I’m a male member in my 40s.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here, and I’ll answer this as well. Thank you for your question. If you meet with more women than you can handle, I think it can happen temporarily. But after a while, you’ll probably want to meet them again, so don’t worry. It also seems quite unlikely that your sex drive and other desires will simply disappear altogether.

It’s Me here. I’m the type who prefers to bring up any obstacles to continuing the relationship as soon as they arise, rather than overthinking things—and I’d like women to say what’s on their minds too. If that leads to the relationship ending sooner, both people can start looking for someone else. And sometimes, precisely because the issue was brought up early, a surprisingly simple solution can be found and the relationship can continue on good terms.

I’m Flagmaker, a columnist. For me, the moment I lose interest—even temporarily—it’s time to end things. If I find myself thinking, “I’m just not feeling it with this woman,” then it’s over.

I’m Paper Airplane, a male club member. There are times when I feel empty, too. At a club, you meet all kinds of men and women, and I think that’s perfectly fine. Just like women, men may also find themselves wondering: “Is this club right for me? Do I really need it? Will it last?” They may hesitate over whether to quit or take a break, or they may only have one—or just a few—partners. Some people want a one-on-one type of relationship. Some enjoy maintaining good relationships with two or three partners. Others happily continue seeing even more people. There are many different ways to enjoy a club, and I’m sure people seek and find one another in all sorts of ways. These days, there are fewer evening dates, and if opportunities to meet become less frequent, perhaps both men and women are entering a phase where they can sort things out and recognize which relationships they truly need. Also, the questioner is still young, being in their 40s. Once you’re past 50, all that’s left is waiting to die… Your late 40s are when life is at its most mature. Outside the club, too, it’s a valuable time when you can still be active in your work, society, and relationships with others—not to mention as a woman. It wouldn’t be surprising for something you can truly immerse yourself in to appear at any time. A turning point that brings fulfillment may emerge when you least expect it. I think this is also an age when you can experience the various changes within yourself.

I’m Kazu, a male member. By “losing interest,” do you mean reaching a point where you no longer feel like seeing your dating partner? I’ve never felt that way. If I still like her as a person and feel it would be a shame to part ways, then I believe I should continue giving her an allowance. Some women would be in financial trouble if they suddenly stopped receiving one. I think it’s a man’s responsibility to look after a woman he likes who is relying on him for help.
