I’m not going to internet-harass you but the point of the post (i think anyway) was to let people know what you can find/expect. They mentioned the illegal workers but I would guess that explaining just how horrible their conditions are would ultimately turn into a whole new article.

Host clubs aren't the best places in the whole world. They seem to highlight the worst in people sometimes. Have you seen "The Great Happiness Space"? Hosts could be lying to your face and you might not realize it.

I did a feature on host clubs. You can read it at: http://www.mangatherapy.com/post/963839654/host...

"One interesting difference between the “Age of the Geisha” and now is the inclusion of men as servers in Japan’s night time industry."

- Hmm.. one might assume so, but that's not actually true. Men, in the same function as hosts in host clubs today, have served in the same biz _long long_ ago to *both* men and women, usually with the added service of sex, many of whom could also crossed-dress or have feminized or androgynous appearances.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality_in_J...

"Young kabuki actors often worked as prostitutes off-stage, and were celebrated in much the same way as modern media stars are today, being much sought after by wealthy patrons, who would vie with each other to purchase their favours.[12] Onnagata (female-role) and wakashū-gata (adolescent boy-role) actors in particular were the subject of much appreciation by both male and female patrons,"

This was even reflected in classical erotic art:

"Likewise, women were considered to be particularly attracted to both wakashū and onnagata, and it was assumed that these young men would reciprocate that interest"
