Makayla Takanabe Brothel ❤️

About Osaka

Brothels ain’t just sex dens, nah. They’re history lessons wrapped in lace. Back in Victorian days, these spots were hush-hush, but EVERYONE knew the address. Like, some lord’d be preachin purity Sunday mornin, then sneakin in by dusk – hypocrite much? Made me mad, that double life crap. But also, kinda funny.

This is a sacred place!” But whatever, I guess they’re just excited. I mean, who wouldn’t be?
