Sorry, the above statement is false - https://jeffreylichtman.com/new-york-city-prostitution-lawyer/charges/

This is another case of "clapping with one hand" whereby there is no logical effect. Even though the police will not arrest sex workers selling their product, they most assuredly will arrest and prosecute those who make an offer to "buy" sex services. What a crazy mixed up world we have. https://www.vice.com/en/article/akgz9e/manhattan-is-moving-to-decriminalize-sex-work-kind-of

Your recommendation is an "over-kill" - Your recommendation for providers to delete all "dick pics" from an ad is quite an over-kill. Facial recognition, fortunately, does not (yet) include photos of a person's penis (soft or hard). Therefore, the only item to omit from an ad is the face photo. I hope you and your Canadian friend are still having a pleasant visit when he comes to the U.S.

If he is stopped each time he crosses the U.S. border and is still allowed to enter the U.S., then the reason for his being stopped is related to some other matter; not because he has an advertisement for being a provider. Many people are stopped for seemingly silly reasons. If he has no police record, he can apply for the equivalent to the U.S. "Global Entry" (Nexus) and would avoid being stopped each time he enters.

(1) How do you know this? (2) I travel frequently in and out of the U.S. I do not get pulled out for special screening. (3) I never had my phone taken to be inspected despite my frequent traveling. I still think that providers who advertise on rentmen et cetera should not include face photos in their ads. Do you remember the former website "rentboy" and what happened to the site and the owner and some of the employees? Please do not kid yourself. There is no more privacy. https://www.cnbc.com/2015/08/26/rentboycom-ceo-and-six-employees-arrested-on-prostitution-charges.html

With all due respect, why is there "some privacy law being violated" because facial recognition is used by DHS and many other companies? I travel a lot. I am at an airport several time each month. On my last twelve flights I did not have to show my boarding pass just before entering the aircraft from the U.S. side. At the boarding area are signs telling you to lower any mask and look at the camera as you pass it. The first time this happened with me, I felt uncomfortable thinking that my return flight would be canceled because I did not have my boarding pass scanned when I entered the aircraft. The records could look as though I were a "no show" for my outgoing flight. There was no problem with my return flight. Technology has changed and advanced to a degree that many cannot fathom. I do not see how privacy is being violated when the government has almost every adult photo in its data base. Even photos from driver licenses are in many of the U.S. data bases. Privacy is a word from history. We have little privacy left, if any. With regard to the guys from foreign countries who come to the U.S. and also have their face photo on a rentmen.eu advertisement, those guys should somehow get word out to each other to omit any face photo if they plan to visit the U.S. Words to the wise!

That describes a situation where a participant is effectively "clapping with one hand" so to speak. It is a one-way street. Without both parties involved, there would not be prostitution. To prosecute one party without the other involved party is bizarre and discriminatory. I am aware that Canada has laws that allow prostitutes to escape prosecution while the "John" is often prosecuted for the same incident. To make the matter more silly, take a look at this article about this subject: https://sharpcriminalattorney.com/criminal-defense-guides/prostitution-sting-operations-considered-entrapment/

A closing note about Sao Paulo. I just want to add that since the virus issues have been softened around the world, there are some favorable changes over the past couple of months in Sao Paulo. People are now allowed to go to most public places without wearing a mask, nor being required to carry proof of vaccination. The cines have picked up a bit (the cine on Rua Aurora particularly) but the one on Ipiranga that used to be the most full, is only a little bit busy. The Praca da Republica has also picked up a bit with several handsome garotos for rent. So, if the virus stays away, things should be good again in Sao Paulo (I hope). On my return flight back to the U.S., the airplane was packed in both business and coach. I got the last available business seat and it was in the very back of business near the restroom and galley where meals are assembled and where the crew gathers to do chores and talk. Worst seat I ever had, noise wise. Prior to my boarding, there were more than a dozen people trying to board the same flight I had returning to the U.S. Every seat was taken, even at ridiculously high air fares. I guess the airlines are money happy at the present time. I do not return to Brazil until January. Hope things pick up more in the meantime.

What about ads placed on rentmen and similar medias that include guys posing as escorts but who use stolen photos and false information but have intention of robbing a "client" who falls for the fake ad? Or similar type of dishonest behavior in advertising? Those events can also be classified as "scariest incidents" or worse.

Yes, in Belgium and many other civilized parts of Europe, escorting (prostitution) is legal. Here in the U.S. it is not legal, as we all know. It is the misguided and/or warped thinking of non escorts that falsely believe that most escorts are involved with human trafficking. When you read some of the discussions that helped cause shutting down former well known advertising medias (like Craigslist and/or rentboy, to mention just two) getting escorting legal again in the U.S will take a miracle or a different century. I cannot reconcile the fame given to Francis Scott Key because he penned about America, "Land of the free and the home of the brave." Tell that to escorts and those arrested for prostitution.

The risk of an illegal act deserves a higher fee, or so I am told.

Some people are naturally unappreciative. Whatever nice things you do for them (tip et cetera) they take for granted. Fortunately, not all providers behave this way.

When an escort is going to collect four hours of money, it is unlikely you will have a "no show". Or, if an escort is reading this response, am I incorrect about the four hours versus the usual one hour of earnings effecting the likelihood of the escort making a timely appearance?

I can understand that you would want to go through a third-party to meet a compatible escort. However, that is not always necessary. For example, if you are looking for a particular recommendation, I can offer you a contact link for a very handsome, charming and trustworthy man who is age 27 and never disappoints. I first met him in another country and by mere coincidence, he chose to reside in Los Angeles where you could meet with him. Although he is from another country, his English is quite good. He advertises his services on an escort site and charges an hourly rate for his services. If you want a contact link for this man, just let me know.

