Clients, what will you do if the Nordic model becomes law

That was more of a rhetorical statement, not meant to disagree with the challenge of C36.

 

C36 DEFINITELY needs to be rewritten.

Fair enough. But, I wanted to reorient this piece as many of us workers are hearing a lot of the 'should have left well enough alone' bit. I've had clients express this in person and it has been playing out in other online forums. And, Canadian prostitution legislation certainly did not leave us well alone. In many ways, this reflects a very real experience of fear and frustration on the part of clients, and we SPs care about this very much, but 'the show will go on', and it is the workers who have been living under the greatest threat of the law for decades. So, yeah, many of us are sensitive about this piece.

^ Challenging the last law was what got us into this mess. One step forward two steps back.

Maybe we should all become Sugar Daddies (SD) / Sugar Mommas (SM) or Sugar Babies (SB). That appears to be more socially acceptable these days. Some SD's can handle donations for up to eight SB's. For some reason selling yourself to pay for your "tuition and housing expenses" is an acceptable form of prostitution. Your pimp is the college/university or student loan agency.

 

That is just my sarcastic take on this absurde Bill C-36 situation.

 

I do believe that we need laws or some sort of regulations. To ensure everyone can play safe in a safe working environment. i.e. health regulations regarding regular testing and safe reporting of crimes against the person. Without fear of prosecution. As well as not being outed as either a client or SP. IMHO. :)

I do believe I will be supporting a few common-in-law wives in the future that I see a couple of times a year. Nothing illegal about that! Whoops what this? I have broken the law because I am a polygamist?

C36 needs to be thrown out. There is nothing in it that is necessary to actually protect underage and unwilling participants. All existing laws not only do that already, they are being used to lay charges recently.

Yes I agree. Existing laws cover every contingency that C36 covers.

 

The PCs introduced it so they can present themselves as fighting exploitation.
