Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS Sex laws are so screwed up! CANADA has it right, if they follow thru and use the suggestions I will give them UGANDA, are they kidding? what idiots, gay guys get 25 years in prison and gay girls get 7 years in prison? Whats your thoughts?
Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS I think that is awesome to legalize prostitution! If it is legalized it can be regulated much easier & safer for people that have no harmful intensions towards society.. Not to mention I am sure there is a huge brick lifted off the shoulders of people who may already carry a lot on them. This is great news, thanks for sharing! xoxoxo
Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS We all miss you!!!!!! I texted you when you were in the hospital, hope your better and back soon!! Here is the trick in Canada, they are going to legalize there, but if they make it ro restrictive like really high fees, hour of operation limited etc etc it will drive the biz underground and not get anywhere.
Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS Encouraged that Canada eased up but I am concerning that street soliciting is legal because hard to control STD without testing. Uganda clearly over the top punishing for homosexuality.
Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS I like the Nevada legalized prostitution laws just the way they are. I don't care if anyone, anywhere else ever legalizes prostitution. I like having a "corner" on the market of safe, legal, regulated sex for sale in the USA.
Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS I agree - The street soliciting is not just dangerous for the client when it comes to being able to count on tested girls --- It's also dangerous for the girls. I don't think you can beat the brothel model where everyone has a safe place for sexual congress.
Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS im still amazed how the world views the brothel scene we r solving problems and taking care of people !!!!!
Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS I find it interesting that the article is mostly about same sex marriage. Perhaps those who are accepting of gays are equally accepting of prostitution. I have one question: Has anyone ever encountered a scantily clad woman soliciting beneath a lamp post? I am talking real life here, not the movies nor cartoons. I have been in several major cities in the world. I have been in red light districts in San Francisco, Paris, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt to name a few. I have been occasionally "approached through the years, but never by a scantily clad woman under a lamp post.
Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS Well of course I will say that I think there should be legal houses everywhere in all states. I think that the money it generates can make a small town grow. It produces jobs for many. In bigger metropolitan areas I think it would be helpful to have legal houses to keep girls from getting hurt from Pimps, and Jons on the street. Safe from diseases. Might even control population/unwanted pregnancies and crimes like rape. I see no reason why sex for money is frowned upon. It is a natural thing to do. It is never going to stop. Just deal with it. Good going Canada!
Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS This will be one of the greatest thread ever! All information you read daily in one place. I agree with you Dennis about if you make it so restrict , you will still have underground prostitution where girls will not be safe.
Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS it WILL happen here when the politicians tax the hell out of everyone involved in the sex industry.sportsbetting is legal only in Nevada & NJ because the smart guys in Washington haven't figured out how to get their piece of the money tax pie yet.its ALL about the money and be carefull what you wish for cuz obamacare has to be funded and paid for somehow and taxing dennis,all brothels and the ladies who work there and the customers is a cash cow this greedy government would love to get in on.dont think for a second the dear leader hasn't taken keen notice what Canada just did.
Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS Well said, my concern is that Canada will impose such hi taxes the borthels won't make sense.
Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS This was sent to me by a poster, can you see the government guys and gals sitting around making brothel rules ? <a class="postlink" href="http://www.insidecounsel.com/2013/12/26/canadian-supreme-court-gives-one-year-for-revision?t=labor-employment" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.insidecounsel.com/2013/12/26 ... employment</a>

PORN BIZ IN THE NEWS OK WTF, DID MY LITTLE BIG DICK BUDDY SNEAK IN WALMARTS AND PUT HIS PORN ON THE NINTENDOS TO GET FANS? LOL An 8-year old boy got quite an eyeful Christmas morning after he opened his new Christmas gift. The boy found porn on his new Nintendo DS. The father believes the game was put on the shelf of the Hampton, VA Walmart after being returned by previous customer. Fair warning, the story contains video of blurred images on the machine shot by the affiliate videographer. SOURCE: WAVY MS: 09802738 The below is reportable with attribution to CNN Affiliate WAVY: A family in Hampton found sexual images on their son's new gaming console, a gift bought for him for Christmas. Tom Mayhew had extended family over to his Hampton home on Christmas Day. Many at the home were children, including Mayhew's 8-year-old son, who received a brand new Nintendo DS for the holiday. "He went to play his games, not knowing anything was on it," Mayhew said. "After a while, [the kids] took pictures of themselves and when the picture was taken it went to a file." But when Mayhew's son opened the file, there were already pictures in it. But not just any pictures -- images an 8-year-old should never see. "It was a shocker because we had family here, and there were a lot of kids here," Mayhew added. "The kids were the ones that discovered those pictures." Mayhew said the Nintendo DS had at a dozen pornographic pictures. He now wants to know where they came from. "There is no reason for them to be even really on there," Mayhew said. "It's disgusting for one. It seems that this was the only thing left on it." Mayhew first thought it might have been a Nintendo mistake, but now he has a different theory. "It was possibly a bought item at one time and returned," Mayhem added. "Those things were not deleted from it, so it wasn't a new product. It was a used product." Mayhew said the pictures were time-stamped in early December. He bought the handheld game console under the assumption it was new at the Hampton Walmart on Cunningham Drive December 23. 10 On Your Side called Wal-Mart's corporate office and we're still waiting to get a call back.

Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS Note: Oxytocin, not to be confused with Oxycontin LOL Oxytocin keeps attached men away from hot women The "love hormone" oxytocin may help maintain romantic relationships by prompting men to keep their distance from attractive women, a new study from Germany suggests. In the study, men in monogamous relationships who were given an oxytocin nasal spray stayed about four to six inches farther away from an attractive, woman they didn't know, compared with men in monogamous relationships who received a placebo. The oxytocin spray had no effect on the distance that single men chose to keep between themselves and the attractive woman. The results suggest the hormone promotes fidelity in humans, said study researcher Dr. René Hurlemann, of the University of Bonn. The findings agree with previous research conducted on prairie voles, which suggested the hormone plays a role in pair-bonding. In humans, oxytocin has been found to promote bonding between parents and children, increase trust, and reduce conflict between couples. And earlier this year, a study found that couples with high levels of oxytocin in the early stages of a relationship were more likely to be together six months later than couples with lower levels of the hormone. But until now, there has been no evidence that a dose of oxytocin given after a couple gets together contributes to the maintenance of the relationship, the researchers said. The study involved 57 heterosexual males, about half of whom were in monogamous relationships. After receiving either a dose of oxytocin or placebo, participants were introduced to a female experimenter who they later described as "attractive." During the encounter, the experimenter moved towards or away from the men, and they were asked to indicate when she was at an "ideal distance" away, as well as when she moved to a distance that felt "slightly uncomfortable." The effect of oxytocin on the attached men was the same regardless of whether the female experimenter maintained eye contact, or averted her gaze. Oxytocin also had no effect on the men’s attitude toward the female experimenter — whether men received the oxytocin or the placebo, they rated her as being equally attractive. In a separate experiment, the researchers found oxytocin had no effect on the distance men kept between themselves and a male experimenter. Future studies are needed to determine exactly how oxytocin might act on the brain to affect behavior, the researchers said.
Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS I can't imagine any male at the FDA would ever approve this drug!!!!! :shock:
Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS Might be a fun game to imagine the kinds of rules they would come up with! Holy Cow! :shock:
Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS Legal brothels all over could contribute to world peace or at least peace in the USA. Think of all the people who would seriously be happier people if they were getting laid. Let us do our jobs for God's sake!!
Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS Given the laws I've seen handed down and in consideration I DON'T want to think about this: it would just give them the idea to screw it up even WORSE than they could do on their own!

11 Weirdest Sex Laws in America We've rounded up the strangest sex laws from across the nation for a countdown of some truly pervy legislation. --- By Koryn Kennedy PA frowns upon truck drivers having sex in tollbooths, and the state of Utah is cool with bestiality (as long as no one’s trying to make a buck, that is). The bizarre and specific nature of these laws have us wondering just how — and how often — they are actually enforced. And if there are any Wyoming residents planning on have standing sex in a walk-in meat freezer tonight — make other plans. 1. Anniston, Alabama: If a woman loses a game of pool, it is illegal for her to settle her tab with sex. 2. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania: It is illegal to have sex with a truck driver in a tollbooth. 3. Cottonwood, Arizona: Couples having sex in a vehicle with flat wheels will be fined. The fine will be doubled if the sex occurs in the backseat. 4. Newcastle, Wyoming: Couples are banned from having sex while standing inside a store's walk-in meat freezer. 5. Tremonton, Utah: No woman is allowed to have sex with a man while riding in an ambulance. In addition to normal charges, the woman's name will be published in the local newspaper. Um... discrimination, anyone? 6. Oblong, Illinois: It's punishable by law to have sex while hunting or fishing on your wedding day. 7. Bozeman, Montana: All sexual activity between members of the opposite sex in the front yard of a home after sundown is illegal — if they're nude. 8. Connorsville, Wisconsin: It's against the law for a man to shoot off a gun when his female partner has an orgasm. 9. Utah: Sex with an animal — unless performed for profit — is not considered sodomy and therefore is legal. 10. Oxford, Ohio: It's illegal for a woman to strip off her clothing while standing in front of a man's picture. 11. Minnesota: It is illegal for any man to have sexual intercourse with a live fish — ladies, apparently, you’re in the clear.
Re: SEX BUSINESS IN THE NEWS Okay Dennis obviously I am vey low on Oxytocin LMFAO!!! The less the better!!
