One of my childhood best mates is dating a prostitute.

Sorry, very naive there about the STDs. Condoms can't protect against many of them, and you don't know where your clients have been and they hold no loyality to you and have no responsibility or accountability for your safety. No doubt she will sleep with hundreds if not thousands of men in her career.

Tbf I did point out that he should just let his friend be happy. I do understand the OP to some extent as I personally wouldn't want to date a prostitute - I prefer monogamous sex. But if one of my friends wanted to I'd be fine with that, as long as they were happy.

So, long story short... he's most likely ****ed? (And not the good kind of "****ed" that normal people enjoy, but the very bad type of "****ed" which means venereal disease) I mean, I don't like his choices, but that is a bit harsh.

I did not know that about STD's, then again I don't sleep around much.

Oh come off it if she takes precautions she will be fine, while it's perfectly fine to be concerned about your sexual health the whole STD scare is just (an obviously not working) way of reducing casual sex.

Sometimes people make decisions that think they'd make them happy when in reality it doesn't. And that's speaking from personal experience.

Yeah.. there's casual sex. And then there is sleeping with hundreds and thousands.

How hands on is she? Not all prostitutes do oral or penetration, I think some don't even get touched by their clients, some prostitutes are valued for other skills such as playfulness, intelligence and comforting and listening to stressed people.

And I don't know what it is about this forum, but in everyday life his choice gets ridiculed.

There's nothing harsh about the truth. Yes his physical health is at risk. But in my opinion is that what you should really be concerned about is his mental health and well being and the emotional consequences of his girlfriend selling her body. I mean yes she's going to buy a house but so what? To be honest if you really loved someone no amount of money would ever be worth them prostituting themselves over. People have so much more value than that. She claims she will stop but I highly doubt she will altogether as she has a lifestyle to upkeep now, she won't earn that kind of money elsewhere at that rate. And clearly money is the most important thing to her character.

A lot of people don't know, that's exactly why it is so risky. For example herpes simplex virus and HPV cannot be protected against using a condom. Also you may not know your sexual partner (or client lol) has these as they tend to flare up and down so you could still catch it in their latent period. HPV is of particular concern to women as it can lead to cervical cancer.

It's not just an 'STD scare' condoms can't protect against herpes and HPV, and there is no complete cure for these. Anyway I wrote about that above post and I can't be bothered to type it again. When you are sleeping with 100s or even 1000s of clients 'precautions' aren't going to be enough you are simply playing Russian roulette and selling your body comes with risk, sorry.

There is about being judgemental, though.



Most adults have at least one strain of HSV, including everyone who's ever had a cold sore.

Of course the risks of both are reduced by condom use.

She may also have had the vaccine against the main strains of HPV linked to cervical cancer.

Sex carries risks, but adults can choose to take risks.

You can get herpes from your partner, you're playing Russian roulette every time you do anything with someone, including your partner.

Stop being such an apologist. There's a difference between having sex with one partner and 100s of strangers. Yes, you can still get HSV from sleeping with one committed partner but chances would be many, many fold less than a prostitute who sleeps with 100s of men.

they have to pay. you get it for free. ergo you > them.


ergo #winning.
