Independent Bristol Escorts

When starting your search for an escort, it is only natural to feel uncertain about where to begin. The escort service industry is huge and at the same time hidden. Finding the correct service that corresponds with your likes and needs can make you feel you are drowning. A useful place to start finding an escort is with an escort directory. These directories list escorts from various towns, counties and countries and offer a range of functionality to search for an escort providing a variety of services in a budget constraint. Understanding how to find and use these directories can simplify your search, allowing you to find an escort who matches your requirements and needs.

There are many types of escort directory. Some directories cater to different niche requirements.  Most will cater for a country area, though some are global. Some directories target specific countries. There are also directories which target individual cities.  Meanwhile, others specialize in particular types of escorts, such as BBW (Big Beautiful Women) escorts, high-end escorts, dominatrix escorts, or “fly me to you” services, where the escort can travel to a specified location. Choosing a directory that caters to your desired escort type and the location where you'd like to meet is essential for a smooth search.

When you select an escort directory, it is crucial to ensure it is well-maintained, moderated and up to date. Directories where the escorts frequently refresh their listings reduce the chance of outdated information. This is useful so that those escorts who may no longer be working, or have moved locations, or are otherwise unavailable are not listed. The display of outdated listings is very frustrating. This becomes particularly frustrating when you spend time contacting an escort only to receive no response. Sometimes the escort may have moved to another country or state. Up-to-date directories save time by providing accurate and accessible information. Some directories promote the position the listing appears in when it is updated. This makes for a more reliable selection.

Once you've found a directory, there are several features to use to aid you in finding a delectable escort who meets your preferences. One of the most important, indeed primary factors is location: are you able to meet her locally, or is she willing to travel to the hotel you are staying in?  Most directories allow you to select escorts by location, ensuring you can meet your potential choice.

After finding an escort for the location, you may have certain preferences for your ideal escort. Physical appearance, personal style and services. Directories often include detailed profiles, specifying attributes like age, height, body type, and even personal interests or styles. Many directories offer search filters for these characteristics. This helps you refine your search and reduces the number of escorts potentially you need contact. If you’re interested in a specific age range, body build, or other attributes, including services, finding a directory that allows filtering can be make the task easier.

In addition to physical attributes, it's important to check the specific sexual services the escort provides. Escort listings often outline the services available, using obscure three letter acronyms.  It is still important to confirm with the escort that they can accommodate your specific requests. This is especially true where you have complex role playing scenarios. Some directories allow you to search for specific services, offering only escorts that provide the searched for service. This helps to reduce the selection of escorts based on your requirements. Direct communication, by email, messaging or voice can also help clarify any questions. Setting mutual expectations in advance, provides a smoother experience overall and less chance of disappointment.

Cost is another important factor in choosing an escort, prices can vary significantly depending on location, experience, age, and services provided. Many directories may allow you to search for escorts by price range. This makes it easier to find someone within your budget. This facility is useful for those seeking a meeting within their budget.

Once you've reduced your choices to a few escorts, it is time to start contacting these potential partners. Different directories provide many ways for making the initial contact. Some directories display direct contact information, such as a phone number, email address, or messaging app handle or website address. Other directories may keep contact details private and require new clients to register and communicate through the site’s internal communication protocol.  While this approach can help maintain escort and customer privacy, it may raise concerns about the confidentiality of your messages. Ensuring the directory provides a secure and encrypted communication method and storage system, can be essential for your privacy.

There are many ways to find escort directories, including performing searches on platforms like Google and other search engines.  Following links from other websites, such as an escort website Building your own list of reliable directories is a must. You may also want to visit review sites that specialize in evaluating escort directories. A good review site, such as MrPornGeek’s collection of escort sites will offer information about each directory, including the target location it serves, the types of escorts available, the search features offered by the site. Additionally, these review sites will often provide insight into each directory’s usability, and whether the listings are up to date. They should also highlight any costs involved, in using the site.

Let us summarise:

1. Escort directories are invaluable resources for finding an escort that meets your desires, sexual preferences, location, time and cost.
2. By using an escort directory which is well-maintained, and provides detailed selection criteria, you can reduce the time it takes to find the escort for you..
3. A secure communication process or up to date published contact details will help you contact the escort, verify the requirements and make a booking.
4. Whether you are looking to book an escort in your area, or book and escort when you are travelling, using an organised, efficient and well-designed directory can make your search quicker.

