Kawagoe Soapland: Working There

Today I'm writing on the theme of "Kawagoe soapland, working there."

I'll mix in my own firsthand experience from 20-plus years in fuzoku (Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business) with what I've dug up through research.

The basics

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

Elon42, single, living alone. When nearly your whole paycheck disappears into fuzoku, you naturally develop an "eye" for it. I write that not as a brag or a regret, just as a plain fact.

When you've watched this industry for a long time, the same topic can get 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.

ElonHaving gone through phimosis surgery and a pearl implant, I now carry a confidence that I'm "fully prepared." My range in the room widened, sure, but the psychological margin is on a whole other level. To anyone torn over getting work done: "Do it, no regrets."

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

Wrap-up and my verdict

ElonAfter surveying nightlife around the world, my conclusion is that "the nightlife rooted in 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 based on comparison.

The place I keep coming back to is First Class Ruby. The only reason it shows up again and again on this site is simple: it's a shop I genuinely repeat at. Take it as a reference.
