Pretty much. There is a bit of NPC dialogue near the Brume where one NPC is utterly scandalized by the suggestion that he ever intended to procure the services of a prostitute in the Brume, but phrased in a way that suggests he was probably planning to do exactly that anyway.

So if it happens, it's not spoken of in polite company.