Three human traffickers have been sentenced to jail for their involvement in a sex trafficking ring that exploited women from Eastern Europe in brothels across South West England, including Swindon.

The group, led by 52-year-old Maciej Kozlowski, formerly of Midland Road in Gloucester, was found guilty of trafficking women and also convicted of raping one of the victims. Piotr Lebek, 57, formerly of Faulkner Street in Gloucester, assisted Kozlowski in trafficking operations, while Agata Jankowska, 37, from Stroud Road in Gloucester, and Lidia Grzybowska, 45, from Musselburgh in Scotland, played roles in booking flights, managing phones for appointments, and controlling victims' actions.

The investigation, conducted by the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit in collaboration with Gloucestershire Constabulary and Wiltshire Police, revealed that the group trafficked at least 20 women over two years, predominantly from Poland, to work in brothels across various locations.

In sentencing at Bristol Crown Court, Kozlowski received a 14-year prison term, Lebek was sentenced to seven years and six months, and Jankowska received three years and four months. All three will be placed on the Sexual Offenders Register for five years.

Grzybowska's sentencing is pending.

The convictions were secured with evidence including records of movements, thousands of messages arranging appointments, photos for online adverts, and reports of cash collected from victims.

Detective Superintendent Charlotte Tucker, who led the investigation, condemned the exploitation of vulnerable victims and emphasized the importance of recognizing and reporting signs of trafficking.

Detective Inspector Rory Ainslie from Gloucestershire Constabulary's Rape and Serious Sexual Offences Unit commended the victims for their courage and cooperation, highlighting the collaborative effort across agencies to bring the perpetrators to justice.

In the midst of economic upheaval and social uncertainty in the United Kingdom, various sectors are grappling with issues like wage cuts, job instability, and work-related pressures. Among those seeking improved conditions, sex workers face a uniquely complex challenge when attempting to unionize in a field not formally acknowledged as a workplace.

Audrey Caradonna, a representative for the Bristol Sex Workers’ Collective (BSWC) and the national campaign Decrim Now advocating for sex workers’ rights, emphasizes the urgent need to decriminalize sex work in the UK. This move would not only expand labor rights and protections to all sex workers but also facilitate their ability to unionize effectively.

While the act of buying and selling sex is legal in Britain, the industry faces stringent government regulations. Various aspects, such as soliciting, managing brothels, pimping, and advertising, are deemed illegal under current laws.

One significant hurdle hindering sex workers' rights is the classification of individuals within sexual entertainment venues, like strip clubs, as 'self-employed.' This classification denies them essential legal protections accorded to regular workers, including sick pay, holiday pay, minimum wage, and recognition by trade unions.

Audrey points out that although strippers are legally recognized as workers, the practical application necessitates legal battles to obtain worker status. Even upon acquiring this status, their workplaces cannot legally deny them statutory employment rights. However, seeking recognition through legal channels can be challenging for sex workers who wish to maintain anonymity, as judges hold the power to grant or deny it, potentially deterring individuals from pursuing their case.

Additionally, laws aimed at preventing sex trafficking, such as those governing 'brothel keeping,' paradoxically create barriers to basic employment rights and increase risks for sex workers. Street-based sex workers often face legal consequences due to laws concerning loitering and soliciting, leading to hefty fines and potential imprisonment.

Audrey emphasizes that decriminalizing brothels would provide a safer environment for sex workers to implement necessary safety measures without fear of prosecution. It would also pave the way for negotiating better working conditions for those employed within managed establishments.

The issue of stigma surrounding sex work compounds the challenges faced by sex workers in advocating for better conditions. Audrey highlights the pervasive precariousness of their work, even in legally sanctioned forms such as stripping, where the constant threat of closure or de-licensing looms over their workplaces.

Maedb Joy, founder of Sexquisite, a company supporting sex worker artists, sheds light on discrimination faced by ex-sex workers. She underscores how past involvement in sex work can lead to discrimination in job opportunities and societal ostracization, including obstacles in obtaining certain certifications.

Despite legal recognition as a performing arts and events company, Sexquisite encountered difficulties accessing a business bank account, reflecting broader issues where financial institutions often reject sex workers, leading to financial instability and increased vulnerability.

