Epistemic status: speculation

So how does getting sexual experience with prostitutes translate over to getting into sexual relationships with regular women through dating, any way?

It doesn't (unless you're subconsciously self-sabotaging because you're scared that you will make a bad impression with your first sexual performance or something). OTOH, it doesn't hurt either (except via opportunity costs, but then so does anything else). So how does eating at restaurants translate over to learning how to cook? It doesn't, but that's not what people eat at restaurants for.
