Around two thirds of retired AV models end up in the sex industry, working in hostess bars or even working as prostitutes in ‘soap-land’ bath houses.” “They have worked in an often lucrative business, some for many years, so to go back to a standard job for a much smaller salary is not easy. “A lot of girls find themselves unable to return to regular jobs after working as an AV model,” explains Nakamura. After all, few people actively working in the porn industry are seen out shopping with their kids or taking part in PTA meetings without those around them raising a few eyebrows.īut it is here that many retired AV models hit a wall, says Nakamura, describing what he calls the “AV-no” (literally Adult Video brain”) the “AV Mindset” that many girls find themselves unable to shake off. In many cases, girls do a short spell making XXX videos, and then, perhaps having earned enough to support themselves financially, or simply deciding that they have had enough, choose to leave and pursue a more orthodox lifestyle. “With the huge number of girls working in the industry, cases of AV actresses being recognised while going about their daily lives are quite rare,” says Nakamura, adding “there are plenty of cases of former AV girls who are now happily married and enjoying normal lives.” But surely the risk of being seen on a video would be enough to dissuade any self-respecting young woman from doing such a thing? The Japanese AV industry reportedly sees an astounding 6,000 newcomers each year. “Some do it entirely for the money, while others are just comfortable with the idea of having sex in front of people and see it as any easy job. “Many girls enter the AV industry each year, but not necessarily all for the same reasons,” Nakamura comments. In an interview with Atsuhiko Nakamura, author of books such as “The Nameless Women” and interviewer of literally hundreds of AV actresses, Shuplay News uncovered some startling facts about the sex industry in Japan, in particular the life of the women who become involved in making adult movies. And with that growth comes an increasing number of young women who aspire to work in the industry.īut with so many girls taking a shot at being AV stars and entering into this seemingly glamorous but equally shady profession, how do they go about their daily lives unnoticed? And what becomes of AV stars who leave the industry? The Japanese AV (adult video) industry, whose revenue comprised more than 20% of worldwide sales according to a 2006 survey, continues to grow every year.