Nevertheless, progress is being made. The Sex Workers’ Union has secured compensation for stolen online content, ensured payment for a worker facing client refusal, and achieved worker status recognition for a stripper. Additionally, the union has taken financial institutions to court for discriminating against sex workers.

Audrey emphasizes the resilience and determination within the sex worker community, highlighting their eagerness to advocate for and enact necessary changes in their industry. The ultimate goal remains empowering sex workers to shape and improve their working conditions.

The plight of sex workers in the UK underscores the urgent need for legal reforms, societal acceptance, and institutional support to recognize their rights as workers and facilitate their organized efforts to secure better working conditions.

Book detailing research into the sex industry by Bristol University. This book seeks to bring to the centre the voices of those directly involved in different areas of today’s sex industry.

This research is important for two reasons. First, it addresses the ethics of who speaks on behalf of the sex industry and the challenges of producing collaborative research. Second, this work is novel in revisiting participants over time to ask them to reflect back on their experience of being involved in a research project and of being represented in a government report.

The book comes out with some interesting recommendations for policy makers, police and academics.

For policy makers
• The overwhelming issue identified by participants in this book was the legal and policy framework for the sex industry, particularly the ban on paired or collective working.
• Both brothel workers and erotic dancers/strippers identified the employment practices and working conditions in managed brothels and strip venues as being the key drivers of harm, rather than commercial sexual services per se. These include:
◊ exorbitant house fees (commissions paid to venue managers or for reception, security and cleaning facilities in managed brothels);
◊ toxic cultures (use of drink or drugs or policies which promote competition – and risk-taking – between workers);
◊ the unstable and inconsistently policed regulatory environment, which deters the reporting of crimes and perpetuates employment malpractice.
• The insecure work status of many involved in the sex industry meant that they were unable to access either welfare or income support through the pandemic. Finding ways to protect the groups least able to withstand income volatility should be the priority of all governments, in ordinary and extraordinary times.

For police
• Low trust in the police means that many sex workers will not report crime which occurs either within or outside of sex working. This allows perpetrators to act with relative impunity.
• Policing should be consistent, fair and focused on individuals who perpetrate violence and exploitation, and on reducing harm for sex workers.

For academics and policy makers
• While robust evidence is important to making good policy, repeated consultations and data collection without any resulting material change to the lives of those involved in the sex industry is damaging to trust. Short funding timeframes and shifting political and policy attention mean that the impact of such work on participants is often not recognised.
• In seeking to ‘represent’ the sex industry, we must be mindful of who speaks and why. Experiences may vary depending on setting and individual context.
• A less punitive legal framework for those selling sex and more robust social support (to manage loss of income, health challenges, becoming a parent/carer, migrating, or enduring discrimination) would better empower people to determine their involvement in the sex industry.
 

A guide has been published with information on the law relating to sex workers, and where to get help. The guide has information on working safley.

Diana R. Johnson Chair, Home Affairs Committee, Chair, Home Affairs Committee

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to stop commercial websites partly or wholly dedicated to advertising prostitution from facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation and other sexual offences.

Chris Philp The Minister of State, Home Department

Tackling modern slavery, including online sexual exploitation remains a top priority for this Government, and we are committed to stamping out this abhorrent crime. Since its introduction, the Modern Slavery Act 2015, has given law enforcement agencies the tools to tackle modern slavery, with maximum life sentences for perpetrators and enhanced protection for victims, including children.

We know that traffickers may use adult services websites (ASW) to advertise victims of modern slavery for sexual exploitation and that is why we are working closely with law enforcement partners and online companies to ensure they live up to their responsibilities of preventing their services from being used for criminal activity. Through Project AIDANT, the series of National Crime Agency-led operational intensifications, operational activity to target exploitation associated with ASWs has increased.

Furthermore, under the Online Safety Bill, all in scope companies will need to take action to prevent the use of their services for criminal activity. Illegal content will need to be removed expeditiously and the risk of it appearing and spreading across their services will need to be minimised by effective systems. For priority categories set out in legislation, companies will need to take particularly robust action. This includes sexual exploitation offences contained in the Sexual Offences Act (2003). For these offences, companies will need to consider the necessary systems and processes to identify, assess and address these offences based on a risk assessment. This might mean more resource for content moderation or limiting algorithmic promotion of content.

