Healthy Hustling

Keep up the good work, guys!

Many people try to blame male prostitutes for the spread of HIV and AIDS. But studies since 1989 in Montreal, New York, Atlanta and San Francisco prove that hustlers know a lot about safe sex.

  • Pros averaged 86% on a test about AIDS.
  • 9 out of 10 guys always use condoms for fucking ass.
  • 3/4 always use rubbers for any fucking.
  • 3/4 of the pros use condoms with their tricks.
  • More than half always use condoms for blow jobs.

  • 83% of pros talk to partners about using condoms.

Hustlers are leaders in
the fight against AIDS.

We not only work safe, we often teach clients about condoms and how to use them properly. So keep working safe. But you can also get AIDS from having unsafe sex for free.

These studies also show that sometimes some hustlers don't use rubbers with lovers and people we have sex with for free. Like most people, we take more chances with people we like. Remember to play safe too!
