QtM, did you see a lot of UTIs and kidney infections amongst said clientelle? I’ve heard so many stories about women who had to cut their honeymoons short for these reasons that I’d think this would be pretty much a given for ladies in the biz if they have a busy week. ---

> [@Kobal2](#): > > 20 hours a day :dubious: ? C’mon, son. Who goes to a brothel at 6 AM ? It wasn’t a brothel, but as I’ve mentioned before, I did work part-time one semester in Honolulu at a 24-hour adult bookstore that had video booths in the back. Lots of guys stopped in on their way to work before 8am. Just had to get that morning wank in. ---

I’ve heard so many stories about women who had to cut their honeymoons short for these reasons that I’d think this would be pretty much a given for ladies in the biz if they have a busy week. Nope. “Honeymoon cystitis” tends to occur with folks who are not used to having regular intercourse. ---

> [@Teaira](#): > > Not to mention, it’s not like most have sex for the entire hour. There are formalities to follow, introductions to be made as well as foreplay. I’d say most sessions probably only have 15-20 mins max of “real” sex involved, though there’s surely exceptions. You have reminded me of this one working girl who used to be at Cactus Club in Soi Cowboy, which is owned and operated by John from Missouri. This one girl would apparently just not stop. Ever. All night long. John said guys who had taken her home with them for the night would complain to him – actually complain – that she would not let them sleep. 4am and she’d be like, “Okay, let’s go! Up and at 'em! One more time!” He finally had to fire her from all the complaints. I spotted her one time after that sitting outside a bar in Nana Plaza. ---

> [@Evil\_Captor](#): > > Cite? Sorry, I can’t provide a cite - IIRC it was in a MacLean’s magazine article I read many years ago. The girl was in Calgary. Still made me wonder about legit prostitutes & porn stars - how they handle DP, etc. In a related story to the thread topic, a few years ago a woman sued for benefits due to carpal tunnel syndrome. She was a phone-sex operator and getting herself off all day for clients gave her carpal tunnel. [http://www.salon.com/1999/11/29/suit/](http://www.salon.com/1999/11/29/suit/) (quick search couldn’t find a more legit news source, but I do remember seeing it in the “weird news” section of mainstream papers.) ---

> [@Evil\_Captor](#): > > Cite? The sex trafficking industry, and by that I mean NGOs that rake in millions of dollars a year in government grants by promoting hysteria about sex trafficking, churns out stories like these … but many are fabrications. Take with many grains of salt. Huh? You need a cite for this? The point of what she said was that children are damaged by prostitution. Dude, I’ve worked with the children this shit happened to. It happens. Yes, they need operations afterwards. I don’t get what you need a cite for. Why don’t you go tell some of the kids I worked with their experiences were fabrications? Or actually, just come and tell me to my face. What is wrong with you? ---
