Is prostitution legal in your country?

[DaWhore]

I’ll get the ball running.

Canada = Yes, prostitution is legal. **
 

**Paying for sex is not legal.
 

In other words, they arrest clients. Well, on paper. Widely ignored.

Well well. Are not legal, but also are not illegal here on Brazil

Austria, Europe. Yes, as long as they pay their taxes (no kidding). It‘s all about taxes here. My country should be renamed in Tax-as.

Taxes are an issue in Canada.

Since the revenue is not legal, it's not declared. You do need to provide a legal source of income every year. So the bulk of sex workers end up on welfare for income purposes.

They made a mess pussy footing around the issue.

How common are they? The brothels and streetwalkers.

Not quite correct vis-a-vis "only legal in brothels". As long as a provider of said services has a valid PCA Number, they're all good to go - but after 1 December 2023, it seems that this will no longer be required, as paid consensual sex work will be fully decriminalised in Victoria: [think before following links] https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/licensing-and-registration/sex-work-service-providers/decriminalising-sex-work-in-victoria

They've both been on the decline - but are more than likely to increase from 1 December 2023

That's great news. If it works there, it might spread countrywide.

That map is wonderful.

It indicates that Australia is very much a prostitution-friendly country. You have all the flavors of ”legal” over there. It is a bit unique.

If I had to work down under, I’d just avoid the green zones if possible.

Entirely legal in New Zealand (except for foreigners on work visas who cannot undertake sex work).

I noticed Brazil mentioned in this thread.  Now, I have been three times  and I had some interesting encounters with this whole situation.  The first, which really pissed me off, is I stayed at a 5 star resort during the Christmas/NewYear's Eve period.   In the room next to me were four young men from NY who were Jewish, wore black long sleeve pants and dress shirts in that God awful heat.  Then New Year's Eve came around, and my hotel faced the ocean and you could see the people dancing in the streets and celebrating.  I also heard, and noticed, that the chairs and table from my patio had been moved.  It turns out that these fine young NY men had four female guests, all wearing skirts pulled up to their, you know, area.  Earlier in the week I had invited a woman up for a drink to my room along with my bf at the time.  Security grabbed me in the lobby (in their three piece suits - they didn't look like "rent-a-cops"), and told me I could have drinks with her, but only in the hotel lobby.  So imagine my surprise to find the four young woman next door, having cocktails, and wearing little or next to nothing.  I called the front desk immediately and reported the removal of my patio furniture.  So I inquired as to why my fellow guests could have "visitors", and I could not.  The man from the front desk politely told me if I wanted any kind of "companionship" it needed to be requested through the front desk, and they used certain "services" where the employees provided had been "screened" and were safe to have in my  room.  So in other words, if I wanted an escort for the evening (or hour I suppose) it had to go through the front desk of the Rio Palace Hotel.  I was  pissed not to be told of this rule.

Secondly, the summer Olympics were in Rio in 2016.  All you saw were billboards asking sex workers to get tested for STDs as the city was about to have many foreigners and they would be quite busy during that time period.  It seemed to me the Brazilian government, or Rio's local officials, turned a blind eye to the whole subject.  Either way, if you wanted sex and were willing to pay for it, it was available.

So Brazilian posters, what do you say about my experiences ? I didn't post about smuggling a guy up through a service elevator or going to a sex club because  there were no charges for the men I met in those instances.

So why the double standard????
