In order to eradicate all fears, i would choose to avoid all commercial sex activities except to legal house at designated areas in singapore. At least we see what we got, no more inconveniences at budget hotels and more importantly….I transact in absolute peace. Just my personal opinion.

My take on the matter is that many of the high profile raids are politically motivated.
Prudish members of the public [especially the women who have lost their husbands to whores] will complain to their MPs who then feel obliged to show that some sort of action is being taken to curb the huge influx of prostitutes as a result of Singapore’s policy of throwing open the floodgates to foreigners including those of “ill repute”.
To do nothing would cost votes so high profile raids are conducted periodically and MPs can then stand up in Parliament and take the high moral ground.
I can only say one thing and that is sgp law is very much not the same from english and USA law would a bit of everything thus it good to keep cool and u be ok..

When I started this forum, I actually banned all freelance talk. However, for every 10 posts I deleted, another 20 would be posted. In the end, I gave up and decided to get them to pay for the overheads instead.
If you can’t beat them, join them. That’s what the government should do to. Prostitution has been around since the dawn of man and no government has ever succeeded in eradicating the trade. The stance against prostitution has its roots in Christianity and Singapore is not a Christian state. It should simply go with the flow and concentrate on collecting taxes from prostitutes instead. They’ve already legalised gambling and invested in casinos. Whoring is simply a natural progression in the same direction.
Even the muslims have a more liberal attitude towards prostitution. The shiites allow for a temporary marriage if you want to have sex with a woman. You divorce her once your time is up.

solicitation is a crime.
Laws against solicitation were drawn up in earlier times before the advent of the Internet. Laws are periodically revised but sometimes they are unable to keep pace with changes in the world.
I do agree that traditionally, solicitation applies to physical solicitation out on the streets. But in the context of today’s society, the term could well be re-interpreted to include online solicitation. This has not happened yet, and I hope it will not happen. But the possibility cannot be discounted especially when such ads become increasingly pervasive due to greater publicity about them in the main stream media.
Incidentally, I went through the Penal Code but couldn’t find any provision against solicitation being an offence. Can any one help to show the way?

boss, I’m imagining local boys paying $100 as entry levy. haha.
prostituition is not just a social problem, but also about human rights, woman rights. i don’t think there is any way we could legalized it the way amsterdam does it.
the current system is quite fair. if u want to offer the service, get yourself a license, go for medical checkup. if u want to buy the service, go to the licensed “seller”.

I believe it is section 19 (soliciting in a public place) of the Miscellaneous Offences (Public Order and Nuisance) Act, which covers both prostitution and soliciting “for any other immoral purpose”.

It is not fair because it is not an open market. The few who hold brothel licenses hold a monopoly.
It would be fair if you could walk into a govt office, pass the required tests to become an OKT with an open and transparent appraisal system and then pay your license fee.

The IRs currently provide more than enough capacity to meet demand. In the case of legal brothels, this is not the case.
The demand for sex is huge. If the legal joints catered to the demand, the freelancers would be out of business.
