Thanks!

Wow. So, if I'm reading it right, she wanted $1500 for dinner? Or "just" $1k? Help me out - where is this "Pink" site so often mentioned? I'd like to read that thread. JC

Virtually all the working girls I've talked to enjoy their work - sometimes. Sure, there are the generally unpleasant fellows they have to work with (once?), and it probably is not _all_ that fun getting schtoinked by a bunch of strangers day in and day out. I don't know why some go without. Ehh. I think it is kinda like OTC - if you -ask- for OTC (with an implication of "I want to get laid"), many/most will flatly deny their involvement in such hijinks. If you lead that direction, those that do go OTC let you know, if they're comfortable with it. I think the condom thing is kinda the same. JC

"If the provider sample includes streetwalkers, that makes some sense, however I cannot fathom how many upscale providers (particularly w/o testing) would let random clients go w/o protection, because what's really in it for them?" Great question. FWIW, my sample does not include streetwalkers, never have, never will. All are either strippers or escorts. I've never been one to _ask_ to go without - seems as though that gets the PC "no way" answer. Don't ask, don't tell? Repeat business as a motivation? No idea, but my sample is fairly large (30-40), and 75+% will go without. In fact, of the remaining 25%, I'm of the opinion that only one or two will truly never go without. Can't substantiate that, but I believe it. JC

In my experience, most providers are willing to go without a condom. No, they don't admit it, and most won't on the first "date," but if you look clean, don't seem like a carrier, most will go without, quite willingly. I realize that "looking" clean is stupid, but take it for what it is worth - that seems to be the mentality. JC (seems as though I look clean - PC or not, I like it)
