"Top-tier soapland in Kawagoe" — soapland being the licensed full-service bath-style format. Some people hear that and immediately get it; others don't.

Why this topic matters
Information about fuzoku is surprisingly disorganized. Beginners especially tend to end up stuck, not even sure where to start looking.
ElonAfter getting circumcised and going through pearl implants, I walk in with a real sense that I'm "ready." My range in the room widened, sure, but the bigger gain is psychological breathing room. To anyone agonizing over the work: do it, no regrets.

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

What I've written here is the essence of twenty years of accumulated knowledge.
Last word
ElonI first went to a soapland in Yoshiwara at twenty-five. Back then I hadn't had the pearls put in yet. These days, the reaction when I walk in with them is one of the little pleasures. The conversation with a girl who asks "what is that?" turns out to be surprisingly fun.
