I've been very fortunate in my hobbying over the years. Met some nice ladies, and experienced some not so nice ladies.
I recall a time in the early nineties, I discovered Cosmos in St.Paul. While I was waiting in a room for the young lady I came to see, I heard and 2 other "attendants" discussing another girl who worked there who was a heroin addict. They commented that her habit was displayed on her arms and back of her legs, and she still was requested by patrons.
This was sometime ago, but I was reading more thoroughly about the bbbj's and how some are done uncovered and the very possible
contracting of more than just a veneral disease.
Despite the use of a condom, it's still not 100% to combat HIV.
The above mentioned heroin addict is one example of potential diseased risked individual, but what about those signs you can't see of potential risk of your provider.
As I've mentioned above, I've been very lucky to have met some health conscious individuals and even if they didn't tell me, I still go and get myself checked.
Money is very hard to come by these days, but I wondered how bad someone will go to get it, even though they could put someone else at risk if they have a disease to pass on to the unsuspecting patron, who in turn my pass it on whoever.
If I offended anyone, it wasn't deliberatly meant.  I just wanted to know what some people think about it.  Once again, I was just commenting on the bbbj discussion earlier.

YMMV for each individual, but for those doomsday providers [Morgan] that don't, bottom line, it's business. The open minded providers have it, and they don't,and so it is a mortal sin,end of the world catastrophe if you do, because they want all the business to spread out eqally on a level playing field, even though they know they can't compete.

I know your post was not in support of me posting but rather to get people thinking, which is the reason I chose to post.  You make some very valid points in your post, and the scenario you mentioned is just scratching the surface as to what can happen.  

I think sometimes people take my posts wrong. (no, I should say I KNOW people sometimes take my posts wrong.)  My opposition in the post below, and in other posts, is only to offer a different perspective on the topic. Usually I only speak when I feel strongly about a topic, that could be why people take me wrong.  I am not trying to put down any ladies personally, really.

To peachs, you seem to have a problem with me, and I am sorry for that.  The only thing I can come up with is because I chose not to see you.  If I'm wrong about that, shoot me an email and tell me.  But please, do not try to speak for me and assume you know why I say what I do, or even who I am.  Most people on these boards don't know who I am, even those who'll swear to you that they do.  

My agenda is to open up some eyes, that is it.  I'm not trying to "cock-block," never been my style, and in case you haven't noticed, I don't make myself publicly available.  (the private is very soon to change too, so...)  The bottom line is, there is a reason that condoms have been made, a reason health providers push them so hard, a reason sex providers have always used them in the past, and a reason that in Nevada, where it's legal, it's mandatory that people use them.  Yes, getting tested should be a must for anyone involved with multiple sex partners, but remember that getting tested is not a preventative, it's something you do to make sure you don't already have something and spread it around more.  Unless you go to the doctor every time after you have unprotected relations, before you see the next client/provider, (providing the virus would show up that quick), you cannot be all the way sure.

Ok, I will stop preaching now.  I think I used up my $.69 worth.

If you read nothing else on this link READ THE SECOND PARAGRAPH.  Then after you are done reading that, hopefully that'll interest you to read the rest of the article. Like the statistic that 1 in 2 people will contract an STD at some point of their lives.

We understand that there are risks.  We understand that there are those who think the risk is so great that receiving oral sex w/o a condom should not be done.  

(Although why someone who participates in that activity preaches against it is beyond me.)

We have considered the risks from receiving uncovered oral sex and have made the adult decision that the risks are low enough for us to continue to participate in that activity.

Is it OK with you finger-pointers if us IGNORANT people get on with our lives?

Sheesh.

Hear, hear, Peaches. Those who can, do, those who can't, teach, those who can't teach, teach teachers, said George Bernard Shaw.

Morgan is sounding a little schoolmarmish on this topic and I can't understand the motive behind this campaign of hers. Perhaps she retired because she couldn't  and wouldn't walk the walk, could only talk the talk, and now sells sex advice and phone fantasies and used panties and is hell-bent on raining on everyone else's parade.

Morgan is no doubt a smart lady - perhaps a bit combative - which is why I removed a similar earlier post - and I enjoy reading her opinions. But remember, her website is called "Chronicle 69" and in all my years of hobbying I NEVER met a woman who insisted on wearing a female condom before I enjoyed DATY. Go figure.

Inquiring minds want to know, Morgan - did you ever enjoy 69 without benefit of a female condom and put your client at risk, according to your reasoning, by releasing fluids that he swallowed?

that you know anything about me.  Don't assume that others know anything about me, even if they claim to.  Don't assume why I left this business because you are very wrong.  Don't assume I've never suggested using protection for DATY, I have.  And don't assume that I use "69" as a symbol for sex, it's my sun sign.

For someone who does not like assumptions, it is laughable for you to assume that I would ever give you the chance to turn me down because I choose this hobbie for pleasure not agony, so the day I would choose you is the day I find SAAAADAAAAM hiding in my closet, so don't hold your breath, or maybe I should say, pleeeeaaaase, hold your breath!!!

Ok, whatever you believe to be true is I suppose.  But who originally posted looking to get in touch with whom?  You obviously have a problem with me, so please take it off the board by either emailing me and discussing it with me or by stopping your personal attacks on me on a public forum.  Enough said.

Jim, I really don't think you can rely on any exterior signs to determine STD health.  Yes, many will show, but many won't.  You take your chances in the end.  
We've been lucky so far, lets cheer to that!!
