Just like any lustful person, I resorted to porn once I lived outside of the family home. The first porn star whose video woke my inner self was Kascha, a HAPA porn star who had blonde hair before it was fashionable to do so. I enjoyed the Western porn, but after a while, I wanted to see Asian pornstars. The classic performers in the 1990's were Anisa, and Kitty Yung. I preferred these two because of their striking beauty and zeal for the sexual act.
I first brushed up against Japanese AV movies in Japantown in San Francisco. Just for the heck of it, I went into the back of the store and lo and behold, I was dazzled by VHS upon VHS of porn. I was in porn heaven.
Japanese AV porn is quite different from American porn. First, there is a block in the genitals. It is illegal in Japan to depict the vagina and the penis. The practice dates back to the Meiji era. Refer to
Wikipedia for more details. The presence of the block originally frustrated me. However, as it turned out, who cares about the block when you are watching a very beautiful woman being ravished? Besides, I personally don't enjoy seeing the penis of anyone else.
Another obvious difference is that there is no subtitles. Remember, the target audience is Japanese. There is something romantic about watching foreign movies. In essence, you can make up the words that the actors are saying. Although sometimes, I wonder about the dialog since some of the situations that result in sex are just plain amazing.
My education in the many aspects of sex stems from videos and porn. And what joy it is to learn from Japanese porn! First of all, I realized that not all women react the same way to the sexual act. Some are quiet with occasional whimpers. Others are squealers (I have a preference to those). Others are whimperers. Then there are those who sigh with the satisfaction of a good lay. The wide variety and the great diversity is a true to pleasure to behold. God Bless Evolution!
As for the variety of Japanese AV porn, well, someone can write a thesis on that. I have seen depictions of rape, bondage, and golden showers. I stopped when it came to human excrement. I mean, I'm an adventurous guy. I just don't like playing with pooh. But in truth, there are some wild and strange things out there in internet land.
