I recently saw on X that the club profile of someone who had appeared in a beauty pageant was leaked, which made me worry about information related to my activities here.

That’s fabricated. These days, AI can fabricate just about anything, so ironically, I feel like we’ve entered an era where it’s easier to feel reassured. Even an image of me doing a standing rear-entry position with a celebrity could be fabricated in no time. As for an uplifting quote—this isn’t exactly one, but apparently there are plenty of male members at Universe Club who offer ¥100,000 or more on a pay-per-meeting basis. Men who offer ¥100,000 or more per meeting also tend to keep the dates fairly short. If they have money to spare, they’re probably working extremely hard, so they can’t set aside much time for dates. No meal—just go straight to a hotel, have sex, and part ways. From meeting to leaving, the whole thing takes about two hours. From a woman’s perspective, isn’t that pretty good in terms of both cost and time efficiency? This is based on my own experience, but continuing a transactional relationship actually makes you grow closer. Offer about twice the going rate each time and keep the dates short. If you continue that for years, you can reach the other side of papa-katsu. It’s not exactly a famous quote, but did that cheer you up?

① Probably not, right? I’ve never heard of one. ② You could probably sue, but what would you sue them for? Defamation? Even if things went well and you won, I don’t think it would be worth the trouble at all. I write pretty provocative things myself, so I used to have haters, and it honestly wouldn’t have been surprising if someone had exposed who I was. But so far, nobody has gone that far. From the perspective of someone considering exposing another person’s private information, I think the risk outweighs the benefit when it comes to leaking the questioner’s albums or personal details. If the person were famous, a weekly magazine might buy the story. And if it were a lengthy, well-made intimate video, they might be able to monetize it on FC2 or somewhere similar. But these days, even if someone posted nothing more than “This person does papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)!” on social media, how many people would actually care? It’s not impossible if there’s some serious grudge involved, or if you stole someone’s man. But nowadays, the person doing the exposing could easily get exposed and attacked themselves, so there’s that risk too. Besides, I think the questioner could get away with it by shedding some tears and insisting, “I think it was AI-generated.” As for a famous quote, there’s no need for me to come up with one. There’s already a good one: “Infamy is better than obscurity.” The questioner should aim to become the kind of person whose personal information going public would make everyone go, “Whoa!” and spread it everywhere. You’re not there yet, are you? I need to keep working on myself too, haha. Wasn’t there a female university student who used to do papa-katsu with a former Niigata governor, got exposed, and then became a rapper and YouTuber afterward? If your information does get spread around, let’s live with the mindset of turning it to our advantage and using it to rise up. “Even when you fall, don’t get back up empty-handed.” A person’s true worth is revealed when they fall. P.S. Come to think of it, I once had a girl I was seeing enter a beauty pageant. One of the judges was a male member of Univ, and after the preliminaries he asked her, “You’re on Univ, aren’t you?” She was startled, but apparently they hit it off and she ended up getting a new papa (a male supporter). I guess that’s just how the world works. This quote came to mind: “An Univ profile is an attractive woman’s business card.” What do you think? P.S. 2 The pageant profile the questioner mentioned—isn’t it for one of those apps that are easy for both men and women to join? If so, that makes sense. Since they’re so easy to register for, information probably leaks more easily too. With Univ, men have to pay a decent amount to join, after all. People with money have more to lose, so they tend to act more cautiously. Come to think of it, I heard that women on Sugardaddy have recently stopped posting their face photos altogether. Bonus I wrote a column, but the views aren’t increasing at all, so please come and read it if you have a chance(^^; This just occurred to me, but since Maezawa is currently managing the columns and question box, wouldn’t it be nice if he announced here whenever a new column article was posted? What do you think?

