Advice on escorts and STD's

[Laphroaig]

I never said I did have facts to back it up, it was speculation.

What exactly have I used as an example???

ALL I was saying is you cannot go to see an escort and not expect them to have harmful diseases... is that not just common sense?

I'm really getting bored of this

My experience of TS escorts is limited compared to many on here but I've seen a total of 7 TS escorts, all have used condoms and I haven't caught any STDs. That is a fact, albeit from a limited sample range.

If your "speculation" was correct I should have done bareback with at least 3 and picked up more than 1 STD from them.

If (and this is speculation) the prevalence of bareback and STDs among escorts was as high as you claim then the escort review section on here would be filled with horror stories.

As for common sense, I've already posted it but it seems to be worth repeating as you're not listening, either wear a condom or if you are still worried about the risk don't visit an escort in the first place.

Common sense would also ask why you posted the original question in the first place if you've already made your mind up that most escorts are diseased barebackers?

If you can't back it up you shouldn't speculate or make racially-based slurs.

If you can't post without insulting other members you shouldn't be posting

I support Rod's banning of this user, even though he's sent me a long argument about how he wasn't trolling, reading through this thread, it seems he certainly was - and starting a thread with racial slurs such as he did, is never a good start.

I've monitored and moderated this site for many years and it's clear some people do just come on to spread (non) facts and create issues about transsexuals and sex workers. The more conspiracy-minded amongst us may believe these are part of a system to try and spread these rumors further, and the rest of us, that they're just sad little cunts.

Either way as his email account rejected mine (futher proof) then here is my answer as I'm sure you'll be back to read it some way or another.

"I read the whole thread, I think a) you're a troll b) you did use racial based ignorant slurs in your first post.
If the moderator of that forum banned you - then that's his call."

His belief is nothing new, there are many people who have the same misconception about stds and escorts. I have seen people report higher number for transgender in terms of HIV, which is not reflective of the actual number based on groups who want to ban prostitution.

I have had many people tell me that prostitution spreads disease. They look at the odds and say how can someone who has sex at that frequency must have something?

Just read Canada's discussion of their new prostitution law. You will see some groups argue that the prostitutions can increase the spread of disease. Most people think prostitution is street prostitution or rarely the high-end prostitution where a person is 10,000 dollars a night. (For crying out loud look at the majority of Hollywood's portrayal.)

I wouldn't be hard on him, he just doesn't know and he will let his fears play on him. He is not the only one. Most people don't take the time to inform themselves about issues and usually let assumption dictate their thoughts and actions.

I didn't find he was trolling. I was going to link him to some articles by sexual health medical professionals about prostitution to help him in his decision. He just lacked information and just taking someone's word on the internet without anything else can sometimes be a no no. I seen people have misconceptions on this board and this is just another one of them.

lots of disinformation.
HIV is NOT a death sentence, but its not a good place to be either. It will mean a lifetime on medication which can shorten your life expectancy.

But Truvada is not a cast iron guarantee against infection either - no matter how many times wetheangelino says it is. Its a pretty good way of reducing the risk.

BThe best way is to play safe.

And westheangelino also forgets there are plenty of other things out there you an get from unprotected sex Increasingly anti-biotic resistant Syphilis for instance and hepatitus.
