A Pimp Named Slickback writes in with a job offer guaranteed to tickle the fancy of many.
German social media site KaufMich.com [NSFW, German language] (literal English translation: "Buy Me") is currently recruiting a full-time "prostitute tester" to vet and rate the products on its virtual shelves.
According to a piece by David Moye over at the Huffington Post:
A willingness to lie down on the job is a requirement, if you get our drift.
Moye goes on to say that according to kaufmich.com's product manager:
"Clients on Kaufmich should be able to check the quality of brothels before there go -- like you check your hotel online before you book."
Besides scoring tips for carnal consumers, the ideal candidate "should enjoy having fun with people and not be afraid of contact."
If you think you have the right equipment for this job, whip out your resume or CV and stroke it until it gives you a chance to stand out from the crowd.

the sexually transmitted diseases these environments may harbor
You think people never get STDs in other "environments"?
Your dismissive word "environments" reveals your ignorance of the subject. You are over-simplifying. Are you aware that there is a wide spectrum of "environments" ranging from on the ground behind the buildings in a factory estate, through brothels in either town centres or small discrete houses in the suburbs, to ladies' own flats and houses when their husbands (if they have one) are out (or in, or even join in) ? This latter type of prostitute is known as an "Independent".
Believe it or not, there are "respectable" ladies whose husbands/BFs are away a lot who actually want sex and company, and who find it easier, safer and more reliable to find a temporary partner by advertising as a prostitute than by hanging around in a bar or trying a dating site. The cash is handy for them too.
It is safer and more reliable for them because there are websites (in the UK at least - you can soon Google for them) where bookings can optionally be made and taken through the website, so there is a record. The girls also warn each other of dodgy clients. Clients can register (but don't have to) and get reviewed by the girls, because some girls will only see clients with good reports.
What you dismiss as an environment is in fact a whole sub-culture, one that can be a whole lot more predictable and reliable than the shark pool of "respectable" casual relationships.
