Aging Gracefully: “Japanese Cougars Gone Wild”

If you're like me, you think all Japanese women are about 19 years old and perpetually attending some mountain boarding school. That is why "Japanese Cougars Gone Wild" was a voyage of discovery for me.

The other day I thought, "I'd really like to see West of Ireland Gaelic-speaking Tinker's Daughter porn." And I believe someday I will. But for now I am fascinated - and a little taken aback for being fascinated - by a porn depiction of Asian women that is so different from the standard reed-thin and submissive representatives we're used to.

The conceit of this vignette movie is that there is a delivery service for older women who like younger men and for men who like older women (the movie includes excellent subtitles) and, while the women do not completely transcend the simpering Asian stereotype - in fact, to say they've "Gone Wild" is an exaggeration - they at least take the lead now and then.

Risako (who looks a little like Ashley Blue) opens the movie by calling for a young man to service her. No champagne glass breasts for Risako, she is full-figured and hippy. The rest of the scenes are a little more standard-issue, with the men making the escort calls, and all the women looking eerily reminiscent of Dame Shirley Bassey. Maybe it's the outfits.

One interesting thing about the latter scenes was how comfortable and descriptive the men were in ordering women who looked like "Mom."
