Fuzoku, Tall Girls, Kawagoe

Elon, with 20-plus years in the fuzoku world, breaks down fuzoku, tall girls, and Kawagoe from firsthand experience.

Fuzoku, Tall Girls, Kawagoe

"Fuzoku, tall girls, Kawagoe"—say it out loud and some people get it instantly, while others don't. (Fuzoku is Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business.)

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

Why this topic matters

Information about fuzoku is surprisingly disorganized. Beginners especially tend to end up not even knowing where to start looking.

ElonAfter getting circumcision surgery and a pearl implant, I now carry this confidence that "I'm fully prepped." It widened what I can do in a session, sure, but the psychological ease is on a whole other level. To anyone agonizing over getting work done: I can tell you "zero regrets."

What this actually means

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

ElonAfter surveying nightlife scenes all over the world, my conclusion is that "nightlife rooted in local culture is the richest." In that sense I think Japan's fuzoku is world-class. That's not blind love—it's a verdict reached by comparison.

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

To wrap up
