This new law -------- I will welcome it in a way

[Chez]

Seriously? So no effect on our lives at all? The fact that we are going to be in more danger? The fact that we could find ourselves kicked out of our homes, even if we don't work from the property? The fact that once one of our clients has been fined we will be linked to them and likely be avoided or worse still named? Sex Workers sharing will still be working illegally, so pressure is added to them. Street work will still be illegal etc.

We could also be asked to give evidence against our clients in court if they refuse to pay the fine. It will be almost impossible to have any privacy and it is possible that Joe Bloggs is encouraged to report us, which will make working impossible without putting our clients at risk.

I may be English, but I don't want to work there. My family are there and I couldn't cope with the lies and the deceit or the worry that someone may 'out' me, as I don't think my Mum could cope and I certainly wouldn't want her subjected to the stigma attached with association. Ireland suits me, as It's like being home with less of the worry. I'm not sure there is any other Country I would want to work in, plus it may interfere with my studies, which I've got a couple of years left to go with, so I'd rather continue with getting my qualification if that is all the same with you?

Lastly, I may be okay and I personally maybe able to ride the storm, as my situation allows it, but others are not in the same situation and sometimes you have to look beyond yourself and how things change your own life.

It must be nearly impossible to study and work at the same time, I'm studying and its tough so to be able to do this later in life takes a good lot of effort and dedication.

Its passed in Northern Ireland which means it is full steam ahead for the justice minister to go ahead with it here, it will be in here too, just a matter of when

nah.......

I guarantee nothing good will come from this law for decent people! And above all, sex workers will suffer the most! But of course the groups supporting the insanity know this very well and some of them are so perverse, they will particularly enjoy that aspect of it! That's the level of pure unadulterated evil, We are dealing with!

[The Libertarian]

Given the attitude of Irish women of my generation to sexual matters, many of them would be greatly relieved to
have somebody else take are of their partner's sexual needs so they don't have to! That's how mental a lot of them are or perhaps more accurately damaged or more accurately again that's how damaged they freely allowed themselves to be conditioned to be!

Ruined his marriage
Now youre gonna burn the house too

Or make him take responsibility for his own actions? Too many people lay the blame on anyone else but themselves.

Let's face it. There are plenty of people in marriages trawling sites like POF (dating sites) and forums looking for an affair, knowing full well they are not in a position to date, but they do it because they can. There are plenty of people going out on the drink and having a one night stand who are in a relationship and again they do it because they can and want to. It's only when they are caught out that they regret what they have done and it's much easier to blame the other person than stand up and be counted.

If you don't like the smoke, don't light the fire.

Escorts are usually better traind than wives, so they have the knowledge, an experience,and these ads, and ads on tv for people who want to flirt.
Just text.they say on tv, an thats the slippery road to destroying fateful mariages

The fact that someone in a marriage is tempted to use one of those flirt sites and calls is the key statement. If you feel that way then you are already dealing with discontent, or it would not be attractive to you. Armed with that information you should work out how to communicate that discontent to your partner and put it right. If you choose to pick up the phone instead, then you are not prepared to deal with your situation and you made the wrong choice, but it was your choice to make and no one else made it for you.

Tell me about it. One year down and 2 to go, but I'm getting there. I'm also attempting an online diploma in a totally different subject, but have to admit that I've not done any studies for some time and need to get myself back into a routine, or I'll never get it done.

I love learning so it is worth while, as apart from opening doors for the future it also keeps me balanced and keeps my mind active, which makes me happy.

[BIGBAGDOM]

It very hard to stop what you enjoy it and I have slowed down in the last 6 months but never stopped visiting escorts. I know if I was found out I would be out on my ear and my marriage over. I will slow down even more when this new law starts in June in June in NI, maybe not even visit there atall and go across the pond as the further you are away from people that know you or of you when punting the better.

Can't really sympathise with you bud as you already have a girlfriend. Think about us poor single bastards for a second! It's going to be a bitter pill to swallow going from meeting up with beautiful models for amazing sex to chasing Plain Jane & Co. around Coppers and probably still not getting any at the end of the night

We can really only blame ourselves for this. Traditionally, men didnt look after themselves and therefore the girls could get away with not bothering. There should be a new law brought in , giving all Irish women a year ( reasonable enough ) to get themselves in top class condition and learn some class and deportment and those who fail the test should then be shipped out to Tory Island or somewhere until they get their act together. Also girls should not be allowed to drink pints.

We use to go over to Manchester, Birmingham and Newcastle to clubs and had the ladies eating out of our hands, definitely guaranteed a ride by the end of the night, they loved the accent and the prime Irish beef tasted good too they say.
I wish I was in my early 20's again as the craic was mighty but we can't turn back the clock
