I am confused, you said you have seem the opposite, then went on to explain that there is no prostitution in host bars. That is what I said. It is very rare to have anything above a massage (ie light flirting)
What is opposite?



again that is what I said, the places of actual prostitution are the SE women in low class establishments.

Hostess bars are not places to look for sex. There are no "champagne rooms" in the back where you can expect sexual relations. Everything happens in the open, and that is flirtatious conversation with essentially no chance of sexual activity. Girls that have sex with their customers lose their jobs, because the customers stop coming back... they move onto the next one.

These are considered to be in a completely different category as pink salons, massage parlors, or soaplands, where the point is sexual activity (though legally not "all the way".) There is nothing to be ashamed of by going to hostess bars, and I often went with colleagues and friends, both male and female. Does that clear it up a little?

For example, if a client calls a Delivery health and has a girl come to his house, I doubt that the police can enter his home on the suspicion that penetration is involved.

Or take a place like Tobita Shinchi in Osaka. One of the biggest red light districts in Kansai where there are around 200 prostitutes sitting in front of their tea houses dressed in various attire. You can walk up to any of them and ask them what's included and they'll tell you straight up that, "ここは最後まで出来ます".

And yet there's a Koban located just a hundred meters away.

I have been in that district, too, and I think it is a bit of a special case, as I heard it has some kind of historical designation, as it has existed as is for so many hundreds of years.

Though, I agree, it would be hard to enforce the "no penetration" law.
