That's not an excuse. Good guys are always taken ( unfortunately !) but it doesn't mean the usual clients are only te ones with a bad breath or smelly feet. :laugh:

I don't bother to look for solutions. It's illegal but tolerated. The city is full of legal erotic parlours that hides ( do they? ) such activities. The papers are full of offers of young ladies in search of fun and protection. Even the TV programme guide paper has the last page full of "meaningful" pics associated with phone numbers. The TV news acts like promotors of a sexual tourism. etc. etc.

There's no solution for it. I don't mind if it exists but to cover it under a legal blanket is too much for me.

I don't see it like a danger. In my opinion there are some things that even if they're posible or not forbidden they "aren't nice".

Really? On my way home I can easily count 4 such establishments

You should work in my office. :laugh: Not that we share our experiences but our vocabulary is really toxic.

Maybe this will help the situation:
Robotic prostitutes could replace human prostitutes by 2050

The thing about prostitutes is that they are mostly illegal here in the United States, they carry diseases and sometimes they just get tuckered out. But by the year 2050, concerns about spending an evening with a lady of the night could be a thing of the past.


Researchers at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand wrote in the journal “Futures” that sex robots are not only possible, but could be better than real-life prostitutes.


“Sex robots are absolutely inevitable… in fact they already exist,” Michelle Mars and Ian Yeoman point out.

Even if covering it with a legal blanket means better protection for the prostitutes, improved medical care, reduced risk of trafficking, underage girls or IV drug abuse and better employment conditions?

Not liking prostitution is not the same as turning a blind eye to the plight of many prostitutes in a profession that is currently illegal and therefore underground and unmonitored.

Maybe it's a thing I can't really understand. But I'm a bit drunk now and can't comment anymore.

Oh NO !!! Another movie star turns left and takes the "Hershey Highway" I bet it is real pleasant around the Travolta family today :) Well who will be next to "Rump Up" sean connery. I always thought it was a bit strange for a man to lay there and another man rub his body, especially when so many beautiful women are available.

I see that all of you don’t consider prostitution as immoral. So how many of you admit they used to go to ”the girls” ? And if you did , had you the courage to admit it in front of your wives, girlfriends, friends, family?

I would have started a poll but I don't know how.

The closest I've got to it was visiting stripper clubs when they first appeared in Romania. Never paid for sex though.

I think this is the result of the misinformation that has been fed to people in Romania, mixed with the 'high' moral grounds inoculated by the ultra conservative ortodox church whom are against legalization of prostitution, for whatever obscure reasons. Rather sad.
