Moscow

I was first time in Moscow in 1987, staying in the famous Intourist hotel. There was in the bar there with working girls, some I also saw at breakfast, I think they stayed in the hotel as a part of the staff:)))? Most of them were not interesting, but I had one that was really good.

The most interesting was outside. Shortly before midnight the area in front of the hotel had plenty of girls, some were standing outside, others were sitting in the backseat of cars. I ended up in the backseat with 2 girls and was asked which one I wanted. I asked the price, it was USD 20 for one and USD 40 for two. I said: I take two!!

I was then driven quite far away to one of these huge apartment buildings and there the two girls lived in a one room apartment. They had a kind of shower. Then into bed with both of them, they were beautiful, around 20 years old. I had a fantastic service, we fucked and sucked most of the night. A special experience was to have two girls licking my cock at the same time, one on each side.

I was with some coworkers in hotel, they were not into such things, so I wanted to be discrete and not let them know. Therefore I had to be back to the hotel before breakfast. I was walking in the snow outside the building and on the road at 6 in the morning for half an hour before a friendly car took me to the hotel.

I made appointment with the girls to pick me up the following 2 nights at 23:00 outside the hotel. The last night I brought them some perfume etc. I had bought in the dollar shop and they were so happy that the last night was for free!! They asked when I came back to Russia and wanted me to marry them!!

I had to tell my coworkers I did not sleep because of a bad bed, they did not understand why I was so tired during the day!!

Lukasek hope you will like the movie. But to really understand it the knowledge of Russian is needed. There is english version of the movie called "The spot" but it is not translated but synchronized in english. Not very well in my opinion since good portion od dialogs are not translated or translated into sense of english language. There's also another Russian movie fro few years back called "? " which can be translated as "My word is stone" which also has it's part of prostitues but this time asian one from Kazahstan and Vietnam. The movie is brutal.

Jake in 1992 the choice between Moscow and Rio you took the good one. At that time Moscow was a wild place. Russians got their freedom and many had the impression this freedom means everythig is allowed.

Yes during soviet times Moscow was pretty much like any other megapolis. To hear stories about it the best sourse are older people those older than 50 plust they are triple rooted Moscowites (meaning they were born in Moscow, raised in Moscow and still living in Moscow). Most people don't want to talk about prostitution and crime in soviet times simply because they like to say this things came with capitalism and they never existed in the past. Well they existed all right only with fall of the SSSR they simply came into the open. Even now if you mention prostitutes, criminals and drug addicts in Moscow many people will say "they are not ours they all came from former soviet rublics". Party true but not entirely. Moscow in the past have even their own serial killers like "red killer" from 1968 and "doctor" killer from 1980 during Moscow olympics. Speaking about Moscow olympics in August 1980 president Brezhnev himself ordered the massive clean up ofo Moscow. It meant that soviet army rellocated about 600 000 (yes it's 600 000) people who were "socialy suspicious" (meaning drunkards, criminals, prostitues) from Moscow during time of Olympics so they will not show a different side of SSSR. They were sent to Belarus to clean the swamps around Minsk (latter new parts of the city were build there) and also to Siberia to cut timber.

Not manythen were different form now. In the old soviet times Yaroslav and Smolensk road were there also and tochkas were there also. Main cutomers were truckers (as they are today), police left tochkas alone if they give them for free (the same today), in soviet times tochaks gave blowjobs for 10 roubles, today it's 10$ (only the currency changed). Very famous were tochaks operating around small town on Smolensk road called Gagarinovo. Yes Yuri Gagarin was born there. This was a public secret in Moscow, everybody knew about that. Every Saturday morning hundreds of men were gathering at Belaruskaya train station getting into local train to Gagarin. They all were going to Vazuzkoe lake locating near Gagarin for fishing, taking their fishing equipment with them. Yes some were fishing and some were fishing tochkas. Most of this tochkas were women 30-40 and every Moscow boy of 15 and up were dreaming to loose virginity with some experianced 40 year old tochka around Gagarinovo, populary called "gagarinki". Especially if it was a birthday present from family member. Sometime it was a father but usually it was a uncle or something. Usually father or uncle would come to young boy and say "boy get ready for this Saturday we are going fishing at Vazuzkoe lake". The boy never went fishing before but he know what this mean. Buy buy virginity.

