Prostitutes: Difference between revisions

Prostitutes (aka Hookers) have been in all the Grand Theft Auto games since GTA III. They are only out on the streets at nighttime, and to get their services you have to drive close to them and honk your horn.

Prostitutes can get your health up past 100%, but it costs you money. However, you can kill the hooker and take your money back when you're finished -- probably the in-game situation most commonly cited by critics of GTA's violence/amorality.

Picking up hookers have pretty much been the same for GTA III and GTA Vice City; simply by pulling up to one. Honking your horn isn't really necessary in order to get a hooker in your car. You can only have sex with them on any ground that can kick up dirt or sand as the game doesn't consider seclusion as a factor. Having "sex" with a hooker is just an effect of your car bouncing up and down.

In GTA San Andreas, however, if a hooker approaches your car, you have the option to accept or decline her offer to enter the car by simply using the "positive" or "negative" response buttons you normally use when speaking to pedestrians. This is useful, since many complained that they did not want hookers getting in their car when they simply pulled to the side of the road. Seclusion is now considered a factor. The effect is still the car bouncing up and down. If you complete the Pimping missions, prostitutes will pay you instead.

In GTA IV, this is replaced with a "yes" option, or just don't press that button if you want "no".You can also have different types of sex in the game,It cost $20 for a "handjob",it costs $50 for a "blowjob",and it costs $70 for actual sex. You are unable to pick up prostitutes in emergency vehicles, the Trashmaster and the Bus, with Niko citing various reasons.
