(NSFW Mod) Prostitution

List of relevant links spoilered out:
Figured I'd start a dedicated thread so we could discuss what we could do with them, and also consider a join-able prostitute guild.
My suggestion for prostitutes is to make them "Grand Theft Auto" style, as in you pay them and they restore your stats. The trade off vs the innkeeper is that they as considerably more expensive (1000 gold?) while they are much faster (either a multiplier or a flat 1 hour rest time for full stat recovery). Could only work for health and/or magicka, fatigue would be lowered after the fact. Price could be lowered by streetwise skill, and also count as a skill use. May lower certain reputations for using this service.
Not sure what to suggest for a prostitute guild, all I can think of would be simple quests to "visit" a house or inn. Good money, but may lower certain reputations considerably. Could also be linked into Etiquette and/or Streetwise skills, giving them more usefulness. Would be separate from the Merchants and Innkeepers quests prostitutes can offer. High rank quest could send you into a dungeon to find a cure for a rare STD temples can't cure plaguing the guild. Another high rank quest could send you to a noble in a castle to do unspeakable things that ultimately lowers your reputation with peasants considerably.
Unsanctioned prostitution could also be a thing, with retaliation from the guild.
Which factions(if any) frown upon prostitution is up for debate.
In either case, buying or selling, there should be the chance to contract a disease. This would of course encourage players to visit the local temple to get cleansed afterwards.
