Yoshiwara Soapland Play

Today I'm writing on the topic of "Yoshiwara soapland play."

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

The basics

Let me lay out the fundamentals worth knowing about this area.

Elon (editor)After the circumcision and the pearl implants, I carry a real confidence now — like I'm "fully prepped." The range of play opened up, sure, but the psychological ease is on another level. To anyone agonizing over the modifications: "Do it, no regrets."

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

What I can say from firsthand experience

I'll talk from what I've actually lived through.

Elon (editor)After surveying nightlife scenes all over the world, my conclusion is that "the nightlife rooted in local culture is always the richest." By that measure, Japan's fuzoku is world-class, top tier. That's not blind devotion — it's a judgment made on comparison.

I believe firsthand experience beats theory. In this business especially, reps in the field count for more than book knowledge.

Wrap-up and my bottom line

Elon (editor)The first time I went to a Yoshiwara soapland I was 25 — back before I'd put the pearls in. These days the reaction when I go in with them is one of the little thrills. The conversation with a girl who asks "what is that?" turns out to be surprisingly fun.

The place I end up visiting most 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 as a reference.
