It sure as hell is, and one of the main things that makes the adult entertainment industry in Tokyo so different from any (of the many) other places I have visited and partied around the world is the incredible, mind-boggling diversity of different types of services and activities available on the market. As I am sure you can vouch, mermaidnz, a major Tokyo entertainment district (like Roppongi or Shibuya or Akasaka or Kabukicho for example) contains an enormous number of small nightlife establishments. Many of these would be familiar almost anywhere in the world - simple bars, nightclubs, karaoke places, strip clubs, massage parlors, straight out brothels and so forth. However, as you may not yet have had the opportunity to discover, mermaidnz, many of them are also more specialized and creative and offer all sorts of limited but imaginative sexually-oriented services to their customers.Originally Posted by mermaidnz
Just to give one example - quite near 7th Heaven and the other Roppongi clubs, there is a "kissing club" where, for roughly the cost of 1 or 2 lap dances at 7th, you can spend a half hour or so with an attractive young woman. Around half of that time, maybe a bit more, she will just sit at a small table with you and chat/flirt; then the lights go down, she takes off her top, sits in your lap and basically makes out with you like you were both in high school (deep french kissing, heavy petting above the waist and maybe some groping through clothes below the waist) for 10 or 15 min until the lights come up again. I should add that it is not a unique place; there used to be a lot of them a few years ago when "kissing clubs" were sort of a fad, but there are still a bunch around I think. The women working in them are all Japanese, in my experience, and a guy probably can't get in, or fully enjoy the experience even if he does, without speaking the language at least a bit. And this is just an example, one of my favorites to be sure, but there are endless other types of places.
Anyway, my point it that the existence of all these other options at comparable prices in the same market probably puts a lot of pressure on dancers at gaijin stip clubs to be as permissive as they can tolerate being in order to attract and hold onto customers.
