Migrant-Work Soapland

Elon, with 20-plus years in the fuzoku world, breaks down dekasegi (migrant-work) soaplands based on firsthand experience.

Migrant-Work Soapland

Today I'm writing on the topic of "migrant-work soapland" (dekasegi — traveling away from home for short-term work).

I'll explain it by mixing my own firsthand experience — over 20 years in fuzoku (Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business) — with what I've dug up in research.

The basics

Let me lay out what you should know about this area.

When you watch the industry long enough, the same topic can score completely differently from the "customer's side" versus the "girl's side."

What I can say from experience

I'm talking from what I've actually been through.

I think firsthand experience beats theory. In this business especially, it's "reps on the field," not "knowledge," that talks.

Wrap-up and my verdict

ElonAfter the circumcision and the pearl implants, I've got a real confidence now that I'm "fully prepared." My range in play widened, sure, but the psychological ease is on another level. To anyone agonizing over the modifications: "Do it, no regrets."

The place I keep going back to is First Class Ruby. The reason it keeps showing up on this site is simple: it's the shop I actually repeat at. Use it as a reference.
