1. Seeing as I’m not American I can’t properly discuss Title II, but my interpretation of it is that it just means equal access by all people to a brothel? In my experience, assuming you have the money to pay for a service and have no visible sexual health issues, aren’t completely inebriated and are not in any way…

As it stands I do not believe there are any countries where all states have decriminalisation. There is no such thing. So the stats you are looking at are guaranteed not to be portraying and accurate picture of how decriminalisation would actually work were it on a national or international scale.

Would you mind elaborating on these policy and legal questions? I’m genuinely interested only because I feel like the same concerns and questions keep coming up and I feel like most of them are already well-addressed in places with decriminalisation well and truly in place and people just aren’t aware.

This paintitblack person is seriously so ignorant and crying about sex workers not being cared about but then flat out refusing to listen when at least two sex workers are in here trying to tell them what real life is actually like for us. It’s driving me bananas.

Ok this is like the last comment of yours I’ll reply too because after reading this one it’s pretty clear you legitimately have no idea what actually happens in places where sex work is decriminalised.

No, I’ve been told by my workplaces what to do if a condom failed or broke and given resources endorsed by the health department that say the same. This information is already out there, you’re just not aware of it because you’ve likely never been a sex worker or cared to listen to us and our advocates. I literally…

Licensing is a sincerely poor choice of regulating sex work. It opens sex workers up to all sorts of blackmail and exploitation by authorities and others who have access to that type of information.

Well that’s fortunate because what Amnesty is advocating for is not legalisation but DECRIMINALISATION. There is a huge difference and decriminalisation works unlike both leglisation and illegalisation.

Boys already know this, sex work has been around for most of civilisation. If you want to end the entitlement issue, you need a cultural shift in the way gender is constructed. In the mean time, and forever afterwards, you give sex workers the rights they deserve and NEED. Taking away sex worker rights and safety…

You know how you can answer all of these question? Talk to a sex worker. And you better believe that there are MANY sex worker voices out there that have answered all of your questions if you took a moment to listen and I think you’ll find that we’re all just fine and doing okay. Some of us do not have an issue with…

I doubt this will make it anywhere most people will read it, but I really need to point out that reading over the comments in here it’s quite clear that most people don’t know that there is a difference between legalisation and decriminalisation. There is a HUGE difference and the later is what many sex workers are…

THANK YOU
I am also a sex worker who was raped on the job. Basically they’re saying we don’t know what rape is because everything we experience is rape so we don’t know any different. Fuck that noise. I know the difference between clients I consensually engaged in sexual acts with and the one that I didn’t. It’s bloody…

I’ve actually seen him paint in person (Sexpo Australia ftw) and he doesn’t actually use a paint brush (well not when I watched him anyway -lucky, unlucky?). His foreskin and head of his penis are the paint brush. So there’s that. But yeah he’d defs be getting some paint up in that urethra anyway.

I’m super late to this party but does the French Revolution ring any bells? Clearly also a country “born out of violence” yet has none of the problems with violence as a solution...?

Pretty sure the point of decriminalisation is to bring it out from the underground and “dark” and normalise it in wider society so that those who are suffering, coerced, feel they have no other options etc. can feel safe to access help while continuing to work if they so desire or finding other options without being…

Fortunately for sex workers like myself the majority of sex workers and sex worker grass roots and advocacy groups disagree with you. The Nordic model is frequently criticised and widely regarded as damaging, ineffective and downright dangerous amongst us and anyone who actually cares to listen to our concerns and…

How is keeping the actual livelihood of sex workers -i.e. men or women that pay for sex worker services- actually helping to empower and give rights to people? Not to mention in countries where both buying and selling sex is decriminalised (Australia, for example and I imagine in many other places) - brothels are…

It's actually more like the actual "slap" itself is just a catalyst for all these other story lines and events to unfold. All the respective characters are at this one party and the incident is just a segue into a whole lot of other story lines such as (maybe spoilers) affairs, mental illness, homosexuality,…
