There's A Service In Japan For Women To Hire Hot Guys That Come To Their Workplace And Wipe Away Their Tears
QZ- For 7,900 yen, or about $65, it is now possible in Japan to hire an attractive man to come to your workplace and gently brush away your tears as you weep. If you need help getting the waterworks flowing, he will also patiently sit in your cubicle and watch sad videos with you until you cry. The Tokyo-based company Ikemeso Danshi—roughly, “Handsome Weeping Boys”—offers an online look book of prospective tear-wipers. One appears ready to scrub those tears away with a toothbrush, but, hey. Maybe some people are into that. Crying together is the latest experience available for purchase in Japan once reserved only for people with at least some prior acquaintance with one another: sex, obviously, but also cuddling, watching television, or cleaning up your apartment after you die alone in it. Ikemeso Danshi was started by Hiroki Terai, a businessman with a particular acumen for identifying monetizable gaps in the emotional health of an increasingly atomized society. Terai’s previous ventures include a successful business offering formal ceremonies to mark the end of a marriage. When he saw how much better clients of that service seemed to feel after a good cry, he started a series of free screenings of sad movie clips in 2013, aimed at getting strangers to cry in public, together.
Call it whatever you want but this is emotional prostitution and should be illegal. Fair is fair. If guys aren’t allowed to hire a hooker to suck their dick for 20 minutes in a Walgreens parking then women shouldn’t be allowed to hire a hot dude to come to their work and wipe away their tears for them. How are the two things different? They’re not. They’re exactly the same. Each service is fulfilling a need that has otherwise gone unmet for whatever reasons. Guys just want to get their dicks sucked. Women just want a guy who cares about their feelings. If it’s illegal for the men to pay for their thing then it should be illegal for women to pay for theirs. Personally, I don’t have a problem with either of them. Men should absolutely be able to pay for sex between two consenting adults. It makes zero sense as to why that’s looked down upon by the powers that be. On the slip side, if women want to hire a good looking gentleman to wipe away those tears I say god bless. Whatever gets you through the day is fine with me. But either both of them need to be legal or both of them have to be illegal. You can’t have it both ways. That’s called hypocrisy.