The Home Office is also providing £1.36m over the next 3 years to ‘Changing Lives’ for their Net-Reach project, which will tackle Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) online, providing early intervention and targeted support for women and girls at high-risk of commercial online exploitation and the risk on online sexual harm.

Looking for glamour photography poses that’ll give stunning results?

In this article, I’m going to share glamour pose ideas. You’ll find a pose or two for every model – and you can also have fun tweaking the ideas to fit your subject’s interests.

Now, some of the ideas below are nude poses – after all, posing for nudes is a part of glamour photography. But if nudes don’t interest you, that’s completely okay; feel free to skip past.

So, without further ado, let me share the poses you can use for your glamour portraits, starting with:

1. Lying down sideways

This is a good starting pose for intimate glamour shots. It works well in different settings and with different surfaces; for instance, your model might lie on a bed, on the ground, in the grass, or on a sandy beach.

Make sure you get a nice head turn and pay careful attention to the position of your model’s hands.

2. Lying down at an angle

This is a variation on the previous glamour pose, and one that works well with all body types.

Simply ask your model to lie on the ground with their far elbow propping up their head and shoulders. Make sure they angle themselves toward the camera so that their feet are farther from the camera than their head.

3. Lying parallel to the camera with the legs up

This is a lovely pose with a more playful result. Ask the model to keep her upper body lifted, with her head tilted toward the camera and directed slightly down.

Make sure your model’s legs are up – and make sure her toes are pointed over her back.

And for the best results, shoot from a low angle.

4 Natural poses for natural looking results.

I shot a model and used the curvature of the tree for her to lean back on, producing a sexy, relaxed pose.

Bristol council voted down the proposal to ban the strip clubs in Bristol. (SEV)  Bristol presently has a cap of three strip clubs, though there are only two.  A consortium of 'radicle feminists' have been campaigning to impose a total ban on strip clubs as recently happened in Edinburgh. There have been two public consultations, 2019 and 2021, that received 17,000 submissions.  The anti-strip club campaigners argue that these clubs are a gateway to prostitution and fester sexist attitudes that can lead to tragic results

Stripers argue it is just a job, and for many is pays so much more than other jobs, enabling them to lead a comfortable life and bring up their family.

Ultimately, the council’s licencing committee voted nine to one to maintain the current cap of three licenced SEVs.

Various councillors remarked that it was better for dancers to have well-regulated licenced venues rather than forcing strip clubs underground.

Several also noted that there is little empirical evidence linking sex entertainment venues to violence against women and girls.

Green party councillor Guy Poultney received a round of applause when he accused women’s rights groups of arguing “we should discount the voices of some women in order to empower them and to restrict their choices in the name of equality and take away their jobs for their own good”.

Strippers commented.

We hope going forward Bristol Council take this into consideration, and collaborate with the workers to create an SEVs licensing policy that supports their rights, instead of hindering them. Up the f****** workers.

This article is about the war on Strip Clubs promoted by the Radicle Feminists who want to save all women from themselves.

On the 28th July the decision will be made on what happens to strip clubs in Bristol.  The council wants them banned.  The consultation showed a huge majority want the strip clubs to continue.  If they are closed down, then Bristol will join 15 other councils. Edinburgh was the most recent.   The most cited reason for closing these clubs is the Lilith report produced by a woman's charity in 2003 which showed a correlation between the presence of strip clubs and assaults in Camden. The report was debunked many times, and Brooke Magnanti showed the opposite was true.

The closure of strip clubs endangers the strippers, they often end up working privately.  Exter is an example, a nil cap region, there are a plethora of agencies hiring out ‘strippergrams’, available for private home bookings. The risks this poses for sex workers – who are disproportionately likely to be working parents and/or belong to a marginalised group due to stigma and lack of resources – are obvious.

Supporters can donate to the judicial review crowdfunder to cover legal costs, and follow @unitedswers on Twitter for updates. The Ethical Stripper is an essential read for anyone interested in labour laws and how they affect strippers. 

There is an amendment which has been made to the online safety bill in the UK parliament. If this amendment goes through, it will effectively stop online advertising for escorts.  Hosting companies will be responsible for removing prostitution related advertising.  That includes twitter and escort directories.