Now when I think about this gagarinki from like 30 years ago I wonder how many of their daughters and granddaughters continued the family tradition.

Only this time they don't need to hide and they operate much closer to their home like in Moscow downtown or Moscow suburbs.

In soviet times hotels in Moscow were divided into those for soviet citizens only and those for foreigners only. In this hotels for foreigners soviet citizens were stricktly forbidden unless they work there. Some of this hotels were "Belgrad", "Warsawa", after the Olympics "Cosmos", "Izmilovo Vega".

Working girls were in the open there and it was no problem to take them into your room. Rules were simple. The girls gathered in hotel restaurant, not before 6PM and they had to leave before midnight. Maximum of 10 girls were available and the quality was at least to say average. They were connected with hotel managment obviously. After choosing the girl you should go to the reception where the guy worked. In soviet hotels men were always working at the afternoon and night. The guy had some basic knowledge of some foreign language and he would tell you the price ifor the girl is two times the price of your room. So the price was usually in the range 50-100$ which was high if we have in mind the worker in some big factory had a sallry of 50-70$.

The girl could stay only for one hour and you could take maximum of two girls per night. Even then many foreigners didn't took this service. Out of fear the girls were from KGB, which could be true. Spreading the legs in the service of Motherland. But most common thig was this girls would steal anything from you they ofund valuable or interesting. Money, watch, photo camera, clothers, you name it. They even had a special tactics. They would steal two things from you one usually being some small crap and hide this small thing in the bathrom. Then they would take a bread load cut in half and put newspaper inside and hide it in the bathroom also. Most foreigners went to the recption to complain that girl stole something from them and then there was investigation. They would find small thing hidden in the bathrom and directly confront you in the style "you hidd this by yourself in order to give bad name to our hotel so you probably hidd your money/watch/whatever also or simply lost it". And then they would bread with newspaper and they would make comments in the style look at this this foreigner is crazy we will call the police to clear this up. Of course many foreigners didn't want to mess with soviet police so they would keep their mouth shout.

As you can see Jake in in the early '90-ies many tochaks from Moscow suburbs came to downtown plus many arrived from other parts of former SSSR. But today things are in revers the police chased them away back into suburbs. So things are in constant change in Moscow and Russia in general.

I remember some years back when I was in Blagoveschensk on the Chinese border and I had two Chinese girls (good looking) for whole night doing them what I wanted for 50$ both. They were gabling addicts, they needed money for casino and made me offer I couldn't refuse. They told me that in Chinese language name for Russia means "big, dangerous and unpredictable place" and I guess it is the right description.

Bezz my opinon why I said about provinces when compared to Moscow some places are the same, some are worse and some are better. I will not mention StP because I've never been there. But many people in StP will say that Moscow is the biggest province of them all while in Moscow they will say StP is worst than any province (what ever this mean). For Russian provinces there's different distances. Sit in a train that rides one hour from Moscow and it will take you to the towns like Himki, Odincovo, Podolsk, Elektrostal or Kalinigrad (not it's not Kaliningrad on Baltic sea but Kaliningrad near Moscow).

Most of this towns are run down industrial places. There's no need to stay there since Moscow is just jump away and prices mostly keep at the moscow level. People living in this places are mostly with "we hate Moscow" attitude.

Most of population was brought from other parts of Soviet union when industralization started but they were prohibited to go to Moscow. But visit any of this cites at Friday and Saturday evening, go to some bar, night club or simply walk down the streets. You will be surprised to see there almost no young women there even the low quality ones. Because great majority of them are in Moscow working as weekend ho's. They hate Moscow enough to to go there on permanent basis but like Moscow enough to make their money there. Then lets go to the city like Ivanovo and Rjazan. This places are big Russian military bases and there's plenty of military officers there. Great majority of them are bringing their children in the old soviet military patriarchal style. Which resulted many girls are very hard to approach, they can simply tell you "get lost creep" or even sream for help an then few guys will approach you with desire to beat you up. P4p is almost non existing. Once I asked a girl in Ivanovo quite innocently "what a man can do for fun in Ivanovo regarding sex". She got very mad with me and told me if I want that sort of girls who lost control over their live (exact words she used) then I shuold have stayed in Moscow. So if you're interested in freebies/p4p comaping this places with Moscow they are "worse" but if you are not interested in this then this places are "better". Let's go up north to Archangels for example. Foreigners are very rare sight there so girls can simply give it for free because you're a foreigner arranging everythnig over a single drink. So in this aspect it's much "better" than Moscow. But keep in mind being a rare foreigner there you will certainly bring attention to few guys who can pull the knife or a gun on you and robb you. Archangels is not a place in great shape, ni dicent places to stay and eat, no to mention all those nuclear submarines stroed there and leaking their radiation around.

