Perhaps due to its generally homogenous and conservative society, Tokyo has one of the wildest and craziest fetish scenes on the planet. The city caters to hundreds of fantasies, from more well-known interests like bukkake, kikkou (bondage), and nyotaimori (eating sushi from a naked woman) to more unusual and problematic tastes such as unagi (inserting eels) and ha daisuki (dental exam), wherein fully clothed women are given a dental exam while (presumably) men watch with avid interest.
The first journalist to expose the world of Japanâs exotic fetish clubs was Joan Sinclair, a photojournalist from San Francisco. While teaching in Tokyo in 1995, she learned of âimage clubsâ where women dressed as nurses, policewomen, and secretaries to provide fantasy services to paying customers. Returning to Japan in 2005, Sinclair spent a year gaining the trust of the workers, managers, and customers of the image clubs in order to gain firsthand access to the world of paid fantasy, as known as fuzoku culture.
She ended up gaining access to over 90 different âplayroomsâ that were elaborately designed to mimic offices, train carriages, and even sexual harassment meeting rooms. According to Sinclair, this isnât underground culture but mainstream culture. Businessmen often bring clients to such clubs to entertain them. They exist in a legal gray zone but are generally allowed to operate if they maintain a level of cleanliness and order.
The clubs are all but inaccessible to foreigners, who are understood to not know the rules, disturb Japanese customers, complain, be difficult to communicate with, and possibly have AIDS. Sinclair found it difficult to gain access as a foreign woman but got an in through the editor of Tokyo Soapland magazine, for whom she took photographs of various âsoaplandsâ with themes like traditional, wedding, policewoman, harem, and âKorean woman.â She even wrote a column for the magazine entitled âThrough Her Blue Eyes.â
I must admit the below photo does look rather appetising.

Japan boasts some of the most technologically sophisticated sex dolls in the world. These so-called âdutch wivesâ are made from the highest-quality silicone material with extremely lifelike eyes and skin. Many are customizable and fully jointed. According to Orient Industry spokesman Osami Seto, âThe two areas we identified as really needing improvement were the skin and the eyes. We feel we have finally got something that is arguably not distinguishable from the real thing. The dolls are part of a high-tech industry in Japan, which is constantly looking at ways to make sex toys as realistic as possible.â
What happens when the sophisticated Japanese sex doll industry combines with the equally sophisticated Japanese robotics industry? The first sex robots were developed by New Jersey company TrueCompanion back in the 1990s, but the Japanese are likely to catch up fast.
In 2014, disposable male sex toy manufacturer Tenga unveiled a device that combines robotics with virtual reality to simulate sex with an animated woman. Viceâs Brian Merchant wasnât too impressed: âThe creepiest thing about all of this wasnât even the robot handjob, but the melancholic submissiveness of the avatar theyâd rendered. I felt empathy with the character, but not the kind I was probably intended to.â Tenga CEO Tsuneki Sato was more bullish, calling it âthe future of masturbation.â
Not all the technology to digitize sex necessarily involves only one human participant. In 2011, inventors at Tokyoâs Kajimoto Laboratory developed the Kiss Transmission Device, which allows people to French kiss over the Internet. You hold a plastic straw attached to a rectangular device to simulate kissing, which is then transmitted to another participant with the same device. It is even possible to record kisses for future enjoyment.
Researcher Nobuhiro Takahashi believes the device could be useful for long-distance couples as well as fans of certain celebrities, who could sell make-out sessions through the device. According to Takahasi, âIf you have a popular entertainer use this device and record it, that could be hugely popular if you offer it to fans. [However,] the elements of a [real] kiss include the sense of taste, the manner of breathing and the moistness of the tongue. If we can recreate all of those, I think it will be a really powerful device.

Geisha
While geisha arose from the courtesan world, during the Edo period they established themselves as part of the entertainment class and were never prostitutes themselves.
Note that prostitution was legal with proper licenses during the Edo period. These were held by oiran and lesser prostitutes, but geisha were strictly forbidden from holding such a license.
So how did we come to consider geisha prostitutes? The answer is simple. Allied forces engaged in prostitution with girls dressed as geisha roaming the streets during the occupation after WWII. Not every girl that wears a red dress is a prostitute and not every girl with a white painted face is a geisha. Soldiers went home to America and spread the news about how they âgot themselves a geesha girlâ, when they had actually been with a prostitute.

Historically, Geishas were entertainers, who entertained paying male clients with song, dance, music, etc. while those clients were getting drunker and drunker, until it was bed time.
In scholarly circles, the idea that Geisha never ever offered sex for money to their customers is regarded as ridiculous lunacy. Itâs merely another âunique Japanâ myth only perpetuated by the uneducated or die-hard nationalists.
It is a fact that one facet of the Geishaâs job was to âprepare the bedâ for the client, i.e. preparing the futon in the clientâs private room. But one has to understand that âprepare the bedâ is an euphemism for âgetting under the sheets together with the clientâ.
The Geisha is not explicitly hired to have sex with her customer, but for âentertainmentâ of the customer. But her job serving drunk paying male customers leads to many situations where she will be asked for âmoreâ. It is said that the Geisha then has the choice to say ânoâ, orâŠif she agrees, extend the meaning of the word âentertainmentâ.
