dearmisterecho will love these juicy stories...

Here's more about the world of host and hostess clubs in Asia. I sometimes joke that I should have tried to work for a Taipei host club when I worked in Taiwan.

Ha! Love it, thank you raylovemachine ;) What's hilarious is that one of my homework assignments is to read the first part of a book called "Nightwork: Sexuality, Passion and Corporate Masculinity in a Tokyo Hostess Bar" by Anne Allison.

Have you seen the doc "The Great Happiness Space"? It's about Japanese HOST clubs, and oh-my-god. I feel like I can't completely criticize HostESS clubs because...if I had money to blow...I would totally be at a Host club in a SECOND. I would pick out the prettiest man in the room and fucking SHOWER him with money all night. And you know damn well I'm gonna try my hardest to seduce him after work.

I'm one of those crazy feminists that really do believe women are and can be equal to men in all ways - not just the good ways. The exploitation of women only bothers me because men aren't equally exploited, at least not in the US.

Haha Kate!

I have no problem with what you'd fantasize about doing. *Wink*

No, I haven't seen that documentary, but I would. I did see a Japanese drama some years ago that was about two host club guys and their adventures in a host club. That was the first time I had heard of them.

I don't have a problem with this at all.

Hehe...in fact, something like this HAS happened to me before. But that's another story. *Wink*
