher in the U.S.
More in absolute numbers? Perhaps. More in percentage is patently absurd.
America has 160 Million women (many are middle age or older) And I somehow doubt there's that much porn (yet).
In 20 years? Hard to say.
Oh, make no doubt that I considered the population size differences, but based on data for internet porn as of 2006 (the latest year I have data for, though following a quite consistent trend), America produces 89% of all internet porn (by number of web pages), and averages to about 0.8 porn pages per man, woman, and child in the country, and I think that from this kind of data (note, more porn pages than women in the country by a factor of roughly 1.5), it is not unreasonable that there is a higher ratio here. That or our porn stars (professional and amateur) are SIGNIFICANTLY more prolific than Japanese porn stars.
It's an implied correlation based mostly on the facts that last I checked a) amateur porn in particular is easy to make and b) the difference in the number of web pages is ~244,000,000 (USA) to ~2,700,000 (Japan) and that I already mentioned the possibility of different degrees of prolificness, though that is unlikely to be the only factor given the difference in amounts.
That is a reasonable consideration there, but doesn't point A conceivably apply to foreign webpages as well?
As for point B, that may be so, but can that be verified? Because I'm pretty sure we still have substantial "traditional" porn production (and still rising) here.
If it means anything (and if you have comparable stats for Japan), the USA released 13,588 hardcore pornography videos in 2005.
Number of web pages is a very bad measure of the amount of porn produced, especially since
a) A lot of those web page have no actual content and just use hyperlinked pornographic images to send people on wild goose chases and get them to download viruses and,
b) The Japanese porn industry is a little more old-fashioned and still focuses heavily on feature-length films and DVDs as opposed to pay-sites, which have come to dominate the American industry over the last few years.
Porn is Seriouz buzinez in US
You obviously need to think about it more, don't you?
You don't see the flaw in "More pornographic internet pages = more porn actresses"?
*Facepalm*
Granny Porn..?
Would porn from the past factor into that number?
Probably, but it'd still be the recent past (since ~1991 I believe for all countries)
"Korean media covering the story reports hopeful Koreans commenting that “Japanese culture is really messed up” and “if you ask 100 Japanese women for sex, 1 is bound to agree.”"
Oh Rilly? With those odds I could probably mack some shit in Vatican City.
Seriously, just about any country you'd find those odds.
I'm Korean.
my country's troll is so crap.
actually, Korea 'exports' whores.
it's true.
Korean whores 'in Japan' are 50,000~...

That's fucked up. Those numbers can't be right.
It's a questionable statistic. No information is given about how they came to their conclusion that 10,000 porn films per year = 100,000 women have appeared in porn. For all we know, the person coming to the conclusion might have no knowledge of statistics and might have been making questionable assumptions.
I'd say that whoever published the statistic was attention-whoring.
My ex has appeared in porn.
I don't think she knows yet.
I like those odds!
I really find it hard to believe 1 out of 500 are or have been in porn. I think someone did their math wrong. Maybe they search bars for the girls. Alot of clubs and bars in Japan.
Well done Japan! Now topple that goddamn censorship law!!!!
It's whats stopping the whore-ism from spreading any further in the population. So they probably wouldn't. For now.
Oh really?
Reality moment for ya all.
Women like sex as much as guys.
Really, it's true.
And it's not just Japan.
Here in my home town, being a female virgin is fucking weird.
In my home province of Quebec, if you can't get laid, might as well kill yourself.
In Newfoundland, odds are the women won't wait for you to ask.
Do the Newfie babes drug you with screech before having their way with you? Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I have to admit I found Japanese women to be pretty bipolar on sex. They can be pretty hard to get into bed but after that it's all enthusiasm.
There's a difference between liking sex and wanting to have sex. The average male wants to have sex more often than the average female; it's just a part of the male's biological drive.
That's pretty hot. But what about STDs?
