There seems to be a myth going around that English-speaking prostitutes are "cleaner" than others.
Or that -- being an English-speaking straight guy -- you are "clean. The women paid by American customers were younger and more likely to speak English than their counterparts, and they were more apt to inject drugs and have unprotected sex, said Steffanie Strathdee, chief of the international health division at the University of California San Diego. She wrote the report, which appears in the current edition of the journal Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
But these are highly vulnerable women. They are being bribed to have unprotected sex. Health experts had long assumed that STD infection rates in Mexican border towns were relatively low based on a few outdated surveys, Strathdee said. Of the prostitutes who catered to Americans, 8 percent tested positive for gonorrhea, 14 percent for chlamydia, 7 percent for HIV and 16 percent for syphilis.
My "spin" on it here. Ok, I have a friend in Mexico. She is 50, I am She is beautiful. I go threre three times a year. We have unprotected sex all the time for the past two years. She does not speak english, I don't speak spanish yet we get along fine because we have connected as people.
I was alone one night in Cancun, I asked a friend if she knew a nice lady who might want to spend time with me. I'm very handsom gringo, so they tell me. So it is what it is. Yeah, Lorenzo I had sex in Mexico too. With a Mexican! Without a condom! Whaddaya say about that, Rich, huh? So there, too! While we are at it, I'd like to warn all tourists to Mexico that, contrary to some reports, electricity works the same and one should avoid sticking metal objects into electrical sockets.
