Taniguchi, with 20-plus years in fuzoku, breaks down the cute soaplands of Kawaguchi City from firsthand experience.

Kawaguchi City: Cute Soaplands

Today's topic: the cute soaplands of Kawaguchi City.

I'll work through it using my own firsthand experience from 20-plus years in fuzoku (Japan's licensed adult-entertainment business), mixed with what I've turned up in my research.

The basics worth knowing

Let me lay out the fundamentals you should know about this subject.

ElonAfter a circumcision and a pearl implant, I walk in these days with the confidence of a guy who's "fully prepped." It widened what I can do in the room, sure, but the psychological ease is on a whole other level. To anyone agonizing over getting work done: I can tell you there's zero regret.

Watch this industry long enough and you'll see that the same topic gets graded completely differently depending on whether you're looking at it from the customer's side or the girl's side.

What I can say from experience

I'll talk based on what I've actually been through.

ElonAfter surveying nightlife scenes all over the world, my conclusion is that "the richest nightlife is the kind rooted in local culture." By that measure, Japanese fuzoku is the best in the world. That's not blind love — it's a verdict reached by comparison.

I believe firsthand experience beats theory. Especially in this industry, it's a world where reps matter more than book knowledge.

My takeaway

ElonMy first trip to a Yoshiwara soapland was at 25 — back before I'd put the pearls in. These days the reaction when I walk in with them is one of the little joys. The conversation with a girl who asks "what is that?" turns out to be surprisingly fun.

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