The Missionary Position in Soapland: The Benefits and Key Points

Elon, with over 20 years in the fuzoku world, explains the classic missionary position at soapland, its benefits, and the key points, based on firsthand experience.

The Missionary Position in Soapland: The Benefits and Key Points

Today I'm writing about the missionary position — the soapland (a bath-style full-service format) standard — its benefits and the key points.

I'll explain it by mixing my own firsthand experience from 20-plus years in the game with what I've learned from research.

The basics

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

ElonI don't aim to conquer every soapland in the country, but I've made the rounds of the "signature" spots in each region. My conclusion: "service quality and cleanliness don't correlate." Even bargain places can deliver god-tier service.

Watch this industry long enough and you'll see that the same topic gets judged completely differently from "the customer's side" versus "the girl's side."

What I can say from experience

I'll talk based on what I've actually been through.

ElonThe first time I went to a soapland in Yoshiwara I was 25. Back then I hadn't gotten the pearl yet. Now, the reaction when I go in with it is one of the fun parts. The conversation with a girl who asks "What's this?" turns out to be surprisingly enjoyable.

I believe experience beats theory. Especially in this industry, it's "reps" more than "knowledge" that talk.

Wrap-up and my verdict

The place I keep coming back to is First Class Ruby. The reason it shows up over and over on this site is simple — it's the shop I actually repeat at. Use it as a reference.
