Host Club: Difference between revisions

Want a relaxing night away from the office, your college, or your stupid boyfriend? If you're female, 18+, and you live in Japan, maybe you could go to a Host Club.

Like hostess clubs, most host clubs [[High -Class Call Girl|do not offer actual sex]]; only flirting, flattery, pampering and companionship in a congenial environment (and at an exorbitant rate). Unlike hostess clubs, the main market for host clubs is not [[White Collar Worker|White Collar Workers]]s, but, instead, women who work in hostess clubs and other parts of the entertainment industry, looking to relax after a long hard night of being nice to inebriated, sexually-harassing [[Salaryman|Salarymen]] (since host clubs are mostly owned by the same people who own hostess clubs, this has the net effect of recouping some of the hostess' income, and thus hostesses are encouraged to partake of this form of entertainment).

For the younger set, [[Butler Cafe|Butler Cafes]]s have a similar premise, only with afternoon tea rather than late-night booze.

* In the manga series ''B.O.D.Y'', the boy the protagonist has a crush on works at one because he enjoys being paid to flirt.

* Several of the supporting characters from ''[[Gintama (Manga)|Gintama]]'' work at host/hostess clubs. A few of the mini-arcs take place in the host clubs as well.
