Escorts?

fontdor

Hi all. So here is a question. Is prostitution in Ireland illegal? I came across escorts Ireland website but I don't know if it is illegal in Ireland or not so I'm afraid of arranging a meeting.

I read somewhere earlier today that a law was passed which made it illegal to pay for sex so I really wanted to clarify this for myself. Thank you.

300 quid for a 22 year old escort here. And she's yours to keep forever for that. 100% legal and above board. Just remember to keep her well oiled.

I think if nobody is getting hurt an it's consensual and all that, what's the problem. If you're thinking about it, go for the ones that say TS escort. I think it means Terrific Service or something, just let us know how it pans out for you!!:D

How anyone could even contemplate using a prostitute in Ireland I don't know. That escort ireland site is disgusting. The women are rated for their attractiveness and their value for money. All the women on the site are from impoverished Eastern European countries and are obviously pretty desperate for money. If that turns you on then it's pretty pathetic and doesn't bode well for a fulfilling sex life with women in the rest of your life.

Oh panda, you're so silly, thinking about them as people, lol. Dontcha know all women as essentially whores. Illegal whores, legally sanctioned whores that expect attention as part of the bargain, still whores.

Why Ireland specifically? Is there significant differences between how it works here than other countries that you are basing this on?

What is disgusting about that? When people offer a product or service - it is entirely common that users of that product or service rate their experience.

You get it on amazon - you get it in magazines that review gigs - albums - or movies. You get it on things like Yelp - where you have customers rating their experience and value for money with restaurants. Or on booking.com for hotels. There are even sites rating the service offered - and the friendliness and other attributes - of GP doctors.

What is it about sex workers - specifically - you feel should make them exempt from a process just about every other product and service provider has to subject themselves to? Why are you elevating one profession over all others for special privileges?

Well that is a demonstrable falsehood right off the bat. I just went to the site and in less than 5 minutes I had a selection of Irish women I could choose from. Then leaving Irish _and_ Eastern EU out of it I found a selection of french, spanish and german women.

And I just checked a site from other countries too. One German site for example ladies.de matches this. There is a selection of all nationalities there - local and foreign.

Perhaps you left the site in disgust so fast - you forgot to check the truthfullness of the claims you wanted to make about it?

Why not? You seem to think that sex and sexuality is a constant across a persons entire life rather than - as it actually is - highly contextual. Sex is not one thing - but can be different things in different contexts. Sometimes we want a Michelan start 5 course meal - sometimes we want a Mcdonalds. Similarly sometimes we want sex with emotional and romantic deep connections - and sometimes we want lustful animal rutting. And sometimes we seek those disparate things from the _same person_ even.

So what affects one sexuality in one context bodes nothing at all for any other context. And the ability to find sexual satisfaction in an encounter with a sex worker - holds no implications for a persons long term sexual life in another context.

So escorts Ireland is a safe website? Is it ok to use it?

Depends what you mean by "safe" I guess. Amazon and Ebay are seen by many as "safe". But there have been people conned and tricked on them with bad deals and fraudsters and the like. The same with things like Air B+B for example.

So overall it seems to be relatively "safe" - but I would be surprised if there was no horror stories.

Safe as in not set up by cops safe

Tell us how you feel about the male escorts on the site too.

fontdor

I read this article on irishtimes so it means that the law is now in action?

Legislation which criminalises the purchaser of sexual services rather than the seller has been passed in the Dáil by 94 votes to six.

Or it has just been passed but not yet into action?

Perhaps I'm naive but I refuse to believe there are women in Ireland that pay for sex. If there are male escorts on the site I'd imagine they only cater for gay men.

Bit late to be asking about the legalities of all now then.

I was parroting someone else on this thread who said that paying a prostitute was just like paying one's wife/girlfriend, except the latter charged more. Maybe you could address that question to them.

I haven''t even met an escort yet. I was just asking about escorts Ireland website to see if it is legit.

