Thanks for the reply. Many of the activities describe on TER I have no desire to do because of safety issues and I appreciate hearing that providers will follow my lead. Your correct that many of the reviews describe very aggressive providers and that actually frightens me a bit. Thanks for the heads up.
What precautions can be taken to prevent infection with papilloma virus? Thsi can be without symtoms in the woman and can be spread with contact of extenal genitalia- labia to testicles. Does any one have any information on the insidence of papilloma virus infection in escorts? Papilloma virus causes venereal warts and certain strains can cause cervical cancer in women.
I'm sure you can find information on legitimate medical Web sites about the incidents in the general population. I wouldn't think it to be any higher among professional women. The risk may be lower because they are typically more health aware, get tested regularly and always use a condom. That lower risk may be counterbalanced by the assumed higher volume of sexual activity. No statistics make one bit of difference if you happen to find that one-in-a-million who transmits a virus to you.
I’m curious why you, and others ask such questions. Are you trying to decide whether or not you’re going to have sex? Do you think only having sex with civilians is safer? All things considered, it’s quite likely that sex with a professional girl is safer than sex with any non-professional. There’s a reason they’re called professionals. It’s because they are skilled and knowledgeable in what they do, to the degree that people pay them money for their services. In the same way you wouldn’t expect a professional painter to fuck up your house, a girl is not likely to fuck you up. That would be bad for her business. I refer, of course, to the true professionals; not streetwalkers or the like.
You ask why I am asking about verneal warts when professionals are safer than picking up girls? Easy. I don't pick up girls. I have been happily married for 20 years and have only become aware of the escort phenomena recently. I am not the girl picking up kind but a simple relation with an escort of a certain standardsounds safer than pickups but not safer than not doing it.
It's certainly not risk-free. It seems that in your situation you are comparing (1) a relatively risk-free sexual life with your spouse (assuming that she is monogamous) and (2) a greater degree of risk with an escort. There will always be more risk in (2) than in (1) if the assumption with respect to (1) is correct and you are in a long-term marriage as you state. It seems that the question then should be -- "what level of risk is acceptable, and if I do things to mitigate that risk level, is that residual risk level still acceptable to me?"
You can mitigate the risk as others have indicated here: (1) being selective about providers and (2) being selective about what you do with providers. In the first category, it's not necesarily to look for more expensive providers, but rather those that (a) have a good reputation and (b) don't do things that you consider to be an unacceptable risk (regardless of whether you would do that with them). In the second category, the ball is in your court. No provider is gpoing to force you to DFK her if you don't wish to, or to give you a BBBJTC if you don't wish it. Noone will force you to DATY if you don't wish it. If you just want a CBJ and a "covered" main event, that is achievable with most escorts, and the risk -- again, while not completely nil -- is rather low. Each other activity you engage in that involves an unprotected exchange of fluid raises the risk somewhat (but to very, very differing degrees -- DFK much less so than other things, for example), and only you can decide what activities are too risky for you, and play that out when you meet her (or perhaps seek out a provider that doesn't specialize in -- or feature -- these activities that you may think are too risky for you).
This is a wonderful site overall, but one small critique is that the performance of providers appears to be linked -- per the rating system -- to the number of less safe activities that they will perform, such that those who are willing to regularly perform less safe activities are the only ones who are entitled to the higher performance reviews. That seems like loading the dice, to me, because there may very well be some --perhaps more than some -- hobbyists out there who are not interested in these latter activities but nevertheless would have a wonderful time with a provider that featured none of these activities. I think that the ratings system actually loads the dice in favor of certain kinds of activities, and this can be confusing and misleading for a newbie hobbyist. Just my $0.02, however.

My $0.02 --
Those of you that indicated on the subject line "there are no data" -- depending upon the questioin -- may be exactly correct. But there is a large amount of confusion. HPV (human papillomavirus) is incredibly common -- with a higher prevalence among those who are younger. (It may be that with exposure over time some amount of immunity occurs, but again little in known). In terms of just how common, it depends upon the test methodology employed, and which types are being ascertained (HPV tests typically don't identify all HPV types). But if one tests for a wide variety of types, and tests repeatedly (i.e. say once a month for 3 -4 months) and screens a population of sexually teen girls or co-eds, one can find that well over 50% would be infected with some HPV type on some visit. Reassuring?? Do you think that prevalence would possibly be any higher among escorts? And if so, so what?
Plus it is clearly the case that genital HPV is terribly infectious -- evidenced by the fact that the virus is so damn common. (Data on prevalence among males is not so good; the [major]anatomical site of infection is not clear. What is clear is that the vast majority of infections are never recognized, cause no symptoms, and resolve spontaneously. The HPV types that cause external genital warts are not the same as the ones that cause cervical cancer. And the occurrence of cervical cancer is related to longstanding infection that doesn't clear spontaneously.
With regard to prevention, here's we really don't know what we're talking about. Very little evidence that condoms prevent HPV acquistion (but very tough to demonstsrate effectiveness from a methodological perspective). Not clear what use of dental dams would do; infants get very very very rarely get laryngeal papillomatosis (a very serious condition) but I'm unaware of adults contracting it. There are some data from either Thailand or Taiwan (I forget) that suggest that a married woman's probability of cervical dysplasia was reduced if her husband used condoms with prostitutes (compared to those whose husbands didn't use condoms; most all husbands saw prostitutes). But I'm assuming that use of condoms with intercourse is a given. Otherwise, I'm just writing for fools.
Take care and good luck.
