I’m a guy in my 30s who does papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)!
This content is machine-translated.
I regularly see one girl, and two months ago she told me she had chlamydia and wanted me to get tested. I went to the hospital and got tested, but the result was negative.
However, it’s been a month since then, and lately I’ve been needing to use the bathroom a lot, so I may have developed chlamydia. Apparently, there can be an incubation period.
What I’m getting at is that I told her about my symptoms, but she said, “It’s fine, we can still meet without protection,” so I saw her yesterday and we were intimate.
Her attitude was basically, “Even if you catch it, you can just go to the hospital, take some medicine, and you’ll be cured!”
Can people really be that casual about STIs? That’s what I’m wondering.
“Can you really be that casual about STIs? That’s what caught my attention!”
Wouldn’t that be better than being told, “You’d better take responsibility for this. How are you planning to make amends for giving someone an STI?”
She may have said it that way because she’s a kind person.
Rather than simply dismissing it as being casual, I think you should at least consider that it may have been an expression of her kindness.
You still haven’t been through enough hardship. Go through more, and learn to become someone who understands other people’s pain.

The kind of situation where someone says, “I’ll meet you bareback,” sounds less like papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) and more like women who are standing on the street or looking for paid sex partners on X, or women who see lots of men through apps.
A woman who sees multiple men at different times in a net café, almost like running a one-person brothel, would probably catch an STI pretty quickly.
That feels a little different from papa-katsu through a dating club, though a few such women may be mixed in.
Not just with papa-katsu—anyone who has sex should understand and be prepared for the possibility of contracting an STI. Preparing in advance is important.
Fuu has a hospital lined up that will test and prescribe medication immediately.
Apparently, taking Vibramycin within 72 hours of sex can have a preventive effect, right? It isn’t covered by insurance, though.
That’s how I’m taking precautions.

She must be pretty casual.

STI testing involves both a window period and a period of possible false positives after treatment. For example, with chlamydia, the window period is 1–3 weeks, and the period during which a false positive may occur after treatment is about four weeks. Since the test detects DNA, it can still come back positive until the dead bacteria are naturally cleared from the body.
There’s also the issue of transmission rates. Apparently, the chance of contracting chlamydia from a single instance of unprotected vaginal sex is 30–50%. Also, only about 50% of infected men develop symptoms, since it can be asymptomatic.
The only way to know whether the person asking the question is infected is to get tested at a hospital.
Chlamydia may indeed be curable with treatment, but having chlamydia also means you may have another STI at the same time—or could contract one in the future. Herpes simplex and HIV cannot be cured once contracted, so if you want to have unprotected sex, I think you should obtain and take preventive medication for those two.

Although people use the term papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) broadly, what it actually involves varies from person to person. Some people engage in prostitution under the label of papa-katsu, while others may view it that way.
If you ultimately met her despite those circumstances, then you must have had a similar mindset to hers. It might help to ask yourself why. If I had doubts, I would get tested and refrain from being intimate with her until I received a negative result, so I can’t understand someone who thinks that way.

Hello,
This is Kosaka from the staff team.
Before asking, “Can people really be that casual about STIs?” I believe a gentleman shouldn’t meet a woman even if she says, “I’m fine meeting without protection.”
Also, please go to the hospital immediately.
