Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Isn’t Japan famous for sexual services used by married man? And isn’t it pretty much accepted ?

Yep, but those are paid services. Most women would probably prefer their men don't go to places like that, but (edit: in Japan) paying for sexual services is considered very different from cheating. It's a job and transactional in nature. Find another romantic partner and that's a very different issue/transgression.

Yeaaahhh pretty sure my wife still cuts my balls if I resort to that…

Yeah cheating and paying for sex etc while married are basically viewed as the same thing in most western countries. I meant Japanese culture in particular often views them separately.

Given how Japan is not an outlier in this list, I'd bet this survey was worded to imply cheating specifically, or used a translation for "infidelity" that is only used for deceitful cheating and isn't used to refer to paid sex services. There are mixed opinions in Japan on paid sex while married though, so some may not take any issue with it at all, for others it'd be the same as cheating, and for most it'd be in a sort of grey area in between.
