Is this article supposed to be a warning or a recommendation? In the old days they told us that if you are paid for sex, not only have you entered a profession, but also you can expect to become shopworn. The theory was that men (or, I suppose, these days women) pay for sex in order to be excused from any further obligation or emotional connection. Some have interpreted that as freedom, a point of view now out-of-date.

We now know about such expensive lifelong problems as AIDS or Hep C and the interest society will have in tracking down carriers. Nor is a John anonymous anymore, since his DNA provides a calling card. Even his diseases will have a DNA signature.

Jane's coverline should read: "S*x tricks so good your John will want to pay you." And Jane needs a good kick in the ... no, too many people enjoy that sort of thing these days. Some will even pay to be kicked, to be killed.

I think the operative words here are "want to pay you." Not "will pay you" or "should pay you." I think it is probably a poor choice of words, but it might be akin to "an Italian meal so good, you could charge your guests!" or something like that.
