I have heard countless horror stories from close friends regarding soaplands, este, deriheru and escorts.
The worst one is probably this...
A friend of mine paid a whopping Y80,000 an hour for this supposed "elite high-end" japanese escort. When they met at the station, she was dressed as casually as she could be. Money of that amount should warrant someone to dress as fabulously as they could, but no, not this woman. She was as casual as your average jane. After exchanging pleasantries, they went straight for the hotel. When they were showering, she was extremely hesitant in performing HJ like she was disgusted by it. My friend wasn't even bad looking, average at most. He wasn't ugly. After the shower, she gave him a CBJ for 2 minutes. 2 freaking minutes. After that, she laid down on the bed and "demanded" him to take the lead and go up top. She was dead and limp. Zombie-like. No moans, no switching positions. Just stuck in the missionary position for the entire duration. She kept looking at the wall clock and asking him if he was gonna cum yet.
He couldn't take it anymore. He came and even with a condom on, she quickly asked him to pull it out and let see the cum coming out of the condom. She was THAT paranoid.
After she received her money, she quickly left. No hugs, kisses or even goodbyes. Just an awkward silence after handing her the money and she leaves immediately.
My friend was devastated. We keep telling him he was scammed. The worst part is, we found the same woman 2 weeks later on the streets of Yokohama, prowling for easy salarymen. We also heard her speaking chinese with a friend of hers.
Welp.
It is interesting to note that he paid AFTERWARD, which is quite unusual. Given that the service was poor for 80,000, perhaps he should have negotiated the payment. Usually Chinese and Japanese speaks English with a different accent. If he is familiar with the accent, he should have been able to tell the background.
