The first paragraph put me off. "You're working the street, you're not expensive." Ugh. I skimmed the rest. The laws DO undermine our ability to work safely, just as they violate our human rights, both under the Canadian Charter and the International Charter of Human Rights. Instead of thinking of something smart to say, I'll just include this quote from the short story "Staged" by Janelle Galazia: "With a few notable exceptions, people do not get into the sex industry for reasons that have anything to do with desire for sex, any more than a person enters janitorial work for a love of cleaning. The exchange between worker and customer is a complicated negotiation of need, illusion, denial, boundaries, and specific neuroses; but central to the exchange is cash. By keeping the debate about sex work focused on sex, and not work, the true nature of the issue is obscured. The arguments rage around ideas of obscenity, appropriate and inappropriate sexualities, representations of femininity, notions of morality: Important issues in their own right, but in the context of the sex work debate they function more as a smoke screen that keeps us from confronting what is really going on. In this framework women are sluts instead of workers, or victims instead of cognizant participants in an economy. The real question here is, why are our options so lame? What are the economic realities that make the sex industry the most viable choice for many people? That's where feminism comes in. That's where outrage becomes appropriate. The wage gap, welfare "reform", sexist and racist hiring practices, the decline in the real value of minimum wage, lack of universal access to healthcare or rehab services, and the widening disparity between the rich and the poor: These are the things that undermine the social fabric and degrade the status of women more than me tramping around in heels could ever hope to. We have to ask ourselves, what is so compelling about blaming naked women for their own oppression? What kinds of confrontation are women avoiding by interrogating each other rather than actual power structures?"

Fair enough, but you can choose who you do and do not represent. The onus is on the agency to provide quality to the client. If you represent a girl who lives/ works out of a pig pen, then that is reflective on your agency and the rest of the providers you represent. An agency needs to establish a standard so that girls know what is expected of them and let them know that there can't be repeated complaints otherwise it may not be possible to work with them any longer, there needs to be a consequence, to pass the info along is not enough, especially with the younger ones, sometimes ya gotta play hard ball to get the message across. If they appreciate the value of the service the agency provides they will abide by the conditions, if they don't they will move on, which is fine because they were a liability to your reputation. It's just like any other business... Image is everything and while yes, I'm not visiting a girl to inspect her housing accommodations the condition of the environment does have an impact to the session. Hard to keep the passion going when you're trying to forget about the smell of cat pee or the stench of stale smoke, while tripping over dirty laundry and pizza boxes.

An incredibly beautiful french canadian girl for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy. Could of put her in babe of the day but with so many delectable thong shots, I opted for this thread.

In discussing this article should we look at it from a "rights", a "my morality", or from a "quality of journalism" perspective? The starting point can change the argument. "rights" Feminism (be it the right wing or left wing variety) provides differing platforms. For example, is sex for money an exploitation of women? Or is it an exploitation of men? Do women have the right over their body, and if so, why can they not deny or provide sex if they so choose? "my morality" this alone is a huge debate, whether humanist, or religionist. In my morality it is about not doing "harm", be this emotional or physical. On one hand the act itself is purported to destroy the healthy mind of the sex worker (male or female), on the other hand it is another skill, another trade, as dangerous as coal mining. As a skill it is certainly to be respected. Think of it as dance and applied psychology rolled up (or roled up if you prefer the pun) in a very effective package. As many men on this list know sex providers (paid or in kind) have varying levels of skill, and that skill is developed, not something we are all born with. (Oops, this may be deviating from morality) "quality of journalism" rarely are the journalists experts in their field. They interview people who may have opinions, rather than facts. To present a "balanced" view they need to include the voices of those who have hard line stances that may not truly represent the situation. Hmmm. So what to do about the journalists? Well, the sex worker initiatives could certainly empower the field. But only if the word gets out in a positive manner. If a police officer gets shot in the line of duty, she is a hero. If a sex worker gets killed, he was not. So maybe the sex workers need to write columns for main stream media about their experiences, their perspectives. Like the homosexual community, to gain acceptance is going to be an emotional, and difficult ride.

Just a quick question assman69 you stated that she was PSE, but did not check off the boxes for services such as DFK,DATY,GREEK. Were you too quick in filling out the rec and forgot? Those services missing are part of a PSE session.

oh really.. well boomers, was also too going down hill.. i don't really think theres a "nice strip club".. i mean one with good girls, nice looking, good attitude.. and nice decor.. however with centerfolds you still get the stragglers walking in being where it is.. but the stage was really nice, its higher up now.. and has a back stage, i don't know.. but it was good.. but I'm not sure how good of quality strippers go there.. decor of the rest isn't the greatest.. but i think with every bar its hit and miss.. gentleman's club, is probably one of the nicer ones.. but the girls are robots.. lol. not all but most..and the cost of everything is just stupid. sin i think the girls are alot better there.. but you also have the Howard Johnson beside it i believe which is a dump all on its own too lol..

Have a great day Canada and don't forget to floss (your teeth, that is).

definitely not to toot my own horn but I have had 4 clients to this day tell me they have fallen in love with me the result is usually tears on both ends and an end to a client relationship. My job is to better the life of married men with their families (or non married men too)....not to become their new focus or obsession. As a teenager my father had multiple girlfriends aside from my mother and really should have hired escorts to get his release.....instead he had women he told he was "in love" with all over the world.....and who in turn fell in love with him and expected him to leave my mother etc. being on the receiving end of the pain my mother went through I will say that any man who falls in love with a worker in the business needs to respect that we are good at our jobs for many reasons, That we appreciate some clients more than others but to not get lost in the "illusion" that we are here to provide. Those of us who accelerate at our jobs deem clients as trusted friends, it is up to the hobbiest to make sure that friendship is never misinterpreted or overstepped..... a true worker who sees the friendship getting out of hand or too emotional on your part will often end the relationship altogether for both your sakes (and sometimes for your family's)....just something to think about. Its a painful and uncomfortable situation no one should have to go through. On the same note, even if someone is a single man and you have fallen, realize what you're laying on your favorite SP when you throw out the L word
