misspornUSA Senior Member I ♥ the male gaze (and Palestine). 8737 Posts 11/13	Posted - Sep 8 2016 : 12:23PM I've spent a lot of time in Japan (including this year) but this never came up and I've been wondering for awhile. Are JAV pornstars celebrities in Japan? Are they outcasts? Is their work socially regarded as just another job? Are they able to get roles in mainstream films? [Link]

misspornUSA Senior Member I ♥ the male gaze (and Palestine). 8737 Posts 11/13	Posted - Sep 8 2016 : 1:03PM From the GQ article: While the physical requirements are certainly a barrier to entry for most men, Shimiken points out that because the ranks are thin, they stay thin-despite the obvious benefits. "Men say the pool is just too small to risk entering," he explains. "Anyone who tries it will be immediately recognizable and could rule out ever having a normal life." Though a few AV stars (mostly female) have transitioned to success as TV presenters or talking-head personalities, "Shimiken's concerns do point to very real issues regarding social stigma in Japan," says Kumiko Endo, an adjunct professor of religion at Hofstra University. "There are definite roadblocks for former AV actors who want to transition into the mainstream." Yujiro Enoki, the director of the documentary The Other Side of the Sex, goes further, warning that great fame can bring great shame. "Once you have become an AV star, it becomes very hard to get a 'normal' job," he says. "And it can only become worse if you try to conceal your past. It doesn't matter whether you are retired or not, you cannot have financial credit from a bank, so it's really difficult to get, for example, a housing loan." Several years back, Shimiken found himself unable to rent an apartment. Landlord after landlord judged his occupation objectionable, even when he showed them a full bank account. He was able to sign a lease only when one real-estate agent revealed she was a fan. She offered to get him a place to live if he'd come to dinner with fans from her office.
