-Groove Armada,"I See You Baby"
Believe it or not,that is the face of a porn star.74yrs old,350 films and still going strong.
Shigeo Tokuda is, in fact, his screen name. He prefers not to disclose his real name because, he insists, his wife and daughter have no idea that he has appeared in about 350 films over the past 14 years. And in his double life, Tokuda arguably embodies the contemporary state of Japan's sexuality: in surveys conducted by organizations ranging from the World Health Organization (WHO) to the condom-maker Durex, Japan is repeatedly found to be one of the most sexless societies in the industrialized world.*Giggle*Wait,it get's better.
A WHO report released in March found that 1 in 4 married couples in Japan had not made love in the previous year, while 38% of couples in their 50s no longer have sex at all. Those figures were attributed to the stresses of Japanese working life.Huh?In a country with a life expectancy of 81yrs?STRESS?
Yet at the same time, the country has seen a surge in demand for pornography that has turned adult videos into a billion-dollar industry, with "elder porn" one of its fastest-growing genres.So we have an aging population,falling sexual intercourse rates,shrinking population,and growing porn industry.Something does not compute.