In an earlier post, I complained (bitched) about the high business class fares from the U.S. to Brazil. Some fares were in excess of $20,000.00 round trip! I also noted that the economy class fares were also very high compared to prior years. I thought no one would pay the kind of fares being asked and that the flights would go out mostly empty of passengers. Was I wrong! I looked at the seat maps of United's flights and to my shock, most of the business class seats were already assigned and many of the coach seats have also been assigned. No question, we are living in a strange economic time when the world is facing a recession but travel is the highest cost and busiest I have ever seen. Despite the outrageous air fares, I decided to buy a ticket and return to Brazil in a few days. I got a flight at about midway between the high fares and medium. However, travel problems did not end after buying my air fare ticket. For the first time in my many years of visiting Brazil on a frequent basis, I had difficulty reserving a hotel at one of the major hotel chains that I use. After wasting several hours on the websites for each hotel chain I use plus calling on the phone, I now have my Brazil vacation split between three different chain hotels instead of my preference to stay at one hotel for my duration in Sao Paulo. I could not get a hotel to reserve the number of weeks I plan to be in Sao Paulo. I never had this happen in the past. I was advised that the crowded hotels are a result of the election that takes place tomorrow in Brazil between Lula and Bolsonaro. Each candidate is too close to call. Whichever candidate wins will have numerous celebrations in Sao Paulo and other large Brazilian cities which supposedly explains why the American chain hotels are full. That explanation sounds a bit lame, in my opinion. I know that I could book a room at a Brazilian hotel but I prefer the chain hotels that I have used for years. I stay in contact with many Brazilians that I met over the years of visiting Brazil. My friends tell me that despite the crowded cities, Lagoa sauna in Sao Paulo, is doing quite well. Unfortunately, the other sauna (that replaced Fragata) has not picked up business to a point it is worth going there (according to my friends). During my last trip, the Fragata replacement seemed like it might be a go but my friends said lately that the place is like an undiscovered tomb and not worth the money or effort to visit there. Nonetheless, I will check it out and report what I find. Other fun places in Sao Paulo were in decline on my last trip. Particularly, the cines and shows were much deserted. The Praca da Republica had declined in that there were no hustlers as there were in prior periods. Hopefully, after I check out the usual haunts, I will be able to give a favorable report about Sao Paulo. Although I like Rio, I do not visit there much anymore which means that my next update will only be about Sao Paulo. My Brazilian friends told me that saunas Clube 117 and 202 are doing quite well.

Just a few weeks ago he had a wonderful trip to England, his first time flying business class internationally. He later commented how nice he found the flight and LAX Polaris lounge. Now, two weeks later, he is gone. How fragile life is.

Bad to accept money. The person then becomes a tenant. https://www.hg.org/legal-articles/guest-freeloader-or-tenant-36659

Worth every cent and then some. Great invention for modern cooking.

Not only that, wait until your electric bill arrives. Even though it is not a lot of money, the extra electricity billing runs about one hundred dollars each month. Actually, I think the extra hundred bucks is worth the money considering the time and work I saved by using an air fryer. Bravo to the person or persons who invented the machine. I use it almost every day.

If the agreement is to prevent disclosure of prostitution, the contract is not valid. It matters not about paying legal fees for attempting to enforce an illegal contract.

NEWS & PERSPECTIVE DRUGS & DISEASES CME & EDUCATION ACADEMY VIDEO DECISION POINT Drugs & Diseases > Pathology Autopsy Rate and Physician Attitudes Toward Autopsy Updated: Jul 16, 2019 Author: Harold Sanchez, MD, FCAP; Chief Editor: Kim A Collins, MD, FCAP more... 17 Many people not associated with health care form their impressions of pathology based on television and movie portrayals, with the belief that pathologists spend their time performing autopsies. This is a fallacy. Before 1970, approximately 40% to 60% of all hospital deaths in the United States ended in autopsy; in more recent years "that number has decreased to below 5%." [1, 2] "that number has decreased to below 5%." - - - which means that the cause of death reported on countless death certificates is often inaccurate.

They did not lie! The virus was a new disease that hit the world. There was no prior experience dealing with such a widespread disaster. In good faith, Fauci and other physicians gave their best good faith opinions based on their experience dealing with a new disease that had no prior history. To say that the doctors "lied" about the virus and the vaccine is not realistic.

Are you not leaving out a critical fact? While it may be true that Biden was fully vaccinated and had a few cases of Coronavirus, he was never hospitalized or severely ill from the virus. Clearly, the vaccines kept his bouts with Coronavirus to a minimum with only minor symptoms. Had he not been vaccinated, given his age, he likely would have been hospitalized or could have succumbed from those bouts with the virus. The vaccine usually prevents full blown Coronavirus and it markedly lowers the possibility of death from the virus. I wonder why some people refuse or cannot see that trend in society. One personal example I experienced was when there were international travel restrictions several months ago. Americans returning to the U.S. from foreign countries were required to be tested for Coronavirus prior to entry or return to the U.S. I was in a foreign country and two days before my return flight to the U.S., my coronavirus test came back positive despite my being fully vaccinated. I had zero symptoms and would not have know I contracted the virus were it not for the mandatory testing for travel back to the U.S. Looking at the big picture, it certainly appears that the vaccine is beneficial in at least reducing symptoms (or death) for those who are fully vaccinated.
