    No I wouldn't, but then I'm a women. It's only (some) men that seem to think it's ok to pay someone for use of their body. Pity damn sick and sad IMO. The men that use prozzies are beyond pathetic.

    as are the people who think they have any grounds to judge another.



    *don't use prostituts btw!

    I wouldn't, but not because of any moral reasons, I have friends that have and in places like Amsterdam and Germany where it's controlled as much as possible and the girls do it of their own volition I don't see it as an issue.

    The main reason I would never do it is because I wouldn't enjoy it. To me it seems you're taking all the fun part out of sex and just paying for the end result and from some of the stories I've heard you'd have more fun with a blow up doll.

    Edit: LOL at the sexual health ad in the bottom right of the page :D

    Can you link to your sources OP?
    If you say it's legal why is the title "Prostitution In Ireland - Completely Legal?"
    My answer to your second question is: Hell no!


    Merged with an earlier thread on the exact same topic.

    I'd imagine he put it that way because it is generally perceived to be illegal.

    It is not. So long as you advertise from a non-irish based website you have not broken any laws.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,879 ✭✭✭Coriolanus


    Where's the I wouldn't but think it should be legal anyway option?
    Anyway, plenty of Irish girls enter the "service industry" during their year abroad in oz. Seems unfair they can't put their experience on their cv when they get home.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,533 ✭✭✭✭28064212


    Would probably never use a prostitute. Would never watch the X-factor or buy music from one of the crap-pop manufactured "successes". Don't think either should be illegal though

    I pay. People for the use of their bodies very day. E en men sometimes. Just because some people want to use something other than a cashierss hands should make little or no difference as long as both parties are willing.

    Pimping and prostitution is definitely legal in Ireland if it's done by the State, sure haven't they sold our holes (and our childrens holes, and probably our grandchildrens holes) to Europe?

    I don't think its fair to make comments like this. As you're a woman I'm sure you look for a perfect specimen of manhood to make love to.
    While some of the men that use prozzies may be beyond pathetic, love cheats,ect.. Many may just lack the looks and/or the social skills to attract an attractive female. To go through life, looking at attractive scantily clad women, but not being able to touch, would most likely drive a man demented and depraved in our culture that teaches us, from childhood, to go fort and multiply. Prostitution fills a need in society, I've just visited a website for research purposes, and today, there are 389 girls advertised as disabled friendly in Ireland.

    Your suggesting that Irish girls prostitute themselves in Australia and New Zealand during gap years - because they're too picky when it comes to Irish men or because they need extra money for beer, food and safari trips

    That website is a disgrace - most of the women appear to be foreign nationals, and the Irish women (who identity themselves) mark their faces so as not to be identified, while giving some obviously dodgy mobile number

    Listen, not to be a prude or anything, but would someone actually pay 3,500Euro to spend all day and all night with this girl, surely there's a cheaper and simpler way to do it!

    And look what's written at the bottom
    [Insert name here] charges for her time and companionship only. Anything else that occurs is a matter of coincidence and choice between consenting adults.

    Never heard it referred to as that before


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 333 ✭✭oompaloompa

    Can I ask why you think it's a disgrace? Your post didn't really explain...

    You note that most of the girls on that site are foreign... you're right, mostly Eastern European. Those girls are not working in an organised ring, most are independent escorts. A lot are doing it to put themselves through college and give themselves a better life.

    I actually don't agree that the site is a disgrace. It gives the escorts a chance to communicate with their clients first, allowing them that bit more safety when they do arrange meets. There is a review system in place which also protects the clients from potentially dangerous situations. By having a well run website like that, it keeps girls off the streets and allows for a safety net for all concerned.

    Website or no website, prostitution will exist. I for one would rather it was in an open and safe environment.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit


    Well, most other service providers in the country can already screw you and take all your money. Just look at the banks.

    Ah cop on, are you saying you never judge another person? Like you don't judge murderers, rapists, child abusers, FF politicians? (and yeah I do think that FF politicians fits in that list :D). You might think I'm pathetic for judging men that use women in this way harshly. I think you're pathetic for pretending you don't judge people, everyone judges other people. If we didn't there'd be no prisons.

    Theres a fairly high chance that the brekfast you had this morning, the clothes on your back and the keyboard you typed your post on were the product of sweatshop and/or child labour. But seemingly this is not sad and sick as someone getting a few minutes enjoyment in the context of a business relationship with a willing adult ?

    Don't so arrogantly make assumptions about me. You don't know me, I only buy fair trade and as my rice crispies are made in Ireland I really can't see sweat shop coming into it. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I'm sure it's the case in most countries that escorts are from other countries, escorts are people too, they have private lives, and don't want to be found out/bump into a neighbour while working. Irish girls are more likely selling their wares away from these shores.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 685 ✭✭✭Carlos_Ray


    Something I find even more disgusting than prostitution, is the "Thai bride" situation. Old or Ugly men, travelling to third world countries to pick up women. These women, not only sell their bodies, but also their soul.

    The story of the middle aged loser who still lives with his mother and never had a girlfriend, travelling to Thailand and returning with a bride is sadly very common. He brings her to his local in a vain attempt to announce his late arrival into manhood, but nobody is fooled. Everybody can see the utter distain in the young girls eyes. She hates him, and even worse she hates herself.

    Did you mean to include a question mark in there somewhere or will I just be quiet now and accept what you say it is that I meant?

    Thats a poor argument at best.

    Yes :Biofair Organic Fair Trade Rice Crispies, :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Look if you use prostitutes that's up to you but don't expect me not to have an opinion because YOU've decided I'm less than perfect, again that's just pathetic. I see a big difference between treating a woman like a piece of crap and eating food grown in China (mine isn't but that's beyond the point). Just give up already you've stopped making sense.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    The main difference being one doesnt get to see the women girls in China. Out of sight out of mind.
