I've seen my fair share of Western porn. Hell, I grew up with it. There have been and are now many fine performers and filmmakers in the industry. But, as a whole, the American adult industry pales in comparison with JAV. The Japanese simply do it better, and most JAV fans would agree with this point. Yet, why is this? I set out the break down some of the leading reasons behind this.
1. Better (and More) Asian Women
Ok, so let's cut to the chase: if you like JAV, you are into Asian women. And probably not just a little, but a lot. Like a real lot. Sure, many JAV fans also like other varieties of women, but Asian women have a substantial presence. There are certainly Asian women in American porn (generally American-born for the most part), but there aren't many. In fact, at any one time there are only a handful of what I'd call top Asian performers active in the industry. JAV, by its very nature of being Japanese, offers many more Asian performers, typically way hotter than the ones in the West. There's also a ton more variety, with every conceivable body type and taste being represented in mass quantities. In contrast, Western porn is a desert for Asian lovers.
2. Creativity
This one is probably the biggest reason. The JAV industry is dominated by the feature length film. The 2+ hour running time that is more or less an industry standard allows for full and deep exploration of many themes. Some themes focus on specific sex acts, while others may focus on certain locations, occupations, costumes, or storylines. But the great thing about JAV is that the story-driven nature of most films does not in any way impact the amount of sexual content for the most part. JAV strikes a great balance in this aspect. For me, story, setup, and theme are critical aspects of the experience and in the West this has become something of a lost art. There are a few Western companies that do a great job on themes and setup, but they don't take it to the level that JAV does. JAV simply has more creative freedom.
3. Smorgasbord Approach
One of the pitfalls of Western porn is how many actresses will get to a certain level of popularity and then they will try out new levels of hardcore acts, whether it be anal, gangbang, group sex, etc. But once they cross that threshold, many of them stay there. Disappointing sets in for those fans disinterested in some of those themes; it's hard to find new work from those actresses that are appealing. For example, if a performer really starts getting into gangbangs, and you aren't into that, then you are out of luck if the majority of her content becomes gangbangs. But with JAV, actresses explore many themes that you may or may not like, but they will always keep a good variety going. They won't just abandon the classic themes that got them started like soapland, wife, or office lady. This is great because there usually ends up being something for everyone.
4. Sensuality and Eroticism
This last point is a bit subjective, but from my point of view I find JAV to be more sensual, more erotic. In Western porn, you get some setup story (sometimes even not that), and then typically it's right into foreplay and then pounding away, interjected with bouts of oral. Sometimes that can be great, as some Western porn can be really good at the "pounding away" part. But something is also lost... a lack of seductiveness, or conversely, a lack of innocence in the performance of the actresses. Maybe to put it more simply, there's more actual acting in JAV. They are simply way better when it comes to facial expressions and mannerisms. Whether it's an actress playing the role of your wife in POV, or an actress trying to steal away her sister's man, JAV does a remarkable job displaying real eroticism.
Well there you have it. That about sums up my thoughts on the finer points of JAV. Feel free to agree or disagree, or add points of your own.
