Hi newbie,
For a single guy looking to get action, if you’re looking for one-on-one sex with random girls in my experience 9259 & Retreat are best, and midweek nights are best. Fridays hit & miss, Saturdays high chance of total sausage fest.
Retreat has quite a subdued, conversational atmosphere in the bar, with a physically separate play room and no sex or nudity in the main bar. Most girls who go there are single and many are regulars who go along looking to play. Obviously there are always more guys than girls, and usually the girls will end up taking their pick of the guys available... some might take 2 (or more), but of course some don’t play at all... in short, the maths means lots of guys don’t get to play. As long as you’re decent looking and well presented, if you speak good Japanese you should be able to get action, main thing is to be respectful, relaxed, playful, friendly & approachable. Single girls will often approach and make their interest known, and of course if you think someone’s cute just go and say hello. The play room at Retreat is behind a locked door, and one of the staff functions as the key master on any given night. So in terms of etiquette, you have to pretty clear and invite her to the play room, then you tell the staff you’d like to go through, they always confirm directly with the girl. I think Retreat gets a lot of genuine single female regulars who want to play, because the staff do a good job making them feel safe there, and also because the play room can’t be viewed by random creepy dudes, and if the cops suddenly turn up you’re less likely to be caught directly in the act. So basically, start chatting a girl up in the normal fashion, maybe invite her over to sit in one of the booths together, start talking about sex, and if she’s responding to you, suggest going to the play room. If she’s shy or a first timer, might be better to kiss her in the bar area - when people make out in the bar, the staff will actually soon come over and ask the girl if she’d like to take you to the play room.
9259 has more of a party atmosphere, they play porn on the big screen behind the bar, and you can view the goings on in the play area through little windows. Music’s louder and tends more to rock etc, and people walk around half naked in the bar, and sometimes blowjobs happen in the main bar. In fact every time I’ve been there a girl has at some point got my cock out at the bar. Being a gaijin probably makes this more likely to happen - play along and don’t be shy about it. It’s a much livelier place than Retreat, more fun for drinking, definitely a higher level of drunkenness going on. Etiquette fairly similar, but the play area’s just through a curtain, basically drink in the bar, mingle and chat to whoever, flirt, take them through.
Not much group sex in either place though. I’ve had a 5some (3 on 2) and a gangbang at Retreat, but doesn’t happen that much in there. Sleeping Beauty, however, on the right night, can go off group sex wise, gangbang in the main downstairs bar or whatever. It’s much bigger than other places, definitely a party atmosphere, loud music, tequila shots, sometimes feels a bit sketchy (some dodgy fuckers in there some nights), and sometimes it totally sucks - some of the regular single females seem to be somehow incentivised to be there or something, one time I’m pretty sure I caught a weird look between the girl I was with and the manager behind the bar, like she was getting the ok to play. But when it’s good it’s great, and if you’re particularly interested in playing with couples you’re more likely to find couples looking for MFM in there.
Being a regular definitely helps, especially if you have good rapport with the staff. They will totally hook you up and make introductions if they think there’s a good match e.g. there’s a chick at Sleeping Beauty who works the floor and speaks great English, sees me chatting to a girl will literally come over, get my dick out and give it a squeeze, then say “here you try” and shove it in the other girl’s hand. Works a charm.
Shit, I’m writing an essay, enough for now... will just finish up with saying that Saturdays have always been worst for me, I stopped going. So for your first outing, maybe try Sleeping Beauty or 9259 on a Friday night. Thursdays at Retreat have never disappointed, so try that too. Good luck and let us know how you get on