Let's go to Nizhny Novgorod. Freebies, p4p, good night life. "Same" as Moscow only on smaller scale of course. Plus many girls in the port waiting for those Volga cruise too see if there will be customers and sponsors for them. To their dissapointment most of those tourists are old. I mean old. If you're not (too) old then you there's a space for fun in Nizhny Novgorod. Let's step over to Siberia. Ekateriburg which is far "better" than Moscow.compared to population it seems Ekaterinburg have much more developed prostituion than Moscow. Many of pros and semi pros are in Ekaterinburg, many of them will let you make porn movie for like 1500 roubles. When girl in Ekaterinburg becomes know as a local prostitue she packs up a and goes to Moscow where she's introduced as fresh talent from Ekaterinburg but basically she alreadu got some mileage. I believe many tasted Ekaterinburg girls in Moscow. Ekaterinburg is "worse" than Moscow because lots of cheap drugs there coming from Kazahstan and former soviet asian republics. Plenty of girls are hooked and this is not many of us will prefer. In Novosibirsk is the "same" as in Moscow most things from Moscow are in Novosibirsk. Exept weather since it is cold during the whole year. From seasons they have only winter and June.

This is some of my conclusions. Yuo may agree or not, no problem about that. It's just depends what are your priorities. Some will be better than Moscow and some worse dendin how you look at it. For those who will stay in Russia for like 4-5 days and sex is one of the reason then is much better to go to Moscow or StP of course. Provinces need some time to work thing out even them it doesn't mean everything will be as you expected. Reading your reports Bez it is cler that you stay in provnces 2-3 weeks (in one place I guess) and not 4-5 days. When I go to Russian provinces I usually stay from 2-3 weeks and some time even 3-4 months.

Sorry for the longer post people but I just couldn't help it.

Sorry Bez I missed the title.

I will not hide my destinations but will reveal it to everyone interested and willing to go there. This list is no in particular order, only based in my experiance and with some explanations. Also I concentrated on larger places (like one million population)which has a good infrastructure for mongering like accomodation, places to eat and places to have fun like going out in the night.. Kazan

Because of the girl mix there. Especially muslim ones like Tatar, Azeri and Tajik. This girls are very willing (everythnig is available, like freebies, pros, semipros) beucase of their mostly strickt upbringig. They will consider nice foreigners as forbidden fruit because they want to taste something different. Also foreigners will leave Kazan while local men have the tendency to talk around and ruin girls reputation. Many girls prefer anal in order to stay virgins. Most parents will check this before marriage. I like Tatar girls. I prever taller skinny Tatar girl with dark hair to Russian chubby blonde. Of course there's no lack of Russian girls there. In Kazan my favourite was a tatar girl Guzel who I meet in police station during registration. She was a police officer there. Very nice tall and skinny with great breast she was to marry in about two months. She was 24 and still virgin and insisted only on anal. She was a real freebie basically costed me nothing and banged her several times in her parents place (when they were out preparing her wedding! ) and she was dressed in typical muslim outfit with covered hair doing belly dance striptease for me. Made me very horny what can I say. So Kazan is good place, with nice girls and being a rare westerner there you will get a nice hospitality. For anybody considering Kazan go there before 2012 becuase then Universiade will be in Kazan and this might bring some changes basically in the price increasing. I'm sure many will say there are Tatar girls in Moscow too. Yes of course but Tatar girl who was born and lives in Moscow is different than Tatar girl born and living in Kazan.

