A new forum for the ladies who will leave post new law

[The Libertarian]

you are usually very sensible with your posts but this is nonsense,
for a start escorts dont give two shits about clients or what happens to them. You are mad if you think most will want to see you again, they tell you at the time what they think you want to hear.
Escorts are out for themselves here and who can blame them. Some on here will even welcome the bill becoming law for the simple fact it will clear alot of escorts out and mainly it doesn't criminalise the escorts only the client,yes its the mug client who will be taking all the risks and on top maybe paying extra for it, so you think they give a shit about you then, only thing that worries them is their private space has been invaded. As for the client, fuck them, plenty of more new and regular mug clients about

I think that's a very cynical view!
AFAIK the proposed new law carries with it a possible 6 month prison sentence on a first offence for a sex worker, though it may remove street solicitation as an offence in itself!
I'm sure sex workers are as human as anybody else! A good client is probably worth keeping!
The law apparently will not only not decriminalise sex work in a ny real sense, but actually make life hell on earth for sex workers above all!
Contrary to the laws of supply and demand, I would imagine as is The Swedish experience, that escort prices will go up and there will be more outcalls and most definitely established escorts will leave in great numbers and fairly quickly.

cynical yes but very true i believe, i dont see the first offence being a jail sentence as not logical, you will see first offences being a fine and it will work too.
You can not compare Ireland to Sweden, some here will try to rise prices but can't see it working too well for them but only time will tell, most escorts only stay about a few years here and won't mind too much going other places anyway.Ireland is not that special

Agree that Ireland is not that special and since many escorts are not from these parts they really don't have much of an incentive to leave, What most likely will happen is that the middle market will shrink but either end of the spectrum will survive. It is highly likely that organised crime will become more involved at the lower end like in the past with republicans and loyalists and up market ladies 150 Euro plus will hang out good addresses and/or specialise in out calls.
