More Japanese porn stars becoming prostitutes

The ongoing recession continues to take it’s toll. But while it’s causing serious problems for millions, it is also making the sexual dreams possible for some who still have enough money to enjoy. Or at least that is one explanation for the sudden increase in Japanese porn stars engaging in prostitution.

Earlier, I reported that Japan’s sex industry was poised to offer more action at lower rates. It turns out the report was right on the money. Recently, the adult-oriented news in Japan has published stories about a 29-year-old high school teacher getting busted for turning tricks, the closure of many high end sex-selling shops, and a huge decline in sales of prostitution-oriented publications like the popular Manzoku.

Now comes news of an increasing number of high end Japanese AV stars, including the world-famous Maria Ozawa, making themselves available by entering the massive prostitution scene in Tokyo.

Is Maria Ozawa escorting?

I actually came across a profile for Maria Ozawa at a top hostess club in Japan a while back. It was quite clear that she was a special star there. You’d have to be Japanese and have plenty of cash to even have a chance at sitting with her.  That’s if it was even legit. Reports as far back as 2009 say she had appeared on the websites of some similar clubs. But it was never really made clear whether or not this was just done for publicity, or an actual opportunity to get with Maria-chan.

Maria Ozawa is now something of a mainstream star in countries like the Philippines and Indonesia. So is the half-Canadian beauty really available at Tokyo’s Club Tora no Ana at a rate of 150,000 Yen ($1500 USD) for 70 minutes? I can’t get a clear answer on that. Yet one thing is for sure. Many other AV actresses are making their sexual services available to the general public.

Rola Takizawa and other AV prostitutes

Back in February, I wrote that the famous Japanese porn starlet Rola Takizawa started working as a prostitute. She has since been joined by a host of others.

According to Weekly Playboy, a popular men’s magazine in Japan, a number of AV actresses are working at deri heru shops. Deri Heru, or “delivery health” agencies, are basically businesses that send an escort to meet you at your home or in a love hotel. They’re sort of like Japanese escort agencies.

The publication says standard AV women charge for 30,000 – 50,000 Yen a session, while the well known stars can command as much as 90,000 – 200,000. This would lend credence to the claims of Maria Ozawa working for 150,000 Yen per session. But it doesn’t prove anything.

Retired AV star Nayuka Mine explained the situation to Weekly Playboy.  “It is pretty mainstream for not-so-famous AV girls to be employed in the fuzoku trade,” she said.  “However, it is rare for someone of this level to make a deri heru debut.”

The busty AV star Hiyori Shiraishi is among those high-profile porn actresses said to be engaged in the trade now. But don’t get your hopes up on sticking your dick in either her or Rola. Unless you’re Japanese, you don’t have much of a chance even if you are sitting on stacks of money.

Japanese only

Much of the massive sex trade in Japan is already off limits for foreign visitors, especially if they don’t speak the local language. In cases of stars like Nayuka Mine, a lot of normal Japanese guys are excluded too. Even if they have the high amount of money needed, Japanese punters can’t simply roll in with a condom rolled on and get ready to rock.

As a knowledgeable adult writer in Japan writes:

“In order to reserve a popular actress there are steps involved. First, you have to be a regular. If the shop accepts a customer unfamiliar with appropriate behavior they will receive a claim from the actress’ agency or film production company. A minimum of ten visits with other girls is going to be necessary.”

If you have the chance to carry through with the necessary steps though, the effort will probably be worth it. According the editor of one adult publication, “The girls are very professional. Their methods aren’t ordinary; the girls take the appropriate time and have great pride in their work. They are true pros.”

Why are these top level stars making themselves available at all? It’s simple, says an AV industry insider.  “They either want extra cash or really like sex. With the recession, the money AV gals receive is on the decline. Until a couple of years ago, film appearance fees ranged between 3 and 4 million yen. Now it is around 2 or 3 million yen. At a deri heru club you can take in 400,000 yen a day — pretty good for side work.”

Just because you don’t have the time, money or language skills to hire a Japanese AV star for sex doesn’t mean you can’t get any sexual pleasure at all though. For just a little money you can buy a professionally made clone of Maria Ozawa’s pussy and have sex with it as much as you’d like. There’s even a lubricant modeled on Miss Ozawa’s natural juices available.

There are also a lot more foreign friendly shops and providers than their used to be. There may even be some Av stars in the mix. As explained above, it’s not uncommon for them to do fuzoku work on the side.
