Things like that can sound kind of scary when they're just throwing numbers and percentiles at you... An increase in STDS is like an increase in mental illness or even a increase of Autism... more people getting STDs is probably not the (only) reasons for an increase. There are lots of factors that could be there that they don't mention... Like the fact that there are more illnesses now being called STDs/STIs.. And maybe that more people are getting tested and treated than before... It's most likely a combination of things though and I wouldn't let them scare you into thinking that STDs are running rampant. (But I would let them scare you into being tested regularly, it's just healthy.)

That's a little harsh, don't you think? 10 years? C'mon, I could rob a bank and get less time. I'm not saying licensing isn't a bad thing, but what kind of "requirements" would one have to meet to get said license. Would there be training, a test, would it be a municipal or provincial responsibility? Mandatory licensing is not going to prevent the underground economy of prostitution any more than it prevents other underground economies such as private driving services (as opposed to taxis), Selling meat out the back of a truck (as opposed to grocers), etc. etc. I'm not sure what the answer is, but whatever it is, the issue of those who think they can set up shop outside my window, or procure/force people to work as prostitutes and make a profit off same based on their own greed, still needs to be addressed.

I find that the benefits it reaps are well worth keeping it shaved.

that is not true. the living off the avails law clearly states that any third party (pimp, agent, other lady or driver etc..) not the lady doing the prostituting. that is in part true. it is to make a safer working environment but more than that it is because the current law takes basic chartered rights away from those who work in this profession. the courts are recognizing that not all these ladies are drug addicts, controlled by pimps or forced into this business. many ladies choose to work in this business (especially the 'escorts' who you see here on cerb joining the conversations). not true again. communicating is only in a public place (street, hotel lobby, casino, etc...). if the lady communicates in private she is not charged for this... and I explained living off avails above. third most single ladies working from a low traffic in call location that is not a commercial unit and is not accepting walk in appointments is really not on the radar. it would take public complaints and a over ambitious police force to see this as harmful to the public and waste resources on targeting such places so these places are usually ignored.. it's the high traffic commercial places (massage spa, brothels and strip clubs like the famous fantasias that was closed in markham a few years back) ... those are the targets for law enforcement. that and streetwalkers and pimps... but the current laws give pimps many ways out and really only target the ladies.

The following are pieces of the an article regarding the pros and cons of the Swedish model of prostitution law. It?s not uncommon for women in low paying service and secretarial jobs to turn tricks on the weekends or for a women trying to put herself through university to free lance dance at her local strip club. Stripping, writing pornography, nude photos, internet webcams, porn films, escort services, massage parlours, phone sex, peep shows, personals ads, street prostitution ? you name it, it?s a women dominant business; it?s also one of the only businesses where women can make more than men. Swedish supporters argue that the new system has sponsored more collaboration between the police and social services and therefore more sensitive treatment of prostitutes. While this might be the case in some instances, violence from clients has reportedly increased. A recent Norwegian government sponsored study found that in Sweden, "? violence is an everyday occurrence for women involved in prostitution. Women tell of violence in the form of major attacks, rape, threats with knives and with being locked up. Obviously, being locked up for very serious offences. Proponents of the Swedish model argue that women are more likely to report crimes such as these to the police. Swedish sex work activist Rosinha Sambo, on the other hand, dismisses this outright and claims that sex workers are actually less likely to call the police because if fellow workers and clients find out, the prostitute will become stigmatized and clients will be afraid to visit her. Prostitutes talk of the new tougher existence that they face on the streets. The decreasing numbers of clients (through fear of arrest and clients seeking prostitutes in neighbouring countries) creates a more competitive market where women need to reduce their rates and are more likely to agree to sex without protection. Reports also indicate that due to the negative social stigma attached to prostitution and the greater risks for the clients, the so-called more ?normal? clients (i.e. non-abusive men looking for fairly straight sex) are no longer purchasing services and what?s left are the aggressive men who are interested in rough sex and other higher risk behaviours . Women are also forced to make split second decisions about whether to accept a client?s offer as any conversation in public could lead to his arrest. This effectively puts women in the situation of having to protect her clients and doesn?t allow her the necessary time to assess the situation using her learned intuition to get a sense of her safety. Effectively, Swedish prostitutes and others are arguing that since the laws on the purchasing of sexual services have come into play prices for services have decreased, sex without condoms and violence have increased, clients are forced to go to neighbouring states, and the industry has been pushed further underground. The Swedish system seems to be working fine for politicians and the feminist movement but reportedly not for the sex workers. The implications of having a criminal record for prostitution-related offences can have a devastating effect on people's lives, preventing them, for example, from getting a job once they decide to leave the trade. The incidents of street prostitution (or at least it visibility) has plummeted since the introduction of the tough prostitution laws in Sweden, though such statistics are being argued. Same argument exists for human trafficking as the criminal are now seeking easier markets like neighbouring countries. My views: I believe that both the Swedish model of prostitution law and the liberal German/Dutch prostitution laws are unworkable and not proper for Canada or anywhere else. I believe while governments must combat the dark aspects of prostitution more vigorously and must put aside sufficient funding and law enforcement resources to fight off forced prostitution, underage prostitution, pimping and human trafficking as well as legislating harsh (up to several years) for human sex traffickers especially those pimping and forcing the underage as well as those clients who knowingly hire the underage or forced prostitutes, however, the voluntary prostitution between consenting adult should be likely legalized and regulated. Those who want a change or out must be supported socially and financially and special government sponsored programs must be introduced to assist those sex workers for their safe transition to a new profession. Sex workers must be able to report violent clients as well as pimps to law enforcement without the fear of being prosecuted. A media campaign must commence to educate the public about sex workers and remove the stigma associated with sex workers and their profession in our society. The fact remains that though likely most street sex workers are forced into prostitution (by their pimps or needs like drug addictions,?) however, there are also many other sex workers (mostly using internet and review boards) who voluntarily have chosen the profession and who are working in a clean safe environment and enjoying their work too and the law must separate between the two. Bringing harsh punishment for both types of prostitution is unfair, illogical, undemocratic, counter-productive and totally unacceptable in progressive societies such as Canada. It only serves the politicians to show off their good face or intentions and feminists who have clearly misunderstood the meaning of feminism which is about equality not unequal treatment of sexes when sex workers (overwhelming majority are women) are free from prosecution and their clients (overwhelming majority are men) are being harshly prosecuted.

I always say in my website, "at my discretion". If I don't like the look of something or someone, I bow out and if need be, I will be direct as to why not. I am not afraid to say it like it is if they "don't get it". For example, a guy game to see me who had rotten, broken teeth and he wanted DATY, and I politely told him that since he obviously had some dental issues, I could not permit that. He told me he a horse kicked him in the mouth when he was 12 years old and his parents couldn't afford the dental bills. As unfortunate story that it was, this many was well into his 40s and I figured getting his teeth fixed or removed and dentures or whatever was not a big priority for him in his life. As such, I was not about to endanger my health with his gum disease bacteria of whatever floating around in his mouth on my pussy. I still gave him good service. It's a delicate issue, but my health exceeds any client's request. Fortunately I get mostly well groomed, clean men visiting me - the ones who aren't lose out.
