That night I didn't feel like doing anything in particular. I was staring at the ceiling of my hotel room, and—looking for something in the late-night Tomakomai—I made the call. White Lovers Obihiro—I'd known the name for a while, but this was my first time using it.
I picked the 60-minute course: ¥13,000. White Lovers Obihiro is open 12:00 to 5:00 the next morning, so it solidly covers late-night demand. A port town. An industrial city, yet one where the nightlife culture has taken root, too.
Writing Honestly About the Technique
In delivery health, "high technique" isn't simply a matter of being "good." The conclusion I reached over 16 years is that it means "high skill at reading your state."
A girl who runs a fixed program versus a girl who moves while judging what this person wants right now—even within the same 60 minutes, the felt experience is completely different. White Lovers Obihiro's girl was the latter.
Concretely: early on, I reacted strongly at a certain moment. The girl saw that reaction. And five minutes later, without saying a word, she came back to that moment. Meaning she'd memorized it and put it to use. Few girls can do this. Plenty see a reaction and let it die in the moment. Memorizing it and deploying it in the second half is the mark of someone with real powers of observation.
The adjustment of pressure was finely tuned, too. She adjusted before I could say "a little." I think she was reading my body's responses. There's a real pleasure in being understood without having to say it in words. Any situation where you have to spell it out drags down the quality of the experience by itself.
The pacing was good as well. Gather information in the first half, use that information in the second. The ending wasn't abrupt; it eased naturally into an afterglow. The girl treated the 60 minutes as "designed time." I consider the ¥13,000 the price for that design skill. Running into technique of this level in Tomakomai is the reward for never stopping the research.
The Importance of Talking
If you ask what I'm after in a delivery health, I won't answer "technique alone." The quality of the conversation, the mood, the way time flows—these are important factors too.
White Lovers Obihiro's girl had a natural way of starting a conversation. Not the stock "Where did you come from?"—there's an intelligence to it, the way she glances at the state of the room before choosing a topic.
The Memory of the 60 Minutes I Spent
Over the 60 minutes there were parts where we talked and parts where we stayed quiet. Not making the silence feel awkward—this is a kind of communication skill in itself. Few people can wield silence.
As a Tomakomai delivery health, a ¥13,000, 60-minute course. Weighed by "quality of time" rather than the heft of the price, the satisfaction ran high.
To Sum Up
White Lovers Obihiro is "a shop where you can have a conversation." This owes more to the girl's individual character than to any shop concept. Obihiro area, open 12:00 to 5:00 the next morning.
