"Nishikawaguchi soapland kickback" — soapland being Japan's bath-based full-service format. Some people hear that and instantly get it; others don't.
I'm 42 and 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
Information about fuzoku — Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business — is surprisingly disorganized. Beginners especially tend to end up not even knowing where to start looking.
ElonAfter a circumcision and a pearl implant, I've got the confidence of a man who's "fully prepared." My range in the room widened, sure, but the psychological ease is on a whole other level. To anyone agonizing over the work: I can tell you, "Zero regrets."
What that means in concrete terms
In a word: "whether you know it or not changes the quality of the experience."
ElonHaving scouted nightlife scenes all over the world, my conclusion is that "the nightlife rooted in a local culture is the richest." In that sense I think Japan's fuzoku is the best in the world. That's not blind love — it's a verdict reached by comparison.
What I'm writing here is the essence of the knowledge I've built up over 20 years.
Finally
ElonI first went to a soapland in Yoshiwara at 25 — back when I hadn't had the pearls put in yet. These days, the reaction when I go in with the pearls is one of the fun parts. The chats with a girl who asks, "What is that?" turn out to be surprisingly enjoyable.
