If you guys really want to help them, give them money instead without request for sexual services in return...
yes is exists long ago. But it used to be very black is black.. white is white. Now it gets more complicated. They have brains , proffesionals and the brawn. As in how businesses were run and how they mix the legit with the illegitimate. Playing intimidator and sympathiser.Originally posted by Detached:Not now.
Prostitution, gambling and whatever organized crime you can name existed a long long time ago in the galaxy. From the ancient China to Europe, "corporate gansters" dwelled on this very land a long time ago before our existence.
Their tactics and doing may have evolved over the years, but still it came a long time ago.
Do you know majority of them do this job by choice? Don't be fooled into those sob stories that they were forced into this situation because family got crippled ones, cannot pay medical bills and blah blah blah. Very few nowadays were genuine in their cases but most of them do it because it's the fastest way to make money. Do a few years, pay off the debt they incurred from the pimps, go back to their country origin and open up beauty or hair salons.Originally posted by radioactivelk:Recently, i visited geyland... i saw a row of prostitudes being displayed along the road sides at lor 12! I juz dun understand why they so pretty and end up being protitudes... Really breaks my heart... I also went to lor 23, i saw a crowd in one particular house, i went toward and i found out that, protitudes were being treated like animals putting them in a show case and waiting for customers to pick them!!!! As if they are buying cats and dog... Prostitudes is just a job, they do have dignity!!! just don't know why they are being treated this manner!!! the people there told them go through injection to make sure they are "safe"... i can't belief it, they have to go through so much pain just for a guy pleasure... The least we could do is show some respect to these poor girls not by doing business with them but by appreciating the nature!!!

It was so politically correct and they have the cheek to call it GET REAL!.
The point they brought across was how the girl was forced by circumstances to be a hooker and how she would not want her daughter to go through what she went through.
You want GET REAL!? Try hookers partying every night getting drunk and having a wild and enjoyable night-life every night in a drunken state of booze and sex.
You want GET REAL!? Try Singapore men craving for a wild time of booze and sex with no commitments and sweet young Indonesian girls to keep them company.
You want GET REAL!? Try Singapore men that nobody wants finding themselves having hundreds of good looking young women to choose from.
I know too much to condemn or praise a person's lifestyle / the Singapore lifestyle. I know too much of the pain and the ecstasy to condemn / praise the hooker's lifstyle.
I do not praise or condemn, I pity people that have only one life and never lived it.

Since this is public forum, I guess each have their rights of opinions
if they feel strongly about it.
Just for discussion, imagine you ( or the males ) are the prostitutes instead, how would you feel if you [b]have to serve the female clients, would you do so ?
Even for money sake, are you willing to serve for such strangers or elderly, sizes, races or sick women ? Will you?

Do you think they like to stand like that? Do you think they are not being watched over by someone else as they parade?

What I am puzzle is that we have legalised or licensed brothels, why do they have to resolve to street-prostititution which is dangerous to the prostitutes themselve as well as to the residents and neighbourhood in the area.
In the past, we don't such serious problem of street-walkers and crimes (remember the rape case of China women and the killing of another prostitute ?).
So poor Gays, No wonder every year they celebrated ChingGay to recognise the Gay community here.Originally posted by TheGoodEarth:Once upon a time, there was a Gay World in SG. But the gays then moved on to New World. New World was too small for them. Then they moved to Great World. Now, they want to come back to Gay Land??

not just street-walkers...the KTV's there are swamped with PRC students....they are by no means poor....Originally posted by Detached:Mainly for 2 reasons.
You would need a license and regular medical checkups to work in a licensed brothel; and a guarantor to ensure that you do not screw up during your work here. And if you notice, the majority of the street-walkers are of PRC origin - most of them are here on student visa, hence they're not eligible to be a legal sex worker.
And.
A Thai sex-worker working in a licensed brothel earns lesser, or sometimes, way lesser than a street-walker. If you were to choose, would you choose more moola or less?
As for the rape and murder cases, I got a simple refutation. But I hope it's good enough to provoke your thoughts. There are hundreds of plane accidents per year, some fatal some minor... Do you stop taking planes then?
