Today I'm writing on the theme "Does fuzoku offer a standby guarantee? The pros, cons, and conditions explained." (Fuzoku is Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business; a standby guarantee, machi hosho, is a minimum payment a shop guarantees a girl even on slow days.)
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.
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.
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
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.
