What to expect when using a Health provider?

Finding a Girl

Health services can be found online through foreigner-friendly adult directories, such as

• Tokyo Night Style
• Ekichika Adult Paradise
• Tokyo Erotic Guide
• Yoasobi Heaven

Booking

Most reputable health services will have one or all these contact methods offered as a point of contact.

• Telephone
• Email
• Browser Chat
• Chat Application

The best method is through a chat application on your smartphone, as this is usually the quickest and most responsive outlet that staff prefer when communicating with potential clients, especially when they are using a translator to communicate in English.

For incall services simply make your way to the store and make an appointment on the spot.

Service

Once you are with your provider, the service will start in the shower with her thoroughly cleaning you. Then, you will both move to the bed, where she will begin her health routine, which covers all the essential services and anything else you may have requested in or outside the scope of services advertised until the end of the session.

First time user of Health

• Sex is never guaranteed but can be negotiated as a private agreement with or without tipping, depending on the situation and chemistry you have with the provider.
• Be skeptical of any online review you read as there is no way to gauge the reviewers’ personal benchmarks, which won’t translate into your own experience
• Analyze the providers online presence through blog posts and SNS channels first before booking
