Nankin Soapland: Working Away from Home

A breakdown of working away from home at a Nankin soapland, based on the firsthand experience of Elon, a 20-plus-year veteran of the trade.

Nankin Soapland: Working Away from Home

I'll give it to you straight: Nankin soapland, working away from home.

Let me walk you through it step by step.

My experience and this topic

From my twenties into my forties, I've spent my whole life walking through this world. Along the way, today's topic is a question I've had to face again and again.

Elon
ElonThe first time I went to a soapland in Yoshiwara I was 25. That was back before I'd gotten the pearls put in. These days, the reaction I get when I go in with the pearls is one of the little pleasures. The conversations with girls who ask, "What is this?" turn out to be surprisingly fun.

Points you should know

  • Nail the basics first — advanced moves only stand on top of fundamentals
  • Stacked experience is the best teacher — you won't learn it just by reading
  • Find a shop you can trust — to cut down on the time you spend agonizing
Elon
ElonI don't have any ambition to conquer every soapland in the country, but I've been through the "famous" ones in each region. My conclusion: service quality and cleanliness don't move in lockstep. Even bargain joints can have godlike service.

The option I'm pushing right now

Elon
Elon42, single, living alone. When nearly your entire paycheck disappears into fuzoku, you naturally develop an eye for this stuff. That's not a brag and it's not a regret — I'm just writing it down as a fact.

My bottom line: I recommend a visit to First Class Ruby. The service quality, the ease of booking, and the overall standard are all reliably solid.
