"Gamo soapland style" — some people hear that and instantly get it, and some don't.
I'm 42 and still out in the field of this world, so I'll lay it out from a real-world point of view. (Soapland is the bathhouse-style format of Japan's licensed adult entertainment.)
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.
ElonSpeaking as a guy who surveys nightlife districts around the world: Japan's fuzoku stands out for one thing above all — courtesy. I've sampled the Thai, the Korean, and the German styles, and the politeness baked into Japan's system is in a class of its own.
What this means in concrete terms
In a word: whether you know it or not changes the quality of the experience.
ElonBangkok's Soi Cowboy, Korea's techno-massage parlors, Germany's eros centers — I've seen the night worlds of the planet, and in the end the place I keep going back to is Japan. That's not patriotism, it's a question of quality.
What I'm writing here is the essence of the knowledge I've built up over 20 years.
In closing
Elon42, single, living alone. When nearly your whole paycheck disappears into fuzoku, you naturally develop an eye for the real thing. I'm not bragging and I'm not apologizing — I'm just putting it down as a fact.
