Peep box offers hole to the real world

Peep boxes once dominated the lower scale of Japan's netherworld, but
they've since given way to other types of carnal entertainment. Now,
however, one peep box at least is turning Japanese in an effort to give
itself greater appeal, according to Shukan Jitsuwa (3/20).

"Peep boxes originally came into Japan from the United States, but most
of them involved something like a show," says the owner of Michelle,
the Japanese-style peep box that has recently opened in the seedy
Shinokubo district of Tokyo's Shinjuku-ku. "Japanese like something
more sneaky, like spying on a woman to get a look at her private life.
If that's the case, then we're certainly the first Japanese-style peep
show in Japan."

Rather than the gaudy lights and stage common with most peep boxes,
Michelle is decked out to look like a store selling swimsuits.
Literally hundreds of swimsuits are hung up on racks lined in neat
rows.

"We get out customers to creep into rooms next to a change room at the
rear of the store. The rooms have walls equipped with holes so
customers can take a close look at what the girls are doing," the owner
tells Shukan Jitsuwa. "Of course, if you pay a surcharge upon entering
the store, you're entitled to some special service from the girl later
on."

Where the normal peep box would soon see the customer treated to a show
put on by a naked woman dancing on stage, the Michelle customer is
greeted by the plain walls of the room beside the swimsuit store
"changing room." The walls contain three holes, one at eye level and
the other two at a height where customers can peer through if they
squat on their haunches.

Customers can leer at the girls using the changing room. The girls will
change at least once during a 15-minute period and are guaranteed to be
completely starkers for at least some of that time and partly nude for
the rest.

As Michelle is a peep box, the woman on show gives no inkling of being
aware that customers are leering at her. She changes clothes as
naturally as she normally would. Those who pay for the special service
are directed to rooms that also contain something akin to a doggy door
through which they are supposed to protrude their member to undergo
some handiwork courtesy of the young performer, in this case a lass of
19.

"I didn't want guys feeling me up in other types of sex services, but
here all I have to do is change clothes and then give the customer a
hand and I'm finished," she tells Shukan Jitsuwa. "Whenever I see the
things sticking out of the little window, I always imagine the type of
guy to which they belong. Sometimes, the guy will get really excited
and my face or hair gets covered with the fruits of his labors."
