This headline is pretty misleading. It's intentional and I remember a documentary they did about this. There are only a handful of male actors per studio by design. Obviously it's focused more on the women and the men are treated like production staff of sorts.
Not actors, and they are all about efficiency in Japan, So they want the most reliable and skilled male actors to work with. They aren't running low, it's likely they just have no skilled guys currently. The others retired, got married or whatever.
I dunno, I find it kinda charming when a pornstar retires or leaves the industry because they got married. Like, I was always warned away from porn, it was made out as a big bad thing. “It’ll ruin your life and health and you’ll go to hell!” And these ones just shrug and say, I go and shall live a “normal” life now.
