Jun 19 2008Japan Sees Significant Increase In The Popularity Of Adult Geriatric Films
Apparently business is booming for makers of geriatric boom-boom movies in Japan. Demand for such titles as "Grandparents Getting Down" and "Never Too Old To Bone" has nearly doubled in the past decade. TIME has a whole long article about it, but I thought I'd just include my favorite part, since it's quite possibly the awesomest thing I've ever read, ever.
Besides his glowing complexion, Shigeo Tokuda looks like any other 74-year-old man in Japan. Despite suffering a heart attack three years ago, the lifelong salaryman now feels healthier, and lives happily with his wife and a daughter in downtown Tokyo. He is, of course, more physically active than most retirees, but that's because he's kept his part-time job -- as a porn star.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.
Dude, you've got your face plastered all over porno boxes (that's him in the picture). How the hell could they not know? The article even says your character has become his own brand. Surely someone has told them. I mean, you're a very distinguished gentleman, and that pipe is a dead give-away. Seriously though, you're my new hero. I wish my wife and family didn't know what I do for a living. They're embarrassed as hell.

@3, who says old Shigeo Tokuda is doin it with 70 yr old's? He may be bedding down 60 yr old's.

I have notcied that as I have aged that my definition of attractive has changed as well. Women who I would not have thought as attractive before because of their age are now looking pretty good!
However, I really hope that I don't live long enough that I get to the point that I would look at that photo and fantasize about being nude in that hot tub with that woman!

Old people porn is popular because there are a lot of old people in Japan. I think they have the highest life expectancy and the largest proportion of old folk.
On that note: Ew.

I have to get me a copy of that. I hope that they use a big tub of crisco and mayonnaise as lube to accentuate the sounds . . . yummy.

Those bukkake scenes have got to be good for that wrinkled complexion, surely?

These old people were probably tricked into signing a contract that they THOUGHT would give them a special large-button cell phone... sorry, you're gunna have to do the wild thing for 15-20 minutes.

@11 The Imaginary Reviewer: And just what exactly makes you think the old man still cums like the Niagara? Or even in white? He probably does a spurt of old yellow window sealant then collapses from "overwork". She doesn't wipe it off with a wet wipe, she uses the edge of a trowel to peel it off.

The geriatric porn script is is giant type. And they substitute all L's for R's and vice versa so don't expect the dialog to be much. "MO INTENSITY!"

japan: what the fuck is wrong with you.
20. NekoNeko - June 22, 2008 4:27 AM
Dad... if you were in a bukkake video... you'd tell me, right?
(Dad) Sure thing, sweetie.
Great, because I just read this article put out by several sources that have your picture on it.

DUDE. I'm reading this at work.
IN JAPAN.
Good thing I have I337 scrolling skills and managed to get that cover away from the eyes of the lady working next to me. What would she have thought if she'd seen it? Bloody hell.
