I came across this article in The Economist - Britain has a proposal to make buying sex liable to criminal charges if it subsequently emerges that the prostitute was controlled for another person’s gain. Read full report.
C’mon, give the guy a break…engaging an escort is fraught with so many risks already – from STD to harassment by thugs to embarrassment to fear of getting caught by your wife, getting secretly videotaped or the usual fear for all men during any act of copulation – inability to measure up or rise to the occassion…and now this!!
Also, I wonder if the Brits have really thought this through. Just how does a person, seeking gratification of the horizontal kind find out whether the professional before him is in employment or in proprietary business?
Does he just ask and expect an honest answer from a lady of the night. Is the defence “She lied your Lordship” going to hold up in court? Does he sign a certificate for himself and keeps it in his pocket before commencing the act…you know, the kind of certificate that says, “…above information is true to the best of my knowledge and belief”
I mean after negotiating the rates, does he ask…"ahem, you are doing this for yourself right…."
Lady: - “Hey you really think you are that hot!! I am doing it for the money”
Customer – “Yes offcourse, but what I really mean is….”
It can become a pretty long conversation in a business where time is money like little else.

In fact the comic situations can be numerous, how many can you think?
PS: I simplistically assumed the client to be a guy and the service provider to be a lady...we can of course consider the three combinations of the sexes separately.
whoa! now the customers have to do a background check before engaging the service of an escort.
ReplyDeletelol... poor customers
@xh: background check on people with in immoral business....LOL!!
ReplyDeleteAdmittedly, the masterminds of the aforementioned legalese could be using the term sex in some other fashion :/
ReplyDeleteYou and I may think that folks should not have to "compare notes" in order to discern whether the ensuing carnal bliss benefits the payee or someone else - it sure benefits the customer. But not these crackpots...
...I am waiting for the day when these same clowns start terming escort agencies as "sweatshops" ;)
