What will you do when paying for sex becomes a crime?

Thanks for sharing your opinions. I'm interested in reading through the comments too.

You'll always get plenty of opinions here Andy.
Keep writing and try to scrape away the bullshit moralising..

Just posting to bump this poll up again. I'd like to use the results in a story, but need more respondents for it to feel credible.

Just a reminder to those 16 deluded fools that said they would stop paying for sex.
There is no such thing as free sex.
If you are married you pay for it one way or another
If you are in a relationship you pay for it one way or another
If you go out chasing it's not free either as you pay for drinks meals taxis etc
As least with the ladies here you know what you are getting , know what you are paying
and it's a once off payment.

A poll showed that a lot of guys already thought it was already illegal.
So it wasn't deterring them.

There has been, and still are, a lot of "bedroom crimes" that are on the books just to satisfy the religious bigots, which are unenforceable and are largely ignored by law enforcement.

I see no difference. It wouldn't stop me. I wouldn't want to be caught anyhow whether it was legal. You don't want people you know to find out. I'm always extra careful.

Well said.

I'll simply take more precautions when meeting an escort. By all accounts, the law will be difficult to enforce so (unless you/the escort are making it obvious to a blind man) it should be business as normal, but I'd need to read up on my rights etc if the police stop me outside an apartment block.

Some years ago I was working for an electricity sub-contractor.
It had been a particularly stormy time, with a lot of power outages, and we all had been working long hours.
It was a case of work 16 or longer hours and then rest for as short a time as possible, then go back to work.
If you were close to home, you went home. If not, you slept at the office, depot, or wherever you could.
One morning, a group of us came back from working all evening and all night, and were at one of the offices. We were there to return some equipment, complete some paperwork, and either go home or somewhere else to sleep.
It was about eleven o’clock. There was a canteen and we went to get a cup of coffee before we left. At this time some of the office staff were in the canteen. The place was busy. Three of us sat at a table with two of the senior office staff. A senior engineer, guy with about a year to go to retirement, was with us.
Another of us asked him if he wanted a lift to a place where he could get some rest and a sleep.
He politely declined, remarking that he had been sleeping there all week, and he wished to go home to his family. He said that he had a bit of administration to do at home.
When this guy got up and left, one of the senior mangers at the table said to the other, [with his voice heavy with disgust] “He is not going home to do any administration. He is going home to fornicate with his wife. And at his age.”

That little episode, I think, just about sums up the attitude of some people in Ireland towards sex. It is not about paying for sex. It is about SEX. No matter how you do it, even within a marriage, there as those who have a problem with it. It’s their problem, which they wish to impose on the rest of us.

Lord Morrow’s Bill, is Irish prejudice and narrow-mindedness, materialised, codified, and set down in law.
