Is prostitution legal in Montreal?

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 07:14:51 +0000

Is there a red light district there, rld such as the ones in Holland, Germany and Brazil?

Should prostitution be legal throughout the country?

Fri, 26 Aug 2011 07:14:37 +0000

I’d like to hear some differing views on this topic. Not to stereotype, but I’m sure that some on the right feel it is immoral and some on the left feel that it is degrading to women. Are these good enough reasons for it to be illegal?

On one hand:
1) It is a victimless crime
2) If legalized, it could be regulated and made safer for men and women.
3) Practitioners could be forced to get regular AIDS tests to keep a license
4) It could be an extra tax revenue stream for the Government
5) As in Holland, it could be limited to red light districts in each city
6) It could cut down on illegal human trafficking of women from other countries because each woman would be in a registry.

I’m curious to see your viewpoints.
7) What a woman does with her body is her private business, right (same argument as abortion)
ikem- Okay, but if we based our laws on bible principles, many things would be illegal, right? In that case, it would be illegal to have an abortion, be gay, gamble, etc.
“Prostitution is legal in Nevada and they have some of the lowest STD rates in the nation. It’s when you force prostitution into back alleys with no regulation that people spread STDs.” -from another post

Is Erotic Massage Legal in all Countries?

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Is Erotic Massage Legal in all Countries?

In most of the United States, erotic massage is considered a form of prostitution, and is therefore illegal. Massage as a practice in the US is heavily regulated by respective state boards, almost all of which prohibit any act deemed inappropriate for a therapeutic setting. For example, Section 29.1(b)(5) of the Regents regulations on massage practice in New York state prohibits “immoral conduct,” which is defined as massage of genital areas and massage of a client who is not properly draped for massage, or by a massage therapist who is not properly dressed. A licensed massage/bodywork therapist is, in fact, required by law to stop practicing the moment he or she suspects that the client would like something more than a good neck rub, shoulder work, etc. While there are erotic massage services available, they advertise discreetly, and rarely mention the full extent of their services.

However, as these regulations are mandated on a State level, there is an exception. The state of Nevada allows (but seriously restricts) brothels, and thereby, some establishments there are known to offer erotic massage services. In addition to this, local newspapers will advertise the availability of escort services and “sensual massage” which, most likely, mean some sort of erotic contact. In addition to this, Canada, depending on province, allows certain forms of prostitution and erotic massage. One can find any number of “massage parlors” licensed or unlicensed in Canada. The unlicensed parlors, as they typically do not employ licensed therapists, offer specifically erotic massage.

Outside of the American continent, an array of erotic massage services, are legal to the point of being regulated industries. Amsterdam is famous for its red-light district, which includes not only coffee houses in which one can purchase and consume marijuana, but also legal prostitutes. The Dutch government registers its sex-workers, allows them to join unions, and gives them access to social services. Indeed it goes so far as to require STD testing for the health of the workers and clients. Although recent legislation has put a freeze on the development of any more red-light zones within the country, the sex-industry seems to be alive and well there. One would assume that something like a good old fashioned, and legal, erotic massage would be simple to procure there.

Among other nations, Japan, Thailand, and New Zealand stand out as havens for erotic massage. Because Japanese law is famously lax regarding prostitution, prohibiting only full on coitus, there is quite an array of erotic services available legally. For instance, one can go to a “soapland” club, in which he or she (for a fee) is lathered in soap and “serviced.” The Japanese government actually regulates these and other (non-coital) sex services. New Zealand also openly allows a regulated sex-trade; wherein one can go to a massage parlour and receive any kind of massage service. Similar to the Dutch model, the country attempts to ensure the health and safety of their sex-workers, and ensures that full on prostitution only occurs in licensed brothels.

Of course there are plenty of nations in which erotic massage is highly illegal. Most notably, Chinese anti-prostitution laws have a zero tolerance approach to any kind of sex-work for money, mandating the death penalty for “organizers” of prostitution rings. Apparently, one will not find his “happy ending” in Beijing.

User Review

Wow! This site rocks. I’ve been surfing the net trying to find information on an upcoming adventure I’m thinking about embarking on when I came across Sexmaps.net. Now, you don’t know me and probably never will, but I’ve got to tell as many as I can about this place. First let me say a bit more about myself. I’m what you’d call a young professional. I’m 28 and work for a large company here in the States. I make pretty good money and I’m single with no attachments to any specific woman. Another thing I do have is a very healthy sex drive. I try to keep up with the latest trends and in doing so I heard several people at the local bar talking about sex vacations. Hmmm, a sex vacation. What a concept. This certainly peaked my interest.

