You could try hypnotherapy. It helps a lot of people with habits and addictions that they can't control.

[Nationwide]

I am constantly surprised how good young escorts are at sex,most of them seem to really enjoy the sex even if it is there job,20 years old girls in my day didn't fuck like they do nowaday.

[QUOTE=CurvaceousKate;1507780]They put the cost of cigarettes up and alcohol, due to trying to influence people to stop, but it hasn't worked. If you are truly addicted, it won't stop you, but you may pause for a while, until the itch becomes too strong again. You may learn to play a little safer, take fewer risks, but it won't stop you.

The main problem with the law, is not that it may make some people think twice or hold back on their hobby, but all the reasons why it is being brought in. It's based on lies and deception and will make things very difficult for those that are stuck in Sex Work against their will or decide that they want out, but are perhaps being coerced into continuing. This is the reason why I appose it, regardless of the possibility of putting my rates up or getting more work. It's the principle and the consequences of a bad law, that can only result in bad situations being created for those that really do need help.[/QUOTE]

I wish people could leave aside the actual subject of prostitution and see these points clearly. The proposed law is regressive and dangerous, and as you say Kate, based on lies. It will endanger independent sex workers and it won't help protect victims of trafficking any more than existing laws. But as long as it satisfies the moral crusaders and narrow-minded idiots then none of that matters.

Well I'm focusing more on fitness at the minute and spending money on that. Not seen an escort for a few months, before Christmas. The law might save some lads money but I'll still do it.

[Meursault]

That is a very post James, the thing is we have probably got even closer in recent 5 months although I have tried to see escorts but not as many as before.My will power I must admit is not the best, never was. I love and respect the escorts and mostly have a great time which makes it even harder to give up especially when there's a hot lady in your area. I never said I will manage to quit, I just don't know how it will go but would love it give it my best shot for once.
I got friends that never visited escorts but as they say what you never had, you never missed.
Only time will tell for me

Absolutely nothing about this proposed law makes any sense in the real world.

It's based on a false definition of trafficking, dodgy statistics, deliberate silencing of current sex workers and a campaign of lies from well funded NGOs.

It pretends to help the victims of human trafficking, yet in the North last year, there wasn't a single case. It's supposed to help sex workers, yet 98% of those surveyed last year didn't want it.

In Sweden there is zero evidence that it has had any effect on demand or coercive trafficking, in Norway the police haven't enforced it in months due to lack of resources needed for real crime and in Canada it's being challenged and isn't being enforced. Over a century of criminalisation of buyers & sellers in the USA has resulted in a trade worth an estimated $14 billion a year.

Basically this law is about sending a message that ''some people don't like the idea of sex work.'' Nothing more or less.

To address the OP, it isn't up to the govt to stop consenting adults buying and selling sexual services, any more that it's up to them to ban crisps or beer (which do a hell of a lot more damage). It's up to individuals to take responsibility for their own actions.

but then again not all countries, governments, people are the same, we don't even know what is really going to happen yet or how its going be be policed, do we?

We do know that there will be fines of up to £500 for a first offense and up to £1000 for a second. With that there will likely be identification taken and possible naming and shaming. How they police it? How would you police it if you were looking to make an example of someone?

You know... it'd be nice to surgically burn that line into the eye lids of a lot of people.

Too many assume others should take responsibility for their actions. Not to mention too many politicians like to over-step their boundaries.
