So what's new?

All men pay for sex in one form or another.
Whether , married , in a relationship , or single and on the pull
These activists are just worried that the power over a mans ability to have
sex is taken out of their hands.
Granted we all know there are a lot of agencies and girls brought into the country
to work as Escorts.
It remains to be proven how many don't do this freely to enable themselves to set themselves upon
a foreign country that offers them a better life than they would have had at home.
There have been very few if any cases proved of forced prostitution.
The industry should be regulated and SW provided with services and backup in return for registering
and paying taxes.
Men have paid for sex for thousands of years and will continue to do so.
Ways around the new laws will be found.
Escorts will get Certs in Massage and offer legitimate services , or we will go back to tug and pull massage parlours
Either way prostitution will not be stopped.
Brainier and more astute men than the corrupt clowns who run our country have tried and failed to eradicate the industry.

Somehow, that idea never seems to register with others. And yet it's so obviously correct.

All women are sitting on a fortune.
Some use it wisely, some exploit it, some enjoy it , and others treat it as either an affliction
or a favour to be granted

Some women have the looks, attitude and inteligence to work what God gave them, a hell of a lot do not!

It is not at all obviously correct.
The idea that everyone always pays for sex one way or another is a very jaundiced and cynical view of healthy mutual relationships.
It has been my privilege to share my life with a lady to our mutual enjoyment and benefit. Of course there are costs involved, which we both contributed to paying for. But ultimately we both chose to be there, committed to each other because we both wanted to be there, not because one was paying or compensating the other. And of course sex was a natural expression of our commitment and enjoyment of each other.

EIFII: Oh, it is. Not as a direct cash payment, though. More like a new washing machine, jewellery etc. A dinner out, it's all indirectly a payment.

(And if you are in a committed relationship, with each paying their way, what are you dong here?)

Empirical: no, the examples you give are either of mutual benefit, or are a gift given as a sincere token of your affection and love for the recipient. Or do you buy new clothes instead of washing them. In a positive and healthy relationship, I do not believe your examples constitute a payment for sex.

(And if you feel it is your right to ask extremely personal and potentially judgemental questions on a public forum, I will simply state that it is my right not to answer, and not to be judged. Remembering that judging me says more about you than it does about me. However what I will say here is that life is not black and white, a binary choice between moral absolutes. If you genuinely want to know more, pm me.)
