Sex work fully legalized in belgium

[Wolfer]

As of this week, sex work has been fully legalized in Belgium. Which surprised me, because I thought it already was. It kind of was... It wasn't illegal to be or hire a sex worker, but everything around it was illegal: banks and accountants could not support sex workers in their business etc. That's all changed now, sex workers can now register as self-employed as a sex worker with full transparency and get all the same benefits. 

It's even legal now to hire sex workers as employees and have them work for you to see other clients. So kind of like a legal framework for pimping, but with full protection for the sex workers based on Belgian employment law. 

Apparently we are the first European country to do this (so the spokesperson claimed. Which confused me as I thought Germany and the Netherlands already had this. But legal nuances are sometimes hard to keep track of) 

I'm really happy! Not sure how many working boys will actually start to report their income though hahaha.

maybe we'll see the increase of folks on RM on that location.

I’m all for it… my understanding is that even a foreigner can register~ (at least in other countries that recognize the profession).

I've been to Belgium once but only focused on the museums, chocolate and beer.   🤷‍♂️

I think most guys here use planetromeo (now just called Romeo), well, the hunqz part of that site. It's better known here. I think they might get more clients through there.

Those are excellent things to focus on. I would suggest also our fries, if you should ever come back.

The fries were amazing. As were the various stews, like rabbit.  Yummmm.  I definitely want to return and see more of your beautiful country.  Bruges, Ghent... both on my bucket list.

Don't forget the waffles and mussels. Also, Brussels has more restaurant Michelin stars per capita than any other city...

Lovely country. I've visited a few cities on a few occasions. Now you all have another reason to buy a ticket. Go for it.

Plus...Belgians truly make the only beer worth drinking.

Steven Draker is one name that comes to mind. I don't know if he is the one they thought of.

You visited Belgium without seeing Bruges or Ghent?? Those are the 2 cities I always put on the must-see list. Well actually, Ghent and Antwerp. Brussels feels too much like a generic big European city, depending which part of it you visit. But Antwerp and Ghent really have that Flemish vibe. Bruges is beautiful historical city but I've only been a handful of times.

Unfortunately it was just an overnight stay in Brussels....

The last newsletter I got from him was seven years ago, his site ( http://www.hotsexystud.com/uk ) is offline for many years, all the profiles I know he had (Gay/planetRomeo, now Hunqz) are unavailable, I'm 99,99% sure Steven Draker isn't escorting anymore.

Love the Belgians and Belgium. Awesome.
