I’m a 20-year-old woman considering joining.

I’m Saito, a column writer♪ With things like this—including the going rates—it all comes down to meeting someone, so hopefully you’ll meet someone truly special. If the timing isn’t right, though, you may end up compromising for less.

I’m Ayase Nana☆ To older men, whether you’re an ordinary girl or an absolutely stunning beauty, you’re still just a hole. If that’s the case, I think the person asking should date someone their own age at a group date or something, and sleep with them instead. Because she’s a virgin? So what? That’s what I think. You’re just a hole, so don’t get your hopes up.

I’m Maezawa from the CEO’s office, and I’ll answer as well. > I want to choose my partner carefully, so I’d like to go on several dates and only offer it to someone I feel is right. That would be the best approach, but in that case, deciding how to handle the relationship terms becomes difficult. If you can reach a conclusion after two or three dates, then Relationship Type B would be fine. But if you’re talking about going on many dates first, you would need to register as Type A. Otherwise, from the man’s perspective, it could be considered a relationship-type scam. On the other hand, registering as Type A means you’ll receive fewer offers, so there’s also a possibility that you won’t be able to choose your partner. In that case, it may be best to register as Type A and patiently wait until you meet someone you genuinely like. If that’s not what you mean, another option would be to register as Type B and, if you don’t feel that he’s the right person by the third date, tell him and end the relationship. Reaching a “Type B” conclusion doesn’t necessarily mean you have to continue the relationship; ending it is also fine. The problem is having a dinner-only relationship despite being Type B. If it’s dinner only, then you should be Type A—that’s the issue you can avoid. > If I can get paid for it, I’d like to do it while I’m still young. Looking for someone who will offer a high allowance from the start may be one option. However, someone who truly values you and wants a long-term relationship may ultimately be the better choice. Which is best is something only you can decide, so I think you should choose the option you feel is right and won’t regret. Come to think of it, there was also a woman who was a virgin when she decided to start papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan). She wanted her first time to be with someone she found attractive, so she went out hoping to be approached, waited for someone whose appearance she liked to pick her up, had her first experience with him, and only then began papa-katsu. It really makes you realize that everyone has different ways of thinking. > How much will men pay for a virgin? It depends on the man. It varies from one man to another, and I think it also depends on how he feels at that particular time. For example, there’s the New Year’s first tuna auction. Even looking at the past ten years, the prices have differed from year to year. Year: Total price: Weight: Price per kilogram: Buyer 2021: ¥20.84 million: 208.4 kg: ¥100,000: Yamayuki 2020: ¥193.2 million: 276 kg: ¥700,000: Kiyomura 2019: ¥333.6 million: 278 kg: ¥1.2 million: Kiyomura 2018: ¥36.45 million: 405 kg: ¥90,000: Yamayuki 2017: ¥74.2 million: 212 kg: ¥350,000: Kiyomura 2016: ¥14 million: 200 kg: ¥70,000: Kiyomura 2015: ¥4.51 million: 180.4 kg: ¥25,000: Kiyomura 2014: ¥7.36 million: 230 kg: ¥32,000: Kiyomura 2013: ¥155.4 million: 222 kg: ¥700,000: Kiyomura 2012: ¥56.49 million: 269 kg: ¥210,000: Kiyomura 2011: ¥32.49 million: 342 kg: ¥95,000: Ricky Chen / Kyubey

Since you’re a virgin, you’re a B type, but I think it’s best to state in your profile that you won’t be able to make that decision right away, even at the second meeting, and pursue a relationship with someone you feel safe with—without thinking that being a virgin comes with a special price or makes you more marketable. If you build up unrealistic expectations, you might feel like you were treated terribly when things don’t turn out as you imagined, so it’s probably better not to overthink it. It’s simply your first time having sex—something everyone experiences. Even if it’s your first time, be sure to firmly insist that they use a condom. Marika

I’m Mac, a male member. I like virgins. I’ve written that many times before. The reason is that I enjoy “training” them. When you guide someone properly from her first time, she eventually learns to climax reliably, which gives me a real sense of accomplishment. I think if a woman is treated roughly by an inexperienced man the first time, it can become traumatic and put a mental brake on her, making it harder for her to climax. So I don’t offer that much extra just because she’s a virgin or because it’s considered rare and valuable. My usual 50, plus a 50 congratulatory bonus, makes 100 in total. If the questioner needs money, she could probably get away with telling around three men that she’s a virgin. Actually, I think even the women answering here could pull off a “virgin scam” by insisting they were virgins and acting the part. Seriously. That’s how scams work. Men who pay a large amount for a virgin often have never been with one before and simply want to experience it at least once in their lives. As a result, many of them probably can’t ease her into it properly. It hurts, and they ultimately can’t complete intercourse successfully. So for the very first time, I think it would be better to be with a man like me who’s experienced with virgins. Then, for the next three or so men, while there’s probably still some pain remaining, she could continue claiming to be a virgin. If I were the questioner, that’s what I’d do. I’ve helped more than ten women, including my ex-wife, through their first time, but even I’ve been fooled by a virgin scam. Visually checking the hymen is supposed to be the most reliable method. In that girl’s case, I visually checked it and, after getting her consent, even took a close-up photo. But I was completely deceived. The reason was that her hymen was only partially torn—half of it was still intact. I found out later that she had had her first experience with a man she met through an app for 30,000 yen. A female friend heard about it and happened to be one of my current dating partners. She told her, “Don’t you know how much you can sell your virginity for? I’ll introduce you to a papa,” and then approached me saying, “I have a virgin friend, so I’d like you to be the one to help her through her first time.” So the real mastermind was that dating partner. I assume the man from the app had a relatively thin penis, which is why half of her hymen remained. As for me, I was completely fooled by both women. There’s an even bigger twist to the story. That dating partner watched while I helped the girl through her “first time.” She observed her reaction to the pain and apparently thought, “I could pull this off too.” She then sold her own “virginity” through an app for something like 600,000 yen. At that point, all I can say is: hats off to her. Still, leaving aside the fact that I found out, she wasn’t really making anyone unhappy, so maybe virgin scams are fine after all. At least I’m not angry with that dating partner. If anything, I found it refreshing. I did cut ties with her, but for a different reason. I also wrote a column about helping a virgin through her first time, so I’ll leave the link here. This girl had a genuinely intact hymen—it was so well formed that you couldn’t even identify the opening by sight—and she bled properly, so she really was a virgin. Hope it helps. https://universe-club.jp/column/wakuchin71

I’m Aya, a female member. If you’re neither particularly beautiful nor unattractive, you may simply be treated as average. Are you okay with that? Whether they’re club members or ordinary men, they won’t necessarily treat you well just because you’re a virgin. I think it’s better to join without getting your hopes up too high. Honestly, it really comes down to luck… More than anything, I’m worried that women who aren’t used to dating might get caught up with a bad papa. Please be very careful not to get deceived or taken advantage of.

What a hassle. I guess it’s different for people who specifically want that, though… Virginity can be a memorable thing between lovers when no allowance is involved, but being a virgin doesn’t necessarily make it feel better, and I wouldn’t go out of my way to pay for it. Paper Airplane

I’m Kazu, a male member. Men who like virgins seem to be patient and willing to go on many dates with them. How much they’re willing to pay for a virgin varies from person to person, so it’s hard to say. Personally, I find virgins too much trouble, so I’m not interested—even for free.
