Would Japanese Guys "Rent" a Girlfriend?

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

I forgot to mention, but 'rental girlfriends' don't offer any sexual service, which is kind of the point. (Japan offers a wide variety of sexual services for those who look for that kind of stuff.) The focus is on spending time together a date and that's why some -- although very few at the moment--- guys use it.

[@kjt7971]

That Japanese Man Yuta So, in fact, it follows the surface ideal of the American Escort services. I mean, Escorts are not SUPPOSED to engage in sex with clients, but it happens. I would like to think Japanese women as being more professional than American women. And not turn it into proxy prostitution. I woupdnt do it. I have too much pride to do this.

[@SomeBody-ce3gq]

I wonder if Japan offers sexual services for women as well? Or is it just for men?

[@malenalucero6473]

Omega Rasetsu I don't see anything wrong with those women charging for sex. I mean, when you pay for their time, a portion goes to the people running the company, but when it comes to prostitution per se, I'd rather the woman doesn't give any porcentage to anyone. I think that no one should profit from prostitution but the woman herself.

[@kjt7971]

Malena Lucero Prostitution is illegal. I am a moral consequentialist. This means, morality is based on the consequences of the action. By default, any illegal activity is consequentially immoral. If you dont like the laws, you dont need or break the law, you change it, with the ballot box, in a western style democratic election, via petition. As long as it is illegal, then I have an issue with the activity. Now in a place like Nevada, where it is legal, I see no issue with it. That is the difference.

[@eXtreamAngel]

Yeah. Just making a video and I need a footage to add in background of a "Ret a girl" service in Japan.

[@koyspencer8031]

Similar scenario here in China. Though the difference might be that a Chinese boy would rent a girlfriend only when his parents nag at his nerves for not getting married. So the rent girlfriend would visit the boy’s family and pretend to be in a relationship with him, whose parents would thus feel happy and quit being gabbers. 😆

[@alexilskate21]

that's what's interesting about this subject.

[@GunterThePenguinHatesHugs]

Man that's interesting, it really gives context to when my Chinese friend always tells me how his parents are always nagging him to get married and have grandchildren! x'3

[@koyspencer8031]

Yeah...It's kinda sad actually when you think about how bored the elderly must be to force their children to get married, I mean, don't they have anything more interesting to do? And the young people are upset about this too.

[@f.j.9391]

Aren't those called escorts here in America?

[@koyspencer8031]

F. J. Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren't call girls sex workers？The chinese version of rent girls are only for fooling your parents so that they can stop getting under your skin. Those girls don’t offer sexual services or romantic companions 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️

Again a really interesting topic Yuta !

[@enthra1728]

I'd do this, as an introvert, to use as a "practice date." If you have a hard time engaging with strangers to ask them out or something because you're afraid of what to do/how to act on a date and you want a practice run, it'd be a good opportunity. Maybe also in the case of it having been a long time since you last went on a date.

[@MurakamiTenshi]

That curly-haired guy in the beginning looks cute! Where can I find a rental boyfriend like that? ;)

[@billybobblesmith725]

ya know... girls say they like curly hair all the time, but they never follow through. It's actually pretty depressing, just like that whole "tall dark and mysterious" lie.

Tbh from someone who never had a gf due to the lack of confidence I can't say that I can't understand why people spend money on rental gfs just to ease some loneliness but I feel like I'll just get more depressed after the rents are over.

[@shinjite06]

If you're using this service because you have social anxiety how does paying for it make your social anxiety lessened? If anything I imagine the person buying it would just feel more humiliated and self conscious and would probably drop the meeting before even arriving. One of the things I could think of where this service makes sense is if you need to vent your emotions on someone whom you don't know and is being paid the be nice to you and not leave. Or if you need to bring a girl home to your parents to make them shut up for a while about getting a girlfriend.

[@anjuji-dq4qg]

Free

[@Mecks089]

Not only is it a waste of money, it just feels sad in general. Like a Moral low, if I could make a comparison without it being considered objectifying women, it's like instead of winning a trophy, you renting one instead... Doesn't feel the same, now does it?

[@canmex9422]

depends on what you want to use the trophy for. or in other words i see this service being useful for businessmen who need to go on a business dinner but are alone. usually they would hire an escort for such occasions, whoever those women have not even half that rate. or at least that is one of the things one of my ex-coworkers was hired for, while she was an escort. (albeit not very commonly).

So basically a poor man's version of an escort service? I mean, an actual escort service is not cheap. And contrary to popular belief, escorts are not prostitutes, and if a guy wanted to have sex with an escort, it will certainly cost more. One service I seen advertised, costs $45-150 per hour, for the person to go out with you. I have no idea how much extra would it cost for "extra service".... They don't advertise that, and it depends on the person. And most often, they are not there for sex. Never considered it, probably never will.

I might consider it if the agency/business offered certain individuals and services for something like "dating education" in which the "rental girlfriend" actually taught you about dating instead of acting as a date for appearances sake (not saying you couldn't learn that way too though). I have never dated. Not in, or before, high school and not since (been several years). I'm not really thinking about it either at the moment. But If/when the time does come that I feel like I should start having no experience whatsoever could be a detriment to me so having some practice dates, or dating classes, with no strings think could be a good investment before messing something up by leaping in before looking.
