STDs are just as easily spread throughout the main stream. People don't realise how common they are.
Doesn't make the person with them any less of a selfish prick either.

no

I think paying for sex is dishonerable and horrible.

Well, the thing is, prostitues you KNOW have been with so many men they're swarming and crawling with disease. Mainstream is a crapshoot but eh, I wouldn't waste my time on a guy that hadn't been TESTED first. Either way.

Even if it was a legal brothel where the women are tested regularly and required to use protection?

Face it, it's smart to get yourself and your partner tested before you start a physical relationship with them... regardless of who they have slept with in the past.

Combined rates of chlamydia and gonorrhoea were just over 10% among straight people, 14% among gay men, just under 5% in female prostitutes, and 10.4% among swingers.

so prostitues had 5% chlamydia which is less than all other groups.

I wonder if the risk of HPV and herpes is higher though, apparently these can be transmitted despite condoms.

But, the main problem I have is the financialising of something I think shoul be between two adults who are enjoying themselves. I think maybe some prostitutes enjoy their job, but most would be in it for the money, and I would be unhappy to know a man I dated had helped sponsor a woman to buy drugs, or sponsor her pimp's car, or help bankroll someone who traffics humans from another country, or sleeps with someone who was abused as a child, and now thinks they are not worth more than dollar bills.

It totally depends on whether I was in a relationship with him or just having sex with him.

In the first case, absolutely not. In the second case, yeah I guess so.

no significant changes in the poll. i have left it open for 30 days, but it seems as though the results are pretty steady. interesting! don't think anybody could have predicted the percentage of Yes or No.

As did I. But then again, a lot of people were in the middle ground about it. "Yes, but only if..." Either way, it's surprising.

Very interesting poll. I enjoyed this thread very much.

This may be a leap, but I'm assuming everyone that said yes had conditions. I know I voted yes and I wouldn't do it without STD testing. Hell, these days I wouldn't start a sexual relationship with anyone without STD testing. Prostitutes in their past or not.

That makes sense. I had similar conditions too.

It's roughly 35% yes and 65% no - I find this pretty balanced and it's close to what I expected. Emilion said she thought there will me more votes for "no" - Hyperlexian and Erisad, would you care to say why you find the results surprising and what you would have expected them to be? I find this thread very interesting, too
