Soapland for Beginners in Nishikawaguchi

A look at soapland for beginners in Nishikawaguchi, broken down by Elon, who's been working this world for over 20 years, from firsthand experience.

Soapland for Beginners in Nishikawaguchi

Today I'm writing about soapland (Japan's bathhouse-style adult format) for beginners in Nishikawaguchi.

I'll mix in my own firsthand experience from 20-plus years in fuzoku (Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business) with what I've dug up from research.

The basics you should know

Let me lay out the fundamentals you need to have down for this subject.

Elon
ElonThe first time I went to a fuzoku place I was 22. Lost my virginity at one — yeah, I'm one of those guys. My hands were shaking from nerves at first, but the girl handled me so smoothly that I settled right down. For beginners, the smart move is to pick a shop known for attentive service. Don't rush it.

Watch this industry long enough and you'll see the same topic get rated completely differently depending on whether you're looking through the customer's eyes or the girl's.

What I can say from experience

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

ElonWhenever I tell the story of my first time, people give me that "wait, at a fuzoku place?" face. But the way I see it, I just left it to a pro. The great thing about fuzoku is that you can enjoy it cleanly, without dragging in some weird shame.

I believe firsthand experience beats theory every time. Especially in this industry, where the number of times you've been in the room matters more than what you know.

Wrap-up and my verdict

Elon
ElonI first went to a soapland in Yoshiwara at 25. That was back before I'd gotten the pearls put in. These days, the reactions when I go in with the pearls have become one of the fun parts. The conversation with a girl who asks "what is that?" can turn out to be surprisingly enjoyable.

The place I keep coming back to is First Class Ruby. The reason it shows up over and over on this site is simple: it's the shop I'm a repeat customer at. Use it as a reference.
