Lately, it feels like scrutiny of dating clubs has been getting stricter. For those of you who are already members, is this something you worry about?
I’m interested, but I still can’t quite bring myself to take the plunge. I’d appreciate any advice.

I don’t think the men themselves are likely to be arrested.
If the club is raided, however, celebrities or people in prominent positions could risk having their membership exposed and ending up sensationalized in weekly magazines or the like.

Even if your identity is discovered, you’ll be fine as long as you don’t do anything that could lead to being caught. I also have women who’ve been seeing me for a long time, and I enjoy the relationships.

I think it’s unlikely that an individual would suddenly be investigated for violating the Anti-Prostitution Law.
That said, if public backlash grows—for example, if dating clubs become widely perceived as hotbeds of prostitution—the authorities probably won’t sit back. The organizations themselves would likely be targeted for punishment, but individual members might at least be questioned.
Since there are no penalties for buying or selling sex as an individual, I don’t think it would cost someone their social standing.
Today’s lesson:
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
So I guess you have to enter the hole first.

What exactly are you afraid of being investigated or arrested for?
No one can guarantee that you won’t be investigated, so you’ll need to identify and assess the risks for yourself.
As you can probably tell from my answer, personally, I’m not worried at all about being investigated simply because I’m a member of a dating club that has filed the required notification under the relevant ordinance. I might be concerned if an ordinance banning dating clubs were introduced.
As an aside, apps keep records of your conversations, so if an investigation into facilitation were to take place, I think apps would make it easier to establish evidence of prostitution. With dating clubs, it would probably be clubs that list the allowance in the profile.
