Personally, I am worried this will become a worldwide issue. In the past, hikikomori and low sex rate were considered Japanese problems, but are now happening in many other developed countries. There have always been people willing to manipulate others through affection and love. But now they have a platform to manipulate way more people than they previously could. It's a shame.

There is so much industrial development happening around the world, all in the pursuit of a comfortable and happy life. However, it's puzzling why people are not helping each other, why there seems to be a lack of faith, why youngsters are becoming ungrateful, why prostitution exists, and why so many people are frustrated. It's also disheartening to see that ordinary people aren't taking action and always relying on the government. Many issues need to be addressed, and while it's easy to complain, it's much harder to get on the ground and fix them.

This is a very difficult problem. It's like onlyfans, but in this case its affecting girls more than I would have thought. Girls tend to like guys who are f boys or bad boys, while the nice guy is left in the dust. I believe the solution is to go back to valuing a traditional way of life, man is the leader of the house and works while women stay home and supports her man. When society tries to do something different from this, it benefits the minority of people while the majority suffers. These are just my thoughts, and I am open to hearing more solutions.

There is that, but also many men have lost the warrior ethos. They are overly sensitive man-babies. That's why they are more with bad boys. Girls don't want to be abused, but they do want to have rough sex and guys pull their hair and whatnot. The bad boy provides that. Women are wired to be attracted to aggression. Also women like to do things simply because they are naughty. I can't stand the feminized men. Traditional values for men means learning violence, and courage to act in the face of dangerous things. If you can be the violent savage when appropriate, and kind and caring when appropriate, that is what women want. If you have a small penis, you better be exceptionally good looking or exceptionally wealthy. If you are ugly you better have a big dick or lots of money.

I think trying to solve the host problem in Japan itself is like trying to cure a symptom of a disease rather than the disease itself. It doesn't really matter how effective the measures against it are, as the market will either adapt to the new rules and change the approach, or a new scam will develop. If you want to solve the problem you have to zoom out the picture and ask yourself, "Why is this a problem in the first place? What are these woman lacking that gets them susceptible to such scams in the first place? ". Then either try to solve that problem, or zoom out further until you find a root problem, which upon solving it will solve most problems below. But knowing Japan and it's problems, everything is a interconnected like a messy spider web, making solving any problem a much bigger challenge.

Just like a single faulty cog can break an otherwise good complicated machine, sometimes a complicated problem can have simple reason. The reason for lonelines in most people is poor social skills and lack emotional awareness, and to develop those one should have a lot contact with other people since early age. And this seems to be the problem that destroys Japanese society; since early age they have so much mork and social interactions get formalised so early, they just don't have time or breathing space to practice their social skills and emotional awaraness. It gets even worse when they grow up and have to go to work; they have to commute to work, then spend 12-16 hours at work, then go back and don't even have enough time to sleep. This much work and that little time to rest and have own time, could break an otherwise healthy person and then they don't have time or skill for any social interactions. They are bound to be lonely and both mentally and insitutionally unable to escape their loneliness, so they have to resort things like maid cafes and host clubs to get any illusion of companionship. Not like the same problem doesn't occur elswhere. '8-8-8' has long since been an obsolete solution since people don't live just by their workplaces like they used to in XIXth century, but Japan with culture of working over 12 hours a day just puts their people at even worse situation socially.

That money they pay the girl for sex service goes back to the Host , the apex predator. What does the Host do with all that money? Do they have to share it with a Boss?

I remember reading an article by a western guy that got a job as a host in Japan probably like 15 years ago. He said it was hard because he basically had to drink heavily with the guests all night every night to make money so it really took a toll on his health.

You bet it does. Can you imagine what most guys in this video will look like in their 40s or 50s? Especially that one with the spider web tatoo on his neck LOL They're probably too stupid to leave enough money in the bank, so when their looks fade they can't be hosts anymore, but also can't do any other decent work because of their "history"... I guess they'll be the ones who line up in front of pachinko hall shutters in the morning, waiting for the place to open.

