should escorts upping rates because of new law be avoided

[FargoBoyle]

Scaremongering, pathetic attempts to secure lower rates (maybe unionise punters?), various 'you don't know how good you have it' type stuff... yes, mostly scutter

Dont agree its scaremongering at all, some good tips and advice from all and I found it very interesting

[meatloaf2]

I strongly believe we should have a Union for the Guys on here

[meatloaf2]

Well, according to lots of folks here, Justice will be coming real soon!!!! ������������

Surely that kind of rough justice you speak about would never happen

[Petros]

20 pages of probable scutter I ain't reading. Anyone want to give a short synopsis

Well Zilch me auld mate, I cant be arsed going through it all again but basically, mearse said girls were charging €30 - €50 which I thought was crazy

As new law is now in and clients are now taking huge risk, some escorts are taking advantage and charging 30 -50 euro which i find bit insulting tbh ,

As this thread progressed I began to realise the following.....

But as this thread progressed the OP decided to inform me that he was French and understood more than I did! Apparently, I wasn't using telepathy at the time and didn't realise that despite there being no reference anywhere in the post indicating a rise in prices or that prices had gone up — I should have known that this was what the OP was thinking. He just didn't include that vital piece of information in his post. It's a shame really as it would have put a totally different spin on the post and both you and I wouldn't have taken him at his word and thought some ladies were actually charging only €30 - €50.

The lady in question who was the only evidence of a price increase was the one and only SophieX.

I hope that helps a bit

Yes on principle for one, As new law is now in and clients are now taking huge risk, some escorts are taking advantage and charging 30 -50 euro which i find bit insulting tbh , not only do you want us to take a risk but you are now charging us for it as well, double insult, well good luck with that but you wont be seeing me as rather travel than have someone taking the piss out of our situation

If you can't pay stay away. The market is diverse enough that surely someone out there meets your skinflint ways, no need to make a broo haha over it. Tight arse.

Well with Rachel retiring she's missing out on her pimping commission so she has to make up the short fall somewhere

Oh! I can see a for you on the way LOL

it not the money, its the principle of taking advantage of clients who are already unsure. I like the escorts on here specially the Irish escorts.
I'm going home in August

Actually the new law has still not been put into affect. It has been passed by politicians and signed by the president. The final stage is the commencement order (start date for sexual offenses bill 2017). it is the minister for justice who decides commencement date. Looking up the statutory commencement order

http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/isbc/2017_2.html

Link to bill it has not yet commenced. So everyone can ride away for now the guards or authorities wont organize any clampdown until statutory commandment order begins. The purpose of criminalizing purchase of sexual services in part 4 of the bill is an attempt to 1) reduce demand for escorts 2) allow the state to raise revenue by handing out fixed fines (a few hundred euro) similar to parking or other road fines etc.

As has been said stick to regular escorts you have seen multiple times in the past where both parties know each other already and use common sense. Escorts raising rates a bit is likely a result of maybe some reduced demand (guys spooked over new law, paranoia). Reduced amount of reliable guys who actually turn up, give escort a good experience. Escorts are not really raising their rates and any who have there is usually a logical reason. Maybe her costs has gone up, example accommodation, transport costs (car insurance, petrol for driving long distances). If you are not happy with the price increase just dont book. Guys are not being forced to pay excessive rates you have a choice.

In normal market situations reduced demand should certainly not increase prices. On the other hand people saying that guys "have a choice" (to visit an alterative lady) do not necessarily get the whole picture either. Not everyone has the capacity to travel to anywhere to meet a different lady. A lot depends on their circumstances and routine. It's not like you have a whole lot of shops side by side with perfect competition. There is also the reality that for many men it is not an entirely rational choice to punt, and that they will continue to do so if they cannot really afford it. Like I said a price increase when men become the ones taking the legal risk is illogical but there are many variables in the situation!

Getting away from price altogether, there is another possibility in the new environment when it kicks in and that is that it will have no effect whatsoever on demand. Certainly in my own circumstances I never knowingly went out taking a risk of being caught when punting. Yes, I did, back in the day, go into massage parlours on the side of the street but always felt, curiously, that their very visibility created a certain assurance and they Gardaí had plenty of opportunity to raid them already. Obviously in nearly all those cases they were done eventually but if I even felt a real chance of being caught in one of them I'd not have gone in. In fact to some extent I would say men who dabble in punting are at some level risk-takers anyway. Jumpy risk-averse types probably would see huge danger in the whole situation.


Nowadays I would say that most men going to apartments to meet ladies feel perfectly secure and feel that the chances of the Gardaí barging in are pretty much zero given that they will have gone through a few 'checks' themselves before being allowed in. That feeling won't change and I imagine the Gardaí are better deployed elsewhere than trying to catch a few punters before going through the rigmarole of trying to build evidence for a prosecution. If you accept what I am saying, will the new law when it comes in really affect anything?

It's funny how if someone saw a suit for €300 in one shop and the precise same suit on sale in another for €250 it would be considered perfectly sensible to buy the one at the lower price. But when the same logic is applied to escorts a person becomes a "skinflint" and a "tight arse"? Unfortunately, not everyone lives in a world of unlimited resources, or a situation where there are no competing drains on their wallet, and many have to make such choices. But then again, I'm sure you know that from renting apartments, hotel rooms etc. Presumably you do not automatically go for the highest price?

because most escorts on here have their heads so far up their own asses they have lost grip on reality, its the same escorts that go out and spend hours searching for items at for the best price, the hypocrisy on here is just sicking
