With a job description like that, it's little wonder that confident young blades in cities all over the land are lining up to apply for jobs at "host clubs" -- those characteristically Japanese bars and restaurants where the male staff do whatever it takes to make their female clientele feel very, very welcome. As in, "Darling, where have you been all my life?" welcome. As in, "Backrub with your bubbly, baby?" welcome.
As far back as the 16th century, there were establishments catering to the desires of women wealthy enough to afford the high cost of men for hire.
