An 83-year-old grandmother from Japan says she got into the porn industry after her husband passed away and only wants to shoot scenes with younger actors.
Ogasawara Yuko, who grew up with a strict education, initially thought her life would be as simple as her mother’s, who lived as a housewife as her husband worked in an office, according to China Press as translated by World of Buzz.
She later married her husband and had two sons and a daughter. But her simple life changed one fateful day when her husband passed away from liver failure at the age of 59. Ogasawara became devastated and weak for a period of time.
Two years later, with encouragement from her family, she pulled through and decided to open up a restaurant.

One day at her restaurant, Ogasawara met a woman who asked if she wanted to star in adult films. At first, the elderly woman refused the offer, but later, she was convinced and followed the woman to the site where they shoot porn.
“If I were to become one, I don’t want an old man. I want a handsome young man,” Ogasawara said as she watched a young woman have sex with an older man.
“If you are willing, we can arrange for that,” the producer replied.
Ogasawara started her porn career at the age of 81 and the male actors she has partnered with were young enough to be her grandsons.
“This is the first time I had sex with a boy other than my husband,” she said.
She told reporters that her life is good and very fulfilling now. Ogasawara also added that her son knew about her porn career and encouraged her to do what she enjoys.
