I’m a fourth-year university student living with my family, doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) while also working a part-time job.

To reduce the risk of my family or acquaintances finding out, I’ve limited myself to one papa (a male supporter), telling him, “It’s because I like you.” I currently see him about once a month. He seems busy with work and possibly other girls, so I don’t think we’ll be able to meet more often. I have very few classes right now and plenty of free time, and I’ll be living on my own starting next spring, so I’d like to increase my income by finding more papas. (Of course, since I want to earn money, I’m considering papa-katsu rather than a regular part-time job. I’m avoiding nightlife work because I’d get home late, and adult entertainment because I feel there’s a higher risk of being identified through information left online.) My papa has said it’s fine for me to get a boyfriend, but I’m sure he wouldn’t be happy if I told him I wanted to find other papas as well. The papa-katsu community also seems small, so even if I tried to hide it, I feel like he’d find out eventually. The worst-case scenario would be failing to find a new papa—or finding someone incompatible—and then being cut off by my current papa. I know it’s a selfish desire, but I want to avoid that while still increasing my income. I’d appreciate advice on the best way to go about this. I’d especially like to hear from male members about how they would feel and respond if a papa-katsu woman who had previously been exclusive with them said she wanted to find more papas. I’d also appreciate hearing from female members about what they would do in my position. Sorry for the long post. Thank you in advance.
