Lesbian Japanese girls increasing at love hotels

Face with a male population overworked and too stressed for sex, or so-called “herbivore” soushoku danshi (草食系男子) guys who care more about shopping than pussy — is it any wonder that local ladies are seeking solace…in each other’s arms?!

That’s the rumor!

I just read that lesbian OLs (“office ladies”, i.e. the girls who slave away in Japan’s air-conditioned, anonymous offices) are on the increase, according to employees at love hotels. And of course they see ALL of society pass through their doors.

Says one employee:

I’ve been working here for 15 years and in the last 5 the number of women coming into the hotel has been increasing. To get these kinds of customers lots of hotels have even been offering 30%-off “ladies’ day” discounts. Even my hotel does that twice in a month and in the daytime the rooms are always filled with housewife couples or university student couples!

Cleaning up after these lesbian ladies is also, ahem, special:

There is always a real “sex smell” in the air. There are lots of tissues thrown away with gel on them. And there are pubes all over the tissues. Recently there are increasing cases of things being left behind, like vibrators. I’m really surprised. It’s seems men today are good for just sperm and that’s it!

So be careful guys! Unless you work harder romantically these lovely ladies are going to turn away from you completely!

That said, there is an almost total absence of lesbian figures in the media. While openly gay men are finally on the increase in mainstream society — including the election of a gay male politician recently — many people here still find lesbianism an enigma.

The playwright, director and actress, Junko Emoto, has stated in writing that she could be regarded as a lesbian, though her “coming out” was pretty ambiguous. Of course, one look at her and a westerner could likely guess her sexuality at any rate. Not quite Jodie Foster but it’s a start, I guess…
