New Bill

[warmcome]

maybe the government are trying to protect the general public? they don't
criminalize things willy nilly? look at cAnNaBiS, can a comparison be drawn?

Unless your into shagging in your wagon outdoors, there is nothing that can be proven regarding sexual relations.

The don't have to police it much all they need is a few arrests,naming and shaming in the papers and it will put the fear of God into a lot of men....it's going to be daunting leaving appointments when the law it come in,and anyone thinking otherwise is just kidding themselves.

Take a look at the Sweden site, its been decimated, no worse its been totally fuked, they used to have max no on line in the 400s but now, barely a presence. I think the same will happen here, business will drop off, escorts will leave and a downward spiral will occur. The thought of being "exposed" will be what will do the damage, unless the site operators manipulate things to make the advertising and meeting firewalled from the law and gutter journos.

Some Escorts seem to be looking forward to the implementation of this Bill as they can increase their rates but it will not only affect clients but ALL escorts too, we're all in the same boat..
It has been introduced in other countries and escorts have increased their rates but remember Ireland is not like other European counties and tend in most cases to accept what is law. Big changes ahead I strongly believe.

When I visited my first escort here I never knew it was legal. I thought I was breaking the law! I was nervous leaving, and to make things worse, I was stopped by a car asking for directions to the same place. Random or not so random?

I see in sweden today there is only 68 escorts versus 400 plus before law change,that is about 15%,so if we have in Ireland about 800 on avarage we will eventually have 120 escorts working on average in a year or so,not a great amount to police,like shooting salmon in a barrel making does arrests for the gardai.

First of all: PSNI will be far too busy with marching season indeed. If not, I'll put some flag somewhere and it will go on again for months LOL

But seriously: A lot is really up to the girl. I am sick of punters, they do not follow instructions, as if they don't realize, most of it is to protect them as well, at least in my case. Some of them are really stupidly full of themselves and 'know better'. They simply ask to be exposed. The same per these they ask surprised: 'So you are not in ... ??? (here comes one of the most known addresses in Blfs)'. No, you moron, I am not, and you should be grateful for that. I can let you in one way and let you out different way from where I am.

As per donation: it would be much simpler as well, if you brought envelope and never talk about it. Some are coming in, and before I close the door properly behind them and led them to the room, they are like: So? how much is it again? FFS! Common sense! please.

The only benefit I can see from it is maybe my safety. They gonna think twice before doing anything stupid. But on the other hand, in reality that would be my end in here too.

The Swedish government estimates that in the last few years only 200 to 400 women and girls have been annually sex trafficked into Sweden, a figure that's negligible compared to the 15,000 to 17,000 females yearly sex trafficked into neighboring Finland.

Brother lives beside PSNI officer and they don't have that much to do, its seems not be that difficult to police, just wait and see, there will be very few escorts remaining once June comes and they will be out to make a few examples to show it was worthwhile and working.
Why the envelope- be much simpler now for the client with cash in the pocket rather than carrying about a suspicious envelope with cash in it.

And don't be coming down too hard on the clients, they will be the ones criminalised if its goes tits up, they will be making the journey to see the Escort, those that are left.
