outside of the high rate girls working on their own,.....the illegal prostitutes are no "prettier" or "slimmer"

the idea that prostitutes are like julia roberts in the movies is misplaced.(i am not saying dan thinks this way..just talking generally)

I have no personal experience either....except i did watch the HBO series..cathouse or something like that. and its as dan describes,,,,,except on HBO i am sure they didnt invite the old fat ones for the filming.

to answer a question above....since its mostly uderground ,,disease rates are unknown. A doctor treating you doesnt care if you got the STD from your wife or your prostitute. They will suggest that you notify your partners but thats as far as it goes unless you want to volunteer the info.
