Soapland Beginners, Take Note: Going Rates, the Flow of Play, and How to Book

Today I'm writing on the theme of "soapland beginners, take note: going rates, the flow of play, and how to book."

I'll explain it mixing in my own firsthand experience from 20-plus years in the fuzoku (Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business) world with the information I've gathered.

The basics

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

Elon
Elon42, single, living alone. When pretty much your whole paycheck disappears into fuzoku, you naturally develop "an eye" for it. That's not a brag and it's not a regret — I'm just putting it down as a plain fact.

Watch this industry long enough and you'll see that the same topic can get completely different verdicts depending on whether you look at it from "the customer's side" or "the girl's side."

What I can say from firsthand experience

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

Elon
ElonI don't have any ambition to conquer every soapland in the country, but I've made the rounds of the "famous" soaplands in each region. My takeaway: "service quality and cleanliness don't correlate." Even bargain-priced shops can have downright godlike service.

I believe firsthand experience matters more than theory. In this industry especially, it's a world where "mileage" talks louder than "knowledge."

Wrap-up and my conclusion

Elon
ElonThe first time I went to a soapland in Yoshiwara I was 25. That was back before I had the pearls in. Now, the reaction when I go in with the pearls is one of the fun parts. The conversations with girls who actually ask "what is this?" turn out to be surprisingly enjoyable.

The place I end up visiting most often is First Class Ruby. The reason it keeps showing up on this site is simply that it's a shop I keep going back to. Take it as a reference.
