On this trip, my first return since COVID, I was relieved to learn that it was back in operation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s located in the posh Ginza area, in a narrow alley right across from one of the super-exclusive sushi restaurants where you need an introduction and a month\u2019s advance booking to get into. Unlike that sushi joint, Black Heart is very welcoming, and you can pop in without any reservations. Don\u2019t let the Gothic stairs into the dark basement intimidate you. This bar is friendly to foreigners and non-Japanese speakers. Not all bars and entertainment spaces welcome the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/gaijin\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gaijin<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Also, it\u2019s a very comfortable place for women to go in groups or solo to hang out.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the hostesses will greet you at the door, usually clad in lingerie or light fetish wear. They will ask you if you\u2019ve been there before, sussing out if you know what you\u2019re walking into. They\u2019ll take your coat and bags and secure them. Your stuff is safe there.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll walk into its gorgeously appointed deep red and black interior with many pervy art and sculptures, including a sexy creepy doll covered in roses in a glass-covered tub looking like a twisted Sleeping Beauty.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black Heart is a more casual and relaxed hostess bar \u2014 often called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kyabakura<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, short for Cabaret Club. No hard sell and no excessive flattery to push expensive drinks. You\u2019re not \u201cassigned\u201d one hostess who spends the entirety of your visit with you. Instead, the friendly staff will move from table to table, talking to one or many customers simultaneously. The hostesses will come and sit with you and make small talk. They will offer you their business cards with their working name on them. Receive it with both hands, read it carefully, and try to remember their name. This is customary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They will ask if you are S, M, or F \u2013 which means top, bottom, or fetishist \u2013 and give you a coaster to indicate this. Do not take this too seriously. It\u2019s just a fun icebreaker. Many western visitors get a bit too hung up on this. Just pick one and order your drink. Most people are there in regular daytime streetwear or date night clothing. I\u2019ve also seen men change into some femme attire there as well. While some kink bars have performances and shows, Black Heart usually does not. Sometimes there\u2019s a little bit of light kink between worker and customer. Sometimes a pair of customers might play while the rest of us watch and drink.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They have some basic toys, mostly bondage and impact items. Antlers mounted on the wall showcase many of these toys. You can ask about them and even try them out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every Tuesday night is \u201cLady\u2019s Day,\u201d with half price cover charge, free drinks, and no hourly fee.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to watch or try shibari or kinbaku?

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After significant research, I\u2019ve discovered that there is one, just one, genuinely sex-positive feminist and queer-friendly sex shop in all of Japan;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovepiececlub.com\/e\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Love Piece Club<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Tokyo. They have a strong web presence and an elegant boutique in the super fashionable <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lpc-laforet.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laforet building in Harajuku<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They also host special events and offer sexuality information and advice services for women.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those of us in North America and Europe today, it\u2019s common to find a sex-positive and gender-affirming sex toy shop or two in most large cities and many smaller towns. Even people who live far from brick-and-mortar shops can order easily online. It really is a privilege that we ought not to take for granted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Japan, you can find plenty of places selling sex toys, but most are sleazy and retro in the worst ways. They range from dingy sad shacks trading on shame reminiscent of Times Square of yore, Vegas-looking florid neon-colored shops selling teeny tiny club wear and cheap vibes, or back corner sections of massive general stores like the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.donki.com\/en\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Donki chain<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Don\u2019t get me wrong. I like a bit of sleaze and dirt now and then, but when that\u2019s all that\u2019s available and they cater to otaku boys and geezers, a nice perv gets pretty grumpy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Love Piece Club was founded in 1996 by Minori Kitahara. She\u2019s a true maverick, rabble-rouser, and activist for sex positivity and the rights of women and marginalized people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><p><em><b>On a Serious Note: <\/b><\/em><b>My trip to Bar Black Heart wasn\u2019t just as a customer. I was there to teach a rope and consent class for women.<\/b><\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black Heart invited me as a guest teacher for their monthly women-only Shibari workshop, \u201cOtome Nawakai.\u201d They asked me to present on negotiation, agency, boundary, consent, and dynamic movement in private rope play. This was a heartbreakingly profound invitation for me. Why? Because<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> women\u2019s consent and agency are not taught, discussed, or supported in Japan, much less clear negotiation before play. The small club filled up with women of varying experiences. At first, they were quiet and unsure. Such workshops aren\u2019t the norm. By the end of the class, we were laughing, moving, and tying.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> After the class ended, the bar opened to the public. Conversations buzzed for the rest of the evening, and new friendships formed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ugly reality is that there is a lot of gender-based violence and sexual assaults in Japan. It may seem a strange paradox that there should be such crimes in such a clean, well-ordered, and seemingly low-crime country. It\u2019s a well-hidden national shame that is getting some light shed on it.

I don\u2019t want to blow culturally romantic smoke up your ass. You deserve the real scoop. In Japan, saying a direct \u201cNO\u201d in ordinary small talk or business conversations is difficult enough, much less for women in sexual situations. Please consider this if you want to hook up with Japanese women. Not saying \u201cNo\u201d is not an implied \u201cYes\u201d \u2014 and drunk people suck at setting or holding boundaries or saying No.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2><b>Be A Fantastic Global Kinkster!<\/b><\/h2><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/7kvFUvfnHAuXK7a5jM5hIl\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I love history and culture nerding<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!
