I’m the person who posted about telling my father about my papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan).
This content is machine-translated.
After calmly reflecting on everyone’s feedback, I realized that since I’m an adult, I didn’t need to tell my parents, and that I was wrong to tell him when I consider how he must have felt.
From now on, I won’t talk about it at all. I’ll also be careful about telling my mother, since everything gets passed on to my father.
Thank you for your frank feedback.
It’s wonderful that you were open-minded enough to listen to different opinions, take them in, and make your own decision.
I hope you find a good papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) arrangement.

No… that’s not what I mean…
If your parents asked what you were doing, could you really tell them, “I’m getting intimate with people I barely know”?
Papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) isn’t a legitimate, officially recognized job, is it? Since you’re not getting intimate with someone you genuinely trust from the start, you do feel some guilt about it, don’t you? That’s what I mean—would you actually tell your parents?
It’s not about being in your 20s and legally an adult, so you don’t have to tell them.
Even at my age, I can’t tell my parents. I’d make them sad, and I’d be ashamed. Take the fact that you do papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) to your grave.

I’m voting for Kamihikōki!
Rather than seeing just anyone, keep your activities discreet and stick with someone who feels truly right to you. That’s what leads to the greatest happiness for everyone—men and women alike.

If your father confessed, “Actually, I do papa-katsu. I wanted to be honest with you and not lie to you of all people,” you’d probably feel awkward, right? Same thing.
RS
I just thought of a very Taro-like answer, so I’ll add it here: Maybe rethinking the distance and relationship you have with your real-life dad is what “papa-katsu” literally means. LOL.

Even doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) is something many people would only tell their father about under very special circumstances.
That said, the world of papa-katsu can sometimes help people work through those unique circumstances.
Because it exists in the shadows rather than the mainstream, I think it’s perfectly fine that it’s something you can never tell the people close to you.
