UK sex workers in 'dire and desperate' need amid coronavirus lockdown

[vetran]

In countries where it is legal and regulated it turns out not to be the case for a significant number of workers..

You mean the ones not working within the legal framework?

Wonder if there are day rate snobs? "Humph, not getting into bed for that!"

I think it's interesting to compare what's happening in nail bars with this debate about the sex industry. Other than the taboo nature of sex work, nail bars are pretty similar. The workers are frequently illegal and exploited, forced to work long hours with dangerous chemicals for little money. The coercion and human trafficking is just as bad as any brothel.

Does anybody care that every high street has shop full of slaves labouring away for wages no real employee could survive on? Most people do not give a rat's ass. It's fully out in the open for everyone to see because nobody cares at all. Why all the moral hand wringing about brothels when the country is full of nail bars and dodgy car washes? Because sex is shameful.

Precisely well said. Police the bit that is illegal i.e. the drugs & trafficking let the girls (and boys) work if they want to.

Interesting reported crime has fallen by only 20% despite the streets being empty. What do the police spend their time doing? - telling people off for paying football in their front garden!

I'm just going to leave this here: Legalization has turned Germany into the 'Bordello of Europe' and we should be ashamed (NSFW)

It's a tough read.

I'm now going to find other threads in which to play... cheerio.

No, but you have to finish in less than 5 minutes.

In addition to legalizing pimping, the Prostitution Act made it possible for prostituted people to become regular employees, subject to taxation and access to social benefits. Yet only 44 out of an estimated 400,000-1,000,000 prostituted people have chosen to register as prostitutes in order to access said benefits.

Law enforcement and social workers in Sweden, where the Nordic model has been in place for over a decade, say they have no problem finding prostitution and johns; the only issue is finding resources to address these situations.

When we consider this, along with the fact that relatively few people receive the supposed social benefits that come with having the industry “out in the open,” shouldn’t we be talking about the way in which prostitution in Germany is “underground?”

So my point about about working within the legal framework stands. I was shocked by some of the marketing, I would expect that to be regulated.
