Tokyo (AFP) - After a decade of peeling off for X-rated movies, a Japanese porn actress famous for being the country's oldest has called it quits -- at the ripe old age of 80. Maori Tezuka, a former opera singer who made her debut in Japan's flourishing "silver porn" industry at a sprightly 71, blamed her decision partly on a lack of red-blooded Lotharios able to keep up with her. "I have no regrets, but shooting became difficult when the actor wasn't my type," added Tezuka, who in true showbiz fashion left the door open for a possible return. Japan's porn industry rakes in about $20 billion a year, with movies featuring rambunctious geriatrics accounting for around a quarter of that market, industry insiders say. In recent years sales have soared as more of the country's perky seniors celebrate their mojo.
