"Health clubs, glamorous girls, Nishikawaguchi" (health = a fuzoku format with hands-on service) — some people hear that and immediately know what's up, and some don't.

Why this topic matters
Information about fuzoku is surprisingly disorganized. Beginners especially tend to end up not even knowing where to start looking.
ElonAfter phimosis surgery and a pearl implant, I now carry the confidence of a man who's "ready to go." My range in the room widened, sure, but the bigger difference is mental headroom. To anyone on the fence about work done: do it, no regrets.

Last word
Elon42, single, living alone. When nearly your whole paycheck disappears into fuzoku, you naturally develop an eye for the real thing. That's not a brag and it's not a regret — I'm just putting it down as fact.
