Sexual services are commonplace.” Illegal services, sex esthetic salons… “Behind the Scenes” of the Confused Men’s Esthetic Industry
On July 16, a men’s esthetic salon “Koakuma Ojisan” was busted on suspicion of violating the Entertainment Establishments Control Law (operating in prohibited areas, etc.), and its owner, a 40-year-old man, was arrested. The store is alleged to have provided sexual services to male customers in a room of an apartment in Higashiyama, Meguro-ku, which is a prohibited business zone.
The man was a major operator of “Koakuma Ojisan,” which operates 13 rooms in Meguro, Shimbashi, Azabu, and other areas. At first glance, the fee for a 90-minute session is a reasonable 14,000 yen, including the nomination fee, but it increases to around 20,000 yen if you add options such as a costume change. The therapist was very enthusiastic in recommending these options from the very first time. The therapists must have made money from the options,” said a sex industry writer.
The exposure of men’s esthetic clinics has become a common occurrence throughout Japan. Two days later, on the 18th, a store in Hakata, Fukuoka, and on July 2, a manager was arrested in Sapporo.
Men’s esthetic salons are exposed because they are not, by their very nature, adult entertainment establishments. Therefore, they can open in areas where adult entertainment businesses are prohibited, but if they provide “sexual services,” they are considered “adult entertainment businesses” and therefore “illegal. However, some men’s esthetic salons are said to operate almost like adult entertainment businesses.
Some sex scouts actively introduce “men’s esthetic salons with extreme service options as “men’s esthetic salons where you can make money. The services offered are completely those of the sex industry, and some of them even say that “the main performance is mandatory”. However, from the point of view of women who have worked in brothels in the first place, such deals are in demand because the services are soft but the money can be earned,” said the same person.
While there are men’s esthetic salons that resemble adult entertainment establishments, there are also “adult entertainment esthetic salons” that actually have a license to operate as an adult entertainment business and do so legally. In addition, soaps and health clubs that claim to offer “esthetic services” have recently emerged. Perhaps it is not surprising that people who have no connection with men’s esthetic salons have the perception that men’s esthetic salons are sex services.
There are also Asian esthetic salons, especially Chinese esthetic salons, which have a long history, although their number has been decreasing recently. Of course, there are also many “healthy esthetic salons” that stubbornly do not cross the “line,” and with so many men’s esthetic salons in the market these days, few people are able to distinguish between them.