-Rostov-on-Don

This is great place for adventurous monger. Not many people will go there what ever is the reason (which means plenty of opportunity for those who go there) and city is big enough to offer what you need. Has Rostov-on-Don ever been mentioned here on ISG? Rostov-on-Don is definitelly a great destination in Russia for those who are in Ukraine and want to make a little trip to Russia but don't want to bother with Moscow. Especially if you're are in Donbass just jump over the border and you're there and latter back to Ukraine without much hassle. Famous Don cossack have daughters that will make your blood boil. Especially if you dare to ride horses or shoot AK-47 with them. It will be a big plus for you in their eyes. Also there's a selection of various girls from Caucasus like Georgian, Chechen, Dagestani, Ingush, etc. They make scene interesting both for freebies and p4p. Also many girls can't say they had offer from western sponsor. While in Rostov-on-Don you can also make a trip to Krasnodar which is not far to check it out and put another mongering destination on your list.

- Vladivostok

In Russia they call it "pearl of the east". Population 600 000 but still offers enough. Yes it's far away but there are flights there from Moscow for a good price. Can be interesting destinations for those living in the USA on the west coast. There must be flights from California to Vladivostok.organized crime groups (don't worry for your safety) have established good p4p scene there with many girl types to choose from icluding Chinse, North Korean even Japanese. Freebies as everywhere will depend on your own skills but available as any other place. Vladivostok is popular destination for backpackers who come there by transsiberian railway. Good chances to find some european backpacker girl who got lost, no Russian knowledge and don't know what to do. Then offer to help like I did and you can end up in the bed playing "east meets west" with Akiko, japanese student from Saporo and Kirsten, scottish nurse from Glasgow.

So people this is my list as Bez asked. You may like it or not of course but I reccomend everybody to go to this places. Of course I can not say that all doors will be open there for you. As always it will depend on you, your skills, time and money. Bez what do you think? You can share your provincial destinations if you want to share the secret.

Hi guys, I'm a long time reader, first time poster here- hope I'm not interrupting the current flow of thoughts- I was just wondering where you guys would recommend to go for the most quality decent looking white girls.

Here's a little quick background on me: I've recently decided I'm done with spoiled American women (I'll spare you my exact story, I'm sure you've heard plenty just like it); I've recently got a $2.5 k college grant to go to rural russia and study some power systems economic shit; I'm more interested in the economics of fucking hot russian girls.

Basically, I can justify in my paper going ANYWHERE and I definitely have a sense of adventure that has taken me off the beaten track before. Given that fact, where should I go? Kazhakstan? Belarus? Eastern Russia?

Thank you guys in advance for any response (even a short "not uzbekistan" or "you're an idiot"... anything helps :) )

Kurenda,

For your reports here you ought to get a an order by the ISG!

Is is it possible to become a duke if ISG?

Fantastic!

Nice memories Explorer but Intourist was just average hotel then.

In 1987 Cosmos hotel was the best place but too expencive.

But they had a strip club even back then.

But it was 1987 Gorbachov was a president, perestroyka was running for almost two years, wind of changes in the air, etc.

Those girls were the signs of private initiative the same way "Tetris" game hit the world at the same time.

But no problem the same was even 10 years before in Moscow, i.e. in 1977.

Those girls were improved tochkas called "машинки" meaning they were driven around in cars and the car would take the customer to some apartment buliding always on the very outskirts of Moscow.

Well then it was the outskirts today this parts are much closer to the center.
I don't think this kind of service exists any more.

In late '80-ies there were lots of working girls from Poland and Czechoslovakia, interesting many of them were hospital nurses on the exchange program in Moscow. Also interesting there were even working girls from Finnland since Finnland and SSSR had liberal visa regimee since 1981. Many Finns were living in SSSR and many Russians in Finnland so it was like family visitation thing. But many of those girls were junkies using prostitution to get additional money to buy cheap heroin which was available in Moscow mainly brought by soviet soliders serving in Afghanistan. Plenty of those girls were found OD all over Moscow.

The best car was the Volga, inside were usually 6-7 girls pure window shopping. In use also waz UAZ van which can hold up to 10 girls.

But at that time Moscow was nothing special, Kiev was the real thing.

In Moscow you need to wait late evening to find working girls in Kiev there were hundreds of them on the main square from 3AM.

Today, a series called Detective on Moscow channel? , (I live in East Ukraine) a program with a type of 60 Minutes format, a very interesting segment was shown about prostitution in Moscow, (dated April '09) many line ups were shown and had police raids on saunas, making arrests of drivers stopping to pick up girls on the side of highways, most of the activity took place way out in the districts, and very little action in the center, an actor went undercover as a potential customer, asked a girl if she was working, she said yes and she requested they go to a near by sauna, she realized something was up and just walked away, police had a list of the mafia heads who control prostitution in Moscow, (kind of like a FBI mafia diagram) showed reinactments of girls being beaten by thugs, interesting segment and the some of the girls in these line ups were very attractive.