I began surfing the net by trying to find information on the topic of sex vacations. When I Google the subject I came across lots of sites. But I was really turned off by most of them. The sites I found were either only for swingers, not my bag, or were poorly done. During my travels on the net I came across sexmaps.net. Boy was it just what I was looking for. A site that not only allowed me to pick a location anywhere in the world, but it also let me find what interested me by category. Whether you are looking for a bit of fun and want to find something locally, or if you want to travel to an exotic location in search of some naughty fun. Sexmaps.net is your resource!

Now I’ve always wanted to go to one of those exotic places we all hear about. A place where the sun never seems to set and the women a free and easy. A place like Rio. All I needed to do was go to sexmaps.net and there was everything I needed to explore my trip. The home page has a built in search engine where I entered Rio de Janeiro in the Search by Location box and the type of sex business I was looking for in the Search by Business box and away I went.

This very cool site offers almost every type of sex business imaginable. For example you can search under such activities as sex clubs, TV clubs, BDSM clubs, strip clubs, massages, fetishes, male and female escort services for both men and women to name just a few. In fact there were business that I didn’t even know existed. One of the really neat things is that this site caters to specific communities such as the gay and lesbian, bi, straight, fetish, and other interests. And these are legitimate businesses, not some seedy fly-by-night rip-off joint.

The forum area was a hot. I hooked up with a couple of people who had the same sexual interest as me and was able to learn a whole lot more about places listed on the site. The reviews were helpful as well. Here I could get the lowdown, good and bad, on sexual services before I spent my hard earned cash.

Another really neat feature is the maps and the links to sex businesses. You can go anywhere in the world using the map system Sexmaps.net has. Or if you’re like me I wanted to read about what services were offered under Strip Clubs (my fantasy). I entered Rio in the location box and Sex Clubs in the business box and presto, I was given information about all the sex clubs in Rio that were listed on the site. And the description for some of them made for really good reading. In addition, the good folks at Sexmaps.net added in links to many of the businesses.

I found the user reviews to be especially helpful and fun to read. Users are invited to add their own review of a business for others to see. It’s really cool to read about real experiences written by real people. I’m sure to use a business that has a positive user review rather than depend on some paid slick writers “positive” report. Another nice feature is found under the tab marked Top Reviewers. Here you will find the best of the best reviews. I know that after reading the reviews I found this or that person written review to really stand out. The Top Reviewers tab lets me see all the reviews written by my favorite reviewer.

One of my favorite features, other than some very interesting videos and pictures (always a good thing) was something called Your Black Book. Once I became a member I could store all the information about places that tweaked my interest in one place so I could come back to them.

As I just mentioned in order to really get the most from the site you should become a member. Basic membership doesn’t cost a thing. For those of us who take our sex seriously, Sexmaps.net does offer a premium membership. Premium membership brings you added stuff like raw, real video footage of sex workers in action, user generated content, amateur videos that people have filmed in their travels around the world sampling beautiful ladies, including prostitutes and related legal sex workers. After seeing what the premium offers you can be sure that’s what I’m going to hook up with.

Did I leave anything out? In fact I did. When you visit the Sexmaps.net home page be sure to check out the right side of the page. There you’ll find several interesting sponsored links. Just below those links is a nice idea: a featured business.

Sexmaps.net is as easy to use as any site I’ve found. A simple interface, clearly marked links and tabs, and an informative How it Works tab. Very intuitive. Because Sexmaps.net is continually being updated with new content, it’s the kind of site that you keep going back to. Check it out, I think you’ll be as surprised and pleased as I was.

Site Review

I started today’s review intending to focus on those sites that promise you a sexual adventure. More specifically those sites that help you, the reader, learn about the latest thing in the world of sex: how to plan your sexual holiday. You pick the activity that meets your need then match that activity with a locale you want to visit. Presto, you’ve got a sexual vacation. Rather than look at the run of the mill I’ve decided to focus on the newest, and in my opinion, the best site.

Sexmaps.net is an interactive guide for those adventurous men, and yes even women… looking for that right location to take their sexual holiday. Sexual holidays are the very latest idea in things to do for recreation. And why not? With Sexmaps.net you have the opportunity to pick your locale anywhere in the world, select your activity and enjoy. This site gives you the opportunity to search, locate, and review all people, places, and activities having to do with sex.

The site itself is laid out in a very professional manner. There are no pop-ups or in your face porno, just straightforward information. There are seven tabs. Each clearly marked as to where they will take you. Let’s take a closer look at the world of sexual information available to you behind each tab.

