Honestly, old people doing the horizontal bop isn’t all that odd. To be perfectly frank, I hope I’m spry enough to enjoy my golden years to the fullest…and compared to some of the wierd Japanese pr0n I’ve been subjected to in the past (’poop tempura’ should be first and last word on that account), old-people porn is downright mainstream.

Still, this TIME article about 74-year-old porn actor Shigeo Tokuda is fascinating in an ‘On Golden Pond Meets John Holmes’ kinda way. And seriously - you’ve got to love some of the names of these flicks…

Tokuda’s exploits have proved to be a goldmine for Glory Quest, which first launched an “old man” series, Maniac Training of Lolitas, in December 2004. Its popularity led the company to follow up with Tokuda starring in Forbidden Elderly Care in August 2006. Other series followed, and soon elder porn had revealed itself as a sustainable new revenue stream for the industry. “The adult-video industry is very competitive,” says Glory Quest p.r. representative Kayoko Iimura. “If we only make standard fare, we cannot beat other studios. There were already adult videos with Lolitas or themes of incest, so we wanted to make something new. A relationship between wife and an old father-in-law has enough twist to create an atmosphere of mystery and captivate viewers’ hearts.”

Ye gods. I’ve always said the Japanese do everything with reckless abandon, and this does nothing to dissuade my crass generalization.

A local council employee in Japan has been punished after it was discovered he had accessed porn websites at work more than 780,000 times in nine months.

His superiors were alerted to the problem only when his computer became infected with a virus.

The 57-year-old man, who has not been named, works for the city of Kinokawa in southern Japan.

He held on to his job, but has been demoted and his wages have been cut by about 20,000 yen ($190; £80) a month.
