No Change possible despite all the wind been blown about Sex Work in the 5 countries involved

It will be a change but not as the anti sex workers organisations wish for. Me thinks...

Well it worked with drugs....

Its not like I could get most drugs to my door within the hour, since the banned them no way that could happen

[Johnny Simpleton]

indeed. i was in Stockholm and realized that this law didnt stopped guys to visit girls. in fact there i had more outcalls requests but and incalls was enough. people are more careful about the girl and location but still coming. and one swedish client told me that and after law was in place actually price increased . an hr is around 250 -300 euros as i remember

clients have become more careful that why the increase in outcalls.
Prices would increase but clients actually visiting the escorts would i thought would probably fall ...right ?
Alot of clients i thought wouldn't take the risk..

[Rachel Divine]

At the moment clients take the risk of visiting an escort who doesn't have verified pictures and/or review system active.

Might be the girl in the pictures, might be not, others might had good experiences or not, no reviews, can't tell .... (under the Swedish model law) might get caught or not.

Maybe I am wrong ..

[Johnny Simpleton]

Yes but if this new law is introduced its the clients that will be targeted and punished I believe....

It would make it very difficult for some guys to visit who had a lot to lose if caught.

The law is an arse anyway and just making things worse for everyone.

[annabel taylor]

Alot of my clients think its illegal anyway... prob add to the thrill


Where is police force in this country to police every escort? We do not have endless budgets and resources and priority will take
Alot of Garda see this pointless,
Its a lazy man cure to stop trafficking, chase clients not the traffickers the logic is outstanding,

This will give funding to NGOs who love spouting nonsense a few cases made example of most likely with a very young little English escort and in a few weeks business as usual. With the escort suffering the most

But we can add a few quid for our suffering

It pointless it dangerous its misguided but most of all foolish impractical law

Who to say what is payment? Is a 200e watch with receipt going be seen as payment few drinks?


Jesus Sweden can't even enforce it this is the country where if your racist you will loose your job,

However Sweden efforts to appease everyone is not really working well for them

Escort who are need now may even fall thru the cracks not reach out, avoid clinics
In the states they wont carry condoms avoid arrest...

Maybe I should stop hooking and as they say in Ireland marry well for myself

If the law is changed here witch is only a mater of time,where by the client is prosecuted and fined and maybe named and shamed in the local news paper when it goes to court. I think the business here is going to get very small.The big thing will be the name and shame if it goes that way.

difficulty fitting this foreign model into our Irish Constitution, have to re-write the Constitution. Won't happen.
there are new laws to help protect possible trafficked people in general.

This is true it will challenge all men are equal under the law..

I wonder how insulted victims of rape and sexual violence are reading that consenting women been paid is the same as what they went through, and got no justice or fought hard for it, its all such a huge joke

[warmcome]

we have a shit load of actual social and financial problems. no time for sketchy problems.
