After posting bond, hiring an attorney, paying fines, spending a mandatory 30 days in jail, 40 hours community service, divorce, $500 a month alimony for 5 years, half my stock and half my retirement and loss of respect from damn near everyone I knew it was not a hard decision to never, ever under any circumstance go anywhere near a SW again. Even now with all the research I do before scheduling with a provider I am extremely nervous during the first few minutes of a session. You can never be 100% certain that the person you are seeing is not undercover. As far as SW's, there is no way in hell I would ever go anywhere near where one my be lurking.

As far as the original question goes, men probably see street walkers for the same reason they see escorts. It's really pretty much the same thing.
My attorney once told me that men can lie about their sex lives and women can lie about their age. Those are the two rules. So not seeing a man because he's had experience with a street walker doesn't make sense to me. Most men wouldn't admit to it anyway. Besides, a LOT of escorts (the ones that we see online sometimes) started out on the streets. Doesn't seem quite right to be that prejudice.
I would think there would be a visceral thrill, I'm sure, associated with it. Again, the same as seeing an escort for many.
I'm probably going to get slammed for this but I don't mind. I wouldn't NOT see a man because he had visited a street walker.
Sue me.
