So how does getting sexual experience with prostitutes translate over to getting into sexual relationships with regular women through dating, any way?
I met a 20-something woman at the Venturist cryonics convention in Laughlin, Nevada, last year who talked to me more than she needed to as a social acknowledgment, which made me wonder if she felt attracted to me. I don't know how to interpret these situations in the handful of times they have happened in my life, so I don't know what to do, and they make me anxious.
If I had sexual learning experiences only from prostitutes, and I had nothing else to go on, should I have asked this woman how much money she wanted to come with me to my room in Laughlin's hotel for sex?
Epistemic status: speculation
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.
