Recently, a Saitama employee at the tax bureau resigned after it was found that she was doing sex work on the side.
Abema Times reported that the Saitama employee was doing sex work to fund her support for an underground idol. She earning approximately ¥1.8 million working at five brothels. She also did sugar dating (papakatsu), receiving about ¥500,000 in compensation from around 30 men.
The employee was punished with a pay cut, though she chose to resign.
This is not the first time that civil servants have been disciplined for working in sex establishments.
It follows a similar story ...
Everyone is at compensated dating. Even the taxman. Or rather, the tax woman.
The Kanto-Shinetsu Regional Taxation Bureau has imposed a 20% pay cut on a female employee working at a tax office in Saitama Prefecture for working at adult entertainment establishments without permission and receiving payment for it.
This is a moot point, though, since the employee in question has since resigned.
According to the Kanto-Shinetsu Regional Taxation Bureau, the female employee in her twenties worked at five adult entertainment establishments without permission between October of last year and March ...
The tabloid weekly Friday has published a story about a pregnant woman in Japan who did papakatsu sugar dating, earning around ¥8 million in 10 months.
Eriko (a pseudonym) explained to the magazine that she and her older husband dated for 10 years and have been married now for seven. Now at age 36, she is finally pregnant with their first child.
"I work as an office lady, but I've actually been doing sugar dating [compensated dating with a sugar daddy] since before I got pregnant. The regular allowances I received were the main source of my income. So, while I was happy to be pregnant, I ...
Since retiring from porn in August 2023, Yua Mikami has regularly stirred up controversy. Firstly by appearing to date two male singers at once. Secondly by pursuing her efforts to work in mainstream fashion through her own brand MISTREASS and by modeling for others, which some consider inappropriate given her previous line of work.
The 32-year-old YouTuber and celebrity will clearly do anything for a quick buck, including launching her own meme coin.
Her latest gig is serving as brand ambassador for papakatsu app mypappy, which she announced earlier this month. It has provoked a decidedly ...
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who will watch the watchmen?
It's a rare Tokyo Kinky article that begins with a Latin quotation, but sometimes the story justifies such a flourish. And this one is almost stranger than fiction.
Superintendent Koji Tsujimoto has been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting an underage girl. He was a leading figure in Osaka police's "eliminate sugar daddy crime" squad, but it turns that he was himself engaged in sugar daddying (papakatsu) with the girl.
The 53-year-old, who was part of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters Public Safety Special ...
Another day, another news story about Okubo Park prostitution as the moral panic over street walkers in the area and Kabukicho host club debt and addiction continues.
The latest tale of woe is the arrest of a 53-year-old man, Atsuhiro Kodama, on child prostitution charges on October 18, after he took a 16-year-old high schooler he picked up in Okubo Park to a nearby love hotel.
To pay for her obsession with male underground idols (chika idol), she apparently starting doing papakatsu (sugar daddy compensated dating). Someone on social media told her that you can earn a lot of money doing ...
The tabloid Weekly Friday has reported on two scammers who are terrorizing unsuspecting men they pick up through dating and matchmaking apps.
The first is dubbed Glans Dash Yuri.
Yuri apparently agrees to meet guys on an app for compensated dating. She sets the fee as ¥20,000 and they meet somewhere like outside a fast food restaurant near Seibu Shinjuku Station, which is a short walk to the love hotels in Okubo-Kabukicho.
They go to a really basic love hotel with a small room, bed, and shower (these may not even be in a love hotel but just a "rental room" in a multi-tenant building). ...
Just a few days after we reported on the ongoing police crackdown in Kabukicho over drugs, prostitution, and delinquency.
These reports appear literally almost daily now. Hosts arrested for extracting debt payments in dubious ways, such as introducing women to pimps. Young women arrested for soliciting on the street. It's a never-ending conveyor belt of moral outrage, dutifully reported in the mainstream media.
The most shocking stories are those that involve underage girls: some hosts are so desperate for money and so unscrupulous that they exploit minors.
The latest story is in a similar ...
More bad news about compensated dating now as the moral panic over papakatsu continues.
Papakatsu is a kind of newish buzzword to describe compensated dating that involves an older man and younger woman (though in practice, compensated dating often meant such sugar daddy relationships regardless of terminology).
Following media stories about female fraudsters and even at least one murder, it helps to remember that the men are not always the victim here -- and since they're the ones with the money, quite the opposite in many cases.
The young women involved in papakatsu may be barely over ...
When confronted with a scandal, most Japanese politicians rely on a stock phrase: "I don't recall that."
And so it it was refreshing to see that Hiroyuki Miyazawa, the 49-year-old House of Representatives lawmaker, came clean and stated plainly: "I remember that."
A member of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, Miyazawa recently resigned his seat when Weekly Bunshun reported on his penchant for papakatsu sugar daddy compensated dating and regular use of sex workers.
He is also supposed to have been practically living with a woman in her twenties during the pandemic, despite being ...