Now, with a new law going through parliament with the intention of making online spaces safer, sex workers are worried that their jobs could get a lot more dangerous, forcing them into making riskier choices like Audrey found herself doing during lockdown.

A recent amendment to the Online Safety Bill (which will be scrutinised next week by the Public Bill Committee) will target online adverts for sexual services in a bid to stop traffickers from using online platforms to exploit victims. The Online Safety Bill is a huge piece of legislation with multiple focuses but is primarily aimed at protecting children and other vulnerable groups from harmful online content. However, the recent amendment lays out "inciting or controlling prostitution for gain" as a priority offence that tech companies must crack down on. 

Elite escort agencies like Cardiff Desires Escort Agency are recruiting escorts constantly. When considering escort work, the new escort needs to find a reputable escort agency such as Cardiff Desires. After a brief interview process, the escort can typically be up and running within a few days.

Escorting is a thoroughly rewarding occupation with excellent financial and personal rewards.

Strip clubs in Bristol are in danger. The end of the consultation period ends this Sunday.  People of Brisot are up against an alliance of Womens Groups.

On group who previosly supported the nil cap, has issued a public aplology for supporting the nil Cap. One25 stated.

“I now recognise that it was unhelpful for me to be involved with the work in support of a nil cap on SEVs as this has led to confusion about One25’s position with regards to sex work.

“It is important that I state this while the Bristol City Council’s consultation on SEVs is still open.

“I apologise for this as well as for any associated concern or upset to our supporters and to women who work in SEVs in Bristol. I will ensure that this does not happen again.”

The attacks on the sex work never ends. Strip clubs in Bristol are the target

Those against the strip clubs claim that the venues contribute towards violence against women. This argument was used many times and was used to close down strip clubs in London. THis was against the evidence presented, which showed that areas with strip clubs typically had less violence. After the removal of strip clubs, violence against women increased.

Always missing from these reviews, and always missing in the consultation by 'Womens Groups' are the strippers themsleves. As was recently written, these 'Womens Groups' have a great distain of strippers and sex workers. Their attitude and responses to questions from sex workers cause sex workers far more harm.

But she also fears for her own safety and the impact the work has on her relationship with her husband.

Lucy - not her real name - told Bristol Live: "I have stopped before but I never seem to be able to keep my head above water without it.

"You never know what is going to happen - you could lose your job or my husband could leave me.

"Sex work to me is now a safety net. It is something I can fall back on rather than being totally reliant on it."

A student who was studying and working in a call center decided to move into full service sex work. She had worked a year in the call center and found the job did not suit her. She decided to work at a massage parlour and continue with her university studies. The work at the massage parlor was far better in her opinion. She could choose her hours, work when she wanted to and earned more money than at the call center. Most of her clients were nice and respectful, many are reqular and a few only required company and chat.  Her earnings are variable for £40 in a day to over £900.

She has been sexualy asulted and raped in the past, but not working as a sex worker. These crimes happened when she was a night clubs or out on a date. Working as a sex worker has made her feel empowered.

These life stories are never mentioned by the feminists who want to close down the sex industry.

A very interesting article about leaving escorting, and how the exit strategy espoused by the end demand organisations is harmful and excludes those escorts who need to dip back into sex work to make ends meet. The article is written by Marin Scarlett a writer, activist and volunteer with the English Collective of Prostitutes.

Student escorts need to be supported. This article is about a student escort who worked as a full-service escort during her undergraduate degree and then continued after her degree. She enjoyed the job. After she wanted to leave she had no choice but to continue because of poverty and then started to feel trapped by the job.

It is important in this job to plan your exit strategy, save your money and invest it to secure a way out in the future. (editor)

She then approached counselling and found no help. She was even discharged from a rape recovery centre because she was deemed as putting herself in debt. 

After many years she finally met a Community Psychiatric Nurse who believed her and told her there was no shame in being an escort.

From her experience, she has set up a group called Support for Student Sex Workers, a sex worker-led organisation. It is the only one in the country.  Her group has trained universities throughout the UK.

It hurts her that people have said we are ‘pimping out’ our students because it simply isn’t true.

