    Realise I'm probably a little naive here but where does the demand for prostitutes really come from? Single men? Married men? Young? Old?

    Is sex really that scarce in today's world?

    Also the talk of married men who aren't getting any is that really as big a problem as its made out to be. I can only think of one women i know who has gone completely off sex since having children but she was never really keen on sex before then anyway - her husband knew this before he married her.

    Where are you getting that from ? "Everyone that goes into prostitution gets STD 100% of the time"

    Totally untrue. You have more of a chance of cathching something from a one night stand than an escort. We (yes, we) are always very careful, condoms and regular STI checks are the norm for escorts.

    It comes from all kinds of men. Married, single, young and old, lonely, bored, stressed. They have lots of reasons

    But surely that demand can be satisfied without resorting to paying for it? Its not the 1930s, women enjoy sex too and surely the majority require sex ever much as men do!

    I can only speak for myself. I'm independent. Part time and I'm happy with it. I work from a safe and clean hotel. I make the rules and I keep myself to myself. I have a regular clientele now so that's a good thing I guess. No more worrying about what's coming to the door.

    Honestly I don't know about that. You would think that but I suppose if they just want to meet someone on their lunch break Or after a long day at work then for some it's the only way ?

    Thanks for answering, much respect to you.

    Do you ever think of doing a ask me anything forum here ? it might help dismiss & show some understanding of your work.

    There are some sexual fantasies that prostitution provide. I'm mean there's a lot more to sex than just getting up on eachother. I mean bondage isn't something a lot of women are into, if a woman/man provides this service then people will avail of it.

    Women enjoy sex with a subset of men. Some men have difficulties relating to women. It's funny when rape culture is bandied about, when there are lots of men who are afraid to even talk to women in a flirty or sexual way. It's very confusing for them. That's an area where escorts can really help, taking some of the mystery out of it. They are still women after all - and they aren't going to shoot you down.

    "In Dublin" magazine, in its heyday, published and profited hugely from ad's for so called massage parlours where it was implicit yet never overtly stated that sexual services were for sale. Websites such as "Escorts Ireland" are just a natural evolution of this.
    The harsh reality of prostitution remains unchanged, however. These girls - from the poorest regions of Eastern Europe - are trafficked into Ireland illegally, moved around the country effectively as sex slaves, gaining little financial reward whilst under the control of violent pimps.

    Thanks for your responses. What are your clients like, are they mostly respectful of you, or do some of them treat you badly? Just curious. The narrative is that they are all abusive.

    But surely if these men are afraid of and are intimidated by the average woman, then would find an experienced prostitute even more intimidating or am I missing something?

    Plenty of happily married men are not getting it enough at home. Wives unwilling to preform certain sexual acts.

    Escorts provide a safe way for them to get their balls drained and not harm anyone by cheating.

    except that is cheating. even if the wife says yes its just approved cheating.

    you always hear the hes unhappily married excuse for married men using prostitutes, its a handy way of excusing the behaviour.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,574 ✭✭✭WhiteMemento9


    It is funny to see so many liberal posts towards prostitution when you consider that if this conversation came up within a group friends in real life that I think it would be incredibly rare to see people voice those type of views. I often wonder about the duality of our nature with regards stuff like this as to how we have been conditioned to act and say certain things IRL that don't align in anyway with our views when put behind a keyboard anonymously.

    it would be like putting a plaster over a stab wound. those timid men would be better off improving their social skills naturally.

    If you wanted a doctor for a suspected STD, would you be more intimidated walking into a bar and asking every man there if he could help, in the hope one of them was a doctor, or going to your local GP? Would the fact the GP had seen it before make it more intimidating? Seems obvious to me.

    No my clients are all fine. And if they were abusuve I would never see them again. As I said previously, I have regulars now and I very very rarely see new clients. It's just not worth the worry or the money to take any chances.

    because they get away with it. they can always go with the "my wife wont have sex any more" excuse. who are people going to believe? bit like the "herself wont let me out this weekend" excuse.

    It is cheating, you are correct. And I detest cheating. Other forms of cheating are not illegal though, just this one.

    Tis the shame of talking about sex in Ireland, we are still miles behind having open & frank discussion's about sex & may God strike down the first TD who brings it up.

    that doesnt mean it should be legal. or encouraged.

    I think you should ask Lara that and not make assumptions. That's the stereotype that it's mostly married men but there are lots of stereotypes around this area.

    I don't think it should be encouraged, just not illegal. It's not the state's job to be moral policemen. Trafficking, pimping etc should absolutely be illegal. But independent women making money on the side? No way. Add morally, some single man occasionally having paid sex and the women making good money out of it? Don't see a problem.

    Not really. If it's emotional intimacy that scares them then they can get a facsimile of it without the actual risk.

    Do think they are excuses or are they real ? I posted this earlier on

    Sex is a huge taboo in Ireland, & yes you can trace it back to the strangle hold the CC had on the country, Most of the major European countries have legalised clubs & brothels & are run on strict safe & secure guidelines.

    I find nothing wrong with men who go to these establishment's for relief, In many cases married men go there because its not happening at home for what ever reason & instead of rocking the boat in what is most likely a good relationship they go get sex/relief elsewhere without attachments.

    As for Male escorts for women, In Ireland that's a very secret circle, but go outside and its there, We all have heard of the women who travel to turkey & morocco to get them self's a toy boy, Its a huge business there for bored & frustrated women.

    and how do you plan to police it? ireland does not need prostitution legalised.

    what is the next thing people wont want the state being "moral policemen" about?

    I think if you are in a group where someone gets on a moral crusade about how misogynistic and abusive prostitution is, do you think anyone is going to answer honestly? I'm lucky enough to have a group of friends that we can discuss topics like this and we can agree to disagree.

    It may seem obvious to you but it doesn't to me. I would have thought that if a man is having issues with confidence when it comes to women then choosing one who is far more confident and experienced than him would be more intimidating than seeking out a women more likely to be in a similar situation to himself.

    I must life in a bubble anyway where the vast majority of my friends seem happy with their sex lives (some small dry spells after first child was born in a lot of cases but nothing permanent or long term from what i'm told!) & that most women I know enjoy sex as much as men!!

    Not too surprising that people don't or wouldn't talk about it in public, sure look at the mud thrown across either side in this thread: men pay for sex are deviants, anyone opposed to it are prudish, out of touch etc. It's a very divisive topic.

    Mind you though some people just aren't hugely comfortable discussing their sex lives in public anyway.

    Its still not, but its an important part for both in a realionship, For two long in this country sex was just for procreating and not for enjoyment, If the demand for these ladys were not here they would not be here, and they have been here since civilastion began.

    publicly sex was presented as being for procreation. but it private it was whatever the couple wanted. which isnt exactly a bad behaviour.

    of course theres a demand for them. they make themselves available. offer something and it will be taken.

    Do you mean policing the trafficking /pimping side of it? You police it like any other criminal activity. And adultery is legal - should that be illegal too? That is definitely worse than an unattached person having sex and paying for it? Or should we arrest people for cheating on their wife or husband? Genuine question.

    There are some stereotypes being bandied around. Women have hundreds of reasons for having sex with men and hundreds of reasons not to. To say it's because they have got enough from the relationship or anything like that is very reductive.

    Likewise I'd imagine there are many reasons that people go to sex workers or become sex workers.
