What’s it like to be a Japanese porn star?

I have here the translated results of an impromptu question and answer session with an anonymous former Japanese porn starlet carried out by the rambunctious users of 2Chan in Japan. In all likelihood, this will be one of the last interviews with sex workers I post for a while. I hope you will enjoy it.

Can you give us your name, age, hometown and a pic of your face?

If I give you that, my life, already over at the best of times, will be even more over. Give me a break?

How did your friends react?

Variously. Some people didn’t care and went on being my friend, but others were busy spreading rumors. One guy had all my DVDs. I was a rather perturbed by that.

Prove you’re not a fake and upload a pic of your legs.

After retiring I spent years as a hikikomori NEET, so I look pretty different. So my legs are now just “pizza”.

By the way, I was 18 to 19 when I was performing.

Did it feel good?

That really depends on the actor. Sometimes you cum normally, other times you need to act it up.

The notion that “porn actors equal good” is nothing more than fiction. I think the old guys on set are more skilled.

Also, women who are having a good time really don’t start squealing “an an” like in an AV.

How much did you get paid?

I was getting about ¥500,000 ($5000 USD) per AV. However, it changes a bit depending on the content. A shoot for a magazine would be a few tens of thousands of Yen. Some people appearing in the films were actually intent on building connections. For an unsocial type like me it was really a living hell.

You were in it for the money?

Of course that was a big part, but at the time I was interested in the trade. I love the sensual world. Like an oiran from the Edo period.

Why did you give it up? What are you doing now?

Simply put, the agency wanted me to do more self-promotion and it soon became unpleasant for me because of that. I wasn’t yet 20, so I quit on the basis that “adults are really scary”.

At the moment I am employed in guarding my dwelling.

What did your parents think?

Oh, there’s no way they’d know. Maybe they suspected it, but they have never said anything.

So you’re a hikikomori NEET. But what about other jobs back then? Wouldn’t the wages seem pathetically low?

When I was doing the AVs I was also working part time at a shop at night, so I don’t think it matters.

People’s sense of money varies from person to person. If it was a job with easy interpersonal relations even 600 an hour would be fine, I think. But that’s just what I think.

You don’t seem to regret working in the world of AV. So as a security guard for your own residence are you still surviving on what you made then?

I do regret it. At one point I regretted it so much I became a wreck. But no matter how much you regret something it doesn’t change the present. Maybe now I feel half regret, half a sense that it was the right thing to so. Maybe that’s just me rationalizing it, or maybe I do feel that way, I don’t know.

Was there a film you made which you have particular confidence in?

There is one I have real confidence in. Even I was like “Who is this, she’s so kawaii“! The makeup and lighting were fantastic.

Did you tell your friends you were doing it? The guy with the DVDs, did he notice from watching them?

I was on all these magazines so I guess they saw it there. I was a slut from the start so people probably weren’t exactly shocked. It was more like “if it’s her it’s no surprise she’s doing it”.

Why are you working as a home security guard? Aren’t there things you’d like to do?

The reason I’m guarding is because human relationships are a real problem for me. Now I study a bit in my masses of spare time, even though I never studied at university.

There’s not really anything I’d like to do. I’m more hoping for the world to end quickly.

Sorry about this one. You know the electro-massager AV stuff around? Is that really pleasurable? Isn’t it too intense and just painful?

No, it’s fine, I like this kind of gross dirty stuff. It depends on the person. Some hate them, some love them.

I’m the latter group. I bought one and it’s pretty amazing, I come in 0.5 seconds just touching it to myself.

Did you ever eat excrement or have sex with animals?

I have never done either. I tried hard to become a hentai of that level but in the end it was no good.

I feel guilty receiving fellatio if I don’t return the favor with cunnilingus.

I think any girl would be happy about that. It’s proof you’re thinking of the woman, isn’t it? If you don’t like it you’d better try hard to please with your cock.

Do big penises feel better? Are they all the same after a certain size and hardness? I’m losing pretty badly to those actors in this respect.

Big sizes do feel better than mini-sizes, for sure.

But this varies from person to person. Some even like them long and narrow, others short and stout.

Also there is the matter of physical compatibility, where the size just doesn’t matter. Like a key fitting in a keyhole.

And more important than that is hardness. Hardness really matters.

Can you tell if an actress is faking it in a porn movie? Any tricks which help?

If they’re going at it saying “an an” all the time you can bet they are acting only. Nasal heavy breathing is another sign. Anything nasal really.

Frankly put, eighty percent of it is purely fake.

How old are you now?

I’m eternally seventeen. It’s too embarrassing to say otherwise.

When was your first time?

I was thirteen, in the winter. The guy was nine years older. Now that I think of it, he was a lolicon wasn’t he?

How did you end up with him?

We were drinking with friends and he hit on me, and we got to know each other much better. I was a slut from the start.