The arguments for and against strip clubs in Bristol. What do you think should happen. Make your voice heard in the upcoming consultation to take place in Bristo, three years after a previous consultation.

Strip clubs and escort services could lead to a substantial fall in sex crimes, new research has found.

The study, published in The Economic Journal, discovered the existence of adult entertainment venues triggered a fall in the number of sexual offences carried out close by.

"How dare you [Penny] and the Bristol Women's Commission call yourselves feminists? Closing down safe workplaces for women is an act of violence in itself.

"You only want to protect and defend the women you deem morally acceptable.

"Blaming sex workers for men's violence is the one of the most patriarchal ideas you could promote. You are not a radical neither a progressive.

"You are a misogynist."

Dreamboys, an all-male collective that has spoken out in support of female strippers, is scheduled to appear at Pryzm nightclub in Bristol on Friday.

The performance comes as local MPs seek to shut down all lap dancing clubs in Bristol by changing their licensing rules - with the council currently contemplating a ban on the venues.

Tuesday Laveau, who is based in Bristol and has been stripping for 16 years, told The Independent: “One of the fundamental arguments of anti-sex worker feminists is strippers and sex workers are tools of the patriarchy.

“But they have no problem choosing what men do with their body. We are not mad at the Dream Boys. They are just working.

The battle lines are being drawn. In Scotland, England and Wales are we going down the discredited line of the Nordic model. The proposed legislation is coming to both parliaments. In this article from Care, they talk about evidence. Evidence that the Nordic model and the criminalisation of the sex industry is dangerous is proven beyond all doubt, Even the recent Home Office research done by a group in Bristol University comes down on the side that the current laws are not fit, and the Nordic model is a failure.  Evidence of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland show sex workers are in greater danger.  Why is the evidence from New Zealand, and New South Wales always disregarded?  Even unintended legislation that decriminalised the Sex Industry in Rhode Island showed that decriminalisation is a better way to go. Against all this evidence, we have CARE and other organisations campaigning for the Nordic model which will do nothing to help sex workers. If you are a sex worker or an ally, then it is time to communicate with your MP, otherwise, you will find your advertising streams closed, your clients more secretive and unlikely to divulge any personal information. Are you looking to go back to the street to get clients, this happened in the US after the SESTA/FESTA legislation was enacted. 

Here is a small part of the CARE article, please read the whole article from the link.

We must explore options to criminalise the purchase of sex, sending the message that exploitation will not be tolerated.

Do we want to live in a society where you can buy sexual consent? That was the question posed two years ago in a ground-breaking report from the Conservative Human Rights Commission. It recommended that buying sex should be criminalised and people in prostitution supported through clear exit pathways and strategies. Now, two years on, are we any further forward?

The fact is, a debate about current prostitution laws is long overdue. When I say debate, I mean a proper, evidence-led, robust discussion about the type of society we want to be. Prostitution is a divisive issue, with strong feelings either side of the debate. But all campaigners agree that the current law is not working. 

Paying for sex and providing sexual services for payment are legal in England, Wales, and Scotland. Someone can sell their body for the purposes of sex and someone else can legally buy it. However, other activities closely related to prostitution are against the law – soliciting in a public place, brothel keeping and controlling others for prostitution. This confusing legal framework is unsustainable and morally indefensible. The deficiencies are summed up by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Prostitution, who, in their 2014 report wrote:

“The legal settlement around prostitution sends no clear signals to women who sell sex, men who purchase it, courts and the criminal justice system, the police or local authorities. In practice, those who sell sexual services carry the burden of criminality despite being those who are most vulnerable to coercion and violence. This serves to normalise the purchase and stigmatise the sale of sexual services - and undermines efforts to minimise entry into and promote exit from prostitution.”

Four people have been sentenced for their involvement in a prostitution ring which saw women's sexual services sold from rented homes in Bristol.

Their operation was discovered after police stopped a car on Broad Weir, Bristol, in the early hours of 28 July last year

Senior Investigation Officer Detective Inspector Mark Newbury said: “As a result of some great work by one of our roads policing officers who recognised there was more than met the eye when he stopped a suspicious car, we have successfully dismantled a prostitution ring which saw at least one woman trafficked from abroad to work in brothels.

“While we didn’t uncover evidence any women had been forced into prostitution, there was no shortage of proof they were being exploited and clear evidence at least one had been manipulated and coerced into becoming a sex worker.