Only in japan you have this kind of male host bars / clubs for girls who seeking comfort because of loneliness . So many lonely peoples both old and young even teenagers , the society need to change from work and life to get its balance . Lots of depression peoples because of the unbalanced life made them self isolation some even suicide to escape . Sad to see Japan society heading this way .

As a western man... I feel like this situation we are looking at in Japan is crazy and backwards, and with the other side of the coin - men being the victim of this kind of thing... I think it makes all the evolutionary sense, well.. not quite how things are today, that is clearly to blame on capitalism gone crazy, and the s*x market being so... standardised, and easily enterable... But do you know what I mean? Male libido and how it's easier for attractive women to either go do s*x work, or find a partner they want, no? Like, I do think when I was younger I could have done s*x work if I wanted, but I doubt my clientele options would be as vast as an attractive woman (y'know old women would be the majority of my clientele lol). But... I don't think things will ever go back to how they were before. And it isn't INSANELY bad.. there are still very attractive women doing normal jobs being normal. But it does blow my mind that women in Japan are so desperate that they are falling into traps like this. With male examples in the west... I mean I don't know anyone who took anything any further than paying a cam girl. And I do know some pretty sad dudes lol. But to have sad, lonely dudes makes sense to me. And women can be that way of course. But is dating really not an option for so many women in Japan? We're supposed to bread winners... supposed to be in a good head space. These requirements are getting harder and harder. And I feel like Japan is even traditional when it comes to gender requirements, surely no women should feel pressured into s*x work at the behest of some guy? Do the Japanese just not have the notion that if a guy seems like he's shaking you down for money... just go elsewhere? How are these women so broken. Crazy. It's crazy to me.

I just saw a foreigner youtuber who shared how she decided to make a documentary discussing the "disturbing" phenomenon of both high success rates & multiple number of daily suicides in Japan where people suiciding by throwing themselves onto the tracks of trains arriving at platforms because she recently traveled to Japan & encountered a delay to her train trip which led her to her discovery. She even found previous clips of high school girls recording & sharing live videos on train platform bidding farewell before disappearing as a train arrived. I like many Japanese things, but as I seek to understand Japan more & see more of these soft-white underbelly society issues being discussed, it is beginning to become more apparent to me that the Japanese having high-consideration for others, which made many Japanese super-polite(a good thing), & the strive for excellence & perfection which makes Japanese products reputable for their premium quality, the Japanese culture which helps propelled Japan to its success today, yet at the same time, those cultural characteristics of Japanese society, might also be what is creating such a highly strung & stressful society which makes the Japanese people especially amongst the youths & younger ladies, who are at the age when many of them with lower-self-esteem, would make them inevitably seek words of praise, approval & recognition which they do not easily receive in their normal day-to-day life?

Japan should not have lowered the age of adulthood from 20 to 18. Now inexperienced JP youth can legally borrow money and sign contracts. And it is rather sexist to only protect women. Are women special and unable to protect themselves from predatory men? But men are not special and offer no protection from predatory women? A very complicated problem with complicated solutions. Japan's education system should focus on teaching students actual working skills rather than focus on 2,000 years of history.

I have heard men who brags about constantly changing girlfriends because he has money to do so. It's all a barter system now. Sad but true.
Of course! It's a waste of money that could be spent on one's self and family to build for the future.

If this does not get any better then people will find other means to make money and they will not always do this in a good way. People are more dangerous then we think if the need for survival become a daily struggle. If life was organised differently then people would not have to find other means to make money. And then there is another thing. Not all people are qulified to be educated. Soms are not that smart enough and can become dangerous in this need for survival. Now with all what is happening in the world, it will become worse. And we are looking at it but we are not doing anything about it😢

Of course, it doesn't concern me -- as with most people -- which is why it is so hard for anyone to care, not only about this, but anything. Unfortunately, the only solution for any problem is each group to look out for their own. In this case -- the Japanese. Solutions are more meaningful when they come from within. However I do feel terrible for any victims of exploitation... You can fix it Japan -- let's go ! Thanks for spreading awareness, Nobita !
