exactly. you're gonna have to pay a good amount of money to get the services you want. i didnt say it was horrible...just a complete waste of money. if youre a gaijin in japan, moreover, western looking, you will have no problem finding people to talk to. i dont know the prices of some of these places, thats something you need to find out when you go. make sure you completely understand the pricing system so that you arent surprised when you get the bill.

bottom line - honestly, just save your money. if you really want to experience it, i would say go for it. but dont make it a habit or anything like that...
