Unlike AV, old Nikkatsu Roman Porno films have a distinctly Showa-era atmosphere and a real sense of eroticism. I’ve heard that some male actors who are popular today appeared in them early in their careers, while female actresses took part in them as a way to make a comeback.

Thank you for your questions! ① I went to a movie theater in Ueno and watched one when I was in college. There were a lot of older couples making out, which was intimidating, but I remember the film itself being excellent. It had a certain cinematic melancholy that you don’t find in today’s adult videos, which was nice. ② It looks like there are adult movie theaters all over Japan. Try searching for “全国成人映画館リスト” (“nationwide list of adult movie theaters”). I hope you find a partner who shares your interests.
