    Nope, if there's going to be a legitimate sex trade it'd have to be avail for everyone to make use of the services. Otherwise that's discrimination.

    It's already legal.

    Moot point really, it's only "not illegal" as women involved in it are by defualt considered to be victims. The possiblity of self incrimination would make them hesitant about contacting Gardaí if there was a need to for any reason.

    What is illegal is:
    Solicitation
    Keeping a Brothel (more then 1 escort / prostitute making use of a premises, there doesn't even need to be a pimp or madame involved)

    If you can't advertise it or setup shop, there's not much worth to it being technically recognised as "legal."

    If sex-workers were employed in this capacity, the sale of wheelchairs would skyrocket across the country.

    Errr, the title quite clearly says "Should Ireland employ sex workers for those with severe disabilities?" Which would suggest you meant should the government pay for people to have sex with people that suffer from disabilities.

    Eh, the Government employ many people to provide many services to the public and see very few that are free.

    My sexual losing streak is so long that I'd consider mimicing these severe disabilities just to get my end away.

    Sex is great but if its with a prostitute then it's just for self gratification so my answer would have to be no.

    Is self gratification a human right ?

    Self gratification??? You mean pleasure. No pleasure isn't a right, but I think we should live in a society where seek to make people's lives as enjoyable as is realistic and practical. The pleasure of sex for the disabled is something I'd be happy for my tax to be spent on.

    LOL

    Thanks for that

    I hope this topic gets onto Le Monde 'Irish accept all austerity measures, and introduce new disabled sex tax'

    But what if people abuse it? What if there are disabled Latvians claiming for rides that never happened, or claiming for rides in another country??

    Arent there dildos and plastic fannies available in every town these days. If a partner had to wipe an ass, surely s/he could hold a fleshlight or other device for a few minutes while the other misfortunate drives and reverses himself into it.

    I agree but only if the prostitute is disabled aswell.

    A sick thread really. It reduces everyone from women to disabled people.

    And we should pay for it out of our taxes too, maybe a special needs payment form the SW or somesuch.

    Read that line again. I don't think it reads the way you expected it to.

    How many pages back did you have to go reading after hours before you found a thread you could bump to make a joke about the croke park agreement?

    Only problem with that would be the shortage of females with disabilities who would be willing to become prostitutes. You have to remember also there's more men with disabilities than women.
