Although it has nothing to do with AV, seeing how enthusiastically the discussion was about Momozono Rena's post, I still wrote this one:
First, let me add some points that Momozono's post didn't mention: First, the male protagonist, "Kaede Nagisa," is a 40-year-old male escort. Unlike the average guy in his early 20s, he debuted at 35—not because he was a late bloomer, but because he had previously tried to start a business to become a boss, but the venture failed miserably, the company went bankrupt, and he was left with debts exceeding 100 million yen (5.15 million RMB)...
So what did he do? "Kaede" originally planned to work as a boatman fishing for bluefin tuna, earning several million yen a year. However, he later decided to become a male escort. In just a few years, Kaede not only paid off his debts and became the head of the bar, but also opened a hookah shop out of interest, smoking hookah with Momozono Rena every day. It's clear how successful he was as a male escort!
Of course, Momozono Rena deserves much credit. However, some people in the article say that Momozono Rena is too foolish. If she's just seeking physical pleasure, why doesn't she just pay 200,000 yen per hookup to a male escort? That way she can have fun without going bankrupt, right?
Indeed, yes, that's true, but...
Firstly, this might have happened, it's just that Kaede and Momozono Rena didn't say anything; secondly, regardless of whether he was hooking up outside, Kaede was still a host at the club, and what is the most important job of a host? Drinking to please customers and providing sexual services all have one purpose: to make money for the club and strive for first place in the sales rankings.
Therefore, host clubs have monthly rankings. Winning first place not only brings honor but also a huge bonus. Thus, every host will go all out to "cleanse" customers' wallets—this is why every host, like Aizen Sousuke, uses illusions to hypnotize customers, and why every woman who gets involved with a host ends up bankrupt. For the sake of sales rankings, hosts will stop at nothing, which is why they maintain a very delicate relationship with the AV industry…

Firstly, many women, unable to meet the financial demands of male escorts, often fall into the sex industry. Some AV actresses are born this way, and even some actresses switching agencies are inextricably linked to their male escorts. However, male escorts also severely impact the actresses' work. Besides making them unable to concentrate, actresses who date male escorts often request their agencies not to schedule them for work at the end of the month because... They have to support their boyfriends at the host club before settling their sales targets, ensuring their boyfriends rank high on the sales leaderboard—and that's how the money the actresses earn by spreading their legs goes into the host club's pocket. I once, quite tactlessly, invited a woman who was dating a host club to Taiwan for an event at the end of the month. Not only did she and her boyfriend constantly exchange ideas about sales ranking strategies behind the scenes, but she was also very distracted during the event, constantly making mistakes, and even knowing we'd be watching her Twitter, she wrote that she was homesick and wanted to go home immediately—
I can only say, I'm slow to understand things, otherwise I'd want to be a host club too!
