Disabilities

[Graffybold]

Simple question. I know a lot of places don't serve gaijins, but realistically what are my chances of being served as a gaijin with a physical disability (missing right leg to be specific)?

Also, in general how welcoming is Japan to people with a disability like mine? Should I be looking at Japan as a place to visit or another country?

I'm sure if you're polite and can speak some Japanese, anything is possible. I'm sure you're not the only in Japan with a disability. Being polite and courteous in Japan can do wonders.

Unfortunately, many shops simply refuse to service people with disabilities, full stop, but there are also delivery health places that specialise in disabled people.

There's also the issue of accessibility - many shops are accessibile only via stairs. My regular place is a 4th floor walkup....

 

[joeking]

Delivery would probably be your best bet, especially if there was a relatively English fluent operator. Japanese providers might have a Kawaii so attitude that would translate to better service? Check out the reviews for places with operators who speak English. If you lay out the situation you might benefit.

I think thats for people with stuff like CP mainly.

Should be fine, no better or worse than other developed countries.

Nope, BRK amputee buddy (Japanese) also gets turned away. Doesn't make sense to me, his third leg functions just fine....

For people with CP and the like, there's actually a volunteer service called White Hands that goes around and takes care of their needs on request.

I meant the disabled deriheru is aimed at people with CP not at amputees.

They work with amputees too, the same pal is the one that told me about them.

Wow, so i can cut of a limb and get free hand jobs?

 

[Sudsy]

The disabled deriheru and the White Hand Society aren't the same thing... but yeah, in theory.

 

[Frenchy]

Lol! I thought exactly about the same thing

 

[MikeH]

Lol! I thought exactly about the same thing

You guys are not thinking it well enough. The price of a handjob in Tokyo is so low you never recover the initial cost of the amputation.

And for those who insist of doing it themselves I would remind you can do that with the handjob too.

That is disappointing. Guess I'll just have to try, maybe eventually I'll find one that'll be fine with it.

As for accessibility, right now I mainly use crutches, I can get up and down stairs easily enoug. Hoping to have a prosthetic leg before I do travel anywhere. Maybe showing them my cool (very expensive) robot leg will be enough for them to do business with me.

maybe. In any case please don’t feel bad if there is rejection: it can happen for many reasons, not necessarily handicap -related. Wishing you luck!

Majority of buses and trains are wheelchair accessible. Remember Japan has a significant elderly population, so there are wheelchair accessible elevators in train stations I’m sure you’ll enjoy your time.

In the past I’ve met a wheelchair using client and a few clients who used crutches, from what they’ve told me there are accessible rooms in hotels but it can be a hassle to book them. Mainly because some hotels don’t offer support in English and it’s not possible to choose the right room on an English booking site if you’re not booking the hotel directly. I’m guessing maneuvering a wheelchair in a tiny business hotel room is not on your list of concerns since you rely on crutches. Bathrooms often have handles to support your body weight, again as a result of the aging population. Toilet seats in a standard room may not be ideal for people with reduced mobility. I’d highly recommend to find a hotel with English support that can help you navigate through these details.

Others have answered your question about accommodating disabled clients. It doesn’t make sense to me to deny service to amputee clients but well, it’s one of the rules of Japanese sex industry that doesn’t make sense I guess.. as long as you can roll to the side or sit on your own in bed etc I don’t see any reason why ladies won’t see you. Anyways, I know other independent ladies also met my disabled client(s) so that could be one way to go.

While I don't have much experience with this specific topic, I would imagine that your biggest hurdle is going to be your lack of Japanese communicative skills, followed by your non-Japanese ethnicity, followed by any number of other challenges that'll come up with your lack of knowledge of and experience with Japanese culture and P4P, and then perhaps any physical disability. Japanese tend to be extremely intolerant of mental disabilities (just watch their faces when a retarded kid gets on the train near them) but I don't ever recall any negativity directed toward those on crutches or in wheelchairs. Shit, you get your own special seating section on any train. Besides, assuming you're on a prosthetic, money will have already changed hands by the time your pants come down and you spring the surprise, and Japanese tend to be so nerdy and fascinated by mechanical shit that the girl might get a kick out of it. If she's open-minded enough to fuck a foreigner, which is a stretch in Japan, her open-mindedness probably doesn't end there.

For the time being, I wouldn't worry about it because you probably won't be allowed to enter the country for quite some time. And if P4P is all you're after, there are far better, cheaper and easier countries to visit. All of my friends who did years in Japan prefer the P.I., any day of the week.

I'm not off just to get laid, but if the opportunity is there, I'm gonna take it.

As for those other barriers. Yeah, I'll probaly need to figure something out. I know the tiniest bit of Japanese, enough to ask for directions or thank someone but nowhere near enough to hold anything remotely close to a conversation. I've almost never spoken in Japanese either so getting the words out will also be a problem. I know a bit about Japanese culture too, enough that I shouldn't put my non-existent foot in it. I don't know a single thing about the Japanese sex industry though, but a common theme in most sex industries is you pay first and usually you put the exact amount in an unmarked envelope.

