Popular Tokyo Soaplands

"Popular Tokyo soaplands" — some people hear that and know exactly what it means, and some don't.

I'm 42 and still out there walking the floor of this world, so I'm going to 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.

What this actually means

In a word: knowing versus not knowing completely 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

Elon
