What Is a Honshimei in Fuzoku? Other Nomination Methods and Their Perks, Explained

"What is a honshimei in fuzoku? Other nomination methods and their perks, explained." Some people hear that and immediately get it; others don't.

I'm 42 and still out there working the field of this world, so I'll lay it out from a real-world point of view. (Honshimei (本指名) means a repeat nomination — requesting the same specific girl you've seen before; fuzoku is Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business.)

Why this topic matters

Information about fuzoku is surprisingly poorly organized. Beginners in particular often end up not even knowing where to start looking.

ElonAfter surveying nightlife scenes all over the world, my conclusion is this: the richest nightlife is the kind rooted in local culture. By that measure, Japanese fuzoku is world-class. That's not blind love — it's a judgment based on comparison.

What it actually comes down to

In a word: whether you know or don't know changes the quality of the experience.

ElonWhether I put in a honshimei comes down to one thing: do I want to see her again. Chemistry over looks. The vibe over chemistry. That's the order of priority in my head.

What I've written here is the essence of the knowledge I've built over 20 years.

Finally

ElonI've nominated the same girl more than 10 times. Different conversation every time, and every time it was just as much fun. These days I think that alone is enough. I don't go gachikoi — catching real feelings — but there's definitely that sense of going to see "someone I like."
