Papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) during the pandemic.
This content is machine-translated.
A scout I know told me:
“If you start papa-katsu now, there are already too many women doing it, and it’s become so popular that men are more casual about it than they used to be, so you probably won’t get that much of an allowance, right?
If you’re willing to have an adult relationship (intimate), you might as well work in the adult entertainment industry.”
Of course, since he’s a scout, there’s no doubt he would profit if I entered the adult entertainment industry.
Still, I’m a little worried about whether I can realistically register with Universe now and find a wonderful papa (a male supporter).
Personally, I think the difference between the adult entertainment industry and papa-katsu is that with papa-katsu, you can choose who you meet.
Of course, I imagine it also depends on my looks, though...
People often say that in the adult entertainment industry, you can’t choose your clients, but that’s not really true—at least for popular workers.
Every establishment sends plenty of customers your way when you’re new.
From there, you exchange personal contact information with repeat customers who seem relatively safe and tolerable, then arrange for them to come in on your scheduled workdays.
If you handle it well, within about three months you may no longer have openings for new customers—in other words, you become someone who’s nearly impossible to book.
Most establishments tell you not to exchange contact information privately because it carries risks, but the same risks exist with dating clubs too.
The one decisive difference is that the rates are lower. Since the establishment is involved, it takes 50% of what you earn.
With a dating club, 100% goes to you, so if you receive plenty of offers, I think you can enjoy working more than you would in the adult entertainment industry.

If all you want is money, go work in the adult entertainment industry.
Young women who are constantly saying “money, money” would definitely earn more there, so I don’t understand why they don’t go.
If you don’t want to deal with poor men, go to a high-end establishment.
A dating club is where a papa (a male supporter) smiles, chats, has a good time, then may want to get closer, become intimate, and eventually develop feelings.
If you don’t want any of that and just want to get paid every time you show up, then please go work in the adult entertainment industry.
But if you’re saying, “No, I want to fall in love with an older man,” then go to a dating club.

As you said, the main difference between sex work and papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) is that you can choose who you see. Compatibility on dates and in conversation—not just an intimate relationship—is important too.
Which one you can earn more from depends on whether it suits you, so I think you should choose whichever you prefer.
That said, scouts are basically only interested in money, so you don’t need to take everything they say to heart.

Since sex work is a job, you have almost no choice in the matter.
With papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), if you don’t like your papa (a male supporter), you can turn down an adult relationship (intimate). Even if you’re already seeing him, you can still end things. The important difference is that you have the right to choose.
You won’t know unless you try, so why not start by registering with Universe?

I imagine scouts get a cut through dating clubs too. The adult-services industry seems to be going through tough times as well.
By the way, what was your question again?

Most people from the adult entertainment industry register with a dating club because they can date the kind of person they prefer.
In the adult entertainment industry, you have to deal with people you may not even like, so I imagine it can be tough.
If your main goal is to make money, you’ll probably earn more in the adult entertainment industry.
However, if you enjoy spending time with people, and you’re comfortable with an adult relationship (intimate) being part of it, a dating club might suit you better.
If that’s the case, I’d suggest registering with a dating club first and seeing how it goes for about six months.
If you then decide you’d rather focus on earning more, it won’t be too late to move into the adult entertainment industry.
The opposite doesn’t work as well. Many men at Universe think that if they want to meet a woman from the adult entertainment industry, they can simply go there, so there’s no need to meet her through the club. That can actually work against you.
