I’d like to talk a bit about the growing sex services for women industry in Japan.
Sex services for women in Japan is called josei-yo fuzoku, often abbreviated to jo-fu. Currently there are hundreds of shops all over Japan, featuring thousands of men who work as erotic massage therapists.
A standard appointment involves a male therapist going out to meet his female client. For a first-time meeting, the therapist will give his client a questionnaire for her to fill out in order to indicate her preferences. After she fills out the questionnaire, both the therapist and the client will take a shower, either separately or together if the client prefers to do so.
After the shower the therapist will begin to give the client the massage. The massage methods will vary depending on the individual therapist, but usually the client will start by laying on her stomach. The client will give her an oil massage, which will eventually transition into sexual play. The activities included in the sexual play are kissing/making out, caressing/fondling, fingering, oral sex, and the usage of toys. If the client wants to, she may also perform sexual acts with the therapist, such as a handjob, blowjob, and 69. However, this is only if the client wants to do these things, as the time is completely devoted to her and her pleasure. Please note that sexual intercourse is not included in the activities offered, as this is illegal in Japan.
Once the reservation time has ended the therapist will shower, get dressed, and leave.
This is just a general flow, as things can vary depending on what the client wants, as well as each individual therapist’s style. For example, if desired, the client can minimize or skip the massage time and only enjoy the sexual services, skip the sexual services and just enjoy an oil massage, or even just talk with the therapist during the allotted time. There are also date courses where the client can go out with the therapist to activities such as lunch or dinner, etc.
FAQ
Q: What’s the difference with the different courses offered?
A: There’s no difference in the services offered based on the time of the course. Longer reservation times simply means having more time to enjoy the services.
Q: Do I have to pick a therapist?
A: You do not have to choose. If you contact the shop and simply ask for a therapist, they will send whoever they have who is available to handle the appointment. You can ask for a specific therapist based on your preferences, but there will be an extra fee applied.
Q: How do I pick a therapist?
A: The therapist’s profile page will have a lot of information about him. You can also read his reviews, which other clients leave behind rating the therapist’s service. If the therapist has social media, such as Twitter, you can also contact the therapist directly and engage in conversation. Please note that whether or not the therapist will engage in conversation outside of making appointments is completely up to the individual therapist, and many do not.
Q: Where do I meet the therapist?
A: Most appointments are performed in a hotel. It can be a regular hotel, or a love hotel. The client is responsible for the hotel costs, as well as basic travel costs for the therapist. Appointments can also be held in a private residence.
The client may choose to meet up with the therapist outside, such as in front of a specific store or landmark, or she may enter the hotel first and direct the therapist to come directly to her room.
Q: I don’t like kissing/fingering/licking/etc. Does the therapist have to do these things?
A: During the counseling session the client will fill out a questionnaire and can talk to the therapist about what she likes and dislikes. For example, it is entirely possible for a client to have a session with no kissing, no fingering, but a lot of oral sex performed on her. Clients are also free to and encouraged to communicate during the session what they like or don’t like.
Q: Are the therapists clean?
A: Every therapist should take a shower and perform basic hygiene before beginning a session. Also, every therapist should be taking STD tests on a monthly basis, the results of which should be available for viewing by the general public.
Q: Do I have to perform any sex acts for the therapist?
A: No, you do not. You may if so desired, but this is completely up to the client. A therapist should never ask for an act to be performed on him, and if your therapist does such a thing, report him to his shop, and write a review for him warning others about this.
Q: How confidential is jo-fu?
A: The client’s confidentiality is strictly adhered to. The usage of aliases is supported and encouraged. If communicating through the shop, the therapist will never be given the client’s contact information. Therapists will not ask for contact information, nor share any information given to them to others under any circumstances.
Q: How do I pay for the services?
A: Cash and credit cards are the most commonly accepted forms of payment.
Q: Are there any female therapists?
A: Yes, some shops may have a female therapist on staff, and there are shops that specialize in services by women for women, called lesbian jo-fu or lez jo-fu.
Q: Does jo-fu accept foreigners/provide support in English?
A: Although jo-fu is a rapidly-growing industry, as of right now there is not a significant awareness for foreign clients. You can try contacting the shop, or the individual therapist you are interested in, to see if they accept foreign clients, and/or provide English support. Theoretically if you do not understand Japanese but know enough to be able to make a reservation, fill out the counseling sheet, and don’t mind not being able to converse with your therapist, you may be able to enjoy the services.
If you have any questions, or need any help, please do not hesitate to contact me, and I will do my best to help you to enjoy jo-fu.
