If you were born a man, or even just a human, experiencing “mat play” at least once is something you must do.
To briefly explain what Mat Play is, it involves the following.
What is mat play
“Mat play” is a Japanese term referring to a type of service where the customer’s body is massaged with sexual lubricant* on a vinyl mat (an air mattress) laid out in the bathroom.
The lady, while occasionally incorporating blow job and intercrural sex, stimulates the man by pressing her slippery body against you and moving sensually.
The combination of the slippery sensation of the lubricant and the softness of the lady’s body creates an incredibly pleasurable experience.
Additionally, the sight of the lady’s body glistening with lubricant is highly arousing.
For men, this play is filled with irresistible allure.
Mat play requires quite advanced skills (lol), but don’t worry. All the staff at establishments offering mat play have mastered these techniques. You’re sure to be very satisfied.
*In Japan, sexual lubricants are commonly referred to as “lotion.” Generally, when the term “lotion” is mentioned in the sex industry, it refers to sexual lubricant. On this site, there may be instances where the term “lotion” is used incorrectly, but it always refers to sexual lubricant.
Places where you can enjoy mat play
Mat play was originally developed in soaplands, and in the past, it was only able to be enjoyed at soaplands.
Nowadays, however, there are specialized mat play establishments, and some fashion health shops and even some delivery health offer mat play courses.
If you want to fully indulge in mat play, I recommend visiting a specialty mat play shop. On the other hand, if you want to enjoy a variety of comprehensive services, soaplands are the way to go.
Health and delivery health establishments may vary in the skills of their female staff, so you might not always be satisfied.

As mentioned earlier, whether it is a specialized mat play establishment, a fashion health service, or any other type of establishment,
As mentioned earlier, whether it is specialized mat play establishments, fashion health services, or any other type of establishment, they typically require you to select a mat play-specific course, with pricing generally being similar. However, Japanese adult entertainment services vary widely in price, even within the same category of establishment, ranging from cheap to expensive. Therefore, it’s somewhat difficult to generalize about costs, but we will provide some rough estimates below.

How to enjoy
Mat play is essentially a play where the woman takes the lead from start to finish. Some people may feel unsure about how to enjoy it at first. Here, we’ll introduce how to enjoy mat play, so be sure to pay attention to the following points!
Enjoy the slippery sensation and the time spent in close contact
The “slippery sensation” of the lubricant is an essential feeling for bringing skin-to-skin contact.
With excellent glide, the pleasure of the girl’s soft skin smoothly rubbing against you without resistance becomes addictive.
Mat play is filled with intimate plays that maximize this pleasure.
Enjoying pleasurable “passive positions” led by the woman
Mat play takes place on a small mat covered in slippery lubricant. As a result, inexperienced individuals may find it difficult to move smoothly and may even risk accidents. Mat play showcases the skills of highly trained women.
Don’t hesitate to entrust yourself to the lady and enjoy being in a “dead fish” state.
For men who typically take the lead in positions like missionary or doggy style, experiencing being on the receiving end throughout may feel refreshing. Of course, for those who enjoy being dominated, mat play is an opportunity not to be missed.
Enjoying combined techniques with cosplay and anilingus
Mat play can elevate excitement levels to “skyrocketing” heights when combined with other plays.
Two recommended plays are as follows:
Cosplay
The most popular and common cosplay is the school swimsuit. You can feel the sensation of the girl’s limbs firmly, and parts covered in lubricant may become translucent, making erect nipples more noticeable, enhancing the eroticism significantly.
Anilingus
Anal licking or Anilingus is considered an essential play in Mat Play. Since there are some specific techniques specialized for anilingus in mat play, those interested should make a request to the girl.
Flow of Mat Play
First, thoroughly wash your body in the bath.
It’s common for the ladies to wash your body as part of the service.
In that case, entrust yourself to the woman.
After being washed, you’ll then soak in the bathtub prepared by the sex worker.
While soaking in the bathtub, the sex worker will prepare the lubricant and mat for you.
During this time, it’s a good idea to engage in conversation with the sex worker.
Before starting the Mat Play, you might have the opportunity to enjoy being lovey-dovey with the lady once she’s finished preparing.
In the bathtub, you can engage in chatting, touch each other, kiss, and hug.
This helps build excitement, making the subsequent Mat Play even more enjoyable.
Once you’ve received the initial services in the bathtub, follow the lady’s lead to move to the mat.
The mat is extremely slippery, and there are many cases of people slipping, falling, and getting injured. Please be very careful.
On the mat, the lady will work hard to serve you, so don’t hesitate to just relax and let go. Just lie back and be a “dead fish” state. (lol)
If you’re in a Mat Play specialty establishment, you can reach a climax at this point. However, if you’re at a Soapland, you will move to a bed afterwards for intercourse. Therefore, it’s good idea to inform the lady in advance whether you intend to climax during the Mat Play session. If you prefer not to finish at this stage but feel close to it, let her know to stop the play accordingly. Engaging in this kind of chatting can also be quite fun.
In Soaplands, generally, you may cum as many as you can manage or she can coax out of you in the timeframe allotted.
Therefore, you can cum in the mat play, then you can cum again during intercourse on the bed afterward.
After the play is over, have the lubricant washed off by the lady with a shower, then soak in the bathtub again to rinse off any remaining lubricant .
Enjoy some intimate time chatting and cuddling with the lady here again.
