Why this topic matters
Information about fuzoku is surprisingly poorly organized. Beginners especially tend to end up not even knowing where to start looking.
ElonAfter getting phimosis surgery and a pearl implant, I walk in with a "fully prepped" kind of confidence. It widened what I can do in a session, sure, but the bigger change is the psychological ease — night and day. To anyone agonizing over getting work done: do it, you won't regret it.
What that means concretely

Finally
Elon42, single, living alone. When nearly your entire paycheck disappears into fuzoku, you naturally develop an eye for it. I'm not bragging and I'm not regretting — I'm just putting it down as fact.
