I feel satisfied when I’m having sex through papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) and when I receive my allowance. It’s not a lie—I truly feel fulfilled.

Which blood test values would be considered abnormal? Can having intimate relationships with multiple unspecified partners actually cause your blood test results to worsen? I can understand if you contracted an STI, though. The idea that you shouldn’t be intimate with multiple people is just society’s prevailing attitude. As living beings, we have sexual desire in order to pass on superior genes, and wanting to do it again is, I believe, a sign of good health.

To show that I’m not seeing a large number of people, I get tested at least once every two months and show the results to my monthly arrangements. Rather than increasing their number too much, stick to a small number of well-mannered papas and enjoy life. If it makes you feel fulfilled, you’ll probably want to do it, so I think that’s a good thing.
