As core participants in the industry, male AV actors often face social prejudice, especially among conservative groups.

- Discrimination in the workplace: It may be difficult for male AV actors to switch to the main pop industry if they disclose their identities, as employers may be concerned about image issues. A high-profile male actor like Taka Kato may still be questioned in the general workplace even though he has gained a certain amount of respect due to his professional image.
- Family and Social StressMany male actors and actresses choose to hide their careers, for example, Takashi Yoshimura and Namika rarely disclose their private lives to avoid negative comments from family or friends. Japanese society values "face" and AV work may be considered "shameful". This is especially true in urban areas such as Tokyo and Osaka.
- The Critique of Conservative Groups: In traditional Japanese society, sex-related occupations are considered "dirty" (不潔), and male AV actors are often regarded as ""("不潔") and ""("不潔")".ignore one's proper occupation"Thedrop dead cheapFor example, Shigeo Tokuda's mature pornography was criticized by conservatives for "insulting the dignity of the elderly". For example, Shigeo Tokuda's mature AVs, though marketable, have been criticized by conservatives as "insulting to the dignity of old age".
- Workplace and Family Stress: Actors such as Takashi Yoshimura and Daisuke Jeongmatsu choose to keep a low profile, in part because family or friends may not accept their occupation. Being public may lead to social isolation or workplace discrimination.
- Conflict of Gender Expectations: The idea that "men" should be financially and socially responsible is deeply entrenched, and male AV actors have been seen to defy this expectation. Ken Shimizu, for example, has been accused of "exploiting women," even though he emphasizes that his work is based on a professional contract.
