What’s a “hand job bar”? Seriously.
This article in WaiWai (where else?) gives a run-down of the sex industry in Northern Japan and claims that “Aomori Prefecture doesn’t have soaplands, but its massage parlors and hand job bars are doing brisk business.”
Might I have been in one of these places and not known? The shame of it.
Not touching this one with a ten-foot pole, but I don’t think we have any “hand job bars” in Canada! Recommend doing a Google search and observing a hand job porn site then will be obvious what the service is. I think if you were in such a place (only in Japan?) that you would have known it!

There are places you can go to get hand jobs in Canada, or anywhere else in the world, because prostitution itself exists everywhere in the world.
January 26th, 2007 at 5:37 amOf course I know what a frickin’ hand-job is (though it’s not a term I use myself), it’s just not something I would associate with a bar.
The term for hand-job in England is ‘wank’, but a ‘wank bar’ would just mean it was crap and not worth visiting.
I should point out that WaiWai posts on here are somewhat tongue in cheek and shouldn’t be taken very seriously — it’s hardly Yasukuni (next you’ll be saying you can get hand-jobs there!).
January 26th, 2007 at 6:06 amWell, bless my soul–there IS a Wikipedia article! With links to “how-to” sites as well! I think the French sounds nicer though–”frottage.”
January 26th, 2007 at 6:15 am‘Frottage’ is more commonly known as ‘dry-humping’ here, a different matter altogether though. The problem is that it sounds like ‘cottaging’ (obtaining gay sex in men’s toilets) so it’s largely fallen from use.
Though I hadn’t heard of the Japanese word ‘Sumata’ before, which was at the bottom of the entry.
If I ever write a Japanese erotic novel I’ll be sure to consult wikipedia first.

Don’t know why, but i think you’d know. :wink::mrgreen:
January 26th, 2007 at 6:56 amA hand job bar is a filthy place with crappy music were they jack off into your beer before serving it, I believe.
Or maybe its just a place where a prostitute comes with your drink (based on how expensive it is) and they just augment the flavor by pleasuring you in a different place while you chug. Just remember to not be cheap and tip well, or you might leave the place with something to remember
Either way, enjoy
January 26th, 2007 at 7:43 amIts called a fashion massage here in Tokyo. They are very common. They give you a full body massage and then give you a hand job… I’ve never been but i imagine its like anything else… A waste of money.
January 26th, 2007 at 9:18 amThe problem with these topics in general forums is that the people who know about it won’t talk about it, and the people who talk about it don’t know about it.
January 26th, 2007 at 11:14 amBack when I was a big fan of the rock group KISS, I read an interview with Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons about the places that specialize in hand jobs in Japan. Apparently, the Japanese promoters gave all the members of the band coupons to go to these massage places that gave a hand job at the end. Gene Simmons refused to go because he would never “pay” for sex even when someone else was paying for it. He also remarked that he didn’t see the point in having a woman do something that he could do to himself. To this, Paul Stanley said, “if you could do this to yourself, you’d never leave your room.”
The general point was that this was an intensely good experience beyond what most people imagine a hand job to be. It’s interesting because the Japanese take something which is considered the lowest level of sexual service and (supposedly) raise it to an art.

Pre-cise-ly (ie. the point of this post :wink:)
January 26th, 2007 at 7:06 pmAs if the topic has not been beaten to death
I believe they are referring to what is known as a Hostess Bar in Hawaii and th rest of Asia Pacific. You buy your drink and the pretty little hostess talks you into buying her a drink for $20, after buying her 2-3 drinks you get someting more than ‘conversation’ Bring your own hankerchief unless you like rough napkins for the cleanup!
