How do people who earn most of their income through papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) without holding a regular job envision their future?
This content is machine-translated.
There are also people here who have multiple papas (male supporters), receive expensive gifts, and show them off. When they start to lose their appeal and their value as a product disappears, are they mentally prepared to accept that?
Or are they living as if the present is all that matters, shutting their ears to anything else?
I saw an article about women in their 30s working in the adult entertainment industry being pushed into dire circumstances by COVID-19, and it made me wonder whether they don’t see their future selves in that situation. That’s why I’m asking.
I’m Rin, a female member.
Thank you for your concern.
That said, at least the women who took the time to respond—including me—are far more knowledgeable, forward-thinking, and aware of our position than you are.
So, yes—your concern is entirely unwarranted.

Momo and I talked about receiving somewhat expensive gifts, but both of us have proper jobs! Naturally, we earn far more from our work than from our allowances.
I’m already in my mid-40s, so I’m fully aware that my looks have faded and my “value” as a product is no longer what it once was.

I’m Maezawa from the CEO’s Office, and I’ll answer this as well.
Thank you for your question.
> I see people who seem to flaunt it,
First of all, people who are genuinely successful don’t flaunt it. They quietly receive large sums of money.
Those who do flaunt it may be mixing in a desire to become that kind of person—or perhaps they’re doing it as part of a strategy.
> Are they mentally prepared to accept it when they grow older and lose their value as a commodity?
The same can be said of men. The idea that having a permanent job means you’re safe seems outdated—a relic of the days when simply joining a company meant your salary would automatically rise until retirement under the seniority-based system.
Also, if women need to be mentally prepared to accept the day when they grow older and lose their value as a commodity, then it seems men would need that preparation too—even if they become business owners or company executives.
Ultimately, I think this also raises the question of whether men or women really need to prepare themselves mentally for such a thing at all.

It’s someone else’s life, so let’s just leave them alone. If you really want to prevent other people’s misfortune, I hear there are many people in Africa facing hardships that they can’t overcome through their own efforts. Why not try donating, even if it’s only a little, to help reduce the number of people in that situation?
P.S.
The woman who answered was simply responding because she was asked. Calling her an attention-seeker is rude.
