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.

Sharing living expenses isn't paying for things for someone else. The clue is in the word sharing...

So you are paying for her part as well, interpret it however you want, it doesn't change the meaning.

What? No. We split the rent. How is that paying someone else's share? Also, telling that you went with "her" there, since I did say I have had boyfriends as well...

So tell me when you invite a girl for a date who pays? Don't tell me what you would do, tell me what's the ''social norm''

I don't know what others do. When we go to say, the cinema, he'll pay for tickets and I'll buy the sweets and popcorn and drinks. We go on a night out, we are rarely alone (rounds if we are) pay for ourselves if out with others. Dinner, nights away, depends who plans it. He'll pay for it sometimes, I'll pay for it sometimes. I go shopping and see shirts/tops/jeans/ties he would like, I'll buy them. Hecaees me eyeing up something online, he'll surprise me with it.

I can't speak for social norms, just norms for relationships I've been in

I don't see your point - expressing concerns about something means saying everyone should be wrapped in bubble wrap? Man, this has struck a nerve for you.

What has that got to do with paying for sex?

Yes, it means exactly that. Let people live their own lives, enough of the nanny state policies, we are at the top already. Proven that it doesn't work, that's why people emigrate where they can live their own lives without interferencs from the government in every little thing such as abortion. Yes we are literally the only country in Europe thy bans abortion due to the fact that it's ''immoral'' forget that people's lives are ruined and that the world is already overpopulated and you are forcing people to have children after accidentaly breeding.

I'd be in favour of legalisation because it's way worse when it's illegal.

I've often wondered what the workers themselves, the people who advertised on this site, for example, would say to that. It may be safer but they are going to be openly known as escorts, which could bring problems in itself and their earnings are going to take a nose-dive, due to tax etc. I have a very dim view of the whole area of prostitution from my time in Amsterdam. Thought it offered nothing positive to what is a beautiful city.

No, you asked what they would do - you don't get to just change the goalposts within the very same question.

It's only in your mind that sharing a household means paying for sex. What a ****ed up way of thinking.

Johnboner wrote: »

No it doesn't, it means expressing concerns about something - just like you express concerns about things. Not once have I said prostitution should be banned or we should all be wrapped in cotton wool. Cop on and debate properly.

But it's not illegal where do people get that it is?

''Prostitution in Ireland is, itself, legal, but most activities associated with it (such as soliciting in a public place, operating brothels, and other forms of pimping) are illegal.''

What is in your opinion my agenda? I just forgot to put gf/bf. I voted yes for gay marriage as the law before was ridiculous at least we got something right.

You would have to presume females would be charged if caught with a male escort..Because it happens..

Johnboner

True and its hilarious because the woman doesn't get punished. The law is campaigned by extreme feminists who should be removed from society as it is completely unfair, they go around spreading their fake news and causing chaos and unfair treatment everywhere while hiding behind feminism.
But the law is not there yet so you can buy sex all you want just do it now before it will become illegal due to the pressure from ''turn off the red light'' movement.

I agree (although removed from society?) - the people who should be asked their opinion are the prostitutes themselves - and plenty are getting on fine, but there are those who aren't.

Where does it happen? There is no law making paying for sex or selling it illegal. However it has to be done privately not on a street or a brothel.

I meant they movement should be ignored or their group just shut down as they spread massive misinformation.

MY BODY MY CHOICE, once of course that freedom for a woman to do what she chooses with her body, doesn't result in a man enjoying himself by paying for casual sex, then it must be outlawed.

Everyone that goes to prostitutes gets STD 100% of the time. And where did you get that it's illegal to go to prostitutes? It is LEGAL to pay for sex in Ireland so you can freely go to all the escorts you want without breaking the law. Another misinformed person spreading false information.

Not anymore it isn't. It's now illegal to purchase but not sell sex.

Google it. It's the sexual offences bill about consent. This was tacked onto it. Do you think the Irish Times just made it up? If you do then you've got worse problems my friend

I have never really understood why prostitution is illegal. Surely all the arguments against it would be better and safer if it was completely legal

It's hard to say, look at Germany where it's totally legal yet they still have a huge problem with people trafficking

Reasons not to get escorts:

1. it's just another example of how young women can get money more easily than young men... they don't deserve your money
2. you're a young man in your prime, isn't it a shame that you need an escort? maybe when I'm 60 and my wife has alzheimers.
3. you can't taste them, if you know what I mean - or even kiss them (ya don't know where they've been)
4. chances are, that just at the moment your getting into it & you're finally in the right frame of mind, it'll be a case of "time's up, need more money".
5. Risks - there are various risks, most of which you couldn't possibly foresee until you'd try it... and I don't just mean STDs. Nearby pimps, solicitation setups, etc.
