In the middle of Mariko Shinoda&#8217;s adultery scandal, women&#8217;s sex industry has suddenly become a hot topic.
The popularity of the industry has been gradually increasing since around 2006, and a new book was published last April, which seems to have expanded the understanding of and demand for the female sex industry. According to a major sex industry information website, the number of sex establishments for men in Tokyo was 1,069, while that for women was 136. Compared to men&#8217;s sex, the number is overwhelmingly small, but it is surprising that the number exceeds 100.
In fact, the supply of female-oriented sex establishments is in a state of oversupply. Kent (pseudonym, 24), who has been a female sex therapist for two years, says, The female sex industry is saturated.
Unlike the sex industry for men, there are no separate price ranges, so the competition is accelerating.
Male-oriented sex clubs are divided into &#8220;super cheap clubs&#8221;, &#8220;middle-class clubs,&#8221; and &#8220;high-class clubs&#8221; according to price ranges, and the higher the price, the higher the level of women. On the other hand, most of the sex clubs for women charge around 10,000 yen for 60 minutes, and there is no guarantee that if you pay higher, you will get higher quality therapists than in sex clubs for men. Kent continues.

&#8220;Since they are not differentiated by price range, it is important for us to approach them to get customers to come. Not only do we have to show off the therapist&#8217;s looks, but we also have to update their photo diary (a private diary with photos) to make them want to meet with us. I write about everything from my enthusiasm for my job to how I spend my days off.&#8221;
In order to attract customers, more and more therapists working in the female sex industry are becoming hostesses. Haruka (pseudonym, 32), a patron of the female sex industry, tells us.
 In order to get customers to appoint them and keep coming back, therapists often approach them like hosts. Exchanging private contact information is a cute thing to do, and if I kept on nominating them, they would say, &#8216;I&#8217;ve fallen in love with you, so I don&#8217;t want your money. However, after a few times of free treatment, she asked me to make a reservation for a private session (laughs). (Laughs.) I heard that the total price of a long course would be cheaper, so I bought eight 60-minute sessions for him.
Some customers are so hooked on therapists through such sales that they even start working in the male sex industry themselves to raise money to pay for their visits.
 There are even rumors that some therapists give their clients the key to their homes to make them think they are in a special relationship. Frankly, I think that if they are willing to go that far, they should just work as a host (laughs).

Although the sex industry for women has become more extreme in some areas, there are only a handful of therapists who are successful enough to make a living doing just that. Most therapists are salarymen, students, or dreaming band members who work as a side job. This is also different from the male sex industry, where many women earn a considerable amount of money.
It is difficult to say that the sex industry for women is stable and healthy at present. There are cases of female customers forcing male therapists to perform sexual intercourse, and vice versa. There are even cases of experienced therapists selling information materials such as &#8220;how to make women into sex slaves and make them pay for it.&#8221;
It seems that it is still difficult to be able to say that one can play safely and securely.

 In the wake of Mariko Shinoda's adultery scandal, the "female sex industry" has suddenly become a hot topic. Since around 2006, it has been slowly becoming more and more well-known, and I feel that understanding and demand for it has expanded. In fact, there is now an oversupply of female sex services.
