Could the club make condom use mandatory for an adult relationship (intimate) on the first meeting? So far, about 50% of them have wanted to go without one.

I’m Ayase Nana ☆ People who want to go without protection from the very beginning are usually just looking for a one-time thing, aren’t they? Anyone who insists on unprotected sex is an idiot. They probably think they’ll be fine. Whether you make him wear a condom is up to you. Please be careful not to let the immediate money blind you into agreeing to unprotected sex. AIDS doesn’t show symptoms right away, so you may not even realize it. By the time you do, it could already be too late. Please approach papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) with that level of awareness.

Maezawa from the President’s Office here. When AIDS was first discovered around 1980, I seem to remember hearing that politicians debated whether to require soaplands to keep condoms on hand—or perhaps distribute them—to help prevent AIDS infections. However, even though soaplands are places where people have sex, they aren’t officially recognized by the government as such, so I believe there was discussion about how condoms couldn’t be made mandatory. Since there was no internet back then, my source must have been either a magazine or television. I haven’t been able to find the original source, so this is only based on my recollection. If condoms can’t even be made mandatory at soaplands (though in reality, I imagine customers could be banned or penalized by the establishment), then I don’t think Universe Club, which merely provides opportunities for people to meet, could possibly go that far. That said, there is now a system that allows women to evaluate men. After a date, women can submit feedback along the lines of: “I asked him to use protection, but he broke his promise and had unprotected sex without my consent. He’s an awful person.” If they also give him a score of -2 in every category, those negative ratings will accumulate. The club would first issue a warning—essentially telling him to keep his promises so that women don’t continue giving him poor evaluations. If the bad scores kept piling up even after that, he would be forcibly banned from the club. If that happened, I think only good men who genuinely care about women would remain at the club, just as the questioner hopes.

I’m Kazu, a male member. The club doesn’t get involved in relationships between individuals. What is this suggestion to facilitate prostitution? Also, please direct your requests to the branch office.

I’m a flag maker and a column writer. If they turned that into a rule, Universal Studios would probably go under.
