Nangin, Soapland, Cosplay

Today I'm writing on the theme of "Nangin, soapland, cosplay."

I'll break it down mixing my own real experience — over 20 years in fuzoku (Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business) — with what I've turned up through research.

The basics

Let me lay out the fundamentals worth knowing in this area.

ElonI first went to a Yoshiwara soapland at 25. That was back before I had the pearls in. These days, the reactions when I go in with them are one of the little joys — the conversations with a girl who asks "what is that?" turn out to be surprisingly fun.

Watch this industry long enough and you'll see the same topic get rated completely differently from the "customer's side" versus the "girl's side."

What I can say from real experience

I'll talk based on what I've lived through myself.

ElonI'm not trying to conquer every soapland in the country, but I've hit the "famous" spots in pretty much every region. My conclusion: service quality and cleanliness don't correlate. There are dirt-cheap places with godlike service.

I believe real experience beats theory. In this industry especially, it's a world where "reps" matter more than "knowledge."

Wrap-up and my conclusion

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

The place I keep going back to in the end is First Class Ruby. The only reason it keeps showing up on this site is simple — it's a shop I actually repeat at. Use that for what it's worth.
