Glad, Tokyo is super safe country, and hopefully no politician will go, Japan should follow America, UK.lol.

Pink society is too gigantic that maybe it'd be impossible to control censor in Japan.

So sorry to hear, mongers in the UK have to struggle "sexless life" in any moment. Come to Tokyo, if you want good, stimulating sex or blowjob, at least!

Some alternatives in Europe where SW is legal and regulated. However, in some cases, even if it’s legal and regulated there are still many illegal workers on the streets. Refugees may turn to prostitution despite being unwilling to do so.

Oh, no... Please don't let this become reality... So sick of all this SESTA/FOSTA. And the Nordic model, too. Claiming to help people, but what it really does in reality is making life unsafe and difficult for sex workers

Very helpful and clear graphic, @Simonka. Thanks!

I thought they were under this horrible EU dictatorship which prevented them to have their own laws and government
Anyway, it’s going to be a moot point soon, with Brexit. Or not. Given the recent episodes of this saga who knows what may happen next.
In fact I am in favor of a pan-European legislation on this , which would be liberal for the legit activities (and they should pay taxes , by the way) and very harsh for the human trafficking / sexual exploitation criminals. The German model seems to be good.

“Based on income” thats the most Swedish thing ever!
And that 8 euro fine, lol. That seems more symbolic.
Don’t monger in Iceland though!

Quite hilarious chard. Does “legal but not regulated” mean the same as “decriminalized”?

It means “Brothels are illegal” I think.

Yeah but there is also a “legal and regulated but brothels are not” option.

Legal and regulated usually means SW have to register

Legal but not regulated - no registration

I’m not 100% sure, I can’t even keep up with the legislations in my country anymore. Things change all the time

Having to register is really creepy imo. Its still a stigmatized job so who says the government doesn’t suddenly turns against SW?

 

[Simonka]

government doesn’t suddenly turns against

You don’t have to be a SW in some cases

 

[User#8628]

?

?

I mean governments turn against a variety of people, for different reasons other than SW

Fair enough but the less they can hold against you the better and being registered as part of a group of people thats stigmatized already is pretty concerning.

 

[Frenchy]

... Ah, the irony of wanting at the same time to stop being stigmatized in theory, but in practice being perfectly OK to work illegally and not being subject to taxes, regulations, registrations etc.. hope it could be the same in my biz

 

[Simonka]

but in practice being perfectly OK to work illegally and not being subject to taxes, regulations..

Umm no?
Nobody has said they are perfectly okay with what you have listed above

 

[Frenchy]

Nobody said so but it’s kinda implied isnt it? What I meant is that you can’t have your cake and eat it too: either the biz is fully “normalized” which will involve some forms of registration , taxes, regulatory oversight etc... or not. What do you prefer?

Normalized of course.

 

[Frenchy]

Normalized of course.

Thanks! (And by the way there are other professions which are both “normalized” AND stigmatized, politician for instance! )