Blitzkrieger

Not sure what you mean by legit. The website is authentic and the escorts are real. Afaik, prostitution is still not illegal in this country, though solicitation (asking for sex for money or offering sex for money) is, as well as running a brothel.. I'm open to being corrected on that. There is/was a campaign to outlaw prostitution and criminalise the punters. You also see Gardai sting operations every now and again with punters being named and shamed in the newspapers. The Gardai are also targeting that site, under the guise of 'benefiting from prostitution'. I think what's saving it for now is it's based off shore (England, iirc).

By legit I meant it's not set up by the cops or anything like in America?

There are male escorts catering exclusively to females in Australia (I know this from an article I read) so I don't see it as impossible. Definitely some lesbians pay for sex with women too.

Yeah I suppose. But I was watching some documentary a while back where cops set up as escorts on websites would lure men in. This was in America by the way.

So I thought what if this site is set up by the cops or something.

Products on Amazon, gigs, hotels and restaurants, a woman's body. One of those things is not like the others, can you really not see the difference?

I've seen some of these "reviews" on another site. They are dehumanising and misogynistic to the extreme

Stigura

OP; Let's put this one to rest:

I've hired several escorts and availed myself of the services they offer.

Now, how about you just send me the €300.00 or so. I'll do all the 'risky' stuff. I'll go the whole mile with the girl. I'll even review and rate her.

Of course, if I get busted? That'll be my problem. But, either way, ye'll have an answer based on experience, not guess work

Deal?

A considerable number of Male/Female couples too. Many seem to offer this service, if you read their ad's :eek: .

Well in the cases of the ones I read, their hatred and disdain towards women was evident in the language and terms they used to describe said women.

Who said I could not see the difference? There are differences between _all 5_ of the things you list above. It is not "one" of these things is not like the others. They are _all_ not like each other.

The question is can you really not see the similarities? They are all products and services being offered to the public - and the public has the right to review and publish their consumer experience on them all.

ceadaoin. wrote: »

I have seen reviews like that of other things too. Some hotel and restaurants I have read for example have talked about the staff of such places as if they are not quite human beings - more akin to brain less slaves. Or some on stage artist being treated like they are not a human but merely a tool being paraded around for our pleasure.

I am not sure that the poor quality of the consumers ability to write a review - or their own personal character flaws that come across in those reviews - is in any way relevant to my point?

Though I would presume the word "some" was the most important one in your paragraph.

I found your comments interesting so I decided to investigate.

I went on there and read several reviews. The vast majority describe the women as lovely, funny, friendly and how they had a great time. Didn't see much evidence of what you are saying tbh - sure there were a few but go to any review site for anything and you will see that.

I mean really, prostitution is the definition of consensual sex. You agree what's going to happen beforehand, unlike a one night stand, where body language cues etc are often used. Women should be in favour of it as it gives men somewhere else to get sex and they can be left in peace when they go out to a pub or nightclub.

If women had to chase sex with men and not the other way round, then there would be no female prostitution, men would be standing in windows flexing their abs, and the mantra would be why are these men not allowed to choose what they do with their own bodies.

It's also the reason that dating sites like elite singles exist - women are willing to pay hundreds of euro to find a good looking man with money willing to date and marry them as these are in short supply, as are young beautiful women willing to have sex for money with average looking men. I often think the men on these dating sites must have a great time - they are selling a fantasy, just as prostitutes are.

I also watched escorts on Netflix ... Watch that and then tell me who is taking advantage of who.

If it is a mutually agreed business transaction, entered into by choice on the part of both parties, nobody is taking advantage of anyone.

I'm 50/50 on how to view the prostitution thing. On one hand if some bloke wants to pay a woman for sex then who cares.
But then on the other hand prostitution is a seedy and fu*ked up world. It's like what it seems on paper then what it actually is in reality.

I'm sure if some escort was to come onto this thread she'd make it out as if it was an "experience" - you meet a guy, make him comfortable, offer him a drink or a massage, make him climax etc. Like it was a day out at the spa :pac:
Reality is.... It's come in, shoot your load, get out and next one in. then the drugs, std's, many an escort getting beat up over the years. Really is a seedy and messed up thing.
