I seriously doubt if Donegal's actually a real place.
It's just a made up name from "Ryan's Daughter" or " Darby O'Gill and the Leprechauns" or some shite.

It's as real as Dublin you gobshite

Hmm. I doubt it. Even the Luas doesn't go there, and that thing even goes to Tallaght.

Perhaps you should get out more, that is if you are allowed.

I have my doubts that they were trafficked also. It just didn't add up if they had a return flight to their country of origin.

Call me cynical or naive, but if I was a pimp, I would make sure I had total control over their movement. No passport, no money and definately no feckin return flight tickets.

Care to enlighten us Jimbo......

You sound so sooooooooooo bad hon lol

The best I have read is they just had to pay 250 per rent, lucky them! Any escort touring anywhere in ireland knows perfectly that the room cost to work is more than 250 per week........................

Folks, can we calm down a bit here, and look at this more analyticaly than just what is reported in the papers.

Vanessa posted a more complete link to this in the sex work and media section.
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/...325681509.html

A transgender male escort and a female escort are arrested and charged with brothel keeping.

A very unfair charge as we all know, but nontheless it's the last thing any escort needs given that the brothel definition is so stupid (and designed to make things even more unsafe for escorts).

So they get a good lawyer, who tells them exactly how to get off. First they claim to be trafficked (and coerced against their will). That should help to get them off the brothel charge because you clearly can't be running a brothel if you are trafficked.

Second the transgender male escort claims to be HIV postive!! WHy the hell would anyone in their right mind admit they are HIV positive? Well in the Irish courts anyway, there is a long history of judges being lenient if the accused has a medical illness. And the more serious it is the better. In case you didn't read the full article, the female escort claimed she had previoiusly suffered a stroke!! At the age of 42, I can tell you that's pretty rare!

Back to the HIV - you can be sure that this was based on the TV's testimony and not on a HIV test done on arresting him - because that would be against his rights and also HIV tests take a while to come back. As to why someone would falsely claim to be HIV.....well the judge released them both!!

Good tactic and good lawyer.


And before anyone gets on their high horse, this in no way dimishes the risk or seriousness of contacting HIV. But I will post about that later. As to this story, I do think we should read between the lines.

Back to the HIV issue. There is a saying, " If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!"

We are all promiscous and at risk of picking up STD's. Medically, promiscuity is defined as one having more than 7 sexual partners in lifetime. So apart from Banjaxed, we are all f*cked .

Using condoms greatly reduces the risk of getting HIV and other STD's but it doesn't remove the risk. Incidentally HIV is not the most transmissable STD. Hepatitis B is far more transmissable. HIV and Hep B are the two fatal STDs. However, the prognosis for both has improved remarkably with newer treatments, and case fatalities has likewise reduced.

There of course is a vaccine against Hep B, so if you are still reading this and haven't got your vaccine - you really need to get your head checked. Or more pratically get you ass down to your GP and get the vaccine. It's series of two or three jabs over a 6 month period, depending on your immune response, as far as I recall. I had my jab years ago and on recent testing immunity is still good.

I was pretty much celibate (not by choice!) in the few years before I started seeing escorts. So when I finally started seeing escorts I had to face up to the possibility of getting any of the STD's including HIV. This isn't because escorts are harbingers of disease (which as we've heard from Doctor Friedman, that it's quite the opposite) , but because it's simple math that the more partners you have in life the more likely you are to pick stuff up. I made a risk benefit assement for myself and I take the necessary precautions but am fully aware that nothing is fool proof. But this is my decision - and it would be foolish for anyone to be participating in this industry with their head buried in the sand.

As regards testing - 3 monthly is the standard recommended time provided you don't have symptoms. If you have any symptoms - knob rot etc.... then obviously pop over to your GP and get tested. The standard STD testing includes blood tests for HIV/Hep B and Syphilis; and urine testing for Clamydiae and Gonnorhea. If you perform fellatio then it may be wise to also get a throat swab for clamydiae and gonnorhea. If you have a penile discharge than you will need a urethral swab (nurse sticking a cotton bud up your cock..ouch!!!!!).
