☆ENGLISH ONLY☆コミュのHost clubs, What is the appeal?

I made a big mistake today...
thats right, I watched daytime television.
Anyway, I saw the show about Host clubs in Tokyo.

The various talents etc continually went on and on about how "kakkoi" the guys working there were etc....

I am sorry. I consider myself openminded....but I just cannot see the appeal with these clubs and these guys!

I guess I just want some insight, some opinions, preferably from Japanese women who have actually ATTENDED these clubs....how was it? Fun? did you go back? would you?

Do tell....

Is the question any different than for regular hostess bars where there's no hope of sleeping with the hostesses? Host clubs are just signs of gender equality peeking through... actually, a lot of the host club customers are supposedly hostesses, keeping the money in the water biz.

From what I have seen and read, the most frequent patron of host clubs are hostesses getting off of work. I think they simply want the same sort of attention that they have to give out all day.

I bang hostesses ALL THE TIME. Its so easy. Especially once they get off work and are drunk and horney for some blacktion.

Yeah actually I went to a hostess club with my gym boss, and he was feeling the girls up and got a blowjob so....さぃ… I dont really get what your saying.

LJ...haha...Please continue to do whatever it is that you do in Hokkaido, I hope to see little LJs running around in 10 years

If he was feeling the girls up and getting a bj, it was probably a cheap hostess bar, or more of another type of "water business". There are many levels of "hostess" bars, ranging from the ones with fairly high level Japanese hostesses, to the ones with Chinese or other nationality hostesses that are more like a meeting place to find what you "like".

Anyways, to get on point, the real host bars have a bit different life than portrayed in the afternoon shows. Most of their clients are hostesses off work, and they expect some "action" afterwards from the hosts, whether they want to or not. I'm sure there is also a bit of the same situation that faces the male gigalo - most of the clients are men of a different bent.

Yeah, I have one or two friends that work in Host clubs and I emailed them to give them a hard time after I saw the show....
I think alot of drunk Hostesses with too much money frequent the clubs.

I think in the Hostess clubs, it also helps if your damn rich...perhaps thats why my boss can do whatever the hell he wants.
Also helps to be in the mafia.

i've met a few girls who've been to the foreign boys host club - it's just girls night out for them.

Just a question... just how expensive are host/hostess clubs? ^.^;

Last year, I was in Japan and I also saw the "host club documentary" thing on TV for the first time. I never knew such a thing existed as "host clubs" before. Of course, I knew "hostess clubs".

I've never been to either of them so.. it's just my prospectives, but I think it's a huge difference between "host clubs" and "hostess clubs" I think "hostess clubs"... guys go there for pure SEX and/or meet some sort of sexual fantasies. Contrary.. I think women go "host clubs" to meet their emotional needs... May be "Japanese men/boy friends/husbands" are NOT treating Japanese women well enough. Probably those women are very rich (.. did you see how expensive those things were there..?!?!?) and lonely... They need someone "really" nice to them (because in a real life, Japanese men are not nice enough to Japanese women..!!!) I've also seen in Japan that.. Korean things are "in" right now, right..? especially.. very corny and romantic Korean TV dramas and movies... right..?? Here we go..! Japanese women are longing for some romance which Japanese men haven't given to Japanese women...!!!!

Personally... When I saw those "host club guys" on TV..., they looked like "high school kids" to me. I believe they are.. somewhere between 19-23 years old..?!?!? mostly..?!?!? I guess Japanese look young... VERY young... It doesn't do anything to me even if such "kids" looking guys come on to me...! Besides... Most American men I've known are/were quite romantic (to me, at least..!!) so.. I guess I don't need to pay someone to be nice and romantic.

The similarity for the both (host & hostess businesses) is... both men & women are looking for some sort of "fantasy" (it can be physical/sexual and/or psychological) which may be hard to get in a real life.

What do you think..?

That's the funny thing about Japan - the hosts frequently are expected to sleep with their customers, and those customers do demand it, while the hostesses actually don't have the same level of pressure on them to do so. Although they also sometimes sleep with their patrons as well.

[13] mixiユーザー 07月07日 12:59

Those ladies that frequent host bars regularly are looking for the same thing guys are looking for in hostess bars. No big mystery. What most people need to remember is that women have the same needs as men. The rules of the game are a little different but the game is the same. Women customers expect sex because they know that men are not as protective of their virtues. Sex is not as big of a deal for a man and they all know it. Many of the women that go to these places are hostesses. They are the ones that have the money to waste like that because they are getting it from other men. They have very little time for real relationships and want to cut the crap and get to the main course. Just like men do. Most women just don`t admit it. And I doubt that you will get any to admit it on this site either.

Here's a blog entry posted about Host clubs. It pertains to the documentary I posted a link to earlier.

It doesn't sounds like such a bad job. If I could only attain that stick thin body they all have and put up with having such a gay haircut ...

[16] mixiユーザー 07月07日 17:56

disco,
True, but seems that women like that. Just pick up a magazine sometimes. You won't find buff, hairy GAIJIN or even Japanese buff men! These magazines are created by women, so don't knock it!

[17] mixiユーザー 07月07日 19:41

There are places where women in japan go to see 'you hairy! like animal' men like us- the zoo.

[18] mixiユーザー 07月07日 20:20

.. or Roppongi..

What's wrong with women attending such clubs? =) I don't see anything wrong with it.If there is women providing sex services,why there shouldn't be man doing that? =)
And i think that persons that go to such places just want some new experiences.That's all.
I don't think that the reason is lack of care from the Japanese men. After all this "host clubs",they are not only in Japan.

ps.still,even here,in Russia, i heard that nowadays Japanese women often preffer Europeans to marry, because they're starting to claim attention to themselves.Anyway,i've never been to Japan,so i don't know if it's true. *smiles*
