Thank you for your response. I appreciate it.

The problem I have concerning diseases and prostitutes is that, although many get tested often, almost all testing excludes hsv and hpv unless specifically requested. And since ~12% of the population carry hsv-2, which can shed asymptomatically and be contracted from skin-to-skin groinal contact, it seems that it's an eventuality if I pick up prostitution long term, and then it's for life.

Condoms help, but they're not perfect. I asked on a forums once if prostitutes would be okay if I wore condom shorts such as the following link, and I was told that (1) the hobby was not for me, (2) the probability of contraction given the use of condoms is low enough not to be a consideration, and (3) the item probably wasn't tested under the same standards as condoms so probably isn't as safe (I figure latex material such as this would be a find physical barrier).

I'm still contemplating it but am having trouble digesting the sti risk. The legal risk doesn't bother me.

I was where you are for about 10 years. Don't give up hope, it can end.

Also have you tried websites for "sugar babies" instead of an actual prostitute. Someone who is willing to get tested, and sleep with you regularly but doesn't have the same risk profile as a prostitute?

I've considered it but haven't had much luck.

For a period of time in the past I ran a small porn production shop wherein I would hire and then get recent test results from models. But TTS, the industry standard, doesn't test for hsv or hpv so I gave up while I was ahead.

For someone who wants to die constantly, you seem very concerned about taking good care of your body and health.

Not insulting you, I know how weird and contradictory humans can be. It's just interesting.

I know. It's ridiculous, and I hate it, but that's my mental state. I think I wrote it was counter intuitive in my initial post because, as you point out, it's as rational as pi.
