Soapland, Nangin, and the Loli Type

Taniguchi, with 20-plus years in the fuzoku world, breaks down soapland, Nangin, and the loli type from firsthand experience.

Soapland, Nangin, and the Loli Type

Today I'm writing on the theme of "soapland, Nangin, loli type."

I'll explain it by mixing my own firsthand experience—over 20 years in fuzoku (Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business)—with information I've dug up along the way.

The basics

Let me lay out the fundamentals you should know about this area.

Elon
ElonI first went to a soapland (soap) in Yoshiwara at 25. That was back before I had the pearl in. These days, the reaction when I go in with it is one of the fun parts. The conversations with a girl who actually asks "what is that?" turn out to be surprisingly enjoyable.

When you watch this industry long enough, you realize the same topic can get a completely different read from "the customer's side" versus "the girl's side."

What I can say from experience

I'll speak from what I've actually been through myself.

Elon
ElonI don't have any ambition to conquer every soapland in the country, but I've made the rounds of the "signature soaplands" in each region. My conclusion: service quality and cleanliness don't run in parallel. There are bargain-priced shops out there with downright miraculous service.

I believe firsthand experience matters more than theory. In this industry especially, "reps" talk louder than "knowledge."

Wrap-up and my conclusion

Elon42, single, living alone. When nearly your whole paycheck disappears into fuzoku, you naturally develop "an eye" for it. I'm not bragging and I'm not regretting—I'm just stating it as a fact.

The place I end up at most often is First Class Ruby. The reason it keeps showing up on this site is simple: it's a shop I keep going back to. Take it as a reference.
