I think Mike's logic is that prices should be low because demand is much lower for male escorts. But the offer is also lower so it balances out. I have a feeling that the few women who are actually willing to pay an escort may be more generous than the average male client. I imagine that women...

Exactly, we pay for convenience and peace of mind. I assume well established ladies are also less likely to be bothered by the police. New ladies will have the double problem of gaining the confidence of clients and convincing police that they are not trafficked.

But if prices go down, guess what? Demand starts to go up! Also the fact that SPs are not criminalized may encourage more casual workers to try it. Supply also create demand. Given the not-so tangible decrease they got in Sweden with all their enforcement budget, I expect we will see even less...

Yes, and here's another interesting read http://myweb.dal.ca/mgoodyea/Documents/Sweden/400,000%20Swedish%20perverts%20Kulick%20GLQ%2011%282%29%202005%20205-35.pdf FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND SWEDISH PERVERTS Don Kulick

It is my understanding that Swedes are very law abiding and see social order above individual liberties. They seem to have a long history of social engineering. In their context they decided ideology was above the safety of sex workers. It's quite shocking to see our government do that in our...

They are not victims of the crime. Women in general and prostitutes in particular are ''victimized'' in a general sort of way by this activity. That's what they say in the preamble, but not in the actual law. Like Alan Young said, you have to compare the preamble with the words of the law, and...

For education: More woman going to college=more women needing to pay tuitions. More people getting degrees=more competition for jobs and less attractive prospects, so sex work can remain a good job after graduation. I think women had more financial security 50 years ago. Being a housewife had...

It's true that actual obstruction of justice is unlikely, but that's a threat they can make. If they want police can do pretty much anything to mess up an SP's life under the excuse of making sure she's not trafficked. She opens the door to greet a would-be client and before she knows it she has...

Just like Harper lies and disregards constitutional rights, so could the police if they want. In principle we are all equal, but we know very well profiling and police misconduct happens. But the points is that SP are neither victims nor accused according to this law. When a crime is committed...

The law may be new, but money remains the same. Hotels that are now SP friendly are not going to just give up half their income for the pleasure of enforcing a new morality law. Especially since the law is so controversial. Some Hotels might, in backward places where they will have lot of...

Ha ha, I never really got the hang of that one either. I love the woman on top, but it depends a lot on the woman. With the right person it is the best. I love when the woman is lying on me, like missionnary, but her on top. Doggy is the one that is best most of the time. Or a kind of...

I agree with Patron. Plus, the more it looks like a real date, the less likely it is to gain police attention. Dinner dates could become de rigueur. Perverts bringing their victims to fancy restaurants does not fit the public's image of human traficking.

The funniest part of the hearing was when senator Baker said this new bill would really crack down on those women.:)

It's counter-intuitive, but providers have more to fear from the police. If they draw attention, police can scare away their customers and drive them out of business. Police have the right to go to their place and intimidate them in the pretense of making sure they are not trafficked. Tracking...

Some times, but I don't spend more then 20$ on wine. It depends on the person. Once, someone asked me to bring beer and chips. Occasionnaly I will bring homemade cookies when it's someone I know. It's fun to share something.

Maybe she's not afraid of accident as much as someone slipping it off on purpose. The only time I saw an escort afraid of slippage, she had a special little band to hold it in place. Like a cock ring, but with not much pressure so you don't feel it.

It's a constitutional challenge, not a civil action. But it can proceed according to different rules of proceedings. Like you say, you need to have standing to make a constitutional challenge, by being directly or indirectly affected by the law. Public interest groups can also have standing if...

They did the constitutional challenge under the civil rules of proceeding, not the criminal rules. My understanding is that it does not have to be based on an actual charge. Anyway, what she is threatening now is not a legal action.

It will be soon, with the ''Stop Advertising Victims of Exploitation Act'' (SAVE). This bill will make it a felony to advertise, same as C-36. It still has to go through Senate in the US, so I'm not sure how certain and how soon it will be adopted...

I don't think it's a good idea either (but the Schadenfreude of it is almost too much to resist). I would compare that list to an atomic bomb: it can be useful to let people know you have one, but it would be a very bad idea to actually use it. The point should be made that entrapment and...
