In other words, it seemed to me that she was saying that prostitution was value-neutral and was something she could do if needed, but would prefer not to.
Probably because it is a licensed profession in the Netherlands, & not the taboo that it is in the US.
And because it is, they go through weekly health checks for sexual diseases.
So in one respect a licensed whore might be safer than the one-night stands some are saying would be ok, given that one-night stands probably aren't doing the whole health check thing, & if they're doing a 1-nighter w/ someone's hubby, fiance or boyfriend, they could be doing it w/ others as well
Still think this is a topic for Omni. Cheers.
