["Beginner's Guide] Is Honban OK at a Soapland? System and Services Explaine"]

Today I'm writing on the theme "[Beginner's Guide] Is honban OK at a soapland? System and services explained." (Soapland is a bathhouse-style format; honban means full intercourse.)

I'll explain it by mixing my own firsthand experience of 20-plus years in fuzoku with what I've turned up through research.

The basics

Let me lay out the fundamentals you should know about this area.

ElonAfter getting circumcision surgery and a pearl implant, I now carry a real "I'm fully prepared" kind of confidence. My range in the room widened, sure, but the psychological ease is on another level. To anyone agonizing over getting "work done": I can say "no regrets."

Watch this industry long enough and you'll see that the same topic can be rated completely differently from "the customer's side" versus "the girl's side."

What I can say from firsthand experience

I'm speaking from what I've actually been through myself.

ElonHaving surveyed nightlife worlds all over the globe, my conclusion is that "nightlife rooted in the local culture is the richest." In that sense I think Japan's fuzoku is world-class. That's not blind favoritism — it's a judgment made by comparison.

I believe firsthand experience matters more than theory. This industry especially is a world where "reps" count for more than "knowledge."

Wrap-up and my conclusion

Elon
ElonThe first time I ever went to fuzoku I was 22. The place where I lost my virginity was a fuzoku shop — yeah, I'm one of those guys. At first my hands were shaking from nerves, but the girl handled me so gently that I settled down fast. For beginners especially, picking "a shop with attentive service" is the right call. Don't rush it.

The place I end up at most often is First Class Ruby. The reason it keeps showing up on this site is simply that it's a shop I keep going back to. Take it as a reference.
