I’m a male member. Are female members who offer unprotected sex as an add-on for a higher allowance escorts, or are they professional papa-katsu girls? I’ve been using the club for a year and a half, and this is the first time anyone has ever suggested it.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here. Actually, women gather information from all kinds of sources too. There may be information-sharing groups among women, and women involved in similar arrangements sometimes become friends and exchange information. So even a woman who initially thought she was okay with going bare may eventually hear something like: “Wait, you’re going bare for that allowance? That’s unbelievable.” That’s how some women come to realize that going bare has value. Information like “this is the allowance for bare,” and “this is the allowance with protection,” gets passed around between women as if it were fact. So regardless of whether she’s a professional, some women will ask for extra if it’s bare. Of course, some women research papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) before getting started, so even someone doing it for the first time may say things like that. You can’t judge whether she’s a professional papa-katsu girl based on that, and I don’t think there’s any point worrying about it. Besides, if the allowance you offer from the beginning is higher than what she wants, the subject of extra for going bare won’t even come up. You should reconsider how low the allowance you offered really is. Also, the reason women can ask for extra if it’s bare is that so many men want to go bare. You may not realize it, but you could also think of it as people like you being the reason things have become this way. I think you should give it a little more thought.

This is Nana Ayase ♡ So, you don’t want sex that feels like nothing more than a superficial business transaction with a sex worker, right? Unprotected sex is an option, huh? If he’s doing it unprotected with other women too, I think there’s a good chance he has an STD. Older men often act as though unprotected sex is perfectly normal. They’ll say, “I’ll pull out,” but once he’s inside you, STDs are more frightening than the possibility of pregnancy. When someone says things like that, even if we’re already naked in the hotel room, I’ll take only the transportation money partway through and refund the rest. Don’t fall for that kind of sales pitch.

I’m a male member, Paper Airplane. That goes beyond wind and even professionals, so you could say she herself has some kind of special ability. If she can say that much, she probably has plenty of experience and variety as well. If that suits you, great; if not, I think it’s perfectly fine to pass.

I’m Dai, a male club member. I understand wanting to keep the club separate from the sex industry. So, is it that you were told, “If you want it without a condom, it’ll be this amount,” even though you never asked for that? (Since you said penetration was with a condom…) With sex-industry services, I think the options are fairly straightforward: intercourse with a condom, unprotected sex with withdrawal, or ejaculation inside. With a professional sugar baby, though, the options may be broken down more specifically—for example, holding hands might be 0.5, and so on. Personally, I’m afraid of infections, so I only have intercourse with a condom. If a woman says going without one is fine, I assume she’s doing that with various men, so I’d rather cut ties.

I’m Flagmaker, a columnist. Is there really any need to decide whether “a woman who offers unprotected sex as an add-on for extra allowance” is a sex worker or a professional sugar baby? There weren’t many clues or much information to go on, so I tried a tarot reading—and it came up “sex worker.”

I’m Kazu, a male member. I tend to think women who set up options are straightforward and easy to deal with. Whether she’s a professional papa-katsu girl or a sex worker, I’m fine with anything as long as she’s pleasant when we’re together. I understand wanting to know what goes on behind the scenes, but once you get closer, she’ll show you that side in time. If you want to know her behind-the-scenes life, don’t rush around—just stay composed and focus on being a good partner.
