Availability to correct paradigm of sex work can revolutionize the culture of Ireland

But it's important that the model in place, is without corruption.

Thus under scrutiny, it can't rattle.

Unfortunately at present - this is not entirely the case.

So to bring the issue under re-examination by law makers and ameliorate its current position, I feel this is something important be addressed.

**

The almost exclusive legitimate facility in Ireland currently for attaining sexual services - is the online and out of state based site - Escort Ireland.

Now, first it's important to recognize that, escorting is currently illegal in Ireland.

Not allowed by law.

Currently deemed socially unacceptable.

They'll slap you in cuffs, take you to the station - hell they might even put your name in the paper (especially if you're socially weak/isolated/vulnerable - like the pensioner whom the justice system publically named and shamed earlier this year).

My issue with the sex work paradigm currently in effect, is not the constantly rehashed argument as to its legal status, no. For the moment, that I understand.
My real issue is, the intrinsic structure the monopolistic website promotes;

It endorses fraudulence.

How does it do this?

It's revenue is based on the purchase of webspace via sex workers.
Each profile takes X amount of revenue.

To increase its profit margin, it encourages workers to take out more than one profile.
Whether that were to advertise two different services, such as an escort service, in tandem with a massage service.
Or simply to promote multiple profiles using a series of plagiarized images of.... instagram models, pornographic actresses, their friends?
Whomever.

It endorses, encourages, and facilitates this fraudulence, deceptively using a "verified photo" system as a means to fabricate an image of integrity (this system is of course bogus and ineffective, nor is it enforced. It's basically like a scam on top of the scam).


Now - I get it - society at large, in particular housewives, they don't like prostitution.

It's like saying, "nobody likes promiscuous women" or, "nobody likes a slut".
When we all know the reality is - most of us like one from time to time.

My point is - fraudulence and deceptive practice would be scandalized and exposed in any other large scale business model.

My understanding is, this website has an annual turnover - in the millions.

MILLIONS.

Hundreds of thousands of euro (that's 6 figures) - every single week.

Irish revenue does not benefit from it's existence but, that's their own fault as the justice system (or more specifically, the personalities in the justice system) refuse to accept it is as a form of legitimate business.

Further to the justice systems position relative to the practice of sex-for-money, the monopolistic promoters willingness to engage in fraudulence - I mean, obviously is in and of itself effectively the definition of criminality and a scam - but additionally it facilitates pimping, gang operation, coercion - as it obstructs the practice of genuine independent workers and, in some cases, can be used as a means of extortion against vulnerable clientele.


TD Catherine Byrne (minister of health promotion), in addition to TD Charlie Flanagan (minister for justice), in addition to TD Simon Harris (minister for health) - their tag-line is,

"We are a promoting a safer, healthier, more inclusive environment for all".

If there was a restaurant chain, or a drug store, or any lucrative outlet, that was undercutting its customers and squeezing their suppliers in the name of higher profit margins - would that be okay?

So, in a business that eclipses the vast majority of medium to large sized Irish companies in terms of annual financial turnover - can someone help me understand - why is that okay?

You may question how this bears relevance to a culture?

And what I can outline is - a culture is underpinned by the emotional process it advocates and normalizes within it.

We've seen the results of oppression in Ireland in decades gone by.

In the simplest of terms, we can additionally see the quality of life and standard of living in countries such as the Netherlands.
This is given rise to by those that built the country - predicated on their culture, which is fundamentally underpinned by its emotional structure.

Ireland is a nice place - but can improve in many ways.

And ameliorating our attitude to sex from beyond the stone age - can and will have many wide sweeping implications.

I felt in AH, that didn't receive sufficient critical feedback.

Plus I didn't stress there the cultural implications.

It's late. I'm not gonna go on about it cos I'm tired. So I'll wrap it up nice and neat, with a pretty bow on top:

There are those that fully consent to engage in sex work (though much of society does not agree with calling it sex work), and of course there is the human trafficking side of it. Opposite sides of a similar coin if you like.

The law was spearheaded by a group founded by the very same people behind the Magdalene Laundries.

At the end of the day, what business is it of anyone when two consenting adults are having sex behind closed doors just because there's money involved?

If someone's forced against their will into it, find those responsible and throw them into a deep dark pit where they can rot away for the rest of their lives and never again see the light of day, treat them like the animals they are.

Heavy handed tactics rarely, IF EVER, work. Far better to legalise and regulate it. At the end of the day, the most important thing is the health, safety and wellbeing of those that are choosing to be sex workers and those that are forced against their will, and of course rescuing and rehabilitating the latter.

Since the law's introduction, violence towards sex workers has seen a massive increase. There has only been a mere handful of convictions against buyers.

QED: the law is nothing but a disgraceful failure, championed by pure bigots whose only objective is to keep their own funding stream going, and directing it straight into their own pockets.

Culture? Culture is nothing but a bad joke, because people are just sheep. Jump on any old bandwagon just to stay with the status quo, and condemn anyone that dares speak out against them. Pathetic.

Ireland has gone FAR FAR LEFT, but sex is still so taboo, it's kinda funny.

The act of having sex with someone that doesn't want you always seemed so hollow and empty to me.

But I guess everyone is different
