For men, isn’t a dating club essentially just a “customizable escort service”? I don’t think dressing it up with nicer-sounding words like “dates” or “mistress” can really hide that reality. The reason it’s more expensive than an escort service is that the price includes “the privilege of being able to make demands.”

I’m Saito, a columnist♪ I use dating clubs to meet women who don’t work at places like delivery health services or soaplands. So, I guess that’s about it? lol By the way, I use both delivery health services and soaplands, but I don’t really distinguish between them. After all, there’s no meaning in the act itself—it’s just putting it in a hole.

Maezawa here. When you try to lump everything into broad categories, you can end up steering the discussion in whatever direction suits your argument. For example, you could say, “Isn’t marriage essentially a delivery-based sex service with no fixed contract period?” But generally speaking, there aren’t many people who see it that way. An escort club is an escort club. As it has become this commonplace, there’s probably no longer any need to rephrase what it really is. I hope it leads to wonderful encounters where both people feel they’ve found someone they truly like.
