    A religious order doing good work? You might upset some Catholic bashers on AH by saying that!

    As far as I know there are several escort agencies and things, in the gray area of "you're paying for company, if anything happens it's between consenting adults"...not really sure that excuse works on a legal basis :rolleyes:
    But anyway, it's pretty easy, there's even a forum dedicated to finding places, sharing info, reviews, that sort of thing.
    General consensus is that they're shoite and a complete rip off in Ireland though (€130 for half an hour :eek:)
    Note that I haven't actually gotten around to using one myself yet :P

    Pretty good value for having sex 15 times imo.

    Few years ago I did a lot of driving around the Cork area. There was a few women always thumbing out of the city or hitching a lift back in ;). One very stormy and wet evening I stopped to give a lift to one very weather beaten woman on her way back into the city. Turned out it's a lifestyle she never wanted to get into but found the money easy to make and didn't mind the work too much. She is a very nice woman, real character, wicked laugh, good company with cloths on.

    I learned a lesson, not to judge people by appearance.

    Apparently women are being trafficked over, passports seized, drugged and used for prostitution.
    If you look at the Sex Workers Alliance of Ireland thread, you'll see that most of them aren't trafficked, and many are willing.

    Apparently Dublin has become a capital for prostitution, more here than Amsterdam google Escort ireland and judge for yourself. But yes none of my mates uses them at least no one says they do, I suppose 1 nighters are to easy to find in Dub.

    I am not naive to think it doesn't exist but i never thought we had the niche market for prostitution...
    Do you know anyone who uses prostitutes in Ireland? Apart from Leeson St, is there anywhere else to find them?
    I would consider myself a lads girl, as i hang out with lads all the time and i don't know anyone who uses prostitutes in Ireland(common when lads go to Amsterdam though but not at home)

    It never occurred to you that male demand outweighed female supply??

    In those countries with legal prostitution e.g. Germany & Netherlands, does trafficking still happen on a large scale for sexual exploitation?

    I heard a massive sting operation over the 2006 world cup in Germany only found a handful of trafficked women - after all, why bother with slavery when one can make almost as much from free workers? Tesco pays €9 per hour, a brothel pays €200 or so - are you saying no-one will be tempted?

    Used to live by Benburb St, sometimes you'd see some SERIOUSLY rough looking aulone's out there turning tricks. I remember years ago you used to see them up around Fitzwilliam Square, but afaik they all work out of apartments and stuff now.

    There were a couple of whore houses in athlone, they were closed down due to lack of business, if you cant get a ride in athlone on a saturday night - not even a whore would service you...

    You should youtube The Dubliners singing about the Monto. Ronnie Drew gives a great little intro. Prostitution has always been rife in Dublin since time began. When the church got too powerful and tried to quash it, it just drove it underground. The gay saunas were operating here for years as well. All manner of bishops and priests going in.
