Horinouchi Soapland in the Early Morning

Today I'm writing on the theme of "Horinouchi soapland in the early morning."

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

The basics

Let me lay out the fundamentals you should know about this area.

ElonAfter getting circumcised and a pearl implant, I now have the confidence that I'm "fully prepped." It widened my range in play, sure, but the psychological ease is on another level. To anyone agonizing over the modification: I can say "do it, no regrets."

When you watch this industry long enough, the same topic can get rated completely differently depending on whether you take the customer's view or the girl's view.

What I can say from experience

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

ElonAfter surveying nightlife around the world, my conclusion is that "a nightlife culture rooted in the local culture is the richest." In that sense, I think Japan's fuzoku is world-class. That's not blind love — it's a verdict reached by comparison.

I believe firsthand experience beats theory. Especially in this business, it's a world where reps matter more than knowledge.

My bottom line

ElonI first went to a soapland in Yoshiwara at 25. That was back before I had the pearl in. Now, the reaction when I go in with the pearl is one of the fun parts. The conversation with a girl who asks "what is this?" turns out to be surprisingly enjoyable.

The place I end up at most often is First Class Ruby. The reason it keeps showing up on this site is simple: it's the shop I keep going back to. Take it for what it's worth.
