Although the types of services available in a city like Tokyo are endless, this is a hierarchy, going from the least desirable positions to the elite fringes of the sex trade. Found the world over, the street-walker is not unheard of in Japan, and they seem to be one of the lowest rungs on the Hooker Hierarchy.
This allows them to work as much or as little as they need to, operate out of love hotels or their own home, and be able to have some level of selectivity when it comes to the customers they will be involved with.
But the reality is in a one-to-one encounter gone wrong with a john, these women have no support. In addition to this, they are easy targets for police who can stop them on the pretense of checking their identification, search their belongings and then easily detain them. Street walker income can vary wildly due to various factors. Prices ranging from as low as 6, yen per hour up to 15, yen per hour are standard and can be found in various locations. Their income is largely based on how attractive they are, how aggressive they are and how well they can close prospective johns.
We have mentioned it before , so this category should come as no surprise. The internet, and the Japanese media, continually claim that in most instances, no sex occurs and the older man is simply paying for time with an attractive young girl. Enjo Kosai, has been around for sometime, but it truly exploded with the importation of internet culture in Japan. Now, anyone can get involved. Men looking for these girls can reference websites like this one. Girls who want more cash can simply join a website.
Three risks are clear. First, the john could be an abusive lunatic and the girl has no help to call other than the police, and that leads to risk number two; being exposed.
