Just listened to a story on the radio. (Note, I hope this post isn't disallowed, if so, feel free to delete it Mods).

Had a vice cop and a prostitution support worker.

Vice cop acknowledged full knowledge of what is going on in MP's (and said so on radio, how interesting!). Prostitution support worker said "folks are sexually exploited, there ought to be a course prior to a woman being allowed to work in industry".

Thought it was interesting. The vice cop was straight up realistic about it. Said men paying women for sex will never go away (wow, someone actually said the truth in the media. I AM SHOCKED!!!! :eek:) and it's best to keep it off the streets, where women are safe (I wonder how many MP attendants have been killed in Edmonton over the same period as Willy Pickton doing his deeds? Anyone have any stats?) and things are controlled.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Prostitution support worker speaks of the vulnerable being exploited (as if they couldn't leave when they found out what the deal was, as if they have no minds of their own, as if they are children and not autonomous adults free to make decisions and decide their life come what may).

What I mainly heard was rational realism from the vice cop and paternalistic nanny statism from the prostitution support worker. I guess I shouldn't be surprised really, but hope springs eternal.

Personally, I'm not averse to an education campaign to those going into the business, full information is worthwhile. (Heck I wish there was the same thing for my profession. No one ever told me how shitty it can get. Bastards!!!!). However, it is a fruitless effort to try and stamp out prostitution because it ain't gonna happen.

A few reason follow:

1. Men always pay. Be it time, professions of love, marriage, money, gifts, emotional support, men always pay.

2. Women really do believe they are free to do with themselves as they will. Most aren't interested in prostitution, but some (and there will always be some) understand that they can make money off their bodies serving men's desires. No duh! It's kind of like a "wifely duty" but drop the wife part.

3. Efforts to stamp it out have never succeeded anywhere ever in history that I've ever heard of unless someone can point out the situation to me.

Uhhh, well, discuss... I guess. I've said my piece.

Course contents?

I listened to the same interview & agree with your comments. If the City wants to require a mandatory course (similar to John School) before issuing an Escort license, I can't see the harm, other than it being a way to squeeze a few more bucks out of the ladies' pockets & add some more red tape.
The real questions is what the "curriculum" of that course would look like: Would this be neutral, objective information, like "what are the risks SPs face in their line of work and what can you do to keep yourself safe?" or would this be more of the same.....ideological religious feminazi bullshit indoctrination brainwashing camp....

BTW peaceguy the meaning of "John School" is not to be a seminar to prepare rookie pooners for the hardships and demands of their upcoming pooning careers LOL. its purpose is more to meter out quick punishment without due process or trial (shaming brainwashing breach of privacy humiliation public outing....)

New Info

John School sounds like Reefer Madness. Would anyone who has been there care to start another thread letting us know what the course was like for them? It should be entertaining.

As for the training manual, it has already been written. Do a search for "Trade Secrets". When the laws are repealed I expect the Salvation Army will write an alternative manual. It will be up to a strong industry association to fight against the Salvation Army version.

My present favorite for an association name is;

Adult Entertainment Association of Canada or "AEA Canada" (Eh Canada?)

People with way more cred than me have adopted;

Canadian Adult Entertainment Commission or CAEC

You either lead, follow, get out of the way or get run over.

Trade Secrets

My comment about Trade Secrets being available as a course was just a smartass response to Peaceguy's comment "If the City wants to require a mandatory course (similar to John School) before issuing an Escort license, I can't see the harm,".

Trade Secrets is the guide for the Adult Entertainment industry prepared primarily by Annie Temple. It is her intention to continue improving it with feedback from all who are interested. You can provide comments at the end of each section. Here is the link:
