Nangin Fuzoku: Working Away From Home

"Nangin fuzoku, working away from home" — some people hear that and instantly get it, and some don't.

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

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 getting circumcision surgery and pearl implants, I've got the confidence now of being "fully prepped." My range in play has obviously widened, but the psychological ease is on a whole other level. To anyone agonizing over the modifications: I can tell you, "do it, no regrets."

What this actually means

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

ElonHaving surveyed nightlife scenes all over the world, my conclusion is that "the richest nightlife culture is the one rooted in the local culture." In that sense, I think Japan's fuzoku is the best in the world. That's not bias — it's a judgment based on comparison.

I'm writing down here the essence of the knowledge I've built up over 20 years.

Last word

Elon42, single, living alone. When pretty much your whole paycheck disappears into fuzoku, you naturally develop an "eye" for it. That's not a brag and it's not a regret — I'm just putting it down as fact.
