Student Prostitution

i totally agree i don't think the tution fees are the problems i think maintence whilst at uni is expensive and demanding!!!...to be fair if i find my self having finacial problems id probably go ask the 'rents...but not every1 is so lucky!!...or just get a high paying jobs...nightshifts at certain retail shops pay upto £10 an hour....or work expreciences sumtimes pay wages....i also argree with the other guy who said its more than not being able to pay for things its more like an addiction who wouldn't £200 every hour jeesee...but id never sell myself..theres always friends/relative who are there to help!!!1.....

....Also don't unis have a harsh fund or something like that for students who are in financial difficulties, theres lots of other alternatives....its a shame really!! these things tarnishes a person reputation....forever!!

If I were a girl with a hot body I'd definitely consider lap dancing. I'd make far more money than in any other job I could get as an undergrad.

yeah...thats a shame. do you think this kind of people would be able to redeem themselves?

Its a shame but probably not, especially if working with children. if suddenly people find out youre an ex-whore you suddenly become sexualised (which isnt a bad thing) but nobody wants a whore teaching their kids to read-children even in primary school like to gossip and really wouldnt understand what made their teacher rent themselves out. Sorry to focus on teachers but my point was that in a professional ennvironment a seedy past will ruin you, especially when you are supposed to be promoting the idea that an education will get you anywhere in life.

It all entirely depends on your moral stance. Some people find it acceptable to lapdance to earn money, others don't, so if you're willing to do that, then that's up to you. But there is a significant obvious difference between lapdancing and prostitution. And really, if this phenomenon is true, then the government should be held culpable- because the simple fact is that these girls and boys would not be doing this if they didn't have huge tuition debts to pay off. Fine, you're at liberty to be a prostitue if that is your prerogative, but I don't believe that this is these peoples' wish, as they are evidently wanting to study, presumably with the intention of getting a secure career later on.

I already knew about this trend, and the figures don't surprise me. I'm not certain, but I know of several girls who I suspect might be escorts, and a lot more who would be if offered the chance. It's a logical, if degrading, way of making a lot of money.

true...even in any other jobs ( this is my opinion ok ). If you want people to take you seriously without imagining you without your cloths one and all the stuff you have 'done' before, your image should be crystal clean. to get a good and respected job, they don't want to hear from you(or someone else): "Owh and btw i also done some lap dancing here and there"

i don't know...people should have a second chance to redeem themselves. what they did in uni might just be a mistake for them, and they might regret it and want to start over...but society can be cruel

It is sad as a lot of these people will be working in professional environments in future. If word ever got out, their credibility would go out the door.

Can you imagine being a top corporate lawyer (wanting to be taken seriously) and you keep bumping into previous clients? Oh the horror

Not only that, but they could regulate it in ways such as regularly screening the girls for STDs, almost eliminate pimps and reduce exploitation and even human trafficking. However this government has been going the other way a fair bit recently.

This is how it operates in Nevada, which has around 30 legal brothels (all outside Las Vegas - the State permits it but the city of Las Vegas does not). State law requires that there is frequent checks for STDs (none of the prostitutes have ever tested positive for HIV) and they have also required patrons wear condoms. The prostitutes make around $300 per hour while active (before tax). In the Netherlands, they can even join unions.

This seems a far preferable situation than street prostitution and pimping.

And that's your preference. But can you not see why it appeals to others who wouldn't have the same psychological issues you would? Work twenty hours a week in Tesco for £200 or spend two hours having sex and getting paid just as much for it...I can see why some people would choose the latter.

is that before or after tax?

i hadn't realised tesco were paying £10 an hour

I'd do it if I knew how, had the looks and/or had the guts!

Why the hell the government don't legalise prostitution - and more importantly, have it regulated the same way that it is in Nevada and Holland - I don't know. I'm supposed tio call my agency at uni and find out from them.

Just to ask... would it be deemed fraudelent if you were selling yourself and you also had a "legit" job?

If you read the other posts in thread, I said already that I'd been exaggerating a bit. However, when I turn 18, I will be on around £10 an hour on Sundays, so it's not that wild an exaggeration. The mere point I was making was that you could earn £200 a week in Tesco, or £200 an hour as an escort, and it's not hard to see why some people choose the latter.

It's not something I would consider. But as others have said, there's a huge gap between some people's "morally reprehensible" and other people's "easy money", isn't there?

I also don't think there's any call for further government subsidy towards degrees. I already think there are too many people going into university education, and additional funding would just exacerbate that.

Why would any prostitute want it legalised unless they were in it for the long haul is beyond me.. once it is officially 'your job' it will be permanently on your tax record and should automatically go on your CV. Presumably students who go into prostitution to get them through uni will be expecting a different life at the end of their degree (or the majority will) and I can't see the stigma being dropped by employers in the near future.

I certainly think a lot of the reasons for legalising it are good (making it safer especially) but there is another side to that coin.

It certainly isn't something I would consider but I imagine those that do would want to leave it behind pretty smart once they graduate (just my opinion). Lapdancing/stripping is probably more acceptable to potential employers by a hefty margin.

Obviously I couldn't speak on that point but do you know to what extent the drug situation affects violent crime not only in the UK but say Ecuador? I wouldn't be able to bring myself that money I'm dealing with could mean certain individuals abroad will die because of it.

I so would sell sex if I was attractive and single just to put away a little nest egg to start a pension. Why the hell not really :tongue:

There was this woman in wales who owned a "massage parlour"/brothel. She ran it really well and looked after her girls and actually turned some foreign sex slave traders to the police.

It takes them off street corners
It means it can be regulated and properly looked at
It could also raise a huge amount of taxes(i think)
Basically much better for the girls

I think that it should be legalised only in reigstered brothels so it could be regulated properly -

ergh, its not something i would do, apart from losing all the respect you have for yourself, it would ironically ruin all job prospects if it was publicised to your future employers and i dont suppose future husbands/wifes would appreciate it too