First, there’s Forum. An easy to read discussion place where users can post information about their experiences or simply ask questions about where they are planning to go. It’s like a consumer’s report on what to enjoy and what to avoid.

The next tab is Review a Service. Full of useful information this tab gives you not only reviews from people who have used the service, but you get a map to locate the service and a link to its web site.

For those who are really serious about sharing information with others this next tab, Top Reviewers, is your place to be heard. The Sexmaps.net people select the best of the best to be viewed here.

The other tabs include areas for members only. One of these private areas is Your Black Book. And yes, it is just what the name implies. A place where you keep that information you want regarding your own private fantasies. Let’s say I’m looking for that very special and personal massage. This tab allows you to keep track of what you have found on Sexmaps.net that matches your desires.

Another area is found under the tab marked Submit a Service. Here you and others users can add businesses that you discover. Lastly, there is a tab entitled

How it Works. This is exactly what is found here, an easy to understand guided tour of Sexmaps.net. A quick word about membership. There are two levels: basic and premium. There is no charge for the basic service. When you upgrade to premium for a more than fair one-time charge, you’ll receive added service to make your tours even more useful, including video and photos taken by other users that show a sampling of beautiful ladies in action, including prostitutes and related legal sex workers.

The feel of Sexmaps.net is that of a high end web site. One of the things that many will appreciate is that when you go to Sexmaps.net you don’t have to be looking over your shoulder all the time wondering if someone is going to catch you visiting an adult site. No in-your-face porno or pop-ups. How does it work? Really quite well. In fact this reviewer can honestly say the Sexmaps.net is a one-of-a-kind web site. Sure there are others who claim to be directories for sexual adventure, but none that I’ve seen comes even close to doing it the way these people do.

Sexnet.net is not a static web site. It is continually adding information. This feature alone makes the site a worthwhile visit, but if you add to this the really professional layout of the site, the range of information available to the user, its ease of use, interactive maps, the custom ability to match your personal needs what you get is the complete package. Visit it soon; I think you’ll like it.

Believe It Or Not! – Prostitution Is Legal In Ireland

Sun, 20 Jun 2010 07:19:54 +0000

If you were to pick a country in Europe that was a hotbed of prostitution and sexual services, the average person would probably plump for Holland or Germany. They might consider Spain and certain areas of France. Britain would certainly get a mention as would some of the new eastern European counties that are now part of the EU such as Latvia, Lithuania and perhaps Hungary. But would the average person think of Ireland, that saintly Emerald Isle in the North Atlantic, originally known as the “Land of Saints and Scholars”? Could this be the same Ireland that was ruled so oppressively by the Roman Catholic Church over the decades after its formation as a republic?

Well, that is indeed the case. In the 26 counties that form the Republic of Ireland, prostitution is legal. In the Six Counties that are governed by Great Britain, prostitution is strictly illegal. The caveat with the law allowing prostitution in the Republic of Ireland is that many of the activities surrounding the purchase of sex are illegal. Soliciting a prostitute is illegal, for example. A potential client caught offering to pay for sex will face a day in court. Similarly, you cannot run a brothel in Ireland or covertly operate a masseuse parlour as one. Prostitutes cannot sell their services on the streets legally, though of course many do. “Kerb crawling” where punters solicited prostitutes whilst driving around in their cars was a common feature of city streets in Ireland during the eighties but the advent of the internet has made the acquisition of paid-for sexual services more streamlined and easy in Ireland. Being a pimp or controlling a prostitute is an offence however, but that is where the forbidden aspect of it ends.

What the lack of a specific law banning prostitution allows is what is happening in cities towns and indeed villages all over Ireland now – Irish and foreign girls are selling sexual services in their homes – quite legally. Using discreet networking services to promote their availability, they are breaking no law. Indeed, since the economic disaster that befell Ireland since 2008, the practise has mushroomed as cash-starved Irish colleens decided to use their bodies to provide extra cash or to make up the income from the loss of a job.

A recent online poll placed Ireland as the third best place for sex tourism in Europe, primarily because of the lack of legal sanction against prostitution and the multiplying availability of services throughout the 26 counties. As long as the laws remain unchanged, the situation is only going to get worse and when Tourism Ireland announced a major drive to draw attract tourists in 2010, this was hardly the kind of attraction they had in mind or were trying to promote.

Seamus Maguire lives in County Louth, Ireland and who writes about Ireland as a hobby, but with a passion. He runs a website Look Around Ireland?which provides detailed information and interactive virtual tours of all the highlights that Ireland has to offer to the visitor. On his website, there is a specific section called the Ireland Travel Guide?which offers all the useful information and tips about Ireland that will enhance the experience of the visitor to Ireland.?
