I don't think I can go on national radio, I'm too shy
But I did just email Sean.
Besides my auntie would f*cking kill me if I went on national radio, she's already annoyed enough about me being all over the Internet!

That is very good of you, but I don't know if I'm good enough to be on radio! ;-) I'll email you x

not even a phone interview ?
Don't under any circumstances get involved with the media. The last two times journalists came onto the boards doing some research, their articles were the usual reactionary shit about human trafficking and the perverts who pay for sex. They're all cunts.
But they did not offer a right of reply as Newstalk have just done.
Your calling them 'cunts' could be deemed to be somewhat reactionary.
The subject itself is an interesting one and I dont think that there is any great harm in a debate.
Prostitution is legal and regulated in the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, some Australian states, New Zealand and some rural counties in the US state of Nevada.
These are examples of first world nations, not dodgy states with scant regard for their citizens welfare.
On the other hand there are a greater number where it is illegal or legal yet unregulated. Its not an open and shut case either way.
Alec, the public, and thus the media, already have their minds made up about escorts and punters. A debate would be a complete waste of everybody's time - Ireland will not, nor is it even close to thinking about, legalising prostitution in the near-to-mid future, so the debate would be pointless. It would only serve as yet another excuse for busy-bodied people or commentators to dredge up the usual shit about trafficking, funding crime, drugs etc etc.
Yes but over 90% of countries dont encourage it and theres reasons for that.. Many parts of Holland, Belgium and germany are extremely dodgy and prostitution is implicated with this. Amsterdam for example is going to wind up its coffee shops and red light districts.. its going to 10 years or so.. the dutch government has noted that its used for money laundering, many of the shop girls are still run by pimps and drugs is involved too so regulation can be loosely enforced.. Its not entirly possible to regulate the sex industry but granted it may be safer for everybody involved if it was but its hard to know.. Would take alot of resources and staff to regulate this in ireland.. and anyhow spain, italy, portugal, france etc. dont encourage or "regulate" it so theres no chance that ireland will, in the next 100 years anyway..
Don't do it. There's bigger problems out there that need dealing with on national radio.
