Ah Salons- the ones in Korea and Japan are a dream compared to here. Korean salons in China too.- I have been going for over 25 years traveling Asia. Some are like super markets- they parade in 25 girls to choose from, if you do not like they parade in another 15- plus my suppliers always paid so it was great.
Wish they had something minimally close in NY or NJ- from what I hear, very underground if any. But the quality and quantity in Korea is mind blowing, only did Japan twice. The girls in Korea make $$$$$ there was a whole write up in the NYT years ago. different game here obviously- happy hunting
I've been to a wide variety of places in Korea, though some of them not very often. A quick summary of what I know:
- Top End Room Salons, often referred as 10% or "Ten Pro": Very beautiful, intelligent, girls in their teens to early 20s, often studying at elite universities. Room salon setting, picking girls out of a lineup within your private rooms and karaoke with expensive whiskey and food, usually went with groups, often time with work colleagues or for business meetings to expense the very high cost. Light groping and making out, highly unlikely to bang the same night and no guarantee of sex, but if you play it right, they will go out with clients and you can take it from there, for pay or for real. I've gone on legitimate real dates with a few of these girls, under the guise that I wasn't really a monger but an innocent Korean American who got dragged there for business.
- 2nd Tier Room Salons, next level down from Ten Pro: Very beautiful girls in their early-mid 20s, comparable to girls in Ten Pro in most ways but slightly lacking in some way, maybe not as intelligent, classy, or beautiful. Same Room Salon setting, bit more open groping and making out...for example, one of the girls was squeezing my raging hard on and laughing about it and the girl next to her also gave me a nice squeeze...so pretty open atmosphere. Nothing guaranteed, but they might sleep with you the same night for pay...or exchange numbers and date for real. Reminded me of the bunnies in Michael Moore's Roger & Me documentary...Pet or Meat.
- 3rd Tier Room Salons: Progressively lower scale than 2nd Tier, with more obvious plastic surgery and more downscale girls. Guaranteed sex for pay with hourly rooms for sex right in the same building. Same setup as above Room Salons. I never enjoyed these as the girls were not that great, yet the cost was still quite high. I believe the surcharge for about an hour or two of sex was $700-$1000, on top of the cost for the drinks, food, and karaoke.
- Business Clubs: These are all over the place, especially near offices. Often cheesy names like BMW Business Club or Rolls Royce Business Club, etc with loud neon lights. Wide variance in quality of girls, but some have very cute young girls, though definitely not upscale girls. Lacking something, so maybe great body but mediocre face or vice versa. Same Room Salon setup but these girls will do topless dances, blow you (and all your work colleagues!) right there and then in the club, and of course takeout is on offer. I can't recall the price but probably $200-400? My favorite girl I met in one of these was living with her parents, working all night at the business club and blowing half a dozen guys a night and then went home and had breakfast with her actual daddy before he went off to work. Her parents thought she worked at an all night clothing mall (dongdaemoon sheejang), lol.
- Bangkok style brothels: Big room filled with Korean girls in bikinis with numbers on them, behind a huge glass window. Similar to ones you see in Bangkok. Pretty standard, you pick one out, go to a private room and bang. $200-400 I think at the one I went to near GangNam. Pretty nice.
- Redlight Districts: I used to go nuts at the 588 district, the most famous one of all but which has now been mostly torn down. Similar to Amsterdams redlight district with endless numbers of girls in windows with neon lights. When I first went in the early 2000s, it was maybe $50? Last time I went around 2013 or 15, it was maybe $80-100. Amsterdam style 15-30 minute half and half but with BBJ. I still fantasize about prime 588 as there were endless endless numbers of beautiful, very very young Korean girls. I would sometimes pop a blue pill and spend a few hours back and forth between banging an 18 year old stunner, getting a drink nearby as I recover, walking by and waving at the girl I banged previously to bang another girl a few doors down, and on and on. I believe there are a few districts like this still around but nowhere near the lively atmosphere that existed during peak 588.
