As far as value is concerned, you answered your own question. Five locals is better than the cost of one pornstar unless you are awe of pornstars and feel the need to brag that you slept with one.

There is not much difference in experience between pornstars and locals. You will find that locals have just as much experience as pornstars.

Although this could go in the general or porn star section, it's really a newbie question.  I swear to the God of poon that I'm not trying to piss off any porn stars, but I want to ask the legitimate question of whether or not, for a newbie, they are worth it.

The porn stars that do escort, are they typically retired and unable to successfully make a living doing porn?  I've noticed that some porn stars end up doing the Moonlite Bunny Ranch when they are no longer in demand for films.  Chasey Lain is going to be there soon and, no disrespect to one of the all-time hottest porn stars, but I saw a recent video of Chasey and she didn't look so good.  Kind of like Whitney Houston.  But more haggard.  And crazier.

Are porn stars that provide any better than local providers?  On the one hand, it seems like they'd have lots of experience, but at the rates they are often charging I wonder if it'd be better to see five local girls for the cost of one porn star.

Thoughts?

Don't see a porn star if you are simply looking for better sex. The "experience" that you speak of is not really relavent to being a good escort. The fact is most porn stars will not do half of the things during an appointment that they have done on film.  See a porn star because you want to, and can afford to, fulfill a fantasy about being with that woman.  Only then will it be worht the investment.

put yourself up in a top hotel and still have enough to see a beautiful, young model class provider in the old continent.

I prefer to visit Ukraine and other Eastern European countries and the ladies are gorgeous. Another benefit is that our money goes farther there than in European countries that use the Euro. You might want to check out the services offered in Kiev which is fairly easy to get to from Frankfurt.
