What is Japan’s Prostitution Prevention Law (Baishun Bōshi Hō)?
Japan’s Prostitution Prevention Law, also known as the Baishun Bōshi Hō, is a law that was enacted in 1956 to prohibit the act of selling and buying sexual services. The law criminalizes acts such as engaging in sexual acts for payment, soliciting prostitution, and operating brothels or other establishments that provide sexual services.
Under the law, individuals who engage in prostitution can face penalties such as fines and imprisonment, and those who operate brothels or profit from the prostitution of others can face more severe penalties. Additionally, the law includes provisions aimed at preventing human trafficking and exploitation in the sex industry.
The enforcement of the Anti-Prostitution Law in Japan has been criticized for being inconsistent, with some areas being more tolerant of the sex industry than others. In recent years, there has been debate around potential revisions to the law, with some advocating for a more liberalized approach to prostitution and others arguing for stricter enforcement.
Overall, the Anti-Prostitution Law is a significant legal framework governing the sex industry in Japan, and it’s important to understand its provisions and implications for individuals involved in or affected by the industry.
Is escort illegal in Japan?
In Japan, prostitution is technically illegal under the Prostitution Prevention Law (Baishun Bōshi Hō), which was enacted in 1956. However, the law does not specifically mention escort services, and the interpretation of the law varies.
There are many businesses in Japan that offer prostitution services that can be considered similar to escort services, such as “Outcall Escort (deliheru in Japanese)” services, which provide sexual services to customers at their homes or hotels and “Incall Escort (hakoheru in Japanese)” services, which provide services to customers at escort agncy’s shop.
These services can only be operated legally if the owner applies for a permit from the Public Safety Commission of Japan. (However, it is still illegal to insert the penis into the vagina, even with this procedure.) Because of the complexity of this procedure, almost all of the Indepenedent Escort Girls in Japan do not apply for a permit and are Illegally operating a prostitution service. Almost all Independent Escort Girls listed on non-Japanese websites such as Cityoflove.com, Massage Republic, Euro Girls Escort, Ladys.One, TopEscortBabes, and Escortnews.e are ILLEGAL. (These sites do not verify escort girl’s legality. Incidentally, it is also against Japanese law to advertise illegal callgirls.)
Of course, if you have sex with these illegal escort girls, you are violating the Japan’s Prostitution Prevention Law. Also, they may be backed by gangsters or yakuza, and they may extort large sums of money from you by using your illegal prostitution as a pretext.
Overall, It’s important to prioritize safety and research any services or businesses carefully before engaging with them. I am introducing only legal escorts on this site from my perspective of having grown up in the U.S. when I was a small child and now living in Japan. If you have come all the way to Japan, I hope you will spend a hot night with beautiful women in safety!
