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.
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.

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