I don’t want to be touched by a stranger, so I try to avoid body touching by keeping the tension high at the first meeting. Such girls don’t care who they are as long as they can make out with them, so there is little chance that they will nominate me next time.”
Even though it is the first time to meet a girl, she may say, “I will nominate you if you can give me a pillow today,” “I am looking for a boy who can have a threesome with a host I nominate,” or “Can we go to a hotel? She says she sometimes receives such straight-forward comments.
At a previous store, a customer who entered the VIP room for the first time asked another host, “How far can you go in here? I once encouraged him by showing him a wad of cash in my wallet. Then, he left the VIP room alone with me and went to ……. As expected, he did not go all the way, but he said, ‘I played with his hands a little and he gave me 400,000 yen.
In fact, this kind of pillow talk is unique to host clubs. In fact, this kind of pillow talk is unique to host clubs. Compared to cabarets, which are also used for business entertainment and casual drinking, host clubs have an overwhelmingly large number of one-person customers who are in love with the host.
Some of the hosts who are selling idols are very successful, but most of them incorporate pillow sales as an extension of their sexual love. The purpose of pillow sales is to satisfy the customer’s need for approval, saying, ‘You are sexually attractive,’ rather than to satisfy the customer’s sexual desire.
This is a business in which one must admire the sexual attractiveness of a partner in order to praise (praise) him or her. While requests from customers are tacitly accepted, sexual harassment from hosts to customers is strictly prohibited. Recently, some stores have been conducting sexual harassment training for their hosts.
One of the hosts in charge of my store did it. I think it was called “first-time training.
Erika (21) is a cabaret girl who goes to a host club.
Even young girls usually ask, ‘Do you have big breasts? Even young girls usually ask me about my bust size or something. Some of them really think it’s a compliment, so it’s really nasty. Most of the host’s customers are cabarets and prostitutes, so it is even more annoying when the host, who is paying for the service, is sexually harassed on the same level as the customers they usually serve.
In particular, many hosts sell themselves on their good looks, so they compliment the appearance of their customers. Some girls are happy about it, but for women who are tired of being compared on a daily basis, it’s just plain offensive.
The skill of successful girls is to know whether or not to be pleased by such sexually harassing customers, but newcomers who are still inexperienced receive customer service training at the store. In the training, successful hosts and female customers who have a trustworthy relationship with the store serve as instructors, who tell the newcomers to “compliment their sense of style, not their looks,” and also teach them NG words such as “You have big breasts,” “You have a sexy ass,” and “You seem to have a strong sexual appetite.
While being careful not to sexually harass the hostesses, they satisfy their clients’ need for approval, sometimes even resorting to pillow talk. Even in the seemingly lawless Kabukicho, compliance is budding.
