Nice lesson Stefan and I completely agree on the fact that language is an evolving entity.

I have one question though:
If the male version refers to "doing high quality stuff and knows what he's doing" and the female version refers to "prostiture", does that imply that all female prostitutes "do high quality stuff and know what they are doing" and does it imply that there are no male prostitutes?

I have no experience with the quality of prostitutes, sorry. But I don't think the quality matters, in that case it really has to do with earning money with it. There are male prostitutes, but I only ever heard of young guys, which are called "Stricher" oder "Strichjunge". Strich means something like line, and I can't explain it further. It's probably like callboy. I don't think there's a name for older male prostitues, but maybe there just aren't any?

No, streaker is something different. There's a term "auf den Strich gehen" (going on the line) used for prostitutes, could be because they're at some streets standing in a line waiting for "customers", but I'm not sure.
