Papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) and being a mistress are different, right?

I’m a male member named Basil. They may have originally been considered the same thing, but with all the dramas and such, younger women probably see them as separate concepts now. Personally, I think of them roughly like this: Papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan): broad, shallow relationships with various men, sometimes including physical intimacy Mistress: a deep emotional and physical relationship with one particular person Amateur-style escorting: broad in terms of partners; whatever the emotional connection, the physical relationship is more intimate

I'm Kazu, a male member. When asking a question, please explain what makes you think they're different and why you'd like to know. For starters, papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) refers to an activity, whereas “mistress” refers to a person or a relationship, so they are different.
