Does Jim Coleman have nothing better to do with his life than harass men and women going about their lives *as they see fit*? Who on earth is he to decide what is and what isn't acceptable? Has God died or something?

That's their choice, dude. ;-) Seriously, does Ayatollah Coleman think every woman that takes up prostitution does so under duress? For some, it's a viable career and much more preferable to working in a factory for 10 hours a day on minimum wage. Equally, not all men who visit prostitutes are trainee rapists.
It's like living in some theocratic backwater where the idea that human beings have sex, sometimes pay for it, and even occasionally enjoy it appalls the high priests of morality like Coleman.

I remember the same Mr Coleman saying the same kind of things following Ms Ekberg's visit to Glasgow in October 2003.
As a regular visitor to Stockholm, I can tell you that while the visible aspects of prostitution on Stockholm's streets have largely disappeared, there is growing evidence and concern that the measures have not eradicated prostitution, but simply driven it underground. There is also clear evidence that the 'ban' in Sweden has simply shifted supply to neighbouring countries, with Finland in particular suffering a huge rise in female trafficking.
Also, whether the Swedish model would work in Glasgow is highly debatable and I'm sure if you ask Ms Ekberg she will be the first to highlight key differences. In particular, Sweden has provided a [bold]hugely expensive[/bold] social welfare safety net to former prostitutes by offering them additional, costly services such as [bold]housing, education, training, drug rehabilitation programmes and increased welfare[/bold].

If men fear arrest, the women will limit their services to 'outcalls'i.e. visiting men in their own or someone else's home. How are they going to legislate against that?

chedwardwall, you're right, you can't legislate against it. There's nothing to stop a woman building up a discreet clientele and relying on them for referrals/future business. It happens. At best, you can try to get rid of street prostitution but, in reality, it just moves on to another area. History will tell you that. Ayatollah Coleman isn't intelligent enough to follow history. He believes that i) he has found 'new' problems and, even better, that ii) he has 'new' solutions to these problems. He doesn't

You begin to despair at the radical feminists and femi-men, usually the ones in charge of councils ,who preach
Quote
"The Swedish move was based on the premise that prostitution should be regarded as an aspect of male violence against women."
This can only come from the chapters of the radical feminist hate men book.
Some women make a lucrative living from selling their bodies and to continue to blame men for that is ridiculous,they chose to be prostitutes.
Some of the seedier and less glamorous parts of prostitution are complex issues and were as men turn to thieving ,women turn to prostitution.
Maybe Glasgow noses in the trough councillors should address why centuries of the same political scum have left vast swathes of Glasgow in permanent deprivation and squalor and have done NOTHING to change the inequality that leads men to crime and women to prostitution.
The easy way for councillors ,MSP's and MP's to distance themselves from the very ROT that leads to this form of degrading work is due entirely to the failures of the tri-party state that operates primarily for the benefit of their RICH backers.
Address the inequality and rid Scotland of the decaying housing schemes and give decent living standards to everyone and maybe prostitution would not be one resort women have to go down to etch a living .
We are SICK of the same nonsense of blaming the ills of what women get up to on MEN .
Women have only themselves to blame for choosing this line of work and many men would jump at the chance of getting paid for having sex.The self pitying stance by the femi-men holding positions of influence only further undermines this centuries old problem while pointing the finger away from their draconian policies that see more and more of Scotlands citizens living in impoverished estates.

