I’m seeing a private-practice doctor in his 60s on a monthly arrangement.

Creative writing inspiration, lol. I’m thinking about joining a club, but I’m having trouble deciding how to register my relationship preferences. Are there any male members looking for a relationship without intimate physical contact? So you’re the person asking that question. What’s real and what’s fiction? Is it all fiction? It seems like a waste to ask here. You could probably sell it on Amazon as a novel. Amazing. It’s fine—it’s entertaining. I’m looking forward to your next installment.

I regularly see a self-employed doctor in his 60s. He’s handsome and wealthy, takes me to stylish restaurants for lunch every time, and things are good between us physically—good enough to make me want to do it twice. We meet about twice a month on Thursdays, his day off. He gives me the full allowance I ask for each time and adjusts the date duration to suit my schedule. I often hear that doctors pay higher allowances, but I’m happy with what I receive now. I’m also seeing an executive at a leading company. He takes me to delicious restaurants in central Tokyo and gives me a monthly allowance of 300,000 yen at the beginning of each month, in return for meeting three times a month on a regular basis. The dates are about the same length. These are the only two men I’m seeing, but the executive papa has recently asked me to meet him regularly four times a month from now on. He’s single, and although we receive an allowance-based arrangement, we’re also dating as boyfriend and girlfriend. There are so many wonderful papas on Universe that it’s almost overwhelming. Something like that?

Thank you for helping me pass the time with a little break. I truly appreciate it.

Because you refunded the 65-year-old man with the wart, you didn’t end up juggling three papas at once and go over your limit. The same poster is moving back and forth between her teens and twenties over the course of a few days—it feels like she’s arrived at the convergence point of parallel worlds in a science-fiction novel.

You’re the one who went on an overnight date to Kobe during a typhoon, got finished inside when you were still a teenager, and broke things off with the person giving you ¥100,000 a month after refunding the money, right? From what I’ve heard from both male and female members I know, it doesn’t seem like doctors necessarily give higher allowances. If you believe your time is limited, then I suppose the balance between money and time is currently tipping toward time. In that case, you could simply reduce how often you see that private practitioner—or end things. Even if you learned from the refund situation that setting a fixed number of meetings per month has its drawbacks, you should know better by now. I think a pay-per-meeting arrangement would be simpler and better. As for you, Mac, almost all of your posts for over a year have been bait. How ridiculous.

Sorry, I’m a guy. But I’ll try writing this as if I were a woman. If it were me, I’d either ① drop the doctor-papa and stick with just the executive-papa, or ② tell the doctor-papa, “I’m busy, so I can only see you once a month.” I’d decide based on my financial situation. Since the questioner is a female member of Universe Club, does that mean she isn’t getting offers from anyone besides these two and can’t add more papas? If so, I’d go with option ②. In that case, there is a risk that the doctor-papa might start looking for someone new during the time she’s unavailable. But if you worry about everything that much, you’ll never be able to do anything. The executive-papa saying he wants to see her four times a month on a monthly arrangement is fantastic news. Wag your tail and jump at the opportunity—make that your absolute priority. When your owner wants to pet you, that’s exactly when you should eagerly offer your head. Don’t play hard to get; say, “I’m so happy!” and give him a big hug. It’s cuter that way. A clinic owner must be really bored on days when the clinic is closed. Doctors are often fairly well-off, but I think they can be pretty stingy about how they spend their money. Once you take away the “doctor” title, the questioner’s doctor-papa is just an old man with too much free time, so I don’t see much room for improvement there. I think it’s fine to gradually fade out. > Kazu Oh, I see—it was bait. You got me. I should’ve realized it when the poster specifically asked for answers from female respondents. Creepy. > Kazu 2 In my case, I’m just waiting for reverse offers from girls who read my answers, thought “That makes sense,” and took a liking to me, so the question itself can be completely made up for all I care. I guess I’m baiting people too, lol.
