It was stated here on TAG in many threads that FS is usually 100% guarantied in soaplands. I always thought that it was just because of initially high prices and it was still a violating of The Prostitution Prevention Law. But I have just found this article that explains that FS in souplands may be a kind of legal thing.

Bellow are some extracts from the article.

Bellow are some extracts from the article.
The Prostitution Prevention Law, enacted in 1957, forbids the act of having “intercourse with an unspecified person in exchange for payment.” It also punishes acts including soliciting by prostitutes and organized prostitution, such as operating brothels.
To dodge the law, soapland operators claim their male clients and their hired masseuses perform sex as couples who have grown fond of each other.
A customer entering a soapland, legally registered as “a special public bathhouse,” pays an admission fee “that holds the pretext as the charge to use the bathing facility”.
The client then is usually asked to pay a massage-service fee directly to the masseuse — giving the pretense that the woman is working on her own and the soapland owner is not running a brothel.
The process also allows the two to be deemed as adults who became acquainted at the soapland.
The law is conveniently interpreted to mean the male customer is having sex with an acquaintance, not with an “unspecified” person in exchange for cash.
“Is it nonsense to deem that the couple fell in love while massaging at a soapland? Yes. But that is how things have operated inside the Japanese legal framework for over five decades”.
