Yeah I know it’s really supposed to be a warning against drugs but I don’t think it’s unlikely the girl was a prostitute either, pretty damn likely. ---

Middle aged escorts rarely live to age 60 due to organ or body part failure. This of course is also nonsense. Even if they were based on actual data, the calculations are wrong; 5 clients a day works out to about 150 in a month, not 20. Even if prostitutes orgasmed regularly (they probably rarely do) that still doesn’t “push a body to its limits,” certainly not enough to cause heart failure. (In fact, such regular aerobic exercise should make prostitutes less susceptible to heart problems, no more so.;)) ---

After that, you can tell that it’s not fun getting busted anymore. Not so funny anymore. ☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-happens-to-old-hookers/95250.md?page=2)
