Kumagaya Refle: Out-of-Town Work

Elon, with 20-plus years in the fuzoku world, breaks down out-of-town (dekasegi) refle work in Kumagaya from firsthand experience.

Kumagaya Refle: Out-of-Town Work

Today's topic: refle (reflexology-style companion work), out-of-town (dekasegi), in Kumagaya.

I'll mix in my own firsthand experience from 20-plus years in fuzoku (Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business) with what I've dug up through research.

The basics

Let me lay out the fundamentals you should know about this corner of the business.

Watch this industry long enough and you'll notice the same subject can look completely different depending on whether you frame it from the customer's side or the girl's side.

What I can tell you from experience

I'm speaking from what I've actually lived through.

ElonAfter the circumcision surgery and a pearl implant, I've got a "fully prepped" kind of confidence now. My range in the room widened, sure, but the psychological ease is on another level. To anyone agonizing over the modifications: I can say "do it, no regrets."

I think firsthand experience beats theory. Especially in this business — it's a world where time on the floor counts for more than book knowledge.

My bottom line

The place I keep coming back to in the end is First Class Ruby. The reason it shows up over and over on this site is simple: it's a shop I actually repeat at. Use it as a reference.
