For those who support multiple women, which type is more common?

I’m Fuu, a columnist. To begin with, I don’t really think of it as “keeping” anyone. I’m seeing multiple people, and the women are seeing multiple people too. We’re considerate of each other so that neither of us feels uncomfortable or experiences any negativity. That’s how I view the relationship.

I’m Flag Maker, a column writer. The key is not to say anything unnecessary. And don’t ask women unnecessary questions, either. Bring it down to a one-on-one battle. That’s all there is to it.

I’m Aya, a female member. With option 1, there’s a higher chance she’ll cut you off if she realizes you’re a woman. Even if she doesn’t, you might just end up as her ATM and get controlled instead… A woman’s jealousy can be frightening.

I’m Kazu, a male member. I held back from answering because there had been a string of what were barely questions, and I thought my response might be hidden. But since it doesn’t look like it’ll be deleted, I’ll answer after all（笑） The wording of the options presented, starting with “letting her dream,” bothers me a little, but setting that aside: I’m open about it. There are three reasons. 1. Keeping up lies is a hassle. When you’re hiding things, you have to check everything in your head before saying it out loud so that nothing doesn’t add up later. It’s tiring and bothersome. I don’t want to pay money just to make myself tired. 2. If you want excitement but keep secrets, you’ll miss out on interesting stories. One reason I form these casual, unconventional relationships through compensated dating is to take the weight off my balls, but I also do it because I’m looking for stimulation. The candid stories from women’s perspectives—stories you can only hear because these relationships are casual and unconventional—are incredibly interesting. It would be such a waste if hiding things created a filter that made it harder to hear the most interesting parts. 3. The presence of other women leads to improvements. This wasn’t intentional at first, but a few months after joining the club, I discovered that this was one of the benefits. When a woman asks about someone I see frequently and I tell her what we do together, she can use it as a reference for our relationship. If I tell her what worked well with A, B might imitate it or add her own touch, and that creates a positive cycle. It’s what you might call “kaizen.” Kaizen requires sharing information and making things visible. The downside is probably that women won’t develop serious feelings for me. But I want to be a papa (a male supporter) women genuinely like; I don’t want them to fall seriously in love with me, so I don’t see that as a problem. Whether or not to hide seeing multiple women depends on what the person wants out of compensated dating.

I’m a losing-player male member. I’m a 1. The woman I’m seeing also says, “You’re the only one, Loser,” and lets me keep dreaming. As long as the allowance is generous, there won’t be any trouble even if she gets found out. How would it even get found out in the first place? If anything, it would only be through an STI, right? Let’s get tested for STIs twice a month—everything: chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, mycoplasma, ureaplasma, and so on. Throat swabs too. But lately, I’ve started feeling like sex is boring. Going on a regular date with an A-type girl is more fun. The A-type girl I’m currently seeing is unbelievably gorgeous. You should try going after A-types too!

I think it’s easier in many ways to be open about it from the start—especially if you’re new enough to be asking about it here. Marika Ah, you mean the pecking order once everything’s out in the open? You can just go by feel.
