BP is up for now but for how long I wonder. This bill is very broad. Heck, I've seen known providers with profiles on Plentyoffish and AdultFriendfinder. will this shut down legit dating sites too? Originally Posted by ndbbmo

They claim this was all about trafficking. But that's a lie. The ultimate goal is to kill prostitution on the open internet. They won't be able to. But they will make life pure hell for a lot of people. And set further precedent for killing free speech that will have ramifications for all of us...and forever.

Its sad, this is the oldest profession in the book and if they would just legalize it the country would make billions off the taxes from it. Originally Posted by Angel T

And yes the revenue they would collect on taxes would knock the federal deficit down. But, how many hookers actually pay their fair share taxes, and not "cook the books"?
Wack-a-mo They shut down one section and everybody moves to another Services/theraputic services and gigs already heating up. Stop blaming Trump he had to sign this because of recent headlines but this is all Mike Pence and the Evangelicals. The only way religion can survive is if you force your ideas on others.

See since its a cash business what you doing make the hookers register and pay yearly for a membership card that allows them to work and also make them get tested every month or lose their card for a set amount of time.

If it legalized, more will be willing to take CC so that can be taxed.

I have seen that the DOJ has already waned that this bill may be unconstitutional. That being said, the legal fight could drag on for a long time. which becomes a lot more costly for defendants paying their own lawyers than it does for taxpayer paid government attorneys. The old "you may win in the end, but is it worth the cost"?

what websites will the girls go to now?
other than backpage n listcrawler?
POF?
So whats the overall order of places to check now ? Id check CL every so often to see if there was anything but most of the time it was bots posting. Sometimes youd find something that was either a hook or just a woman who wanted sex.

But now with CL down and BP just slowly degrading there isn't much variety of people or there's just nobody new posting in Rochester.
How about INDYS & EROS ??

Guys, if ya go in for a visit remember, wear pants that do not need belt or suspenders. Been a few years so I forget why. But them hotels hate belts n suspenders. A hotel in Penn Yan I got ta keep my belt. But put us in a room with a glass wall with a talk hole. Kinda like a Bank LOL

What most informed hookers want is decriminalization. Not legalization. In Canada, for instance, escorts run their business how they want without fear of the law. In certain counties in Nevada, escorts must work under very limited and restricted guidelines if they want to be legal. One is decriminalized and one is legalized.
