For a man carrying a nation’s libido on his shoulders, Japanese “porn king Shimiken” looks as fresh as a daisy. The 35-year-old cult hero, described by one director as the Cristiano Ronaldo of sex and famed for his Herculean powers between the sheets, grins as he tells AFP, “It’s a hard job, but somebody’s got to do it.”
Shimiken – real name Ken Shimizu – has slept with more than 8,000 women for his 7,500 movies, and recently caused a stir by begging for reinforcements, tweeting that there were more Bengali tigers alive than male porn actors in Japan. “There are about 70 male actors to 10,000 women,” he said.
He may have to, if the decline in male actors continues. Many industry insiders blame the conundrum on a growing social trend known as herbivore men: Those who shun sex and traditional masculine values in favour of a quiet, uncompetitive lifestyle. “Mentally, men have become weaker,” said actress Yuko Shiraki. “They’re less macho, less proactive about sex.”
Celebrated director Tohjiro agrees Japanese men are going soft. “I’ve been in this business for 27 years and you can see the increase in herbivore males,” he said. “Men aren’t hungry anymore. They’ve lost their desire. Everything’s on a plate for them. It wasn’t like that for my generation. If we got a banana or a pineapple, we went crazy with joy. These days, men don’t get excited by anything. The same applies to sex and attitude towards women and relationships. They just click on the internet for it.”
