Nangin Soapland: Young Girls

"Nangin soapland: young girls" — soapland being a full-service bathhouse format. I figure some people read that and immediately get it, and others don't.

At 42 I'm still out walking the floor of this world, so I'll sum it up from a real, on-the-ground point of view.

Why this theme matters

A surprising amount of information about fuzoku — Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business — is poorly organized. Beginners especially tend to end up not even knowing where to start looking.

ElonThe first time I went to a Yoshiwara soapland I was 25. That was back before I had the pearls put in. These days, the reaction when I go in with the pearls is one of my little pleasures. The conversation with a girl who asks "what is that?" turns out to be surprisingly fun.

What that actually means

Put simply: whether you know it or not changes the quality of the experience.

ElonI'm not out to conquer every soapland in the country, but I've made the rounds of the "signature" soaplands in each region. My conclusion: service quality and cleanliness don't correlate. Even the budget joints can have downright divine service.

What I've written here is the essence of the knowledge I've built up over 20 years.

In closing

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 a regret — I'm just putting it down as fact.
