Could this have something to do with "cleaning up" Japan ahead of the upcoming Olympics in 2020?
We haven't heard much about a crackdown on enjo kosai for a little while now, after the media panicked about it a few years ago. But the police have launched a big internet hunt for schoolgirls prostituting themselves through euphemisms.
This will officially begin on October 21st, aimed at schoolgirls selling used panties or otherwise offering their bodies for willing men.
This year, as part of a trial period of the cyber investigation in ten prefectures, they have nabbed 97 minors. ...
Stand around outside any major station or crossing in a Japanese city and you will see them. Young guys picking up girls. Sounds pretty universal. Only these guys are not looking for sex for themselves, nor are they the flamboyant hosts looking for customers to take to their bars.
These usually young and slender guys are scouts. Their job is to recruit girls to work as hostesses or prostitutes in Japan's whole other dimension of sex shops. They get finder's fees from the businesses that they recruit for and they can often be seen watching the hordes that pass, only to then slink up to ...
Saitama might well have a reputation as a boring suburb of Tokyo but some places aren't as dull as they sound.
Japan might also be a nation with 25% older population but the seniors can't be accused of being anything but active.
One man was recently arrested for being a little too vigorous, in fact. 64-year-old Yoshio Shimazaki of Utsunomiya in Tochigi had some urges and knew where to do go to sort it out. He went to Saitama.
In November 2011 at a love hotel in Kawaguchi City he gave a female high school student ¥20,000 and then had her perform bondage play with him. At the time the ...
Forget Toyota and Sony, the real beneficiaries of Abenomics and the boost to the economy Japan is receiving (at least in spirit) is Yoshiwara, the old red light district near the Tokyo Sky Tree and still active centuries after it first became a licensed sex area.
Of course, these days prostitution is officially outlawed (thanks to the US occupation for that) but the true Yoshiwara experience can still be enjoyed in the soaplands, where you get a bubbly rub-down followed by other kinds of services.
The increase in tourists to the nearby Sky Tree is having a knock-on effect on the ...
What did we tell you recently about larger ladies being better experiences? There's even a special masturbator for just that sensation!
Clearly we are not alone in these opinions, since news reaches us that Japanese police have broken up a delivery health service (a euphemism for call girl service) which specializes in women weighing up to 150kg!
The leader has been arrested -- we guess, then, she wasn't kicking up to the right Yakuza to win police protection -- though intriguingly it was a woman. Keiko Saito (41) was running Makkusu Bodi (Max Body) expressly for men who like ...
Kiyoshi Hayashishita, the famous father of a dozen children and star of long-running reality TV show "Big Daddy", has told a tabloid of a side-line he used to do to earn extra cash.
"I was a driver for a delivery health [a euphemism for call girl services]. The hourly rate was ¥5,000. It was just four hours but you could earn ¥20,000 in a night. It was a really good part-time job."
He also explains how the drivers -- who take the girls by car to the love hotels and often wait -- also function as bouncers when things go wrong.
He sometimes had to take along a wooden sword to ...
There recently appeared online a Q&A with someone who claimed to work for a sex club (fuzoku), inviting Japan's netizens to throw out questions.
Here is a selection of the results...
What type of sex club is it?
"Wife" hotel delivery.
Have you ever hit a customer demanding to go the whole way with a girl?
I've made a copy of someone's driver's licence before.
Do you spend money on STDs?
We get checked [the girls] out.
Where do you recruit women?
Online.
If yours is a "wife"-style sex club, then I guess your customers are mostly young?
In the mornings there ...
Outspoken Osaka mayor and founder of the Japan Restoration Party, now Japan’s third largest party, Toru Hashimoto has got himself in hot water over some comments he made about the "comfort women" during the war and his recommendations for how to avoid rapes in Okinawa.
Hashimoto, no stranger to getting noticed by provocative comments, told reporters in Osaka on on Monday that the "comfort women" (local women forced into prostitution by the colonizing Japanese forces in Asia during the war) were necessary in order to maintain military discipline.
The women “were necessary in ...
Hurray for good customer service.
Over on Tokyo Reporter we read a interesting little summary of a tabloid article that claims Abenomics -- the Japanese prime minister's fiscal policies aimed at bringing inflation -- are having no effect on the sex industry.
You can still head to a soapland and have a good time with all the foam and frolics for as little as 10,000 yen, and sometimes even lower in certain east Tokyo neighborhoods like Yoshiwara.
Abenomics might have raised the Nikkei by sixty percent but actually a price war has emerged between certain establishments in notorious ...
It sounds like the plot of an ero manga but it's true, and could it only happen in Osaka?
A female teacher in Osaka working at a prefectural high school has been suspended for work for six months after it came to light that she was moonlighting as a prostitute.
The twenty-nine-year-old educator responded that "there is no excuse" for what she did and resigned.
Having accumulated debts of two million yen (at least two thirds of her salary, perhaps more) on credit card purchases of cosmetics and clothes, she turned to her other skills set to work off her loan.
She actually did ...
