    Holy shit! Japanese people use the term “rest” when they really want to have sex in a love hotel? A few years ago I was walking around Tokyo with a Japanese woman and she asked if I wanted to take a rest in a hotel room. Me, in my ignorance of Japanese culture, was like “why would I want to do that? Rent a room to take a nap in? It’s the middle of the day, let’s grab a coffee and sit in a cafe if you are tired of walking.
    I blew my chance and didn’t even know it!

    I'm from Canada. It's so interesting that you say it would be considered creepy to invite someone back to your place, but in Canada it would be considered so creepy to just invite someone to a hotel! They would probably think you were treating them like a prostitute and be offended!

      having something special at home is a way smoother excuse to invite someone at your place. «rest»… well, and what if it's not too late? and what if you're not that drunk? I'm not a «pro» by no means, but consider buying let's say a projector. what a fun thing to have. and still, you can watch your favorite films even if it won't work! if she doesn't like cinema, then have a spare option :) have a collection of something that you're really interested in, but not in a geek way.

    Being gay, I've had a few Japanese lady friends explain how they deal with guys on dates. Every single one says "oh man, last train is coming!" is their favorite way to bail on dates. Some of them say if the date is going especially poorly, they'll look at their phone and just exclaim "last train!" and jump up and leave 🤣

    Bit of advice: never plan hook ups or spontaneously miss the last train on Fridays/Saturdays in the middle of the city, because all the love hotels will be full and you'll end up walking around searching for hours and not find anything until the first train in the morning 😅

    I'm currently living in Taiwan, which was a Japanese colony until the end of WWII, so there are still some Japanese customs and traditions here, like what Shun mentioned about the "rest" moniker in hotels.
    When I first came here I had a date with a Taiwanese girl at a bar. The conversation was going quite well, but at 11:30 PM I told her I had to go, because I had to catch the last metro (I was not refusing anything, I just didn't know about the train excuse Shun mentioned, I was so naive back then lol) but she told me we could keep talking at her place, she however told me very clearly "but don't get any ideas, NOTHING will happen". Of course, EVERYTHING happened.

    Let me add that if you hook up with a married Japanese person and his / her spouse finds out, you can get sued and will have to pay damages that can be in the millions of yens. It is also worth noting that, this being Japan, any kind of legal conflict between a Japanese and a non-Japanese is highly likely to be ruled in favor of the Japanese side.
    When you go into Tinder or any other dating app, you will see the first thing that women write on their profiles is something like "no married men please". The reason, as you can see from the above, is not moral or ethical; it's an issue of legal liability and money.

    I've been to Japan exactly once and I had a hookup there a few times with the same girl. We went to Hotel Love in Nagoya. Some advice, make sure to pay attention as to whether or not there is smoking allowed in the room. We didn't know, and we chose a smoke-friendly room (we didn't smoke), and the pillows smelled really strongly of cigarettes. Didn't stop the magic of course, but the second time we went we picked a non-smoker's room and it just felt a lot more clean. It was super nice actually, it had a gigantic shower/bathroom and they had like disposable tooth brushes and razors, still sealed in a bag for you to use. Obviously soap and shampoo and stuff too, even skincare products. They also had a hitachi wand which we may or may not have used but I can't help but wonder if they clean those tools out every time or what, since there isn't a disposable version of that as far as I know. Fun stuff. Also guys, do karaoke. It's private and really easy to set the mood and serenade her. It's how we got things started each time lol...

We also have love hotels it's called "Motel" it's usually located in big roads where you have easy access by car since our public transportation is not that good, but i think it's more common go to someone's place. If you feel comfortable you can simply ask "Do you wanna go somewhere?" Once the date is coming to an end, and that is pretty much it hahahaha Here Girls have a way more freedom to ask a guy too

    Aside from the topic itself, I just wanted to say: your use of colloquial English expressions, like "sorry to break it to you", is really impressive! It's usually very uncommon for non-native speakers to use so many of these as well as you do because it typically comes from having lived a long time overseas and/or having a lot of exposure to native speakers around you (friends, etc). Anyway, I know about love hotels but I didn't know about the expression "do you want to have a rest?". It makes perfect sense once you explain it, though. Until I lived in Asia for a few years, the concept of taking a shower before you sleep with someone was completely foreign to me. Not that I'm an expert lol but I just hadn't heard of such a thing. I imagined it was something you'd do after the fact (for obvious reasons).

    nice video, so commonly in the U.K. hook up line is often "Do you wanna Coffee?" especially if you have gone to someones place. a lot depends on the situation, phone apps seem popular people will get a hotel room if for some reason home isnt convenient or nearby most hotels dont question whats going on. in many respects the UK is fairly sexually liberated. picking up is common in clubs and bars. proper dating is probably more complicated and requires a bit of thought and planning.

    In the US, generally it's expected that we shower before the date, and that's usually clean enough if we decide to hook up. Also a common invitation for sex is something like "so you wanna come to my place?"
    Personally, I didn't sleep with anyone I didn't already know well, but if it were a casual hookup, I would have opted for a hotel room bc I didn't want them knowing where I lived, but also didn't want to be at their place.

    This is pretty fun to watch. I studied in Ireland and weekends at the pub or after hours club was the hunting grounds for hookups. you can tell last call and closing time are approaching because guys and girls start desperately scanning the room to see if there is any one they find suitable to take home. It usually depends how drunk people are. I shared a place with other 2 flatmates (a guy and a girl), and the way I would find out if one of them had hooked up at the Pub or club is that I would find a string of clothes from the living room leading to their rooms, or random clothes in the bathroom or very loud music coming out of their door vary late at night.
    And it is not only Uni Students, My flatmate once actually ended up hooking up with an off duty police woman whose uniform jacket she forgot once she left and had to to the walk of shame coming back to the flat and I had to handed it to her because my roomate was away, that was awkward.