Thank you, thank you , thank you for sharing all of that information. It's fascinating.

I think maybe Jackson needs to create a special thread just for you called "Kurenda's Korner". This is fabulous information and otherwise very difficult to get from just about any official source for many of the reasons you mention.

Thanks again for the effort.

Good stuff, Kurenda! What was your take on Metropol and National "back in the day"? I thought they were supposed to be the best.

BTW, if you want a Soviet propogandists' view on whoring in those times, be sure to check out this movie: [url]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097584/[/url] I found it to be fucking hilarious (and no, it's not supposed to be). Not sure if you can find it with English subtitles, though.

[QUOTE=Want Russian Hoe]

I wonder where to go for the most quality white girls.

I've got a $2.5 k college grant to go to rural russia and study some power systems economic shit;

I'm more interested in the economics of fucking hot russian girls.

I can justify in my paper going ANYWHERE

[/QUOTE]

From a finances viewpoint, $2500 will get you a RT plane ticket from the US and about a week in a hotel in any city except Moscow or St. Pitr.

Hopefully, as long as you're gonna justify your mongering, then you've got more to work with than that?

That is, if you plan to be "studying shit", for longer than a week.

If your grant, is simply what you plan to utilize for mongering, you may get more subjects, or holes, to study.

You need to be just a bit more specific, if you want to get some help here.

Want Russian Hoe:
-------------------

Give some more details of the purpose of your trip.

You say you want to go to "rural Russia" but still mention Kazahstan and Belarus. If you go on college business well there must be some specific place where you do it.
If you're first timer in former SSSR then probably Belarus and Kazahstan are not places for you. I would reccommend Ukraine and I can elaborate more for you. You mention college grant which makes you student or maybe proffessor.

There are chances to fuck hot girls but also you can get fucked also through various scams and rip offs.

How much time you will spend and also how's your russian: good, basic or non existant at all.

Yes that "Detectives" is aobut crime but I think it's originally from Vladivostok.
There's a debate is it for real and many agree it is staged with actors and not real events. Put there's a real police actions against prostitution on the outskirts of Moscow. Not because of prostitues (police care for them only when they give free service) but many of those girls are simply bait used by gangs to raid trucks and steal them complete with cargo. Also private cars no matter they are old Lada or new BMW. The driver stops to get some action and then 10 guys jumps him to take truck, cargo, car, money what ever they can get. Many people got killed that way. Police in Russia as in any other country don't want this things happening on their roads so they take necessary action. Nobody will film police action in down town of Moscow since there's not any. A TV programm about crime in Moscow called "Criminal Moscow" shows crime mostly in the Moscow down town but you'll never see police action against prostitution there. They mostly show traffic accidents, thefts, and things like that. Occasinally some russian guy who was riped off by some prostites and got his money stolen. Very opposite is similar program in Minsk about crime called "Zona X". There police do their thing seriously like showing several guys very beaten up explaining they are "members of russian mafia arrested in hotel in Minsk trying to introduce prostitution", etc. In Russia it's simple. Prostitution is controlled by organised together with government and law enforcement structures - it's the same in any other country. Everybody get their piece of cake the girls getting the smallest. But in russian Duma there's ongoing debate what to do with prostitution in Russia.

Some (they are minority) wants to legalise it and get money from taxes like countries in EU. Other (they are majority) want the new laws where customer is be criminally responsible and not the girl. Like in Taiwan where prostitute can get 3 months in prison and customer up to 10. They even get 3 cities in Russia where this laws will be introduced as test to see how things will work. They are kept as secret but it's known they are on lower Volga so they can be Ulanovsk, Samara, Saratov, Astrahan). So everybody pay attention not to end in those russian jails for foreigners - not a place you want to see.

Thanks for your opinion about my posts. It's nothing much, I happened to be there at that time and I have lots of memories of all kinds being good, bad or strange. SSSR at that time was more or less different place than today of course. But in todays Russia it's hard to talk with people about. Young people don't remember it because they were very young. Those old enough prefer to remember only good things and those less good they prefer tu put under rug. But when they learn I was there at the same time as them they become like open book and we share our memories. There are so many things I can tell about anyway.

