Japanese male porn stars rarer than Bengal Tigers: actor

[Ulysses G.]

That is not all that is pixelated, unfortunately.

A few work permits issued to foreigners should resolve this problem.

Although the 70 who currently work may feel 'overshadowed'!

Knew a cute freelancer back in the old days when I was living in Phuket. Think it was 1997. Banana was the place to be if you were going for the "posh" ones back then...

Suddenly, from one day onwards, she wouldn't go with any of us white guys anymore. When I asked her why, she said that from now on she only accepts Japanese "clientele".

Her answer to my question "Why Japanese?" was "333"... "Uuuuhhh, now it's getting mystical!" I thought - nodding, but not truly understanding...

Thus I eventually asked her what 333 stands for, and she replied: 3 centimeters, 3 minutes, 3.000 Baht !

It's a true story

And it is a common term used to this day. Though most Farang do not know it. Fortunately (or unfortunately?) my best friend of 5-6 years has worked in that industry for some time so I have understood a thing or two. It is very unfortunate for me, because when I go to see her at work I have to remind myself that I have a GF at home while watching sometimes flawless ladies.. the joys of growing up haha.

Time to move to Japan, make a career out of it, that way my other half will accept my career or sleep on the streets of Tokyo!

Don't know about the films, but I was once asked by a guy sitting next to me on a bus if I knew any good looking western guys who might like to go to Osaka and work as "waiters" in coffee shops frequented only by single Japanese women. Usually bored, frustrated housewives. There was very good money to be made, I was assured. The guy made no bones about the fact that the blokes would be working as gigolos. He must have been desperate to recruit as he even asked if I wanted to go.

(That was 25 years ago, and is the first and only time I have ever heard of this Osaka-gigolo thing. Anyone else?

Actually most of these "waiters" are host boys and does exactly what the descriptions says- to host, wait, and chit chat with the lonely female ladies, nothing more. Although there are a small percentage that sleeps with their clients, its actually very small. Popular host boys makes tens and thousands of dollars per month and get showered with gifts for just accompanying these ladies at the host bar.

I suppose Japanese males fall short of the basic requirements...

Cold, very cold indeed. Really now, other than some Japanese patrons, who wants to watch a porno flick where the predominant feeling you have is sorrow for the male lead? Not particularly arousing. Especially when he is with a gorgeous Japanese porn star. My feeling is she deserves "more" than that. I understand I am generalizing, but nearly all of my Thai "friends" tell me that the stereotype is mostly true.

"with just a handful of them doing all the heavy lifting." absolutely no pun intended!

The Japanese cherry blossom trees that line the large reflecting pool at the Jefferson Memorial in Washington DC make for what everyone agrees in a romantic night time setting. It's where the Argentine Firecracker Fanny Fox jumped from a happily married Congressman's moving car for a big splash. The Democratic party Congressman was chairman of the tax writing committee so it was no surprise when next election the voters back home deducted him.

A Republican Congressman used to drive up to the New York Avenue gay prostitute block between 8th and 9th streets to have his liaisons, but he drove up in his own car with the standard congressional license plates issued to congressmen by each state. The boyz chatted it up and the chirping soon made its way into the local police precinct. The cops busted into a cheap hotel room there to find the congressman in the position in front of a 16 year old boy.

Cherry blossom rules numbers one and two in Washington - never get caught with a dead woman or a live boy.

I am not sure what this has to do with the topic, Publicus, but it sure is interesting and I think I will heed that advice!

I recall a post on TV where someone claimed the bar girls in BKK call the Japanese men Sam Sam Sam

3" 3 minutes and 3000 Baht. Given the 1st two stats, that may explain the rarity.

Man those guys have a hard job!
