"Horinouchi soapland, slender girls" — some people hear that and instantly know what's up, and some don't (soapland is a bath-based full-service format).

Why this topic matters
Fuzoku info is surprisingly badly organized. Beginners especially tend to end up not even knowing where to start looking.
ElonI'm not trying to conquer every soapland in the country, but I've been through the "signature" soaplands in each region. My takeaway: service quality and cleanliness don't move in lockstep. Even budget joints can deliver godlike service.

Last word
ElonAfter getting circumcision surgery and a pearl implant, I now carry a real sense of being "ready." My range in the room widened, sure, but the bigger difference is the mental ease. To anyone agonizing over whether to get work done: I can say "no regrets."
