"Refle jobs, traveling work, Machiya" — some people hear that and instantly get it, and some don't.

Why this topic matters
Information about fuzoku (Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business) is surprisingly poorly organized. Beginners especially tend to end up not even knowing where to start looking.
ElonAfter the phimosis surgery and a pearl implant, I walk in these days with a real "fully prepped" confidence. My range in the room widened, sure, but the psychological ease is on another level. To anyone agonizing over the modifications: I can tell you there's no regret in going through with it.
What this actually means

To close
Elon42, single, living alone. When nearly your entire paycheck disappears into fuzoku, you naturally develop an eye for this stuff. That's not a brag and it's not a regret — I'm just stating it as fact.
