How much allowance do you actually receive from papas in an adult relationship (intimate)? The amount differs depending on whether protection is used or not, right? I’d like to know both pay-per-meeting and monthly arrangements.

Dinner only: I don’t meet anyone for dinner only, so there’s no allowance. On the rare occasion I do meet someone for dinner only, I don’t accept anything, so it’s zero. Pay-per-meeting: 30,000–200,000 yen, depending on the person and their preferences. Monthly arrangement: Only once in the past—30, over 20 years ago. If someone wants to go without a condom, I might suggest getting a vasectomy and, in exchange, having a GPS implanted so they never see anyone else—or letting me monitor them. That said, I’m not actually going to do it. I don’t have that kind of time for surveillance. Marika

First of all, I don’t have an adult relationship with women who have experience without using condoms. I keep my allowance consistent: 1 for dinner only, and 5 for an adult relationship. When someone proposes 6 or more, the condition is that it’s her first time having an adult relationship through papa-katsu (based on her own statement is fine). Even if it’s 6 or more, I still consider whether she’s someone I genuinely want to be with at least once. There was one B-type woman who agreed to have an adult relationship for 6 next time, but her parents found out about her papa-katsu, so we had to say goodbye.

> You mean with or without a condom, right? Only with a condom is an option. > Could you tell me the amounts for both pay-per-meeting and monthly arrangements? Pay-per-meeting is ¥80,000 or more; monthly arrangements are ¥50,000 or ¥100,000 and up.

Following Early-san’s example, I’ll lay out the objective facts. Dinner only: 0–1 Adult relationship (intimate): 3–7 (when it continued for at least three meetings; up to 10 for a one-off) Monthly arrangement: ¥100,000–¥200,000 (outside a club) Dinner only is basically 0, but lately I’ve started offering 1 because it’s become a hassle to discuss it every time. This applies to women I meet several times before moving on to an adult relationship (intimate), such as through B1. That said, I only continue with women who, when I clearly ask during the first meeting, “Would you be open to an adult relationship?” answer yes. I don’t decide the amount based on my evaluation of the woman. I tell them what I’m hoping for, but if she has a preferred amount, I generally proceed at that amount. After that, it comes down to whether I personally want to continue when it’s time to meet again. I consider 5 to be the average amount women ask for—or rather, the most common amount statistically. So with women asking for 5 or more, I weigh the chances of making a new offer and meeting someone better, and only continue with those I still genuinely want to see. Seven is a maximum of three meetings. In one case, after I stopped meeting her, she contacted me later, and after I explained the situation, she lowered it to 5, so we continued for longer. With someone asking for around 6, there have also been cases where things continued long-term without any particular discussion. On the other hand, with 4 or less, even if I’m slightly dissatisfied, I try to find a way to compromise. Some arrangements have continued for four or five years by keeping the distance to about once a month. Whether or not we use protection isn’t so much a measure of my own pleasure as it is a barometer of whether the woman trusts me. I tend to avoid women who are okay with going without protection from the first meeting, since they’re the type who will do that with anyone. But looking back, every woman I’ve continued with long-term has had at least one experience without protection. I don’t mean every time—just that once things become long-term, it sometimes happens naturally. Come to think of it, this may have been the reason things ended with all the women asking for 6 (there were several of them), haha. When you think about it that way, the amount a woman initially asks for may be more complicated than it seems. Taro

It may be exaggerated—or even a lie—but I’ll answer anyway. In my case, things are different inside and outside the club, so I’ll answer separately. That said, I never go without protection, whether it’s through the club or outside it, so I can’t say whether that makes a difference. In fact, going without protection isn’t an option for me at this point. Also, this is based on girls I continued seeing. 【Through the club】 Pay-per-meeting: 10,000 yen for dinner only; 70,000–100,000 yen for an adult relationship (intimate) Monthly arrangement: None 【Outside the club】 Pay-per-meeting: 30,000–100,000 yen for dinner only; 100,000–200,000 yen for an adult relationship (intimate) Monthly arrangement: 500,000 yen That’s about it. I only had one monthly arrangement in the past, and it didn’t work out for me, so I stopped doing them. If you like each other, you naturally make time to meet, and once you develop feelings, whether or not you have an adult relationship (intimate) becomes less of a factor. So even if the frequency of meetings varies, the total usually comes to around 500,000–1,000,000 yen on a pay-per-meeting basis, which I feel isn’t much different from a monthly arrangement.

I’m not particularly a Hanshin Tigers fan, but I once attended a gathering with Kyuji Fujikawa, the former ace closer. The questioner’s blunt, straight-at-the-batter style—very Fujikawa-like—is actually pretty refreshing. That said, if you have any common sense, do you really think the men and women answering questions here would honestly reveal the going rate for such a sensitive topic—and for free? I understand wanting to know the going rate, but shouldn’t you at least share your own sense of what it should be? Fujikawa once said, “I created the image that I always faced batters head-on, and that image helped me a lot. Now that I’ve retired, I can say this: my lifeline was my cutter.” Incidentally, that talk show was also a charity event, so admission was 100,000 yen. My takeaway was: Aren’t you lucky that anonymous question boxes are free to use?

> There’s a difference between using a condom and not using one, right? It only happens when, say, we’re in the bath or things progress naturally and she says, “I can’t hold back—I want to.” With the same girl, there’s no difference to me whether we use one or not.
