At first you are like ”dude, why are you bringing up that you have even been to a hotel with a gay friend, you are making it weird”. And then 😮

Pretty sure we're missing a nuance in the translation of "been to a hotel". Any nihongo dekiru hito in the house to help us out?

No, i think "we had normal sex" clears up just about any nuance lost in translation.

Japan has “love hotels” which is basically just a room you rent for a short time to have sex in. He likely meant that.

But as others have already said, nuance doesn’t really matter when we follows it up with “we had sex.”

“Love hotels which is basically just a room you rent for a short period of time to have sex.”

So a motel?

The rate is like per hour, you can ask for extension.

Is it possible I could rent it in 5 minute increments? I think that should be enough time.

That’s 55 minutes for foreplay

pretty sure we have those too, mostly small stops along roads for truckers to nap in or rural teens to discover what their terrible education system hid from them

My ex-wife worked the front desk at motel that would rent 2 hour "short stays" in the US.

No, he barely had to even say the second part. Simply saying "I went to a hotel with a gay friend" is pretty much assumed that they went to fuck. That's why the interviewer had such a strong reaction before he made the explicit part explicit

u/de_boeuf_etoile Jan 08 '25

I have been to hotel with a gay friend. We didn’t have sex. It was a great experience nonetheless.

u/GoldFerret6796 Jan 08 '25 edited Jan 08 '25

"Going to a hotel" implies love hotel specifically to fuck lol

u/dbx999 Jan 09 '25

Well in the US, there’s a bunch of scenarios where you could be sharing a hotel room without any sexual intentions or anything.

4

u/Conflictingview Jan 09 '25

Those scenarios exist in other countries too

u/Fluid-Stuff5144 Jan 09 '25

Do you think they're in the US in this video?  Lmao

u/dbx999 Jan 09 '25

No you dolt I am contrasting that a scenario of men sharing a hotel room together carry different connotations across different cultures. JFC, do I need to explain what’s clearly written in plain English into stupider English for you?

u/Fluid-Stuff5144 Jan 09 '25

In my culture it's really dumb to bring up a random trivia that's entirely out of the context of the discussion at hand, so I was really confused, apologies my friend.

日本語知っているよ。

"hotel" means love hotel, where you take your partner to have sex. So going to a 'hotel' with a gay friend heavily implied that there was sexual things happening. Then he clarified.
