In a lot of the world, women turn to prostitution out of poverty or childhood trauma. In Japan girls turn to prostitution out of desire for the latest Prada handbag.

Sex is a major industry here, with snack bars, pink salons, and fashion health stores EVERYWHERE. Here in Osaka there is even a blowjob bar in the building next to a McDonalds. Talk about Capitalism at its best.

Many girls start out doing "Enjo Kosai", or schoolgirl prostitution, and later work in the sex shops. There are areas near certain train stations that are known as hangouts for young girls looking for extra cash. This is how I discovered something special about a student of mine.

I am an English teacher here in Osaka, and one the way home after a few beers with the guys, I was passing by one of the areas where girls hang out looking for older men to spend money on them. To my surprise, I spotted a young student of mine standing in front of Nankai Namba Station.

Well, of course I stopped to say hi, she is a cute 18 year old so I am always going to be friendly. We talked for a few minutes, and when I asked her what she was doing out so late, after 11PM on a schoolnite, she got real shy. It was then that I realized she was out for more than a nite with her friends.

I asked her if she was looking for some money to go shopping and with a grin she said yes. Since we only had an hour till the final trains, I arranged for her to come to my house the next day.

When she arrived after school she was in her uniform. Now I may be a perv, but there is nothing sexier to me than a girl in one of these navy blue uniforms and loose white socks. In Japanese I am a "Sukebe Ojisan" or dirty old man, but I can't help it.

She came in and as soon as the door closed she put her arms around me and kissed me strongly. It didn't take long for us to strip down and retreat to the bedroom. Sex with her was wonderful, and she was EXTREMELY tight, her body only a little over five foot if that and so petite.

Afterwards I found out I was only her fourth partner and second Enjo Kosai. She said she was glad it was me that came up to her. We never mentioned money, and when I gave her 20,000 yen (which is lower than the normal amount which runs 30-50,000 yen) she was quite happy. Since then we have arranged to meet once a week for 10,000 yen a time, a hell of a bargain.

Now, the fact that I am gaijin, a decent looking guy, nice to her and already had a relationship as her teacher prior to this probably made the weekly meetings at this rate possible. Also, she probably doesn't want to meet strangers to do this, and the weekly income from me is a heck of a deal since she doesn't have to sleep with half drunk salary men. So don't expect being able to get the same deal, I just got lucky.

But it is quite possible to pick up a young girl for fun in the 20-50,000 price range if you know where to look and can speak minimal Japanese. If you can read a little, which I am learning, you can even go to a few telephone clubs and exchange emails over your cell phone and hook up that way.

I am just glad that I was able to set this up. In Osaka, the best place to look is in Umeda, Tennoji and Namba. In Tokyo it is Shinjuku, Roppongi, and Harajuku.

Remember that in Japan it is illegal to have sex with someone under 18 for money, even if it is widespread, so try to find a girl who is at least 18. Use your own judgement on this.

Damn Captain,

You are my hero.

Any of your other students interested in making some extra money?

I live near Tokyo and I speak a little Japanese. I can't read it though. What's a good way to get into one of those phone clubs, or if I go to Shinjuku or Harajuku, what's a good way to tell an approachable girl?
