Delivery health

Delivery health

Delivery health (デリバリーヘルス Deribarii herusu?), also known as shutchō health (出張ヘルス) or by the abbreviation "deriheru" (デリヘル), is a form of prostitution in Japan similar to fashion health, "health" being a term for sexual services.[1] The difference being that the brothel has no premises and is essentially a call girl or escort service with women being dispatched to their customers' homes or to hotels.[2][3]

Outcall call girl businesses distribute advertising handouts to home and apartment mailboxes, telephone booths, restrooms and the like in big cities in Japan.
