I'd had the impression all along that he's an enjoyable customer for most if not all undines -- it wouldn't feel like a test or competition to Akari, but like sharing a pleasure. As I said, he's kind of Akari-like himself, so he becomes an "old friend" at first meeting unless the other person is really, really nervous or starchy.
So, this would be somewhat like the episode with Amaranth, but without all the (self-inflicted) pressure on Akari...
Incidentally, though I don't want to impose this choice on anyone, I've consistently thought of him as "Anton." On the other hand, no matter how friendly, the girls would probably feel it more courteous to address a middle-aged man by his family name, and I never pinned that down.
