Kinkly explains Hostess Club

A hostess club should be differentiated from sex clubs and strip clubs. Respectful behavior is expected in hostess clubs. There should be no sex, solicitation, or nudity involved. However, some men abuse their customer status. These men subject women to sexual abuse. Some also proposition women into having sex with them after work. There is pressure on women to agree, in exchange for the men's patronage.
