The fact that the teahouse-brothels did actually serve tea led me to imgaine a teahouse where they end up actually selling such good tea where people go to buy some without even ordering the main service. Something like that probably happened at least once.

If i ever was in the money and area and shit and mood, id only visit something like this for the food/tea and if i decided to be kind and "hire" a patron, id just talk to them and hang out and shit.

Let's Ask Shugo and other people covered Oiran. And as it turns out they were highly respected. Chose to sleep with anyone or not at the end of the day. And also was visited by very regal people and were huge historians of usual nonbias and were often holders of many secrets. They're talents were through the roof too. Not to mention even today Geiko do events from time to time with those keeping the traditions of the Oiran Alive. You can even experience them in Japan and its a rather amazing experience. Most people end up feeling rather daunted by their caliber of character.

[@whatisthis1958]

​​@@Makkaru112Old comment, but if an oiran had a choice on if she slept with customers or not it depended on her rank. There were several ranks of oiran, three if I recall correctly. Highest rank had a much higher degree of choice, but was ultimately still tied to her brothel and had to literally pay for her elevated status, so had to accept customers eventually. This rank also had the most ceremony and were the ones who wore date hyogo. The rank below that had some choice but same story as the highest rank but less likely to reject a customer. And if I recall correctly, the lowest rank either didn't have the ability to reject customers at all, or had limited ability to do so. It's been a while since I brushed up on the subject.

Yeah but that's true if anyone who had sex ever before antibiotics. Unless you were truly chaste and never fucked anyone but your spouse and THEY never did...you had an STD. Just how sex works without effective treatments or reliable condoms (which even today aren't 100% so DEFINITELY not in the day you had less to work with).

[@sakuram69]

Unfortunately, it is exactly as Saitaina said. Back then, it was just part of life. As far as I’m aware, it was like that all over the world. Anyone having sex had at least one std. unless you were exceptionally lucky and had a truly faithful spouse and you yourself were loyal and kept those legs crossed, you were contagious. Of course during the big witch hysteria it was also a sign of witch craft and, as usual, always the fault of the woman. Back in those days life just sucked

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

@@Saitaina There's a KZbinr I watch who lives in Japan who a few years ago went to have a health exam. He also wanted a syphilis test and the doctor almost tried to talk him out of it with a "why bother, nearly everyone has it" sort of tone. Yikes...I would want to know regardless!

Unfortunately, there weren't many effective treatments for syphilis and ghonnorea until antibiotics. Given how "easily" antibiotics turned out to be, you would think people would have discovered it faster, but I guess it took actually figuring out germ theory to catch on (despite the historical "throw everything at it and hope something works" method).

[@speedmetalmassiah567]

People weren’t in the ha it of eating visibly rotten food

[@Saitaina]

@@speedmetalmassiah567 People eat it NOW. You eat what you do to survive. Also you don't have to eat the mold to recognize that people near the spores are getting well. Spores of many natural antibiotics (and the more evil molds) can have an effect when inhaled. We just take pill and liquid forms now because most are synthetic and it's GENERALLY more effective in the bloodstream. Kind of how we don't chew Willow bark vs taking asprin.

[@EmiStar070]

The historical method arguably worked. It just took awhile to figure out how to throw the right thing the right way.

[@SombreroPharoah]

Nostradamus actually had a rose petal preparation thay was a crude but very effective penicillin extract. This was during The Black Death, bubonic plague (of which he treated with success using the above). Just the formula and efficacy didn't spread far, wide nor fast. Being old timies and all. So Flemming isn't really the father of antibiotics, or Nostradamus atleast is the Grandfather of them. Also germ theory is older than credited. Going back even as far as ancient Hellenic Greece. There were philosophers and physicians who realised "small living things" cause sickness and respond to remedy. Again, just not as widely known and understood as absolutely the fact of the matter. Legit, history of medicine and alchemy, absolutely fascinating how far ahead the curve we've always been, as far as things and knowledge occurring.

[@tombaily29]

Before germ theory they didn't even know what wall to throw everything at.

[@pHo_O]

There is a manga called "Momo to Manji" by (Sakura Sawa) which is one of my favourites. Momo is an ex kagema from a tea house and Manji was an ex fire fighter in Edo. A little bit questionable * but historically accurate*, understandable about characters' feelings, very informative and wholesome at the same time so it's such a fascinating read. The art might not be for everyone but I think it's so beautiful. Highly recommended 💕

@@andromedamessier3176 Yeah they harp onto the catholic church for being anti-sex but given the times I suppose they prevented a lot of rape and abuse simply by insisting on fidelity and that it was wrong to have sex with boys. Of course these things still happened but not like back in the roman era where fidelity wasn't even expected. Of course they didn't especially care what happened to women if they were married or "sinners" but I can see the idea of improvement versus letting the men do whatever they wanted.

People may write these vids off as clickbait for pervs, but it is genuinely fascinating as well as very important to learn about the sexual culture of a certain place and time, especially if that culture is very unique like Japan's was, and still arguably is in a different sense to this day. Sex is, after all, just as much of a human need, impulse, and experience as art, conflict, or any of the other things that are more often talked about in history lessons, and it is really just the prudish christian morality that is thankfully fading away that has excluded this outlook from mainstream history.

Me watching the video not realizing the thumbnail, coming back two weeks later after playing Men of Yoshiwara, and realizes what a perfect choice to use Takao as a thumbnail.

Iv been binge watching your videos for days, the combo of your voice, art work and knowledge is completely addicting lol. Any chance of doing other cultures as well?

I love this kind of channel who teaches us everything about japan ; homophobic weebo are denying this kind of culture exist in Japan . I love japan unbiasedly so I am interest in their history and culture

[@mitskofitzgerald2361]

You call this sort of sickening child abuse 'culture'? It was a form of child abuse, pedophilia. Doesn't have place in todays society, thank god! Look for the real Japanese culture somewhere else which include kindness, beauty, grace, dignity and compassion. OK?

[@s2oop436]

@@mitskofitzgerald2361 it is part of their culture wether you like it or not like how slavery is part of American culture. Those who don’t learn history are doomed to repeat it. You call this pedophilia while we call it history; pedophilia terms just exist recently in the mind of blood thirsty god complex western people.

[@mitskofitzgerald2361]

@@s2oop436 Did I say it didn't happen in Japan's hitory? I know it was happening. Nonetheless, it was a form of child abuse which started in the Buddhist temples with all frustrated males (very un-natural environment in the first place, poor monks), not unlike Catholics institution. So, you call child abuse and slavery 'culture'? That is rather sad.
