This is my first time asking a question.

> I get the impression that most members are married. Is that actually the case? Who knows? If that’s what you think, then maybe it is. And if you don’t think so, maybe it isn’t. > If so, wouldn’t that make it an affair? Wouldn’t their wives find out? They’ll find out if they’re going to find out, and they won’t if they aren’t. I think God decides based on the questioner’s everyday conduct.

These days, there are quite a few men who never marry or are divorced, so I imagine many such men are registered there as well. Also, if you’re dating a married man, it’s best to manage the risks while paying close attention to him and the situation. In any case, it really depends on the person.

If you’re asking whether there are risks, then yes, there are. There’s also the risk of STIs, haha. And you can’t say there’s zero chance of running into a stalker, a mentally unstable person, or some other dangerous individual. This is kind of like asking whether street racers on the Shuto Expressway ever get caught or have accidents. Sorry, it’s not the most relatable comparison, but while the probability isn’t zero, most people don’t end up in trouble. And the longer someone has been doing it, the safer they tend to be—because they understand the risks. Sexual harassment regulations have become stricter, and some people do actually end up losing their jobs over it. But people who are used to dating and playing the field often avoid causing those kinds of problems. They understand the risks and know how to close the distance appropriately. That’s completely different from people who approach others recklessly, driven by nothing but their desires. If you do register with a dating club, you should carefully assess whether the person you meet is that kind of individual. Taro

You can get caught and end up having to pay compensation. It can range from ¥300,000 to ¥3 million, depending on how badly it damages the marriage. If it ends with just arguments between the couple, it might be ¥300,000; if they get divorced, it could be ¥3 million. I genuinely know two people this happened to. One of them started papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) because she needed money, but ended up having to do even more papa-katsu to pay the compensation. I’ve also heard a story—though it wasn’t papa-katsu—about a woman who was sued for compensation by her affair partner’s wife. She asked the man she’d had the affair with to pay half, but he refused. I heard that directly from her as a personal complaint. This just occurred to me, but if a man and his wife were working together, the man could first engage in papa-katsu—or just have an affair—and then have his wife come forward and demand compensation. That would basically be a honey trap. Actually, it wouldn’t even have to be his wife. He could use a woman pretending to be his wife and stage the whole thing himself to demand compensation. So if a man found a papa-katsu girl who seemed sexually available and likely to have money, he could bring in his “wife” and run a honey trap on her. I don’t know of any actual examples, but theoretically, it seems possible.