I'll research what I can and learn what I can. Not just to get laid mind you but I've come into a lot of money just recently and haven't done much with my life, so I'm going to take the opportunity to expand my horizions.

That sounds like a very prudent plan. Again, if you're set on Japan then the single biggest hurdle you're going to face is lack of communicative ability. Since you can afford it, why not hire a private tutor? It's not like Japan will be welcoming back tourists anytime soon, so a few months of private language lessons would pay huge dividends once you're able to land in-country. And not just in P4P.

I'm not going to ask for any details about the recent good fortune, but if you're talking high-six-figures to seven, do keep in mind that there many, many past-their-prime Japanese women (+30s) who would be very, very receptive toward the chance at living back in your country (you sound American) in your owned home in a decent neighborhood, not having to work (or work very hard), being given a nice car (Lexus is a winner) and platinum credit card and right there you've got a permanent live-in slave to do your housework, tickle your nuts and tell you how handsome you are, all on command. And they'd probably be eager to show you just how enthusiastic they are about the opportunity during early auditions (date night). Just something to think about.

I lost my leg due to medical negligence and sued for it. I'm also from the UK.

I wont be going anytime soon, I still got a bunch of stuff I need to do related to the recovery before I can realistically travel anywhere. In that time I could learn some Japanese, not like I have much else to do.
As for women in their 30s, that is my age range. Once thing I've noticed by checking out a bunch of websites is girls in their 20s are all cute, but once they hit 30 they're sexy as hell. I know those pictures are photoshopped to hell, but gimme sexy over cute any day of the week. Not sure I want to go on holiday to Japan and come back with a wife thoug.

Ouch, sorry to hear about that. It sounded like a legal settlement. But if you prefer girls 30 and up, there are going to be all sorts of opportunities. Japanese girls are far easier to tolerate once their 20s are over; at the same time, however, the ones who are still single at 35 tend to have some sort of fundamental emotional/psychological issues. But if it's just P4P and you're not looking to bring back any trophies, that's not going to be much of a problem. And generally speaking, the older the girls the more open-minded they'll be toward foreigners--not because they particularly favor them but because the average lecherous, pedophile Japanese salaryman prefers girls barely out of puberty and older girls can't be as choosy.

I'm actually at the age where I'm starting to eyeball 40-something housewives. Not sure if that's a good thing or not but it is more economical.

Anyhow, good luck with the language lessons. If you're going to get a prosthetic, particularly one of the types I've seen on combat vets here stateside who've lost legs in war, definitely get it sooner than later so you can get the hang of it. I've seen guys who you can barely even tell were amputated below the knee until they lift their jeans up. And Japan, Tokyo in particular, is a fast moving place. You'll want to be able to move quickly from the second you step off the plane. Getting around Tokyo station on crutches will not be enjoyable. I figure the Japanese government will have to start letting tourists back in by spring if they want any hope of salvaging their Olympics, and by that time our countries (U.S. and U.K.) should have plenty of access to vaccines, particularly with our Moderna and your Oxford/AstraZeneca coming very soon. That's three or four months of practice. Just be sure to practice pulling your pants off, as well.

Personally, I like gyarus and office ladies. But I'm not so fussy I will refuse everything else. I just prefer sexy over cute.

As for the prosthetic, it'll be an entire leg prosthetic. I'm getting it for free thanks to free healthcare in the UK, but these things cost as much as a car (the one I'm getting would cost around £25,000 or so if I had to buy it). It is electronic and has microprocessors in it to help make walking easier and look more natural. I'll be getting a whole lot of practice in because these things are hard to use (they say for every joint you lose they double in difficulty to use, and I've lost my ankle, knee and hip joints). I'll probably never walk like a normal person again, but the leg will help me get as close to it as is possible with modern technology.

The plan to go to Japan however is still in it's early stages, still got to recover, need to learn to walk again and the whole corona virus thing. Learning some Japanese and etiquette is also going to happen at some point. I probably wont be going until the end of this year or even the beginning of next year. Then I've got to actually figure out how I'm going to get me and 2 other people there, where we will stay and so on. I've never flown anywhere before, this is all new to me.

As for getting my pants off, my waist went from 32 inches to 29. My pants practically take themselves off now!

If you can read Japanese, use search keys 障碍者　風俗 or ハンディキャップをお持ち　ソープ. You can find quite a few providers which are accepting people with special needs. It's not an established area like in Australia, but the market is growing (with another target group - elderly) and lucrative that service providers cannot ignore. However, for your case, I'm afraid, the issue is language.

That is good to know. I'm listening to audiobooks right now to learn a bit of Japanese. Not gonna lie, I'm not a very smart fellow and learning to both speak and read in another language is gonna be tough for me, so I'm gonna start with trying to speak a bit of it. At some point I'll look into lessons but I live in a place with a tight lockdown right now (and it's just a small town) so that isn't an option right now.

But I know one thing for sure, I'll be memorizing those words/phrases you posted.
