The Swedish Model Versus The UK Model

[Lucy Chambers]

Well my honest opinion is that alot of guys wont even have the knowledge or skills to do the research needed and the ones
that are scared will just not go to see ladies. U have an awful lot of clients going to see girls because the advent of the internet
in reality it made it seem a much less seedy pastime than going to a brothel or picking up streetgirls. There was an explosion
in the past few years in this type of client who might not otherwise see girls. U will always have a hardcore of clients will see
girls no matter what, but i think alot of the softer clients will stop when they weigh up the risks and decide its just not worth it

I agree entirely Ber. Hence I think we need a Union, to push the case for going with the much cheaper option, the UK Model. After following the links that Bruno69 and other provided I am convinced that some form of Bill will be going through, but it could just as easily be the UK model with a little help

In terms of the soft clients, you have this now. Guys who will punt two three time and never do it again. The hard core ones will always and have always found a way to get what they wanted. The only difference will be less girls to choose from, more true independents, more elaborate security measures and higher prices. Because we will be seeing less clients, so we will need to make up the difference by charging more. Also, alternative services will also increase. Massage services will be come ALOT more popular. Every girl will have a massage table and a uniform to match.

I think the up side of this for ladies could be that they would get a much greater amount of regular clients because when a guy
will set up contact methods and meeting arrangments that he is comfortable with he will be less likely to risk detection by playing
the field as much as he might at the moment

Exactly! Established ladies will have the advantage in this, ok she may move about, but he knows it isn't likely to be a sting situation, because he has seen the lady in question. She will be secure in that she has a group of regs that will be coming back time and time again.

I'm for the Swedish model-it's about time clients suffered some of the hassles that escorts have to go thru, maybe they'll think twice about being 'timewasters', bullies, and being disrespectful to escorts, maybe it's time they shared some of the risks that went along with this business-as they say ''All dogs get their day''

I think it would be great if girls formed a union. I have always wanted this.

What's the point of escorts forming a union in a Third World country whose debts equal to 10 trillon dollars? You've got to read the March issue of 'Vanity Fair's' article on the Irish debt crisis to understand my question.

Because when there's a crisis, it's the people who aren't organised who get the shaft.

That VF article makes for yet more sobering reading:

Being pragmatic, the best course is IMHO to try to shape whatever legislation is coming- to do that one has to be factual & challenge the BS that currently passes for "informed debate"in the media.

Two observations... As I sit here in a S-club in the next state over from where I reside here in the US...regardless of what the legal environment is-the game will always find a way to flourish... What's equally important is what is de facto tolerated!

Regarding the tax topic- call me crazy but I'm reminded of what happened With salmon fishing licenses way back when in IRL..all the people who were 'poaching' were invited to apply for permits & come in from the cold of the black economy.. Some did but for Obvious reasons most choose to continue as they had.. Right up until the government imPlemented wildly draconian measures for fishing without a permit including huge fines & in some cases prison sentences.. Know I'm not comparing aPples to same but rest assured somewhere in Dublin there are wonks mulling this topic ....!!!

Why bother to work in Irelanf,lets be honest, the only people who really stand to benefit from escorts unionizing is the owner of this web site
