Fuzoku, Kawagoe, Good Money

Elon, with 20-plus years in the fuzoku world, breaks down fuzoku, Kawagoe, and making good money from firsthand experience.

Fuzoku, Kawagoe, Good Money

"Fuzoku, Kawagoe, good money" — some people hear that phrase and know exactly what it means, and some don't.

I'm 42 and still out there working 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 disorganized. Beginners especially tend to have no idea where to even start looking.

ElonAfter getting circumcision surgery and a pearl implant, I now carry the confidence of being "fully prepared." My range in play has widened, sure, but the psychological breathing room is on another level. To anyone agonizing over whether to get 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.

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

Last word
