As with any working guys, things can happen if there is mutual attraction, physical or monetary. Perhaps, its much easier to "date" one of the guys in host bars than say random guys we found in restaurants or construction site? Hehe. I stopped pursuing my beach chair attendance at pattaya when he is attached, sadly to a girl lol If we are thinking about the same place, then Fake club is huge (1000 square meters) and is primarily a dance and entertainment venue for a younger crowd inspired by Korean aesthetics. Men do parade on stage and bartenders do invite you to invite some of them for drinks. The vibe is completely different from the Silom shops, with perhaps the exception of GASS. It is possible to arrange something after hours if the chemistry is right. pong2 1 Quote

The reason is twofold. First the best known Tokyo ones are in Shinjuku's Kabukicho district where they are virtually all for young girls. More importantly, you'll need several credit cards and thousands in the bank - of $$ not ¥! The whole point of these bars is not to get close to a girl outside the confines of the bar and not to have sex with the customers - although both occasionally happen. The aim is to develop a relationshp with a girl who will come back to spend time and oodles of cash on booze with you as often as possible. As a host on one youtube video says "These bars are creating Disneyland for customers and they end up believing they need to revolve their whole lives around this Disneyland." This vdo below has been included in these columns before. So it is slightly out of date. It features the No. 1 host in Japan about 7 years ago, but the principle is exactly the same today. The video starts off with the host arriving at his bar in a new white Lamborghini, a present from a customer. Cost? Probably around US$370,000! He makes tons of cash every month from commissions on the huge mark-ups on premium booze. One 19-year old girl who technically cannot drink alcohol in Japan gladly tells the camera that the most expensive bottle of booze she bought in the bar was a Magnum Decanter of Louis XIII Cognac. For this she paid US$110 - in cash! "One 19-year old girl who technically cannot drink alcohol in Japan gladly tells the camera that the most expensive bottle of booze she bought in the bar was a Magnum Decanter of Louis XIII Cognac.

And im pretty sure those jupiter guys will go with customers after bad closes? Hehe If you search Oasis Ent Club on any of the social media platforms you will find it. TikTok has more videos. Here are the videos with Jupiter guys. I’m sure you will recognise them. I’ve never actually seen guys go shirtless like this in any other host bars, they’re usually all dressed up. I can understand why they try their luck, it does seem alot more fun for the boys than a regular Patpong bar with mediocre entertainment and mostly foreigners. v14044g50000d4pmnffog65ijc2ot1jg.mp4 v1c044g50000d538qvnog65qkoke6um0.mp4 v1c044g50000d50qajvog65k8rcb0id0.mp4 v14044g50000d5l497fog65ut65l37og.mp4 spoon 1 Quote

But in ¥ terms, given the devaluation of the curency it is probably no more expensive now. You could always try it and see! 😵 Quote
Travelingguy Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago These guys make their money drinking with the clients which is actually less healthy than sex work. At least sex workers can take PREP and use condoms. Olddaddy 1 Quote

If none of the hosts are able to be taken off for some fun, then it doesn't interest me all that much. Cannot see the value of paying money just to have someone sit with me for a drink. Just my take on the situation. You must be one ugly MF having to pay for it all the time considering you said you were in your 30's Quote
