First American Pie made Stifler’s mom famous, then the rock band Fountains of Wayne popularized “Stacey’s Mom.” Now, MILFs are cool.

No one ever really talks about DILFs, but, let’s face it, older men ARE sexy. And it didn’t take a pop song or a teen movie to remind us of that, or to make it socially acceptable to drool over the likes of Pierce Brosnan, Sean Connery, George Clooney or Harrison Ford.

I noticed something interesting in the movie posters for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Many of the photos in the promotional material had been airbrushed to make Harrison Ford look younger, with far less wrinkles. However, I found his–let’s call it “weathered”–face in the actual movie equally attractive. He’s still got that crooked smile, the twinkle in his eye.

Even so, I think the Japanese are taking it a bit too far. The country that gave us animated characters with size 32DD breasts now brings us an unexpected, yet rapidly-growing genre: “elder porn.”

A recent article on Time magazine’s website spotlighted 74-year-old Japanese porn star, Shigeo Tokuda. Yes, 74 years old. Tokuda, whose name has become a popular brand in his native country, has appeared in 340 adult films over the past 14 years.

Members of the Japanese adult film industry say the genre appeals to both young and old. The elderly can relate to the story lines of a younger woman and older man, while younger viewers are intrigued by the experience and mystery of older stars.

The Time article reports that while videos featuring hot young starlets tend to sell for three months, then drop in popularity, movies with older adult stars—male and female—garner long-term, steady sales. A few years ago, according to the article, “mature women” titles represented girls in their 20s. Now, the genre spans from what Americans might consider the “typical” MILF age-range of 30 to 50 all the way up to GILFs in their seventies.

My first natural reaction to this article was: Ewww!! Then I remembered: Isn’t Sean Connery in his 70s now?

What about you? Who are your favorite DILFs and GILFs?
