TOKYO, Japan (CNN) -- At first glance, the man and woman at the nightclub look like any other couple on a date. He flirts and pours champagne. She looks at him and laughs.
Businesswomen in Japan pay up to $50,000 a night for male companionship from "hosts" like Yunosuke.
This isn't a date, though. It's business.
The woman, a successful executive, has joined a growing number of professional women in Japan in forking out from $1,000 to $50,000 a night for male companionship.
They meet their "hosts" in hundreds of clubs that have sprung up around Tokyo - the industry says only compliments are exchanged. The women pay for a man to lavish them with undivided attention.

Because ketsu said so in post #15. I'm specifically referring to ketsu's friend.
I don’t know...the CNN caption says: “Businesswomen in Japan pay up to $50,000 a night for male companionship from “hosts” like Yunosuke.” And the article mentions that he makes enough to “get his hair styled and blow-dried.” So I figure that must be him.

Ok. I really don't think that puts the "host" in a better light (a prostitute that only puts out sometimes???) but to each his own.
Because ketsu said so in post #15. I'm specifically referring to ketsu's friend.Let me explain it to you in simple terms snoogums. A host is not a prostitute. A host gets to choose when and if he gets sexually involved with a client. A whore gets paid for a sexual service; a host for the company.
My friend chose the time, place and manner of his encounters. Most of which were with women that the men here would salivate over.
Ok. I really don't think that puts the "host" in a better light (a prostitute that only puts out sometimes???) but to each his own.You don't like holding out on sex for more money? You must really hate women then.
"He's a friggin', bleed'n lightweight he is"
If he looked like Ken Watanabe, maybe I could see it. Frankly, I’ll be damned if I waste my time and money on a “guy” that isn’t.....”He” is reminiscent of the eunuchs of the eastern courts who spent time in the harems...
My husband, a 6’4” VERY muscular, masculine guy, gets hit on by Japanese women every time he’s in Tokyo..... “Big man......many muscles.....” they say........maybe guys like this is the reason why.....
Re: Then again, so does being rich.
So you would do anything, as long as you get rich?
Please read the caption beneath the picture before posting.
Looking at the pictureof the host:
Look everyone! Tinkerbell’s alive!
Good heavens, you could skin that guy and make a nice rug out of him!
That's what I thought, but then I read the caption. Perhaps it is just poor caption writing that is to blame.
At any rate. . .whew! I was trying to figure out what any woman would see in a man that looked like that.
Nothing new here, just the same thing as the the old “Boogie St (Bugis St) of Singapore in the 50’s - 80’s
I did. And the first word under the picture is "Businesswomen", indicating to me that the picture is of a typical Japanese businesswoman. Here is the complete caption:
"Businesswomen in Japan pay up to $50,000 a night for male companionship from "hosts" like Yunosuke."
That’s not cool man.
