We all pay for it one way or another....... Honestly you probably have a better chance getting an std from a one night stand than a high class call girl.
Depends how picky you are (in both instances). And you can put it like paying for a date or invest time in an one night stand is the exact same as paying for a prostitute, but there really is a subtile but important (for most people at least) difference.
I'm done with romantic relationships in my life, and too old for the night life scene, so I'll have to stick with the escorts. Quite a variety out there, I like to stick with the ones who are more mature and professional about it, non-tweakers, and of course very safe.
You’re not the only one. I remember reading somewhere that Son of Sam (David Berkowitz) caught an STD from a hooker while overseas in the military and that’s what set him off on his path to murder. The idea of couples copulating and exchanging DNA and diseases didn't go over well with his neighbors dog 'Sam" who told him to go out and kill.
