Add to the fact a lot of them are dumb as a box of crayons.... recipe for disaster.
For you this is not the case......you remind me of drug dealers( had a lot of experience in that lifestyle) who say selling narcotics is great. “I am not working for minimal wage" etc...) and they rave on about all the benefits of being a drug dealer and don't try that well... selling drugs is illegal shit. So is prostitution in most countries it's just tolerated. As for prostitution being safe, one criminal type John or one broken condom.....well....
There have been guys robbed for thousands, assaulted, threatened in some establishments....just read these boards.

I admit, I have a 'dirty wh*re' fetish and I totally loved to be treated like a piece of you-know-what by a client. But only by agreement. I don't much enjoy being physically hurt, but there are plenty of hookers who do and if they're able to set boundaries and they're getting paid for it ...what could possibly be 'bad' about it?
Sex work allows you to act in a way that you may not usually act in your private life. Women, especially, are often not 'allowed' to experiment with this sort of stuff. I got to try soooo many things in P4P that I may not have had the opportunity to try at home. Hooking is awesome.

Posts: 2855I Have Traveled more than You!
The only time I was stopped was in 1976 in Texas, my girl was stopped for carrying Hash in a toilet paper roll. Someone in Europe gave it to her and she forgot,because it was no big deal. I was let go, because they had nothing on me. I did not know what was in her suitcase.
So, Wake up if there is nothing in your bag, there is not any reason for anyone to stop you, unless YOU MOUTH OFF. So the F___ Shut UP!
About what you did away from Home. It is not any of their business, unless they need what we needed?
Be Polite! Smile and say Thank You. And Do Not say anything Else.
If you need more info let me know?

Posts: 2656Attempts to moralize sexual behavior, including prostitution, are part of a larger agenda on the part of state and religious bodies to control sex and reproduction among the masses. Monogamy was created to protect the ruling social classes from the disruptive effects of bastards. Bastards created challenges to the concept of birthright.
“Amongst the ‘respectable’ sort – soldiers, sailors, wh*res and so forth would form striking exceptions – sexual intercourse was permissible within marriage and where expectations of marriage had been created and signaled amongst courting couples. Upon pregnancy, marriage would then normally and ideally take place, and community sanctions were leveled against those who took or gave sex beyond the customary norms. In a tight-knit face-to-face community, the loose woman would lose her reputation and perhaps her chance of finding a marriage partner; and the man who brought bastards into the world would be forced to marry, or flee. The value of sex was inscribed within rules and norms, and it was subject to an exchange economy in which the ultimate regulator was the balance between production and reproduction in an age which did not possess reliable means of contraception and which did not systematically attempt its practice. Like other commodities, sex held its value because demand outstripped supply.
Reputation for virtue was valuable, particularly in a woman, and public pressures were applied to limit sexual activity. But it was also the business of the public to ensure that sufficient children were born for economic prosperity, or at least survival. Too many mouths to feed was an obvious disaster; too few, and shortages of labour, ratepayers, and soldiers would follow. And while a wailing chorus of moralists in the later years of the seventeenth century and the early years of the eighteenth condemned England as a nation of fornicators and harlots, there was equal concern amongst political arithmeticians about the decay of population, a lack of hands to the plough or sailors and soldiers for Her Majesty’s forces. As we shall see, there was no contradiction in complaining in a single breath about sexual license and about population decline, for sinful sex was widely assumed to be procreatively unproductive. Overall, the sexual life of the pre-Victorian lower orders still awaits proper research. Suffice to say that the early advice literature shows that individual sexual expression was routinely subordinated to the procreative strategies presupposed by wider moral and national agendas.” (Roy Porter, Lesley A. Hall, The facts of life, pp. 15-16)

Swiss Uproar: Prostitute Buried Near John Calvin
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 3:27 p.m. ET
GENEVA (AP) -- A well-known prostitute who campaigned for the rights and dignity of sex workers was given an honored place of rest on Monday, in the same cemetery where Protestantism's John Calvin is buried, and some women activists criticized the decision.
Griselidis Real, who died in 2005, was buried in the presence of 200 people at the Cemetery of the Kings, which is reserved for individuals that have profoundly marked Swiss or international history. Argentinian writer Jose Luis Borges and child psychologist Jean Piaget are among the luminaries interred there.
The body of Real, who was 76 when she died only 10 years after she is said to have given up prostitution, was exhumed from another cemetery in Geneva for the ceremony that some -- particularly women -- have called offensive.
''If every woman that had children to raise alone turned to prostitution, the city of Geneva would be a bordello,'' said Amelia Christinat, a feminist and former member of the Swiss parliament who opposed Real's reburial.
Jacqueline Berenstein-Wavre, the first woman to head Geneva's parliament, also objected.
''No woman should rejoice at this transfer, which is nothing but the elevation of a prostitute and of prostitution in general by its male protectors,'' she told the daily Tribune de Geneve, which noted the scarcity of women buried in the honored ground, less than a quarter of the 350 graves.
Prostitution is generally legal in Switzerland, with red light districts in some cities. But Real worked for years to improve working conditions.
She helped found Aspasie, an association which describes itself as promoting solidarity with sex workers. Aspasie says she compiled a massive collection of newspaper clippings, films and other documentation about prostitution over 30 years and that her four children donated the database to the association on her death.
Geneva's Protestant Church has been reserved in its criticism about the reburial, even though the former fighter for prostitutes' rights now rests near one of the central figures in the history of Christianity.
The city once known as the ''Protestant Rome'' is honoring Calvin's 500th birthday this year with publications, exhibitions and performances. The celebrations, however, have been somewhat muted, perhaps in deference to the 16th-century theologian's stern views on life and excess.
The cemetery is ''not a sacred place,'' Roland Benz, moderator of Geneva's association of pastors, was quoted by the Ecumenical News International as saying.
Real was born in 1929 in Lausanne. A divorced mother of four children, she began working as a prostitute in Germany in the 1960s and later moved to Geneva, becoming a leading campaigner for prostitutes' rights.
In her autobiographical books ''Black is a color'' and ''Dance card of a courtesan'' she denounced the hypocrisy of a society that condemns prostitutes while using their services.
Patrice Mugny, a local politician who championed the transfer, said the city was ''in no case apologizing for prostitution, but honoring an individual who distinguished herself by battling for human dignity.''
''This shows that human dignity is not a question of social status, that it is not limited by moral prescriptions,'' he said at the ceremony.
Ruth Morgan Thomas, a leading European campaigner for prostitutes, said the burial was an important recognition for sex workers ''who demand simply to be treated without discrimination and valued as an integral part of society.''
