I had a client meet me in Yokohoma so both of us could experience our first Japanese LOVE HOTEL. In Japan LOVE HOTELS are hotels designed and designated for sexual activity. Many Japanese live at home with their parents or family members til way into their 30-40s OR sometimes have roommates that they may not want to share their cross dressing or sex worker habits with. Japan is a very quiet place as far as the people go. The city itself with its lights and announcements and blaring of ad jingles and various other senses is LOUD but the Japanese who have been born and raised here have learned the rules of QUIET. They don't talk on the trains. They hardly walk and talk on their phones when they are in public. Some break the rules and act normal and have an audible conversation and others will pass messages to each other using LINE even when they're sitting next to each other. Japan has made me a much much more quieter person in every way.
Most homes, even with young people observe the LITERALLY UNSPOKEN social order of quiet after 10pm, loud music in headphones only and do not disturb those that are usually in close proximity to you. Japan may be the home of the Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift, but I have yet to hear a lowered flashy fixed up car with a booming bass system that shakes the hairs and nerves of everyone it passes, spinning in a screeching donut for no reason but to get attention. This happens daily in the big American cities, like LA where I come from. Sound is an extension of masculinity/ego and the louder the ride, the more neck breaking you do as you cruise, the better for you (the opposite is true in Japan). The only reason why I can follow some of the rules here is because I didn't bring my home stereo system and the only speaker I have is the one on the back of my Android phone. I did bring my guitar and I sing and strum before 9pm but then I stop because someone, a housemate usually will come downstairs and tell me to stop. I just moved into a house with 4 other guys a couple weeks ago and I haven't had the inkling to bring anyone home yet but if I did...the way I have sex would be so counter culture to quiet Japan, HOWEVER since the disturbance would be sexual I doubt anyone would have the nerve to say anything to me. I guess this is often true in loud ass American sharehouses. How do you tell your roommate or neighbor to stop fucking so loud...or.. do you? The Japanese porn I've watched, the Japanese girls like to whimper and say no constantly, and of course all genitalia is by law required to be pixelated. I fuck like a Western porn star because that's what my brains eroticism was trained on from my early ages of masturbation (started at 5, called phone sex lines and looked at mags at 8), in FACT I have a hard time with non expressive partners because I'm so aurally fixated. If it were a one nighter, I'd actually also probably rent a LOVE HOTEL if I could because my home is a pretty far trek from the train station and central Tokyo so it would have to be someone I was more seriously dating to want to go through the hassle. And renting a LOVE HOTEL similar to the reason couples rent hotel rooms in the U.S is so they can let loose and not give a fuck while they hang from the chandelier and SCREAM AND FUCK (as nature intended it...).
But the JAPANESE LOVE HOTEL is a breed alll its own. And having worked in the client LOVEWORK field for over 15 yrs, I really wished something like this existed in the U.S for us pros.
MOST LOVE HOTELS ARE MADE TO SEEM STAFFLESS. The staff are watching you behind closed doors from a camera, but you don't interact with them to get into your room. Everything is by vending machine. You see a small picture of the room and the price which is either in 3 hr “REST” increments or 8-10 hr “STAY” 3 hrs can be as low as $45 bit remember Japans economy is in the shambles lately and its about 3x the price in any major city compared to Tokyo.
Rooms have different themes depending on where you go. There are notorious ones with higher prices themed for those with rubber/PVC or one that looks like a classroom or inspired by Greece or Taj Mahal.
2 doors in the entry way. The first door opens an entryway corridor where you remove your shoes and see another vending machine, the closing vending machine where you pay your additional cost of any upsells before checking out. And you can't leave the first door until you pay your bill! Upsells include, purchase of cosplay outfits, BDSM gear, sex toys, drinks. All items are DISCREETLY LEFT FOR YOU in this entryway area and you never see who left your 18” dong and gimp outfit and they never see you. And this system is designed for the train commuter as well who can't possibly have lugged a heavy full size gimp outfit in his office briefcase.
Tubs are usually really nice, heart shaped with free oils and salts in the lobby that you can take. Also bottles of lube are stocked down there for you to “rent” i.e put back after your session. (again so perfect for workers!)
Since this was our first time, I needed guidance and had to call the staff for assistance out of their closet offices. They were a bit annoyed with us but hey I had questions. The beds are crappy but though the rate says REST im sure thats not what most people are there to do.
