Well, if daty is considered sex then it should be covered. It was never offered in the eighties and nineties. If the agency found out, you were fired. They needed to ensure their customers health.
Sexual acts need to be protected...so the question is: what is sex?
I have heard several fellas in years gone by comment that as long as the penis is not in the vagina it is not sex. So lets take a look at this:
If your wife is at work and a male coworker rubs her shoulders is that sex?
If he get down on his knees and licks her clit is that sex?
If he bumps into her in the storage room and they spontaneously begin to DFK without touching, is that sex?
If the President of the United States lets an intern suck his cock is that sex?
If a pretty girl accidentally falls backwards into your lap, both of you are clothed, and you get a hard on and start to grind, is that sex?
Up until recently, In the escort world, and the street worker world, any contact that shares body fluids is sexual contact. Body fluids are the medium through which bacteria and viruses move from victim to victim. They are smart bloody critters too! Never underestimate their abilities. They know humans want sex really bad and they want you to have sex really bad!
I often wonder if viruses and bacteria are capable of changing brain function. Do they climb up into the ole control tower and change the settings, causing folks to abandon common sense when fucking strangers?
