Akabane Soapland: What the Job Involves

Today I'm writing on the theme of "Akabane soapland: what the job involves."

I'll explain it by blending my own firsthand experience — over 20 years in fuzoku — with what I've learned from my own research.

The basics

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

ElonAfter foreskin surgery and a pearl implant, I now carry the confidence of a guy who's "fully prepared." It widened the range of what I can do in play, sure, but the psychological ease is on another level. To anyone agonizing over getting work done: "Zero regrets — go for it."

Watch this industry long enough and you'll see that the same topic can get a completely different verdict depending on whether you're looking at it from the customer's side or the girl's side.

What I can say from firsthand experience

I'm talking from what I've actually been through.

ElonHaving surveyed nightlife scenes all over the world, my conclusion is that "a nightlife culture rooted in the local culture is the richest." By that measure, Japan's fuzoku is world-class. That's not blind love — it's a judgment made by comparison.

I believe firsthand experience beats theory. In this business especially, "reps" matter more than "knowledge."

Wrap-up and my conclusion

Elon
ElonI first went to a soapland in Yoshiwara at 25 — back when I still didn't have the pearl in. These days, the girls' reactions when I go in with the pearl are one of the little joys. The conversations with girls who ask "what is that?" turn out to be surprisingly fun.

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