You're right hotels Metropol and National were best at those days. But they were mainly reserved for special guest. Like soviet party offcials were staying there during party meetings in Moscow, most sucessful svoiet sportmen, etc. From foreigners only the very important ones like presidents, prime ministers on official visitation to SSSR. Like Kim Il Sung and his 200 people delegation were staying in Metropol on official visit. Or some VIP people like Pepsi CEO John Scully (I think I got the right name, later he was CEO of Apple computers) he was staying in Metropol, famous chess mathecs were played at National, german pop band Moder Talking were also in Metropol when they had their concert in Moscow. For those "common foreigners" there was a rountine. Americans and those from western Europe were staying in "Inturist". Those from Poland in hotel "Warsawa" (as their capital). Those from former Yugoslavia in hotel "Belgrad" (Belgrade being capital of former Yugoslavia and Serbia today). Those from Czechoslovakia in hotel "Bratislava". Those from France in "Cosmos" ("Cosmos was joint venture between soviet and french government). Stuff there spoke french language and also those coming from African and arab countries were staying in "Cosmos" also because french was widely spoken in those countries. I only don't know where they put all those soviet visitors? Tourist information about Moscow at that time always spoke about two million domestic tourist every day in Moscow coming from other parts of Soviet Union every day.

Movie "Interdevochka" is strange, it was a first soviet movie openly portraying prostitution. Russian woman not satisfied with her soviet life turns to p4p for $$$$, meets a swedish guy a marries him. But she can not adopot to a life in foreign country where she's just a russian prostutie. So her new life leeds to new troubles. Probably the same things happens today.

Interesting things is the main charachter in the movie Tatiana is hospital nurse. Check my previous post where I mention hospital nurses becoming prostitutes. This was a typical thing in SSSR where most people were thinking that only a hospital nurse can be a good prostitute. So this was reflected into movie also. Not by her skills in bed but in SSSR hospital nurse was always presented as beautiful young woman, who is sweet, nice, caring and taking care of her patients and never in bad mood. So soviet men wanted their prostitues to be the same. Asking prostitue what she does when she's not with a customer she would most certainly say she's a nurse even when she's not he he. Just wondering how's ste situation today and if many hospital nurses are turning tricks.

Must be something in what you say.

Here's a great girl from Rostov I met last summer in Prague.

Roundtrip airfare from the east coast to Moscow was as low as $350 including taxes in the last month. Roundtrip train fare to Samara is around $80. One night in the Volga hotel (the old Soviet hotel) in Samara starts at 670 RUR.

So one week in Samara from the US is as low as $1000 or so, plus visa costs.

It's a shame that you don't receive PM's as I would like to read more of your recollections and experiences but perhaps it's way outside the scope of this thread?

Do you live in Moscow? Or abroad? Would be happy to buy you a beer (or many beer) to hear more about these things. As I told Helena Moscow over a year ago, I think there's a "best seller" in there somewhere. As you say, it's information that most people who know anything about the topic want to forget. And everyone else doesn't really know. If the ones who know are not "talking" then the information will die. But perhaps that's what the current regime would prefer?

Regards,

Jake

You're right hotels Metropol and National were best at those days. But they were mainly reserved for special guest.

Yup, I'd heard as much. Interesting how they segmented the visitors into staying in particular hotels, but where information was (and still is) a weapon, it makes sense. They certainly didn't want collaboration between Czechs and Poles, for example.

I only don't know where they put all those soviet visitors? Tourist information about Moscow at that time always spoke about two million domestic tourist every day in Moscow coming from other parts of Soviet Union every day.

Two million daily? Maybe for Stalin's funeral, but otherwise that sounds like way too much.

Movie "Interdevochka" is strange, it was a first soviet movie openly portraying prostitution. Russian woman not satisfied with her soviet life turns to p4p for $$$$, meets a swedish guy a marries him. But she can not adopot to a life in foreign country where she's just a russian prostutie. So her new life leeds to new troubles. Probably the same things happens today.

I saw it strictly as a piece of propaganda from politicians who felt that they were losing their grip on the Russian populace. Key message: "Life abroad might seem great, but there's no Russian Soul [TM] there and without that, you'd be better off dead."

Interesting comment about nurses and prostitutes. As for my personal experience, I've never met one who was a nurse...
