Escort as a career choice.

[Kaz]

There is a difference between "it's easy money" and what it actually is, "it's good money". No one can say it is not a lucrative profession taking into account good and bad days but you can not say it is an easy profession. Not sure if it's an Irish thing but we begrudge people who earn more or do more than us. Say the escort earns €500 in the day and she got that from seeing 2 clients in two 1 hour bookings but is advertising for 10 hours work which means she is technically working as she is by the phone answering clients, time wasters, free wankers, dickheads and can't leave apartment so you could say she only earned €50 an hour.
Would you begrudge the consultant who gives your 15 mins of his time for €150. Do you dismiss the many years in college, in hospitals as a junior doctor and that he may have solved your ailment.
My advice is not to book escorts if you think they earn too much as I don't see how you could enjoy your appointment if you thought the money was too much to pay.

What are you on about? No one on this thread has said they earn too much.

Except an Amazon warehouse worker is walking miles every day, under pressure to get to the items in time or they face points against them. I'd rather be an escort having sex than do that.

Well sur fire away, onto your back with ya, an save the feet see how you get on, there lots of room for male escorts on ei advertising boards.

I'm not a woman or gay. Odd reply.

Odd reply yourself. Escorting isn't exclusive to just women. But you're trolling, so I won't waste my energy on you.

I did say gay. Read what is posted. Trolling, the modern attempt to shut down debate.

I don't mix business with pleasure so 100pc of them. I have been asked many times to meet clients for what i call freebies but have declined every time.

In my job im not "obliged" to do anything I don't like to do.

Not one of them? I don't mean freebies, is it just that all clients are that ghastly?

What would it be if a client asked me to meet for a drink and wasnt going to pay me?
And on the contrary alot my my clients are hot and very fuckable,, i have the advantage of being in the mature milf catagory which attracts the younger guys and it still surprises me how handsom most of them are. But i still would not meet them outside my work unless on a social rate.

And not all escorts want to shag half the blokes they do, so it's not really easy money. You are a classic example of the crap they have to put up with.

By implying that "it's easy money" then that gives me the impression that you think that it's too much money for what they do, if that is not the case then I apologise. Now that's out of the way did the rest of my post make any sense to you or do you disagree with the difference between "easy" and "good".

Even at this stage to voice dissent to criminalising clients they would do themselves no favours.
This law is to me a fait accompli.
Not fatalism just reality.
Like it or not in a democracy politicians are always looking to the next election and to get re-elected and are usually likely to be swayed inmatters such as this by public opinion and the way the wind is blowing.
If a politician vigorously questioned /opposed our impending law,significant segments of the population would likely call him/her anti-woman
Whatever the rights or wrongs of the argument.

In fairness, some politicians (mainly in the North) have been brave enough to fight against client criminalisation, most notably David Ford, NI justice minister. He also had the backing of his party (Alliance) and commissioned the QUB report into local sex work, which despite being predictably ignored by the reality-dodgers in Stormont, gave easily the truest picture of the industry here.

Also worth mentioning are Alan Shatter who talked a lot of sense before unfortunately exiting Justice, as well as several Dail independents, plus Steven Agnew of The NI Greens and Basil McCrea & John McAllister of NI21. The UUP did make a typically half hearted attempt at resistance before caving in at the final vote and there's still a question mark over SFs behaviour on clause 6. None of them could have prevented this going through though, as once the clueless SDLP sided with the DUP on the issue, only 3 more votes were needed to get it through.

On balance, the Dail parties are proving particularly spineless, self serving and gullible, but I doubt anyone finds this surprising.

Rather that than walking around a warehouse for miles every day for the minimum wage. And I'm really not, I don't insult them when I see them or waste time.
