Jarrod_Uncut Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1276617 I have been considering to plan a visit to the area, however I had forgotten about this I heard on other boards. I know someone mentioned why cities like Austin have lots of flakes, now maybe he knows why. If/When I go, I may have to make clients agree to an explicit agreement that it’s for time and travel expense only. Which likely will mean getting out of way upfront (or even before meeting).

+ DrownedBoy Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Dude, Texas has been on my refuse-to-travel-to list since June of last year, when the Republicans (who control the whole state) added this to their official political platform: "Homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice" Too bad there's a friend there I can't visit anymore; last saw him last May.

misterhumphries Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 While it's annoying as hell, is this law really anything new? I always thought pandering & solicitation were illegal.

No skin off my ass. Ha. I can only imagine. Story of my life being based in Missouri. Always having to go elsewhere. KC is dead, St. Louis is on life support. Just waiting to catch the right week where I can go on a long tour, save up, and get the next U-Haul the fuck outta here. All it is is cheap guys who want bareback and open relationships 🤦🏾♂️ I am mainly wanting to go to Tex for the after holiday shopping and get into a bigger market. And as far as the Midwest goes, that’s the next biggest place besides Chicago. But it likely won’t be on my move to list.

It's illegal yes but not a felony like in Texas now. I would never engage in hiring in Texas if I ever went there just to be safe. Sucks for all you guys living there.

But I had to unfortunately postpone halfway there because the timing and schedule didn’t allow me to continue. I would probably guess most of the knowledgeable clients may be ignoring that. But again: just because something is a felony in one place, doesn’t make it Ian “actual” crime. As we’ve seen with Britney Griner. If a client ever got in trouble in Texas, I would advise using the Kamala video as defense. It was consensual!

+ DynamicUno Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 It definately bears takeing due caution and seeing how this law gets used. I'd expect to see some publicity seeking sheriffs start setting up sting operations targeting johns. I'm not sure how'd they use it to harass providers on RM, but if it's intended to target pimps you might see an AG try to go after the site or try to charge providers under some interpretation of that part of it. Somehow I doubt the intended purpose of helping people being trafficed into sexwork will translate into any enforcement actions end up doing that, except where they incidentally find some victims of that in the course a sting. + Charlie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like they are trying to scare people with the same rehearsed broad language, but in reality it’s just the typical going after guys trying to turn women into hoes and profiting off of it. If they really wanted to make a difference. Just say: dudes (or women), you can’t sell women (or boys) for prostitution and make a gain off it. Its a felony. Of course the media tends to overstate the better by saying buying any sex is a felony. Edited January 17, 2023 by Jarrod_Uncut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italianboyph Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I don't feel this is really anything new, cause it's still always been "illegal". It's just another idiotic thing conservatives just wanna make public to act like they're gonna crack down on something.