ELIOT SPITZER: A LESSON FOR ALL MEN
Governor Eliot Spitzer's downfall contains an almost Biblical lesson for all men: Don't be controlled by your d1ck. It will ruin your life. Sex is a powerful force. Either you control it or it (and woman) controls you. Like Samson, Spitzer forfeited his power for sex. The bankers used it to control Spitzer; they also use it to control you and I.
Men are fighting a powerful meme created by the banker-owned media. Although sexual attraction is totally based on our instinct to propagate, society divorces sex from love, marriage and procreation It perverts a natural instinct that requires cultural definition into a wantom entertainment and commodity. It proclaims anonymous sex is an end in itself, meaningful and necessary, and in Spitzer's case, worth $2000 an hour. This elevates the nubile female-prostitute to the level of goddess. Who else gets paid that much?
Sex is an appetite like food. If you don't get food, you will think of nothing else. It's the same with sex. The answer? Men have got to marry women who like sex and "forgeta 'bout it." It's time we deconstructed anonymous sex. Somehow the females have got the upper hand. Much like the diamond cartel ,they have hoodwinked males into thinking that a commodity as commonplace and plentiful as p---y is rare and precious. It's not. In Andy Warhol's words, "Sex is the biggest nothing in the world."
I'll never understand why a man would ever pay a woman for sexual "gratification." Why shouldn't she pay him? Sex is just as necessary for her. What fools we are. I wouldn't pay ten cents for anonymous sex with anyone. And you couldn't pay me $4000 to service some stranger. (Not that they'd ask.) The "prostitution ring" charged Spitzer between one and three thousand an hour! It charged $10,000 to $30,000 a night and would consider selling off their chattel for a large lump sum.
Eliot, didn't anyone tell you that all cats are grey in the dark? The excitement for a man is a woman's response to him. How responsive can a woman be to a stranger? In casual sex, both parties are miming what they think should be happening, rather than admitting that the experience is empty and degrading.
IN PRAISE OF MASTURBATION
Masturbating is a far better solution for single men than anonymous sex. Do I have to list the advantages? You have your fantasy woman and fantasy situation. After, she's gone instantly. And there's no chance of pregnancy or STD. Oh yeah. It's FREE. And, often it's better. Let's deconstruct the fertile female while we're at it. Having lost her ability to love a man, most young women today are themselves scrawny men, with narrow shoulders, a couple of feed bags on their chests, and an unsightly jungle below.
They are pretty much physically identical. As one wag said, "Put a clock in it." Yet despite the tedious nature of the product, they have been selling it like hotcakes from time immemorial. The only thing that differentiates women is talent, character and personality. But most young women today seem content to compete on the basis of sex appeal alone.
I love feminine women, the kind that marry and sacrifice for husband and family. The kind that understand that femininity is the opposite of masculinity. We live in a culture that promotes arrested development by inflating the status of women and teaching men to pander to them in exchange for sex, like dogs getting a treat. Of course women tire of this, and men end up neutered and alone.
Eliot Spitzer spent too much time overachieving and didn't develop emotionally. Part of that requires getting sex out of our system. Realize how mundane it is. That there is no "there" there. With all the sex available, are men finally learning that casual sex is a bore? Men must also realize that no woman can give them what they really seek--- themselves. You get that by serving God (i.e. a spiritual ideal.)
Romantic love is a crock. Women are just companions on the journey. Real love is based on meeting mutual needs over a long period of time. It is based on sticking with someone when they're down, like Mrs. Spitzer is doing. In closing, let's learn from Eliot Spitzer's folly. Sex is used to control men. When we control our sex drive, we are free to serve a higher master.

This is about a council allowing militant religionists and feminists control a moral agenda. Which we, of course, will pay for! ScotsGay has been banned in Glasgow's Gay Centre and if you read the Scottish Media Monitor online you will know male sex workers don't get it any easier. (So to speak)!

I'm neither for, nor against prostitution. But the way I look at it is, it's better for a man to pay a prostitute than to rape innocent women and children. And besides, there's NO way anyone is going to ban that profession, not in this lifetime anyway!!

The best approach to 'prostitution' is to help sex workers protect themselves. Driving it underground is not the answer. Not all men can get off on X Tube or their one wife for life. The Internet is revolutionising sexuality and men (gay and straight) are experimenting like never before. We have never before been permitted to express our largely testosterone sex drives. We are now. (All that is except perhaps Jim Coleman)! Yes, the same man who protested at an exhibition of erotica - that had otherwise been fine in most other cities - at the SECC. I believe he also hired a hall and gathered militant religious cronies to protest.

Why don't we copy Germany where brothels are legal and well regulated? I can tell you that the girls working there are well educated, good looking and earn good money.
The girls are safe and look after their health as well as, or better than many girls who don't work in brothels but who are single and meet multiple partners.

There are a number of things i want to pick up on in this thread. Firstly, i am seriously annoyed at the Evening Times for not allowing us to comment on the headline story about the raid on a sex shop. So much so that i have emailed them :
[quote]"Dear Mr /Mrs Evening Times !
I am dismayed, yet not surprise at your continued censorship of what your readers can discuss in the ‘add your comments’ section. The early edition of today’s paper lead with the raid on a sex shop. However, you chose not to let the readers have their say on what would appear to be your main story at that time. This strikes me as censorship, which is not in my view the role of a newspaper, and undermines the credibility of your product. The nature of the story, and its headline status clearly indicate that there is a public interest perspective to it. Which is why I am annoyed enough at your censorship to write this email.
I am an avid user of the site and this is not the first time this issue has reared its ugly head. Surely the time has come for you to have a transparent and open policy for the ‘comment section’ in relation to what we are allowed to comment on. A simple policy of all or nothing would appear to be the best option[/quote] "
Please feel free to annoy them yourself :-)
Anyway, back to the Coooncil policy on sex, sex for sale ect ect. these people are voted in to run polic services in the city. Not to impose their moral judgement on me or others. If i want to buy sex toys or ****, or saucy underwear, it should be none of their feckin business.
The sooner they get the message the better cause i and many others are sick of it, remember the taxi advert for the underwear advert'.
If they want to talk about morality, why do we have ultimate fighting contests advertised on the subway, why do we have adverts glamorising gambling on the subway, ??
There are a number of things i want to pick up on in this thread. Firstly, i am seriously annoyed at the Evening Times for not allowing us to comment on the headline story about the raid on a sex shop. So much so that i have emailed them :
"Dear Mr /Mrs Evening Times !
I am dismayed, yet not surprise at your continued censorship of what your readers can discuss in the ‘add your comments’ section. The early edition of today’s paper lead with the raid on a sex shop. However, you chose not to let the readers have their say on what would appear to be your main story at that time.