I chatted with Sarah from Decrim Now about the laws around sex work and why it's an issue at the moment. We cover the current position (which is partial criminalisation), the Nordic Model (which criminalises the client), and full decriminalisation (which is what sex workers and many big unions and charities are calling for).

As I mentioned in last week's show we would please encourage you to use this template to email your MP about it decrimnow.eaction.org.uk/nonordicmodel and if you have clout or belong to an organisation that does, please sign the open letter decrimnow.org.uk/open-letter-on-the-nordic-model/

Plans to ban sexual entertainment venues have been cricitised by councillors, sex workers and the nighttime economy sector. But now the public will have its say.

Passions ran high as councillors voted narrowly to send a proposed ban on lap-dancing clubs in Bristol out to public consultation.

Licensing committee members voted 7-6, with one abstention, on Monday (March 8) to ask residents and interest groups what they thought of a new draft policy setting the maximum number of sexual entertainment venues (SEVs) to zero.

But the decision, which could force the closure of the city’s two city centre SEVs Urban Tiger and Central Chambers and put hundreds of mostly female jobs at risk, was described as “monstrous” and “pandering to the views” of women’s rights activists on moral grounds.

In a council survey in 2019 over a largely unchanged policy maintaining the current maximum levels at two lap-dancing clubs in the city centre and one in Old Market/West Street, two-thirds of people said they should remain open and regulated.

But a working group comprising officers and councillors, set up five years ago to review the existing policy dating back to 2011, subsequently proposed a citywide ban, which the committee has now put out to consultation after hearing impassioned pleas from campaigners on both sides of the argument.

For 12 years I worked as an escort, I also did occasional phone & cam work. I varied between working full time and part time, but around half was full time and the other half part time.

I've been put off doing one of these because of how they usually go but I'm always banging on about people making assumptions about sex workers and accepting stereotypes about us so I might as well.

To be clear, this is a thread for people who want to ask questions, not for people who just want to make a point about sex work or sex workers.

Anyway, if anybody cares...ask away

Kate claims sex work takes place on Little Ann Street, sometimes involving sex acts in parked cars.

“I don’t want to be judgemental of sex workers,” she said. “I want people to be getting the support they need.

“Sometimes I’m scared to turn the light on in my flat, when I can hear two gangs fighting outside.

Four people have been charged as part of a police investigation into the sexual exploitation of women. All have been charged with controlling prostitution for gain, arranging or facilitating the travel of a person with a view to exploitation and acquiring, using and/or possessing criminal property.

All four appeared at Bristol Magistrates Court on Thursday 30 July where they were remanded in custody.

They will next appear at Bristol Crown Court on 28 August.

Two other people were also charged with controlling prostitution for gain on Monday 3 August.

The inquiry relates to the sexual exploitation of a number of Romanian nationals at suspected brothels in Bristol and at locations across the Avon and Somerset area.

Five women connected to the investigation have been spoken to by specialist officers and offered support.

This might be a tad random, but I'm curious :-)

I've cultivated and enjoyed a full bush for a few months now.. Whilst I love to shave my legs and arm pits- I've enjoyed growing a sexy, hairy bush.

But, it may be time to - trim? Wax off completely? Prior to growing my hair out I was always waxed within a inch of my life, I liked the smoothness. I waxed every few weeks, and mostly only kept a small patch of hair. I loved the feel of both my smooth freshly waxed pussy as well as my pre wax stubble! I thought I'd skip my next wax....That was 6 months ago! It's been nice not having the pain, hassle and expense of waxing. But I think I might be bored of the bush...I've been surprised at how many people are into my hairy pussy. I love that people love it :-) But, I'm curious..

What do you think?

Hair?

No hair?

Fiona Bruce, and MP who is on the APPG group looking at prostitution. The group who in their 'research' have never spoken with a sex worker or sex worker rights organisation, other than 'rescued' sex workers and those who have the same opinions as themselves.  Fiona the 'expert' on prostitution has asked the Home Office when the research on sex work funded by the home office would be published. This was commissioned in and was published on the 30 October 2019.

I knew it had been published. There were articles about it in the press. Twitter was alive with comments. How come this 'expert' in prostitution was unaware of the publication.