Same-sex Couples Shatter Marriage Records in Utah SALT LAKE CITY — In the week since a federal judge overturned Utah’s ban on same-sex marriage, the number of weddings in the state has skyrocketed, shattering records and accruing thousands of dollars for Utah’s 29 counties. As of close of business Thursday (Dec. 26), more than 1,225 marriage licenses had been issued in Utah since last Friday (Dec. 20). Of those, at least 74 percent, or 905 licenses, were issued to gay and lesbian couples. Marriage licenses in Utah cost between $30 and $50, depending on the county. With an average marriage license costing $40, counties in Utah made a grand total of more than $49,000 in the three-and-a-half days most county clerk’s offices were open this week. About three-quarters of that money came from gay and lesbian couples seeking marriage licenses in the immediate aftermath of U.S. District Judge Robert J. Shelby’s ruling that overturned a statewide ban on same-sex marriages. Salt Lake County shattered a previously held record of 85 marriages in a given day, by handing out 353 on Monday (Dec. 23) — the first full day of issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. On the other hand, Piute, a small county of about 1,500 people in the center of the state, was of several counties with no takers. Had any Piute couples requested a license, they would have been denied anyway. County Clerk Valeen Brown is on vacation until Monday (Dec. 30), officials said. So, Piute officials suspended all marriage license activity until Brown returns. Utah County — which made national news this week when Shelly Eyre and her partner Cheryl Haws declared that they would sue its clerk for denying gay and lesbian couples — was doling out certificates Thursday to all. “Moving forward, we probably won’t keep track of how many same-sex couples versus opposite-sex couples we issue licenses to,” said Bryan Thompson, the county’s clerk and auditor. “I don’t see any reason to differentiate between them.” (by Marissa Lang)
not having read everything in this thread, i'll just post this. thing is with Canada, the actual act of selling sex was never illegal... owning brothels and living off the avails, was. now, those will be taken off the books in a year. the courts have a year to come up with something else, that doesn't go against our Charter of Rights and Freedoms if they bother with anything at all. unfortunately, we have a Conservative government, who's official stance on prostitution is to follow the 'nordic model'. which means, if they can, they just might outlaw the buying of sex... OR... make prostitution in and of itself illegal. with a majority government, they can pass just about anything they want into law, they just have to be concerned about the next election and having it pass muster in regards to the Charter. under a Liberal or NDP (highly unlikely) gov, we might see even more progress, but doubtful with Harper and his cronies in power, and election due up in 2015.
Scholars: With Marriage, Tradition Has Changed Over Time As Utah tries to stay same-sex unions ruling, historians say marriage has evolved in response to social need, ethics. By Brooke Adams| The Salt Lake Tribune The state of Utah so far has banked much of its legal argument against same-sex marriage on the assertion that such unions threaten the traditional, "age-old and still predominant," form of marriage: heterosexual, monogamous marriage. That marriage form, the state says, has been the norm for Utah since its "very existence as a state" and it should not have to abandon the "deeply rooted definition of marriage as the union of a man and a woman for a genderless definition that severs the link between marriage and the vital societal purposesit has always and everywhere served." It has proved to be a shaky argument. In two different rulings — one legalizing same-sex marriage and the other decriminalizing polygamy — federal judges commented on the state’s claims about traditional marriage and its efforts to bar or penalize certain groups of people interested in committed relationships. On Dec. 13, U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups, who struck a clause from Utah’s bigamy law that criminalized polygamy, found it ironic that: "At a time of much discussion in society about problems arising from the decline in rates of people marrying or the increased age at which people decide to marry, the [bigamy] statute penalizes people for making a firm marriage-like commitment to each other, even though they know that their religious cohabitation does not result in state-sanctioned or recognized marriages." And there’s this sticky point: It is accurate to say that polygamy — which the federal government 134 years ago barred the state from sanctioning — is the marriage form "found in more places and at more times than any other," as marriage historian Stephanie Coontz notes in her book, "Marriage, A History: from Obedience to Intimacy or How Love Conquered Marriage." A week after Waddoups issued his decision, U.S. District Judge Robert J. Shelby dinged the state’s traditional-marriage argument, centered on responsible procreation and child rearing, as he found Utah’s ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. "The traditional view of marriage has in the past included certain views about race and gender roles that were insufficient to uphold laws on those views," Shelby noted. He also observed that "tradition alone cannot form a rational basis for a law." Shelby went on to quote from U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s dissent in Lawrence v. Texas that " ‘preserving the traditional institution of marriage’ is just a kinder way of describing the state’s moral disapproval of same-sex couples." In motions requesting a stay from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, the state reiterated the "age-old" and "historic understanding of marriage as only the legal union of one man and one woman," its rational interest in regulating sexual relationships and child-rearing, and its concern that Shelby failed to "consider history and tradition." But, according to historian Nancy Cott, if there is anything traditional about marriage, it is its ability to adapt to changing social and ethical needs. "Societal change over the centuries has produced new features in marriage that are commonly accepted today, although they would have been unthinkable at the founding of the United States," Cott said in a court document submitted by plaintiffs in the same-sex marriage lawsuit in Utah. Cott, a Harvard professor and author of "Public Vows: A History of Marriage and the Nation," prepared the affidavit for a same-sex marriage lawsuit still pending in Nevada. At the nation’s founding, traditional marriage was based on a "legal fiction" that married couples were one entity, led by a husband with sole legal, economic and political representation rights, she said. "Far from viewing marriage as immutable, courts and legislatures altered marriage fundamentally in order to take account of societal needs and spouses’ evolving riage form, the state says, has been the norm for Utah since its "very existence as a state" and it should not have to abandon the "deeply rooted definition of marriage as the union of a man and a woman for a genderless definition that severs the link between marriage and the vital societal purposes it has always and everywhere served."
