What Kinds of Mizu-Shobai Are There? A Look at the Jobs for Men, Too

Today's topic: "What kinds of mizu-shobai (Japan's nightlife/hostessing trade) are there? A look at the jobs for men, too."

I'll break it down mixing my own 20-plus years of firsthand experience in fuzoku with what I've turned up in research.

The Basics

What I Can Say From Experience

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

Wrap-Up and My Verdict

ElonAfter the phimosis surgery and the pearl implants, I've got this confidence now that "everything's in place." My range in the room widened, sure, but the psychological ease is on a whole different level. To anyone agonizing over getting work done: "Do it, zero 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 a shop I actually repeat at. Take it as a reference.
