"Sex tourism is a pretty revolting business when it involves vulnerable young people. 100% agree. What about when it involves fully consenting adults though? Is it right or fair that a person who hasn't had sex for a while, and isn't blessed enough to go out and simply 'pull' should have to live the life of a celibate? Provided (of course) there are safeguards in place to protect vulnerable people and the escorts are fully consenting then I think there IS a legitimate place for paid sex out there. I wouldn't want to condemn anyone to a sexless life if that's not what they wanted, when an escort can provide that release for them as and when required." A sound and reasonable point of view | |||

"I wandered how long it would be before the powers that be would want to control our sex lives.I wonder if it will apply to them i doubt it.An MP can smoke and drink in the bar in Parliament yes rich isn't it.Prehaps they'll be allowed a selection of prostitutes delivered at lunchtimes to amuse them" yes mps will be exempt its a case of do what we say,we are just plebs. | |||

It's interesting. | |||

"it has been illegal to pay someone for sex in northern ireland since july which has lead to a huge increase in prostitution across the border as men travel there for their treats .the nothern ireland parliament now propse to make it illegal for nothern irish citizens to pay for sex anywhere to curb this trade . this is being watched by our own parlaiment with a view to introducing it here " They won't be able to police it as they don't the have the resources, simple as. They can't follow every person who crosses the border and keep surveillance tabs on them. After all the government cuts, police resources are already stretched as it is. | |||

We have been here before. Its illogical to make the consumer a criminal but not the supplier. Its like making the pusher immune but not the addict. | |||

"I cannot see this going ahead anyway like people say how will you police it? I cannot understand why it's not good practice to legalise prostitution, as it stands sex workers have little to no rights some are forced into the life. By legalising it tax will be paid, the workers will be looked after better and could eliminate pimps and sex traffickers. " This is so true - legalize it and it sorts out a lot of issues. There's nothing immoral about escorting if the escort is an adult and not coerced. Used car salesmanship is a far more immoral profession IMHO. | |||

That's a bit of a relative question. I didn't become a medical secretary by first choice it sort of happened. I'd much rather have become a different professional. Same applies to many escorts - may not be their "dream" job but it pays the bills and so it happens. She had the option to take something else up, like working in a store or be a cleaner, but didn't want it for a variety of reasons. It was an informed choice. That's different from the sex trafficked. | |||

Bit of a headline grabbing statement if ever I saw one? What defines 'paying for sex'? I've been married 35 years and i've been paying for it ever since (just kidding) It's unenforceable and, dare I say it, relatively undetectable unless by open admission. If the 'offence' isn't committed in the Country where the law applies, I can't see an offence has been committed. | |||

"I'm on a 6 year drought, I don't have a sex life at all and I miss it. I would pay for hotels, trips and spoil a lady etc but I don't think I could ever pay for sex. Personally it would just make me feel like even more of a failure. I do however resent not having the legal option and just see it as an over bearing nanny state government trying to impose morals on consenting adults.. " You all have it wrong. This is not a religious, puritan or moral crusade it isca middle class feminist one. | |||

"So a Briton paying for sex in a country or region where prostitution is legalised, would by definition, be breaking UK law in another country? Well that throws up interesting questions about international law, sovereignty, jurisdiction. Technically, no crime was committed." It's the same principle as bribery. It's illegal for a brit to bribe, even in a country where bribery isn't illegal... | |||

If what you say is true, I guess "middle class feminists" are afraid their husbands, who they starve of sex and physical affection because of their own distorted view on the value of monogamous sex, want to prevent them enjoying even a little sex elsewhere before they die of overwork. Lovely and I bet they say to their husband "Of course I love you! - now pass your wallet over". | |||

But they're not saying you can't continue providing sexual services. It is only the man who runs the risk of being criminalised. He will have to decide whether the risk is worth running. BBut bear in mind that the state are securing wide ranging powers to control what they call "money laundering". We are sleep walking into a period of control precedented only by wartime and the 17th century. The iniquity of the adage "if you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about" will come to mean more and more. When we finally reach a cashfree society there will be nothing in your spending that will be private. | |||

Nobody is paying - except one or two muppets, all the providers are making money by links to each other providers' sites and advertising. The business model will be ultimately prove unsustainable and there will be either a collapse or a tightening of paid membership. By the way, on the adultwork site in Northern Ireland there are 99 female and 78 male profiles of people offering sex for money and there are reviews of their performance....which seems a risky practice. | |||

"I think it's reasonable that if you're British and you break our laws it's right you're prosecuted regardless of where you broke them. Previously I'd question the thing about whether paying for sex should be illegal, but the more I read/watch stuff it seems that women are never really in control in those situations. Even when it seems they are it most often turns out they're either being exploited or end up seriously messed up." so what are you doing here? are you here to exploit and control the weaker people here. Who exploits whom? Seems to me it is the weakness of men that is being exploited. | |||
