Panoramica legale
Penetrative sex work banned under the Anti-Prostitution Law 1956. Many legal grey areas exist (soaplands, fashion health etc).
Nella pratica
Japan's industry is famous for legal grey-area services: soaplands, delivery health, fashion health, image clubs etc. These technically avoid the Anti-Prostitution Law's definition of penetrative sex work. The industry is enormous and visible. Escort advertising is widespread.
