This one is for the ladies. Really. Boys... buzz off. Last year (2010), Japan officially opened up its first lesbian-only escort service.
The Garden of Lily, is a new chain of escort services available for the discriminating woman who prefers women. You go girl!
Seriously. I have no problem with this. My only query is what the heck took Japan so long?
Of course, the Garden of Lily claims it is a site devoted to lesbians, but I assume bi-curious or bisexual woman with cash could also partake of the services. Okama (tranvestities), probably not... but then, who knows?
Female escorts for men are essentially illegal in Japan. That the female 'escorts' are paid to be escorted is fine, but should you actually be paying for sex in the boudoir, then one is actually paying for unadvertised sex. The Garden of Lily advertises.
What the hell am I doing? You guys know what escorts/hookers do, right? Anyhow... why is it illegal for a man to hire a woman for sex, but it's legal for a woman to hire another woman for sex? I'm assuming it is also illegal for a woman to hire a man for sex. No clue if it's illegal for a man to hire a man for sex.
Here's the thing: The Garden of Lily (where the hell did that name come from??!!), is a legal business venture, as it is not doing anything to break the law. You see, the prostitution laws in Japan only cover plain old intercourse involving the penis and vagina. There's apparently nothing illegal about whatever it is that the Garden of Lily offers. I guess man to man sex would be legal if anyone is looking for a new business venture.
Should anyone be curious about the site, have a look... YOWZA.
By the way, I know what they are offering! Lesbians? Sure. But I like it, too.
However...
Somewhere the garden gates are closed,

PS: I was going to call this blog: Lick It Up by KISS. Propriety, don't you know, is what stopped me. So, what the hell, here's that video: NOMAKE-UP. Two for the price of one.
