This may sound over simplistic and naiive, but I remember back in the late 1970s it was illegal to buy or sell condoms. There was a House in Merrion Square we went to for our protectives. You rang the bell and an anxious looking woman came to the door. "Is it condoms you're after?" she enquired, scanning up and down the street like we were just about to engage in a drug deal. I replied that I was. "Now young man, you know it's both illegal for me to sell and for you to buy these condoms," she explained, furtively continuing to look up and down the street. I said I knew that. Then she glanced up and down the street once more, invited me in and closed the door.

"So, young man, if you give me a "donation" to the value of the condoms, I can "give" you a packet and we won't be breaking any laws," she smiled anxiously. ...And that's how I used to get my noddy-bags.

...So could we conceivably make donations (other than semen/spittle fluid transmissions,) to escorts?
