Oh why am I not suprised at what has happened with this thread? Cherrylips is quite entitled to her views on this, and I must say I strongly agree with hers, and Jodie's views on this. Why should she not be able to post that she refuses to see guys who have seen BB girls? I'm not on AW but if I was I would do the same.

What about punters who do bareback with their wives, girlfriends or mistresses? What about clients who get "just this once" bareback from their favourite otherwise-safe prossie in exchange for being a loyal customer?Even if our clients have a few girlfriends who they engage in BB with, the risks are nowhere near an escort who sees a vast amount of men unprotected (and men who are seeing a vast number of WG's) - probably those offering BB.

I'm more interested in who you suggest we appoint to decide and police what adult women can and cannot do with their bodies, and what (legal) services we should be permitted (or not) to offer? Why stop at bareback? Plenty of people disapprove of hardsports/scat, BDSM and even OWO - shall we ban them as well?
It is up to the individual to decide what legal services he or she wants to offer or avail her/himself of, and to glibly state that because someone is prepared to provide or perform acts that we personally disapprove of must automatically be 'desperate' or 'exploited' is not only patronising, but disingenuous in the extreme.
People can offer whatever they like, provided they are within the law. There are enough folk out there who think we and our clients are all filthy scum - we don't need to start looking down our noses at each other too. And for the purposes of clarity, 1322 out of a total of 14221 female escorts [on AW at the time] currently advertising is slightly under nine and a half percent, which even without allowing for the sizeable chunk of those which will be fake, still means that over ninety percent of advertisers not offering it. Personally, I worry far more about the people who insist that they would never do such a thing, and then offer it anyway ( 'oh, it's just with a couple of regulars I've known for ages' seems to be a common one - the mind boggles).
Speaking for myself, I assume all clients do bareback with somebody, whether it's other prossies, one night stands or the missus and decide on my services accordingly. I suspect that we're the lowest risk group of the lot.
After several tries, I still haven't had any sort of answer to the first question. I don't do bareback or even OWO but from a hypothetical point of view, if I decided I was going to offer unprotected everything in every orifice for 50p, nobody, but NOBODY is going to tell me I can't. Who gets to decide for us what we are allowed to do with our own bodies and for what reason? Do we ban all unprotected sex between people who are not in a monogamous relationship, or just that where money has changed hands? How would this be enforced?Amy in response to your very valid question -in my view it is not for anyone to appoint anyone to tell us what we can/cant do - though we all are entitled to our points of view, which surely we can voice here! I dont offer hardsports/BDSM, but clients of mine who may go for that, arent going to be contracting HIV as readily than those having BB. I offer OWO (and having just submitted a huge paper on HIV infection in the UK, think I at least understand the risks on that), and they are ridiculously tiny as compared to BB (whether anal or vaginal).
We are all entitled to our views surely? By having moderators jump on you for stating anything that is not 100% PC, which it will never be with such complex issues, and then backing each other up when people defend their views sort of defeats the whole object of speaking out on here? I have utmost respect for this forum and the mods, who really offer such a good service to WG's - especially the newbies, but having been a member here for a short while, however having read the forum for quite a while, I do find that I actually am quite afraid to post what I really feel as it seems (in my opinion) that this is a very strictly moderated forum (has its positives) but the negatives include that you just may not get members who want to discuss controversial topics without the fear of being chastised.
