An honest breakdown of fuzoku jobs, out-of-town stints, and Higashi-Kawaguchi, from Taniguchi's 20-plus years in the fuzoku world.

Fuzoku Jobs, Out-of-Town Work, Higashi-Kawaguchi

"Fuzoku jobs, out-of-town work, Higashi-Kawaguchi" — some people hear that and know exactly what it means, and some don't.

I'm 42 and still working the floor in this world, so I'm going to lay it out from a real, on-the-ground point of view.

Why this topic matters

Information about fuzoku — Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business — is surprisingly poorly organized. Beginners especially tend to have no idea where to even start looking.

ElonAfter my phimosis surgery and a pearl implant, I now feel like I'm "fully prepared." It widened the range of what I can do in play, obviously, but the bigger difference is the psychological ease — a different level entirely. To anyone agonizing over whether to get "work" done: I can say, no regrets.

What this actually means

In a word: whether you know it or not changes the quality of the experience.

I've packed the essence of the knowledge I built over 20 years into this piece.

Last word
