  • How to Become a Porn Actor in Japan

    How to Become a Porn Actor in Japan I am often asked these questions: "How can I become a porn actor in Japan?" or "How can I break into Japan's adult video (JAV) industry?"  I will do my best to provide the answers below.  Since I am a guy, please note this is written from a guy's perspective.

    PREREQUISITES

    How's your Japanese?

    How to Make Porn in Japan
    What follows is some general advice and guidance to help you get started producing your own porn in Japan.  Please note this is written from the perspective of a guy shooting boy-girl scenes.
