That would be a foolish assumption. Stupidity and irresponsible behavior don't really fall into an economic category. Remember that idiot Spitzer was trying to get his $1000 an hour call girl to go bareback.

Any woman who doesn't want to die is going to practice safe sex.  If anything, I have found a larger preponderance of fully covered activities from ladies in the $150 to $250 price range than from ladies at $300 and up.  What does this mean? Who really knows!  The lower end girls are very often very high volume and they are really just trying to cut down the odds.  

I have seen hundreds of girls in the past 20 or so years from $50 street walkers to GFE escorts and I have never had an STD.  Over the last ten years or so I have had mostly covered sex with unprotected BJ and DATY with never so much as a bad rash.

You are correct, it is never completely safe but neither is crossing the street...

Take a look a the local boards and do searches.

I came down with mono this year and it took months to recover. I have been seeing a doctor 6 months to check on my internal liver levels.

The doctor told me that I was very close to having a ruptured spleen from the mono. He told me that form of mono that I came down was very aggressive and that it probably came from the last provider I saw.

I am not a frequent flyer. It probably averages out to 6-7 visits yearly. Because of this, I am not used to the regular mouth germs that people have every day without it affecting them.

As a result, I contracted everything from strep throat to pneumonia from four of the first five providers I saw. (Second visit is usually fine.) It's only with the last two that I haven't gotten pretty sick. I've played in price ranges from $175 to $500.

On the plus side, this means virtually every time I've seen a provider, I've had to see the doctor anyway so getting the standard STD tests is convenient. Yes, I'm immunologically healthy but was simply isolated and never developed antibodies for the specific germs that many providers have.

According to LGs survey, the average provider has seen over 800 unique men. You don't have to do a lot of math to see why the likelihood of a provider carrying a novel version of a commonly innocuous germ is quite high. If you are lucky number 8xx, and have not been previously exposed ...

And let me echo that mono is bad shit. I got it many years ago from a civie girl in a bar and it nearly killed me. Let me also add that there is substantial evidence that communicable diseases in a high promiscuity environment are MORE aggressive and MORE deadly than the same germs encountered in a low promiscuity environment. (I can cite references on this if you'd like.)

This summer, I spent a few hours with a lady from whom I've never contracted even a cold. (She's voluntarily not ter listed.) I asked her why she thought that was.

She then told me what she knew about other providers with whom she has worked. Some, she says, have had bareback intercourse with some clients for a ridiculously small extra fee -- like $50. And some of them, she knows for a fact, carry Hep C. I have no reason to doubt what she told me. And, of course, some work while sick with colds, etc. and just take appropriate medicine so they are asymptomatic.

If you KNEW that a woman had Hep C -- would you even KISS her? Would you have sex with her even wearing a condom? Would you touch her with a 10' pole?

Let's get down to brass tacks. Being lucky #8xx to kiss a woman is NOT a 100% safe activity under even the best of circumstances. (And, frankly, kissing a man who has kissed her isn't very safe either.) And, there DO exist providers who are positive for some really nasty and dangerous stuff. The versions of these germs that exist in a high promiscuity environment are more virulent than the analogs in a low promiscuity environment.

This is why I have always stressed the importance of a provider's ETHICS. A client may not realize it, but he is literally putting his life and health in the hands of the provider. Within this context, her single most important attribute is her ETHICS. Everything else is secondary.

And, within the context of what you are entrusting her with, provider fees seem awfully small to me. LOL

Choose carefully.