I really do wonder what is going on behind closed doors at Glasgow City Chambers in terms of policy development: some of the stuff coming from the decision-makers is so totally off-the-wall that it beggars belief.
My own interpretation is that New Labour are so preoccupied with selling off the city's assets that they are looking for increasingly bizarre stories to fill the local press, so that local journalists don't actually go after what's really happening.
[bold]Whatever is going on, it's time to get rid of this mob in George Square and let's really start to deal with the root problems holding our great city back.[/bold]

Why don't we copy Germany where brothels are legal and well regulated? I can tell you that the girls working there are well educated, good looking and earn good money.
The girls are safe and look after their health as well as, or better than many girls who don't work in brothels but who are single and meet multiple partners.

I do believe that prostitution and all adult **** - straight and gay alike - involving *consenting adults* should definetely be decriminalised completely, though there is an agenda by politicians to ban sexual material and censor the internet.
Take that horrific case last week whereby a woman was gang raped and the beasts posted it to online video sites. While rape is a despicable act, TPTB should be focused on removing the scum from the streets, but instead the headlines screamed "internet rape", blah blah etc. (an authoritarian's wet dream) which will lead to pushed to making the mere posession of "violent and dangerous" images (measured at the whims of police and judges of course) and many consenting adults could well be jailed and their lives ruined for looking at anything (consensual or otherwise) the powers that be don't agree with and placed in the same category as paedophiles.
Think about it.

It's interesting how many of these posts appear to be by men.
Research has shown that almost all known prostitutes in Glasgow are doing it because of drug addiction and that they do not perceive it as a genuine choice in the way that someone else might choose between shop work & office work.
In addition, many prostitutes working in the tolerance zones in Amsterdam say that organised crime, violence & control by pimps is much higher than in the "illegal" areas.
As for one poster's point that women shoudl be prepared to pay for sex with men- aye, right.
Firstly, use of prostitutes seems to be a predominantly male pursuit.
Secondly, if the posters on this site are representative of the male population of the west of Scotland are anything to go by...I think we women would be looking for a refund.

According to all the Swedish delegations who have come to Glasgow on this issue in recent years, all they had to do was make prostitution illegal and then nobody did it any more. Rather like the smoking ban. If it's that easy why don't we just do it? The easy answer, I suppose, is that the laws are made by men. I'd like to hear what women legislators think. Margo Macdonald?

Eliot Spitzer was the Governer of New York, although the are all doing the same thing.
Eliot was at it for 6 years, (or so the story goes) and his wife did not know what was going on, yet she was at his side when he was telling the public that "he was sorry for being a bad boy" he change his life in politics, lost a great job.
He also has three teenagers wonder what they think about him.
He gave the prostiture over $4,000, and has spent over $80,000 on her through the Emperor club.
He was in their books (or so the paper says) as #9, it also said that 1-8 was Charlie Sheen.lol.

I used to work with male an female prostitutes. They arent a different breed.They are someones daughters, sons, sisters brothers, mums and dads. I honestly thought have to wonder at men when I watched girls so out of their faces on drugs being carried physically into a car an then being dumped back at the place they had been picked up still out of it. Many of them kept theirs and others drug habits going through selling themselves. I met only 2 women and 1 guy who sold sex because they enjoyed it in a career spanning 10 years. Necessity is as necessity does. Its the oldest profession in the world it wont ever be eradicated but driven underground which is where I believe our leaders would like it by 2014

There is nothing wrong with paying for sex. Prostitution (I prefer “working girls”) is the oldest profession in the world, even older than religion. Those who argue the point (i.e. city councillors, MP’s, PM’s, Police, Religious leaders...the list goes on) are hypocrites! I’ve seen brothel’s all over the world which are run properly, some are even run by the State. This keeps the working girls off the streets. Britain should follow suit. The girls would be looked after properly, and be in a safe environment. And, at the same time, the government would make billions from the income tax the girls would be paying.