That’s a good question. No matter how careful you are, information can still end up being leaked. For example, there was recently an incident in which the My Number information of five million people was leaked to China. There was also news about Asahi leaking 1.5 million customer records, and Askul having the personal information of approximately 740,000 customers and employees—including names, email addresses, and phone numbers—leaked externally. So, no matter how careful you are, the possibility of a leak is never zero. Also, if someone takes a screenshot, there’s a chance that information could be passed on to a third party. In that case, it becomes difficult to identify who leaked it. It would be nice if browsers evolved further and introduced a system that could prevent screenshots, but there doesn’t seem to be any movement toward that at the moment. So, while we take basic precautions to prevent leaks and haven’t had any leaks, our measures aren’t perfect, so it remains a possibility. That said, I don’t think there’s anywhere in the world that can protect your information perfectly. I recommend considering everything carefully and only proceeding once you’re comfortable with it. > I assume they would at least cooperate if they received a disclosure request from the police. Do you mean that you know who leaked the information and want their address and other details disclosed? In that case, it wouldn’t be a warrant from the police, but a warrant issued by a court. (The police would request that the court issue the warrant.) Disclosure would be made based on that warrant. Sorry if this is confusing, but when it comes to protecting personal information, I think it’s reasonable to trust a warrant issued following a court’s decision. P.S. > Wouldn’t it be good if you announced here whenever a new article was posted in the column? I don’t have a problem with that, but until now, I’ve hidden posts that weren’t questions, so I wasn’t sure it was appropriate for me to post something that wasn’t a question in the Q&A section. Instead, I moved the latest experience articles to the top of the sidebar and changed the site so that a “NEW” label appears for 10 days after an article is posted.

Even outside the club, I’ve heard women say things like, “I can’t live without you” and, from women other than their wives, “You’re my life partner—I can’t be without you.” Apparently, club women can say these things too. Because the relationship is tied together by money, you keep giving and receiving from each other forever, and there’s no end to what you can offer one another. Unlike romantic love, it doesn’t fade even after years. As that connection continues over a long period of time, I think it can become deeper than a relationship between lovers. With a romantic partner, the level of passion doesn’t usually increase after several years compared with the beginning. The fact that the passion grows by continuing to give to each other… papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) is truly something else. In some ways, it can even be a relationship stronger than marriage. If you feel there’s no chance of meeting someone who could develop into that kind of relationship, you should leave the club immediately. But if you can hold on to even the slightest hope that it might happen, I think it’s fine to continue. That possibility is no different in papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) than in any other place where people meet. In the end, it comes down to luck. You don’t have to be so guarded or tense about it. Even in papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), you can sometimes have wonderful encounters that seem to transcend papa-katsu from the very beginning. I think it’s good to enjoy all kinds of experiences as part of your life. Until now, I’d thought marriage through an arranged introduction was out of the question… But when I meet women from the club, I sometimes think, “Wait… could it be that with an arranged marriage, your affection might keep deepening throughout your entire life?” A club woman doesn’t necessarily fall in love with a papa (a male supporter) at first sight, based on his looks or personality, nor does she immediately develop romantic feelings. The relationship simply begins with meeting, and continues from there. She doesn’t fall in love right away—and of course, she may never fall in love with him romantically. But by meeting repeatedly, affection grows. By continuing the relationship, gratitude, mutual dependence, and the bond between them deepen. As they continue to receive what they each want from the relationship, their feelings gradually grow beyond romance into a sense that they need each other in an unchanging way… That continuity is something else. It’s stronger than the bond between a married couple. Mr. Makeotoko: > If you keep it going for years… Exactly. I don’t think the allowance amount or the length of the dates has anything to do with it. That’s because you’re you, Mr. Makeotoko. Oh, now that I think about it— > Give about twice the going rate for a pay-per-meeting arrangement, keep the dates relatively short, and continue that for years. You can reach the other side of papa-katsu. That probably does apply in general. Maybe I’m an exception… lol.

Well, this happened quite a while ago, but the email addresses of the male members at the branch I belonged to were leaked. Everyone’s addresses were visible, so I could see who else was registered and think, “Oh, he’s on here too.” At the same time, it meant that people could find out about me, which was embarrassing. My point is that information stored on computers can potentially be leaked.

If you’re a celebrity, public figure, influencer, or someone similar, you might have a problem if your information or photos were leaked. But I don’t think most people are that interested in leaked content involving an ordinary person. If you’re well-known and being identified would be unacceptable, I’d recommend staying away from this activity. If you’re an ordinary person, it’s unlikely to go viral anyway, so even if something were leaked... You could take legal action, but once it spreads on Instagram or X, a “digital tattoo” won’t disappear. Suing probably wouldn’t accomplish much, and it would be extremely difficult to determine exactly where it originated. Platforms don’t even crack down on things like Horie-mon scam videos. In the case of Universe Club, both people are members and the content is limited to a relatively small group, so the chances of it being leaked are low. I think couple videos posted on Instagram or X are far more likely to become a digital tattoo, though...
