I'm just curious, how many people here, be honest now, have gotten some kind of STD, from participating in the hobby?

Do you guys think higher price gals take care of themselves better (and of course, those clients who can afford to see them are taking better care of themselves in terms of their health)?

I'm still reluctant to try BBBJ and DATY.  And have to think twice about DFKs.

...And I do engage in a variety of "uncovered-services" on a regular basis... However, I haven't yet developed anything "permanent".... Strangely, the hobby is less risky than civvie-dating, IMHO... Last-call bar-whores are far more likely to have a vaginal-petrie-dish growing between their legs than a provider is... (Street-hookers, coke-whores, AMP-girls, etc. are not "providers" in tne traditional sense and shouldn't be lumped into the risk-stats...)

If a girls sniz smells like cat-food, don't DATY! That's a basic rule....

Gonorhea, several years ago. But I wasn't an escort yet. I caught it from a casual lover. After a year of escorting, I have yet to catch anything, knock on wood.

So in other words..

Civillian dating: 1
Hobbying: 0

civie dating (out of about 10 persons I was intimate with): 3 (clap, NSU and crabs)  I also paid for one abortion, but I don't think it was my fetus.

Pros: (out of about 150 and climbing): 0

Tells you something, don't it?

On a related note, I had Hepatitis A and B immunizations about ten years ago.  How long do those last?  I know tetanus vaccines needs renewing every ten years.

serious question . how do the ladies that engage in "risky" behaviour, ie BBBJ, maintain their health? It seems to me it would just be a matter of time before you contacted something. ?????

when i was 18, 2 and a half years before i got into the business, i contracted chlamydia from a partner. since i've been providing...have never caught so much as a cold from a client. could be luck, or could be the fact that i screen carefully and don't take extreme risks.

also i don't personally think a girl's price is an adequate gauge of her std risk level (excluding the obvious like street workers/drug whores, etc.). rather i would judge by the number of clients she sees and her screening methods. if a provider sees dozens of men a week, and her only screening is how many greenbacks a man can give her, then i would say she's far riskier than a girl who screens carefully and sees 1 or 2 clients a day.

I personally feel safer in the hobby than I would taking home some girl from a bar. I am new to the hobby, but feel that as long as I do my research and meet a well-reviewed professional girl that there will be minimal risk. Girls in the civilian world are also very sexually active, but are less likely to be concerned with health because they don't have a business that depends on it. Also it is not a conscious concern because most of the time these girls are drunk. It just seems as though providors and hobbyists are constantly careful and thoughtful about STD's where civilian girls are not.

If it wiggles, smells, looks funny don't suck it. I refuse to perform bbbj with the lights off. I want to look at the whole enchilada before I stick it in my mouth.....
 Case in point...

Had a nice older caller one occasion who wanted the lights really dim when we started. I am NOT into that. I turned them up, he got undressed, I saw the field of warts growing at the base of his penis. I put my clothes back on, gave him a kiss and told him that it was obvious he was carrying something and to have it checked out, but I was unwilling to do ANYTHING with him.

Look before you touch. You wouldn't eat a dinner with a blindfold on right...so why....

the risk of the lady contracting something from BBBBJ isn't all that high....unless she is BBBJTC or BBBJCIM whichever acroynm you prefer. With those two activities, the risk goes up significantly. That isn't to say it isn't more risky than CBJ, which lowers the risk to near zero.  Then, what she is likely to catch is herpes, syphilllus, etc.  But a matter of time? I'm not so sure about that.  I think you're far more likely to catch an from a casual lover. I, personally, have never had an STD...and yes, for all of those who are wondering, I am checked regularly.

I wish all the providers I see are as careful as you are and refuse to see anyone with obvious symptoms of STDs.

on CDC's web site correctly, 20-25 years.

Lissa,

I do the same thing.

I perform a visual health check at the beginning of every appointment. This is to protect both my health and the health of my clients.

Guys are always amazed I want the lights on.

I had a client the other day with a huge pimple (or whatever) on the side of his penis. I told him, he could masturbate BUT I wasn't touching him.

I prefer to err on the side of caution.

I get tested monthly...

FYI: I have never had a STD-STI, not even a yeast infection. Also, I've had long-term relationships (over 11 years then got married).

I shaved my balls a few days in advance of a meeting. I didn't use any balm/lotion afterwards like I should have though (No, I'm not slapping a handful of Old Spice on the boys! Yeeeouch!) Anyways, a few days later I found a suspicious little spot down there and started to freak out. Had it looked at by a doctor who informed me it was just a zit. Phewww! Just like shaving your beard, if you don't use some sort of lotion afterwards, your skin will get irritated and breakout. Honestly, ball shaving is not a good idea. I don't do it anymore. You run the risk of having exposed cuts in a high-risk area of the body. Avid IMHO.

Exactly.  Try not to shave the day of your encounter too.
