A Japanese producer of extreme pornography, Natural High, has embarked on a quest to save poor African orphans, by sending a porn star and a film crew to make “anthropological documentary” porn of the Japanese lady having sex with various tribesmen, with the proceeds earmarked for donation to the only aid organisation which would have anything to do with them.
The producer, Sakkun, is said to have been travelling Africa during the production of “The Naked Continent” (see below for details), and was struck upon seeing the poverty of the African children there, thinking “Isn’t there anything an AV director can do to help?” (other than paying women to have sex with their men, or perhaps paying their men to have sex with their performer, Nana-chan, we might think). The pornographer cum good Samaritan then hit upon the idea of porn for charity. However, when he proposed his delightful idea to a variety of aid agencies, you may be heartened to know that none of them would give him so much as the time of day; however, one Kenyan charitable group was bankrupt enough to go along with him, the “Musona Self Help Group”. The AV producer gave them a million yen (interesting interpretation of “self help”, but let us leave that aside), and then sent them a porn star to help with the aid efforts, doling out corn, stationary, and building materials, in the usual ineffective manner.
They also munificently provided the aid recipients with T-shirts bearing the name of the AV production company, sparing not even the children their generosity. It doesn’t seem entirely clear whether they informed the participating Africans just what business “Natural High” is involved in, although the ones they used in filming doubtless understood well enough
Producer Sakkun is delighted: “After I saw them smiling after just being given a T-shirt, I started to take this personally.” The profits from the DVD sales, some ¥1000 for each DVD, will be donated to the charity concerned. Those involved in the AV each have their own trite stories about how they have come to realise how lucky they are and that they must be more conscientious in future, which I will spare you. There is, however, one dark cloud hovering over the venture (unless you consider the venture itself a dark cloud…), and that is the matter of the Japanese AV censors. Lest the minds of Japanese be drawn away from their usual pursuit of tentacle schoolgirl action, a strict regime of mosaicing ensures the Japanese are spared the sight of normal sex in any detail. In conformance with laws on journalistic ethics, the censors forced Natural to mosaic all the faces of the children they filmed in the course of making their pornography (incidentally, we are assured that they definitely did not have sex with any African children or show them any sex, definitely not; also they apparently did not have to do this previously), which seems to have put out Natural High: “It’s sad not to see their smiling faces” says Sakkun.
You may be familiar with Natural High for their at times extreme productions (actually they are mostly extreme, featuring everything), some of which are of rather questionable taste: the films of 裸の大陸 / The Naked Contintent series, which are billed as anthropological documentaries, feature amateur Japanese AV performers being whisked off to have sex with random bushmen in Africa, Papua New Guinea, and elsewhere, with the risk of contagion apparently not entering into the equation, let alone any other considerations. See below, in fact. Be warned, they are far less interesting than they appear.

TL;DR - Japanese Porn company goes to Africa to make a porn with native people, proceeds go to charity.
Anything for Charity?
- I'm for it, although probably wouldn't watch it.
The first idea that comes to my mind is exploitation.
Thats all I have to say.

"The profits from the DVD sales, some ¥1000 for each DVD, will be donated to the charity concerned."
I'm pretty sure all profits go to the charity and all participants are consenting adults.
The company seems to do extreme porn, and I think already has a series of African porn going around having sex with tribesmen, this time it's for charity though, or something. I really don't know much about the company tbh, just what I've read in the article.
Way to ruin another civilization. Can't we leave people to their way of life?
Also, as someone else pointed out in the link, the risk of catching AIDS is probably very high as most pornos don't use condoms...
I mean all that Comic Relief fund raising like sitting in a bath of beans is all goodnatured and fun, but this is ridiculous.
How does making money doing porn when your village can't afford food/medicine ruin their civilization? I think starvation and disease are much more of a civilization killer than filmed sex with a random hot girl.
I'm guessing they AIDs test all the men who consensually agree to performing in the video.
Ridiculous; and providing food and medicine for starving children.
giving money to charity - very good *thumbs up*
using sex as a way to raise money?? what?
its just a way to get the porn company into the headlines. it may seem charitable but imo it seems like they just want to sell more DVDs, and they've got their publicity from this "charitable" act...
surely famous porn stars actually building wells and schools and community centres etc would be more useful, more charitable and less... ridiculous? also that would make an interesting tv show. people could phone up to sponsor their fave pornstars. also may inspire lots of people who would otherwise be... *watching porn*... to get off their backsides and help other people?
Not to detract from the seriousness and, good intentions, of the news story but the second I read the title this just popped in my mind.

Who knew these people even knew we existed? They could of been blissfully unaware of the developed population around them, yet they stayed in their huts and continued with their customs and traditions and as for diseases - we had more chance of killing them. They've survived for this long without help, self-sufficient for thousands of years, why exactly do they need help now?

I doubt the tribesmen even know about AIDS in the first place, let alone agree for a test.

Under most disgraceful of conduct, it is ridiculous.

Most tribes in Africa know of the outer world, they rely heavily on foreign aid. They don't get by self-sufficiently, and if they do I'd like all my tax money and charity money that has gone over there for food and medication back. AIDs is a global epidemic, one primarily in Africa, I'm sure most know of it and are aware of it's dangers. The company is a legit porn company, I'm assuming they wouldn't subject their employees to a life threatening disease and would take all the precautions necessary to prevent them, like AIDs tests; especially if they're filming sex in Africa.
Ridiculous, disgraceful, and providing much needed Aid.
For curiosity, do you consider all porn to be disgraceful; if not, what differentiates this from 'regular' porn (my definition would be consenting adults performing sexual acts on film for money)?
As for the publicity stunt as mentioned by sweetsunday; probably. The company does extreme porn and I think has a series of African tribesmen and other bizarre stuff, so the overall concept of the film isn't new to this company, they've just decided to turn all their profits for this film back to the people after seeing their living conditions. ("The producer, Sakkun, is said to have been travelling Africa during the production of “The Naked Continent”, and was struck upon seeing the poverty of the African children there, thinking “Isn’t there anything an AV director can do to help?” The pornographer cum good Samaritan then hit upon the idea of porn for charity.")If it boosts sales for this film, it helps the people, although maybe someone will like it and buy their other stuff as well. Any publicity is good publicity, especially charity work.
Most, not all. How are you to know that this tribe was not one of the ones that did not know.

That's very charitable of you.

Not necessarily. I'm sure there are people in Zimbabwe who don't even know what Cholera is, let alone AIDS.

Probably, still doesn't make it right.

Well lets see, there's at least six different males, it's in a different continent, outdoors & interracial for starters, so no it's not regular porn, of which I don't find disgraceful because they haven't gone into another country, looking for an remote tribe and then exploit them and claim it all in the name of charity.

So they've been ruining other lost civilizations as well, which is not disgraceful, but bloody scandalous.
People don't actually realise that when they give money to charities hardly any of it reach people who need it the most. I've been doing an assignment at uni about how aid creates more poverty so if they are actually giving the money directly to the tribe and not through a NGO where the money is likely to corruption then I am for it.
But there are other ways to help people than make porn. But the porn industry is a huge industry and does generate a lot of money.
