Tokyo’s subway is notorious for its male gropers, whose unrestrainable urges led to the introduction of some female-only carriages. Now, though, would-be gropers can happily grope away – for a fee, of course – in the Train Cafe (via Japundit):
Train Cafe is a members’ only club and is staffed by young women dressed in school uniforms or aprons. Membership costs 5,000 yen and there is a 2,000 yen payment for a cup of tea levied with each visit. A subsequent payment of 3,600 yen for 20 minutes permits members to partake of Train Cafe’s services.
Those services are carried out in a room refurbished so that it looks exactly like the inside of a carriage on the Yamanote Line, the train that loops the central Tokyo area. Young women stand at strategic points in the carriage and patrons are permitted to fondle them in whatever way they please. An extra payment of 5,000 yen gives patrons the option of selecting the woman they want to ride with for a 15-minute period.
Male customers, of who the club says there are 4,000, are not allowed to ejaculate in the establishment….
“During the 20 minute session, the trip takes you from Ikebukuro to Meguro (about one-third of the Yamanote Line’s 60-minute complete loop). With each stop, the doors of the carriage open and the girls get on and off the train. We use actual recordings of the conductors’ announcements and LCD screens outside the window display actual footage of the trip along the Yamanote Line,” Train Cafe’s operator tells Weekly Playboy. “We cannot be beaten when it comes to reality.”
Train Cafe’s operator tells the weekly that the club’s membership is largely based on men in the early to mid-40s. He adds that many customers enter the establishment saying that they had just ridden trains and been driven almost mad by temptation, but made it to the club before tackling an innocent woman commuter.
“We have a crime reducing effect,” the operator says.
Far from feeling demeaned, women working at the club say they enjoy it.
“I loath real chikan [gropers]. But if I’m attacked by one, I’m too scared to do anything and just shut up. I really, really hate it,” 20-year-old Rin tells the weekly. “But here, all the customers are members. You know you’re going to be felt up and it’s a good place to make friends, so I enjoy it.”
The Train Cafe: where you meet a better class of groper.
I’m (cough) no expert here, but surely much of the kick is to go undetected: it’s all about furtiveness. You surely don’t make friends with someone while groping them….do you?
