Lover hotels are very common in Japan. What is the reason for their existence?

This kind of hotel may exist to meet the needs of sex trade, one-night stand, extramarital affairs, as well as the trading places of genre shops. In a certain social and historical stage, it still occupies a more important position in the hotel industry. It is a unique industry formed in the historical development of Japanese society.

Hotels are different from Japanese lover hotels and ordinary hotels. In terms of decoration, the layout of the lover's hotel is more romantic, there will be more family planning supplies and sex toys, and the guests staying are more customers or couples than ordinary migrant workers. In addition, the profit of lover hotel is also very considerable. In addition to hotel room expenses, extra services such as couples' supplies are also a big income.

The reason for its existence may be the demand for sexual life and the demand for sexual activities in various places. According to the survey, only 1/4 Japanese people are satisfied with their sexual life, which is the lowest among the developed countries in the world. For the Japanese who grew up in erotic entertainment and animation, this ratio is obviously inconsistent with their real pursuit, which also explains the reason for the existence of lovers' hotels from the psychological level. The existence of sympathy hotel also provides opportunities for prostitution for Japanese custom shops.

The development process of lover's hotel was first thought to appear in the Edo period, and began to develop after the Korean War, and now it has a downward trend. But in the beginning, this kind of hotel only provided a place to sleep, but before the Second World War, there was a rest place called accommodation, which was mostly used by couples. Later, with the beginning of the Korean War, a large number of laborers came to Tokyo, and the demand for hotels expanded. After 1970, the development of lover's hotels entered its heyday, which coincided with the rapid development of Japanese economy and the improvement of people's consumption power, and also ushered in the spring of this industry.
