['Must-Read for Fuzoku Girls] Why Working in Fuzoku Can Blow Your Cover — and the Traits of Shops You Should Pic']

"[Must-read for fuzoku girls] Why working in fuzoku can blow your cover — and the traits of shops you should pick" — some people hear that and nod instantly; others have no idea what I'm talking about. (Fuzoku is Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business.)

I'm 42 and still working the floor in this world, so I'll lay it out from a real, on-the-ground point of view.

Why this topic matters

Information about fuzoku is surprisingly scattered and poorly organized. Beginners especially tend to end up not even knowing where to start looking.

ElonOn what the girls really think, I had a chance to hear it straight from an acquaintance who used to work as a cast member. "A customer who looks like he's genuinely enjoying himself is the most appreciated." "Haggling over the price is the worst." Obvious stuff, sure — but put into words like that, it hits.

What this actually means

In a word: the quality of the experience changes depending on whether you know or you don't.

ElonTwenty years in this world has taught me that a "skilled girl" and a "good girl" are not the same thing. A girl with killer technique but disastrous conversation loses every time to a girl with ordinary technique who's a blast to talk to — by a wide margin.

What I'm writing here is the distilled essence of knowledge I've built up over 20 years.

Final word

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.
