at recent dinner with a wealthy, mid 40s good looking las vegas based guy friend,    Has an active nonpro social life told me, "nobody uses condoms anymore"    wild .  

If you want to play this game you have to be on prep and have doxxy available.  

No one wants to admit they are making shitty life decisions so they then justify it with "everyone else is doing it!!" No, they are not. I was this way when I was a heavy drinker of alcohol. I always justified me drinking EVERY DAY with "everyone else is doing it!" No, that thought process is absurd and obviously false. Are there people that drink alcohol everyday? Of course, but it is a small percent of all of the people that drink alcohol, just like your buddy here who obviously does not want to be judged for his poor life decisions of not using condoms so he is going to justify it with "everyone else is doing it!" which is of course, false. The idea that someone is "wealthy" I also always chuckle at as well. People want to build an illusion so other people will be envious, which it looks like your friend here has accomplished. I had a very attractive client show up in his Lamborghini and would always show me his new Rolex watches. Why the FUCK was this guy seeing me when he could afford anyone?!?  His visits got less frequent but he blamed it on "life and business issues." Truth was he was in debt up to his eyeballs and on the verge of filing bankruptcy. Your friend might be in the top 1%, or the whole thing could be a smoke show. No, I am not cynical, but I for sure take everything I see and hear now with a grain of salt before making up my mind as to what is real vs. fiction.

I read ads all the time stating natural offerings, raw, bare it’s pretty amazing to see, so openly.  

Your comparisons are extremely flawed. Apples and oranges.  

You cant put fault on the regulars. Its up to the lady to stay her ground.

His post clearly said his friend told him "no one is using condoms". That is false.  
And no, most people do not see others doing something and then "of course" do it also. That is also false. People that are very easy to manipulate or do not know how to make a "pros vs cons" list for their individual life decisions are going to just go off what other people did or said, which unfortunately is why we live in a society where many such individuals do not want to take responsibility for their personal life decisions. Obviously being a sex workers has pros vs cons. Right now the pros outweigh the cons, and that is why I still do it. I quit drinking alcohol because the cons were greater than the pros. That is why I quit drinking alcohol. The only pro of me forgoing condoms as a sex worker is I could probably charge more money, but I have other revenue streams so the cons list of not using condoms far outweighs the pros, so I require them.  
And no, no one is talking about apples, oranges, sushi, or skydiving. We are discussing human behavior and how and why people make the decisions they do. "People are doing it and they are just fine" is the most ridiculous justification for doing anything, but from your posts and reviews I don't get the impression you do a deep intellectual dive on very many of your personal life decisions. But hey, you do you. All is good until it is not.

Your complete deference of client personal responsibility is beyond reproach. What a bizarre lad you are.

You can give me all the compliments you like, but im not wrong.  

Someone in a long term relationship or marriage where they do not sleep with others is very normal. If they are smart about it, they get tested first when they decide to go that route. And, then they do not cheat. Unfortunately, too many end up cheating. I can't quite understand how someone could do that to a partner who has agreed to go bare with them. It's one thing to cheat at all. It's a whole other thing to do it when you're going bare with your long term partner and putting them at a risk they have no choice in.

I was just expressing an attitude that more and more people are having.....    i have found a civilian world is much more casual about its use..... but if we are being totally honest with all of us. I found about one in four of reviewed respected ladies are not always strict ....    

I don't think anyone thought that from your post, but thank you for clarifying!!

You have to make a decision up front to make sure always to resist going raw. I am also seeing ads, where bbfs is also being allowed for greek/anal.  Crazy times indeed.

Just like he is off base by saying no one uses condoms, aren't you also off base by saying no one wants to admit that?

I fucked around quite a bit on Bumble over the last few years, as did a number of male friends. Not a single report of bare sex amongst us. Even the wild lady who offered anal on our 3rd date insisted on a cover.

This is probably the conversation that happens thousands a time a day.

is he taking them out on dates? is he meeting them at starbucks and buying them a latte and then slapping them cheeks the next?

I've had more sex as a civvie than as a professional. And before entering this P4P world, I probably used condoms maybe 10% of the time. Thankfully, the only positive test I've ever had related to sex was for pregnancy - and I made damn sure that wouldn't be happening again. When your kitty is what puts a roof over your head, it's only natural that you're more concerned with keeping her in good working condition. And sure, I could probably find a dude willing to share his roof, bed and food with me but I'm not the only one one in the picture to worry about. I'd not just be jeopardizing myself, but the roof, comfort and ridiculously expensive prescription food for my furry, fat fucker as well.

Did you make this? The last part is backwards. Asking for the test results is not the risk, not using a condom is the risk.  
It should read "it is what I require for me to take the risk of having sex without a condom".

I haven't dated for forty years, so maybe what this man says is true. But I have not had that experience with providers (was that the point of this thread?)  with the exception of one recent higher end lady who was fine with the condom sliding off during Greek. I was not okay and took care of bidness for my own health.
Stay safe out there.

That is a fair question. I think in the moment you may be thinking the pros outweigh the cons, but if you are able to take responsibility for what you did and pay the consequences then you would be holding yourself accountable.

Wow.  

... False.  
.
"Everybody does it" is a grade-school level bullshit excuse.

Would you try sushi or skydiving if "everyone else" wssmt doing it?  

To your specific questions -- Yes.  
I notice that not "everyone else" eats sushi or skydives, both broadly in society and specifically in my personal circle.  
.
More generally, we humans have always tended to behave as a herd part of the time.  Common words like Trend, Fashion, Conformity, Taboo, Normal, Weird, attest to this.  The error lies in mistaking "many visible people" for "EVERYONE".  

I highly doubt you would do either unless you had first seen the success and satisfaction of the many before you.  

I'm glad we're on the same page.

I did the same and i had the opposite experience.  

The gals that offer this, 90% are not asking for any test results, because it doesnt matter. If they are on prep and a dose of doxy they are protecting themselves. At that point a test result is obsolete.

Many, for sushi.  A few, for skydiving.  
Everyone, no.  
Many who completely refuse for sushi.  Many more for skydiving.  
It's not rocket surgery.  
"Everyone does it" is pretty much always a weak excuse for doing something unwisely.  
Which does not describe sushi and skydiving.

WTH? This is a ridiculous comparison. Apples and cannon balls.  

How is it tough on the joints? With sport chutes the landing is soft.

Well, everyone's "soft" is relative. A fall on the ground is a fall on the ground. LOL. You are statistically more likely to get hurt static line jumping, mainly because you can get tied up in the wire. But I see the debate that it isn't skydiving,...  

It’s highly antibiotic resistant according to what I have read . Just scary! Search instagram for a video of a well known influencer who had it. Not sure if it’s true but face is messed up.

Just remember history always repeats itself so what will be the next STi? hIV became prevalent after the i protected sex craze with no protection during the 60s and 70s…

And you wouldnt try any of it if everyone else did not go first.  

"And you wouldn't try any of it if everyone else did not go first."
The statement is still false, and still egregiously malevolent.  
And still a grade-school level bullshit excuse.  
And, since you have not noticed, logically fallacious.

Youd go jump out a plane if no one else was? Of course you wouldnt.  

The rest of us have long since noticed something that you have not yet:  
the difference between "everyone" and "someone" (and now "no one").  
I won't try to explain the clear logical flaw that is so invisible to you.  
But the phrase "go first" offers a hint if you want it.  
.
Keep digging if you like ... and trying to make it about "grandious balls" rather than about plain truth/falsehood.  That is a revealing twist for sure!

Still a puzzle that is going way over your head i see.
