Don't understand this, why would you want to sleep with real girls?

I guess the first one was such a big success that now everyone wants a piece of that pie.

Eh, isn't that bit too tame for a Kabukicho service?

That's a lot of money for such a low-risk venture with little actual work to do, assuming the customer isn't a potential danger to one's safety. I could see stressed out salaryman who don't want to attend pink salons try this type of place.

I'm not sure I understand the concept. Do guys pay to have physical contact with a real woman? If so, why does the title say it's "Platonical"?

Platonic = non-sexual. They can sleep beside the woman for a set amount of time, but no sexual contact is allowed. And as for physical contact - they have to pay extra just to pat the girl on the head...That doesn't normally get counted as "sexual" contact, so it's platonic touching only...non-romantic/non-sexual touch. |

Which is really disturbing to my Western sensibility. If there's something that I'm missing, please tell me. |

This is the sort of thing that gives the Japanese a reputation for being creepy and perverted.

People paying good money to sleep next to others because of a complete lack of social skills. Sounds very similar to something illegal in all the states except Nevada. Starts with a "P". |

So it turns out this isn't just a Weird Japanese Thing. A New York woman has made cuddling into a business.

Prostitution is only illegal in Japan insofar as traditional intercourse. Oral sex and a variety of other acts are technically legal there. |

Just because it's legal doesn't mean that it isn't creepy. There's plenty of other creepy stuff in Japan which is perfectly legal (e.g. http://www.snopes.com/risque/kinky/panties.asp ). And honestly, much as I disagree with prostitution, I find it less creepy than this. |

Hmm, so it would cost me roughly $8100 USD to lay there and have her stare into my eyes for 10 hours straight... would it cost extra if I asked her not to blink?
