Tell us about your PARTNER(S). What did they look like? How well did you know them, had you hooked up before? How/Where did you meet them? How did you feel about them before the hookup? Tall Japanese man, 24, very cute, mature, fun to talk to. Met him in a club in Shibuya.

How/where did the hookup BEGIN? What led to it? Was planning involved? Who instigated it? I was dancing in a nightclub in Shibuya, when I felt him come up next to me, he said hi, gently put his arm around my waist while we were dancing. We were jumping with the music, having a good time, then he kissed my forehead and I just leaned in and we started making out. After a bit of that, he bought me a drink, then he wanted to leave with me so I grabbed my stuff and followed him into the night. The trains weren’t running since it was 2 AM, so we were just looking for a place to hang out. We walked for a long time until we came across the Love Hotel Hill. He got us a room and I just went with it. This was my first experience in one and it was much tamer than I expected. I didn’t even know it was a designated love hotel until I looked up the name the next day.

What happened DURING the hookup? What sexual behaviors took place (e.g., oral, vaginal, anal, kinky stuff)? How did you feel during it? How did they behave toward you? Were they a good lover? What did you talk about? How did it end? He was sweet and affectionate before, during and after the hookup, kissing my forehead and holding my hand. We made out for a bit, started touching each other, he sucked and licked my breasts and I performed oral him. Then we got down to missionary sex which was very deep and hot. I don’t normally get very loud but I was practically screaming towards the end. After that, I showered and we slept naked in each other’s arms in the bed. The next morning around 6 AM, both of us happened to be awake at the same time so he started fingering me and then we proceeded to go for missionary sex again, even more satisfying than last night. Afterwards we laid in bed together, sleeping a bit more.

How sexually satisfying was this hookup? Very

Did you have an orgasm? Yes, more than one

Did your partner have an orgasm? Yes, multiple

What happened AFTER the hookup? How did you feel about it the next day? What are/were your expectations/hopes for the future with this person? How do you feel about them now? After we got our clothes back on in the morning and our stuff together, we checked out of the love hotel and he walked me back to the metro station. We talked a bit more in Japanese during and we shared some more about ourselves. When we got to the station, he suggested that we keep in touch so I gave him my contact info. It was a really great experience and he was a nice guy. We parted with a long deep kiss and that was it for now. I don’t know if we will get in touch again but I’m hopeful that we will.
