If a Japanese man wants an affair or a sexual experience outside of marriage with no strings attached, he has many choices like sexual massage parlours, licensed brothels and escort services.

Unfairly enough, there are few sexual services readily available for women seeking paid sexual gratification - or even easy ways to have extra-marital affairs, the Japan Times reported.

If a man is well-connected and wealthy, he can even register himself with a members-only club and be matched up with a perfect mistress.

There were sexual massage services for ladies, and not so long ago there was a brief boom in take-out hosts. However, there is nothing close to the male-centered sex industry accounting for 2 percent of Japan's GDP.

Japanese wives do have affairs but are just more discreet.
