There's a mild difference in that a couple means the risk of infected material is lower.

In England you can't give blood if you've ever received money for sex, and you must wait for at least 12 months if you've paid for sex.

These restrictions exist because there is a higher risk of infection.

BTW. I wonder what's the chance of getting infected when cleaning up used condoms after someone who's infected?

If we're talking about HIV, then it's roughly zero. In theory I guess it could happen if you had a cut on your hands, but then, it's easy enough to take the appropriate precautions if that's the case.

What do you mean by "infected material"? Handling used condoms is gross but perfectly safe (and of course you can just use gloves if you're paranoid).

Ahhh, lovely England. I spent about 9 months there, about 35 years ago. And now I can't give blood in the USA. Because of mad cow disease (the human name is too hard to remember).

So, either all the English are giving each other mad cow disease all the time by giving blood, or nobody in England who was alive 35 years ago can ever give blood, or the USA is over-reacting. Truth be told I'm happy I can't give any more, because it made me feel tired.

Management isn't a fan of it, but unless you can prove something concretely what are you going to do? The money is as good as any other and if the escorts are respectable to the property and rules, why not?

Personally I'm on good terms with a few of the local escorts, they always have great stories and are fairly personable. Not a fan of their line of work, but hey revenue!

Albeit, granted I'm sure the regulars weren't generally in the practice of wrecking the rooms... but cleaning up after the horrible things people do in their rooms is pretty stock standard for the hotel industry...

No one "likes" it, but no one likes cleaning toilets either, and that still needs getting done and people do it and its stock/standard of being a cleaner...

And if you're not hiring a cleaner to clean your rooms and doing it yourself, you can bet 100% you'll be cleaning up some pretty horrible stuff in the accommodation industry. If they leave the room in a bad state, that just makes them bad customers...

A little of both, depending on the "class" involved, and the location.

You might be surprised to learn that a lot of prostitution happens during the day-time. In largish-hotels a bloke going up to a room, spending 30-60 minutes there, and coming down wouldn't stand out. Even if the same host entertained 5+ people in her day.

(Unless you get involved in high-end work you'll virtually never have an overnight booking. Average duration amongst the people I knew was 60-90 minutes.)

I was not under the impression it was common for several clients to be booked during the one night.

I believe the girls would either use the hotel room for:

a) A place of work for regular specific bookings: it has the benefit of not being at a brothel/not at their home if they aren't comfortable with that, and it can become a familiar place and you'll be "reasonably" safer than going out to a clients house.

b) A way to work if you're in a different city/having another girl coming from another city.

Obviously, if you remember your freakonomics, there are levels to the prostitutions market. So there is the possibility of:

c) Its a place to drum up new business. I imagine places like hotels in Washington/Canberra where people are there on business, have money, and are away from their families, is, in the prostitution business, a place of relatively high demand. So the clients might have a room there that they're already paying for...

Now to be fair, this is at the relatively upper-end of the prostitution market.

Ironically, in the context of my other discussions in this thread, in this country at least, if there's a super low-end part of the prostitution market, i'd expect it to be operating out of illegal brothels...and probably out of unmarked houses out in the burbs...

The state of the flat is unfortunate but goes with the territory for AirBnB / hotels etc.

Surprise: not the escorts book the rooms, but the clients, and the most weird stuff is usually found within the wealthier client groups.

Cleaning weird stuff is a regular thing in hotels and hostels; and condoms aren't even weird, they'd be probably the most common stuff found in hotel room trashcans.
