re: lewd silly, kink trivia
in Japan there's a form of "soft" sex work (without penetration, to dodge regulations) called "soapland", where women will lather their own body in slippery soap and rub and squish various body parts against the clients' various body parts. the tactile sensation of this is quite powerful, and it's a thing I enjoy doing to my cli—uh, my partners.
one of my more impossible kinks would be to locate something I read about once: in-house training videos for something called "the dance of bubbles" (awa-odori). there are various definitions online of what this is actually like, usually followed by remarks of the form "…but that's a relic of the eighties" (Bubble era, teehee) "and nowadays things are different". I imagine that different shops must have different forms of play under this name—it's too good a name to let pass—but what you see talked most often is the worker's entire body soaped up on a wet water mattress or the like (somewhere you can lie down comfortably and stay slippery wet in both senses of the word, without water washing it away like in a bathtub), with various house-specific techniques to entice and pleasure and induce climax while technically slightly dodging the legal definition of "sex".
I would super love for this to be a thing that I do, but I don't want to just go off some random blogger romanticising nostalgia—I want those legendary VHS training tapes or nothing. but even if I could locate them, assuming they even existed and still exist, I wouldn't have a space to do play like this anyway. or well I suppose I could add the cost of a hotel room to the pric—to the budgeting with my partners
