Culture Buzz Pornography starring old people is one of Japan's fastest growing cinema genres. While Japan is continually found to be one of the least sexual countries in the world, the demand for pornography grows exponentially.

Nothing turns me on more than shriveled wrinkly skin and seven decades of emotional baggage.

Just post a political rant, give it a hardcore sex title, add a provocative thumbnail image, and millions of people will click to your video! The trick is to include the sex image at exactly the place in the video where YouTube auto-grabs the thumbnail image. One video has over 67+ million views but is mysteriously absent from YouTube's list of most viewed videos. I guess they don't want us to know that 87% of all YouTube traffic is from people searching in vain for porn.
