Is compensated dating with sugar daddies increasing among Japanese women due to remote working?
Bunshun Online had an intriguing article suggesting something to that effect. It interviews a 24-year-old female office worker who has started doing "papakatsu," a newly coined kind of compensated dating where younger women go on dates with older men.
