They're both selling sex so as far as protection is concerned I don't see a difference.
I think it's fair to say there is a bit delusion on both sides. The girl in denial about what they're doing and the guy similar despite the cold hard facts of it all being sex work whichever way you fluff it.
With the nature of swapping photos, chats and normally meeting in a public setting first adding a bigger element of 'choice' about the whole thing. With things processing in an organic way similar to how they would on a dating site, rather than a straightforward transaction.
The nature of this being more dating site than AW, tends to lead to more bareback like there would be in civvie dating. And the risks are huge. Nit quite creampieing Kirie, but rhe majority are students where STDs are rife. Then add in the fact if they'll bareback you, they'll bareback any other bloke they've met off there -, and who's he barebacked. Its some melting pot.
Over half of the girls I've met off seeking would have barebacked if not for my intervention. And even then I've been caught short a few times when urges at 3am or what not when a girls stopping over and wanted some.
Caught my first and only dose of chymidia off a girl on there and there where 2 contenders in the period. Had to awkwardly send a message to all partners working back from my previous clean test which wasnt good.
