Whats with all the CSW questions?
I guess I am old school when it comes to sex. I myself would never seek out a CSW due to the fact of the worries of STD's. Why is it that so many visit CSW then worry later. It appears that the sexual urge is more over powering at the time then worrying about STD's. I guess the easy access or the availability of the CSW is easier and less time consuming then actually seeking out a relationship and going from there. Ok i'm climbing down my soap box..lol... Sorry guys really no offense if you chose this option it's every individuals right to do want they want and with who.
A guy at my work went with a CSW and she told him of the 938 men she'd been with so far that year he was the best.
Which group are next in the firing line?
MOTOS, MOTSS, people who choose to work in healthcare settings?
I didn't go with a CSW so to speak. Sex isn't isn't high on my agenda and I certainly couldn't afford to pay for something I'm not particularly bothered about. I was seeing someone a couple of years back and she got pregnant sto someone else so I was avoiding sex and women for a while (ahem, two years bar one short relationship. Except lesbian women because I never get any complications from them as female friends.
A cheques didn't come into my bank. I was stuck away from home, she offered to put me up for a night then a week at her home. She seemd a nice sort non drinker, non smoker, healthy just out of a stable relationship. We got on. I was coming home after I got a loan for my travel home. We got it on. Then she tlold me she is a SW. And her husband was!
I know a few SWs, female, male and a TS. Oh and one more now. I just hope that they always play it safe and don't get into dangerous situations.
It just throws up quite a lot of questions. That a couple of them smoke crack leads me to think that some SWs take way too big risks. How many customers would ask an SW to do it without a condom? How many SWs would do it sans condom for the money, particularly if they have an addiction? How many 'punters' are using many different SWs.
I discussed that I am waiting for tests with my ex G/F and I tested + for Chlamydia. She was pleased I thought of telling her but she told me she has a gay mate who has HIV. She said he's lost the plot and is visiting cruising sites not caring that he's infecting others, he wants to take as many people down with him as possible. Apparently.
So if there are people like that around soliciting then I

No problem at all. Everyone has different lifestyles or different ways for sex that is thier business not mine. I was just wanted to ask a question and wondered if those who visit CSW know what is all involved when using that type of service. Its seems that individuals go to a CSW but are not armed with the sexual health knowledge that they should possess and not worry about it later. It just seems that those who have protected sex with a CSW fear that they can catch HIV. I figure those CSW are very aware of STD transmission and really take the nesscary percautions to avoid them. I thought it best if you are going to worry about HIV the best thing to do is avoid them. The CSW have been around forever and that is never going to change and I am not against at all. Thanks for the post on this.
escort services are there to be there and will be there always even in the cowboy days they were there if you have a problem stayoff this forum buddy
Teak, Teak... my good friend Teak.
By the way thnx for blocking me. Anyways, if you would have carefully read what I wrote:
"...now after certainly knowing that protected sex is protected sex which means I was exposed to nothing"
You would've seen that I've overcome my "mental illness" (to use your words).
Thanks anyways for your input.

The only problem with you is that you have a mental illness. You have never been at risk for contracting HIV. "PROTECTED SEX."
I guess, thanks for understanding I hope everything ends up ok and I can move on. anyway bye.
See Mechfab?
Again it goes back to STD's, their transmission mechanism and barrier usage ignorance! Mik13 is troubling himself over N-O-T-H-I-N-G because he protected himself.
Unfortunately not all of us have had the chance to get well educated on STD's.

Just caulk it up to a great learning experience. Yes everyone is human and has needs. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for posting. Yes I too stepped out of my relationship and made a bad choice and learned a great lesson from it. Yes the worry and heart ache it caused me almost cost me everything in the world and I had to tell my wife what happened and when and who. My story: recieved unprotected oral sex from some one I did not know their status or if they had STD's. I hang here to help others and answer questions that I can answer with confidence and not try to hurt anyones feelings. I am always learning something new everyday from some one somewhere wheter good or bad. Thanks again!
its not that easy, Ive only had sex I once and thats why I'm here and it was with a CWS in macau and hate myself for it...I'm only 22 ended up in a sauna house ...really only wanted a massage and ended up in a room with a Vietnamese CSW....its was like all reason left my mind because the temptation was to strong...ive never had a GF or even been kissed and had dogged sex workers in Vietnam, Thailand, Hong Kong,Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia I guess i just snapped....and I had the money with me and I said im alone and it's only once...nothing of HIV, STD's or anyhting else went through my head the hormones were too strong...I wasent really planning to lose my virginity till I found a gf...but it wasen't that easy their are times you just can't controll yourself and then even though my condom didn't brake im still worried and for the first time in my life ive had women wanna go out with me and I had to turn them down do to fear I cought something. So i dunno I think just sometimes the urge is so strong it happens your not proud of it and it may not be a good excuse but thats how I think it is. and ill never get my first time back.. and have no one to blame but myself.
I am talking for myself on this one.
In my case (protected oral and vaginal with a csw of unkown hiv status), it brings lots of anxiety due to several reasons. First, it was my first time ever with a sex worker which brought to my mind HOW MANY guys she has had sex with and if you go even further in the chain that takes you to having had sex with thousands of people (when speaking of hers and her mate's sex history). As this was my first time with a sex worker, which I just did it because I wanted to see what it was like, she was hot, I was with some friend, bla bla bla... (BTW LEARNT THE LESSON... NOT WORTH THE FUN TIME VS. THE ANXIETY AND WORRIES IT BRINGS), little did I know about std's (including hiv) because althought I have been always a sexually active man it has always been with women of a trustable background so std's wasn't really my priority concern.
This ignorance of mine to std's took me into a very high anxiety level during the first month and a half after the "exposure", wich I quote as "exposure" now after certainly knowing that protected sex is protected sex which means I was exposed to nothing (I know... condoms do not fully protect against HPV and HSV but I didn't know that before!) but this was after nights with no sleep, days with no eating, etc. This, not to mention the irrational fear that was into me for the possibility of infecting my girlfriend (who I happen to live with).
I would have to say that all of these csw related questions are due to the fact that most people (including me) don't/didn't know about the actual risks involved when having sex (whether oral, anal or vaginal) and the effectiveness of a well used barrier such as a latex condom. Of course, like in my case, guilt plays an essential part because of the fear of harming your partner.
I have only found one person in this whole forum who has ever tested positive. I will not reveal her username but she got infected by several non protected vaginal contacts with her boyfriend who, by the way, didn't even know he was infected. If you searched over so many people that have posted here that get a neg result and were worried out of nothing, then you would see that the doctors' (Hands and Hook) statement is right when they say that 99% of the people that come to this website (including me) don't even have a risk of having contracted HIV.
Well... that was just my case and I hope I answered your question. And using Dr. Hook's words... Knowledge is power! (I wish I had that knowledge before this all began... would have saved me a lot of sleepless nights and worry).
