Urawa Soapland: Petite / Lolita Type

A breakdown of Urawa soaplands and the petite, youthful-looking type, from Taniguchi's 20-plus years of firsthand experience.

Urawa Soapland: Petite / Lolita Type

"Urawa soapland, petite/youthful type" — some people hear that phrase and immediately get it, and some don't.

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

Why this topic matters

Information about fuzoku (Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business) is surprisingly disorganized. Beginners especially tend to end up not even knowing where to start looking.

ElonAfter foreskin surgery and a pearl implant, I now have the confidence of being "fully prepared." My range in play has obviously widened, and the psychological breathing room is on a whole different level. To anyone agonizing over getting work done: I can say "do it, no regrets."

What this actually means

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

ElonAfter surveying nightlife scenes all over the world, my conclusion is that "the nightlife rooted in the local culture is the richest." In that sense, I think Japan's fuzoku is the highest standard on the planet. That's not blind love — it's a judgment based on comparison.

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

To wrap up

Elon
ElonThe first time I went to a soapland in Yoshiwara I was 25. That was back before I had the pearls in. These days, the reaction I get when I go in with the pearls is one of the little joys. Conversations with a girl who actually asks "what is this?" turn out to be surprisingly fun.
