Porn for the Elderly?
July 28th 2008 11:44
I know, I know. I created this blog to share something light or something to brighten a gloomy day. I also know the title alone makes you umm look, and think about the content of this post, but hey, hear me out.
I chanced upon this on CNN and saw it again on TIME.
It actually is kind of hilarious and at the same time, weird. Apparently there's this production company in Japan who regularly makes porn - the umm, regular kind. For some reason they started using "actors" in their 30's and it still worked fine, then they slid some actors in their 40's and they noticed more sales, so they tried again an older age group and for some reason it still sells!
The oldest and most famous "actor" or star they have is this Shigeo Tokuda guy - he's 73!. A retiree who decided to be more adventurous (LOL!) at this age
Well, it turned out pretty good for him anyway!
Don't get me wrong but I've always seen the Japanese as very attuned to their sexuality, even at a very old age. Their anime's and comic books alone have so much sexuality in them, even their movies. What I didn't see coming was porn FOR and BY the elderly!
Even the production company has no idea what it sells, all they can think of is that well, it gives the elderly the "drive" or a sense that not because they're old means they gotta sit there and wait for their time.
Oh well, I do hope only the elderly watch these... It would be extremely weird if someone my age (in my 20's) or maybe even my parents' age (50's) to be watching this... it's like watching your grandparents or parents at it!!
Hahah!
I really did just want to share this for a little ... well, entertainment!

It just goes to show that the expression "Sex Sells" certainly does apply to just about all ages. The scaried side of this story is that it might open up the career possibilities for someone like say Ron Jeremy to be making movies into his eighties. He was scary looking 10 years ago, nevermind 20 or 30 years from today.
