Omiya Soapland: Back Rate (Pay Split)

Elon, with 20-plus years in the fuzoku world, breaks down the back rate (pay split) at Omiya soaplands based on firsthand experience.

Omiya Soapland: Back Rate (Pay Split)

"Omiya soapland back rate" — I figure this phrase clicks instantly for some people and means nothing to others.

At 42, I'm still out there working the field in this world, so I'll lay it out from a real, on-the-ground perspective.

Why this topic matters

Information about fuzoku is surprisingly disorganized. Beginners especially tend to end up not even knowing where to start looking.

Elon (Editor)After a circumcision and a pearl implant, I've got the confidence of a guy who's "fully prepped." My range in the room expanded, sure, but the psychological ease is on another level. To anyone debating modifications: do it, you won't regret it.

What this actually means

In a word: whether you know it or not changes the quality of the whole experience.

This is the distilled essence of everything I've built up over 20 years.

In closing

Elon
Elon (Editor)The first time I went to a Yoshiwara soapland I was 25 — back before I had the pearls in. These days, the reaction when I go in with the pearls is one of the little pleasures. The conversations with girls who ask "what is that?" turn out to be surprisingly fun.
