Sex workers, fair sex
Sex work is a profession offering services like many others. Be fair and respectful.
Respect
- The services and their prices are non-negotiable and must be paid for in advance.
- Respect what has been mutually agreed.
- No means no: Accept the specifications of the sex workers.
- Always use a condom and a lubricant.
