The map you provided says prostitution in Canada is legal. It isn't. Whether or not the OP is a provider (male or female) does not change that. It does not matter if she can legally offer her services if the purchaser of same commits a crime by buying them. No matter how you contort yourself and torture the truth, that does not change.
You should think more and post less.
As someone else pointed out (and you utterly failed to respond) the map you posted is six years old and was created when prostitution was still legal in Canada.
So, yes, epic fail on your part.
Here's a more recent map, created after the law changed in Canada. You should spend more time doing your homework.
PS: Even this map, while more correct than yours, gets something wrong. It shows Nevada as green when only certain counties have legalized prostitution. It is illegal in Las Vegas.
Are there countries that have legal prostitution?If so where so I can buy my passport?Tired of worrying about law enforcement seriously.We should be able to work without having to worry about this.I understand screening weeds out undercovers But you could get that one client who gets pissed during a session and tells the front desk in the hotel what you're doing .what countries have legal prostitution?

Even in Latin America which is pretty much run by the Catholic Church, the Church and prostitution seem to co-exist quite nicely together. Some of my playgrounds where P4P is completely legal that are reasonably close to home are Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia, but there are literally dozens of countries who men and women can play together for pay with no worries about getting thrown in jail for it.

The flip side of illegality is that providers can charge more.
In Canada, it is illegal for a John to purchase sex from a hooker. It's not illegal for her to sell it, just illegal from him to buy it. Weird, right? But the transaction is still illegal.
True, but not enforced much.
so there have been a few changes since then. Canada should now be yellow (restricted) as should Northern Ireland. I think Iceland is also yellow, but I could be wrong- they may just still be contemplating that changeover.
Cool chart though!
Not that it matters at all, to be honest; overall Asia (lumped in with all the pacific Islands) is in fact only about a quarter Muslim. BUT, many many of the individual nations that actually make up Asia are overwhelmingly Muslim. Several are in areas some people probably think of as the mid-east or Eastern Europe but are actually considered Asia. Several more, Indonesia, Pakistan, Malaysia, Brunei, Bangladesh are most definitely in Asia. In Indonesia, one of the few on the map that says there is no law, it's probably self-policing by the religious rules and they don't need a government law. It may be worth pointing out that in certain Muslim countries prostitution is illegal but bigamy is perfectly legal. Men go and marry a provider for an hour or two.
There is "illegal" and "technically illegal"
Does anyone believe that prostitution is really illegal in Thailand or the Philippines for example?
There are many countries where prostitution is practiced openly, but where there are still laws on the books making it illegal. It's no different than the many anti sodomy laws we have in this country that would "technically" make any practicing gay person a criminal under our laws.
Map is very much out of date or lacking accuracy. As indicated by others, it has been illegal in Canada for almost 2 years now. It has been illegal in France as well for a while now. And I find it highly inappropriate that the Scandinavian countries are listed as restricted when the most anti-hobbyist laws are often referred to as 'The Nordic Model' and copied from Sweden and/or Norway.
There are just too many inaccuracies for me to believe anything on that map

over regulation. Have not visited the Nevada brothels but have heard they are not only more expensive than they are worth, but much more bland than the typical provider experience.
Of course, simply MHO.
Saying its legal isn't correct but LE won't bother unless they are going after underage or girls being forced into the job. The women are hot as hell and for $200/hr for msog, it's my fav place to visit. Stick with the agencies there or the hundreds of well established indys and you're golden.
I don't think I can post it here but there's a local board just for hobbling in Montreal. PM me and I'll give you some details. The board is free and everything is open to read. (Except massage parlors, they offer the same service as agencies but they can't openly advertise
The OP is a provider. Since she posed the question, France is still green.
The OP is a provider. Since she posed the question, Canada is still green.
The gender of the OP is irrelevant to the answer. Are you a lawyer in Philadelphia
o one asserted that the "gender of the OP" is relevant. The OP's status as a sex worker is legally relevant, regardless of gender.
BTW, please learn how to use quote tagging in your random posts. They obviously don't teach XML tagging at State Farm University. Back to grave-shift call desk for you. --z
Apparently not. Your Talmudic attempts are weak. The fact that I didn't quote your post correctly is irrelevant. I correctly refuted your weak claim that because the OP was female it had any relevance to the argument.
Epic Fail.
Go away.
PS: I am not affiliated with JDU. But I think you went to Ed's Law School.
Logically, you're attempting the straw man fallacy, by presenting a false argument that was never made (the OP's gender), then attempting to refute it. In regard to your closing laundry list of comments about 'epic fail', 'go away', 'ed's law school', thumb's down jpeg...those items reveal more about you than me, unfortunately. --z

e legal reasoning behind the new prostitution laws in Canada & France is mystifying.
In the U.S., it's doubtful that such a law ( legal to sell, illegal to buy) could withstand a constitutional challenge, based on due process and equal protection clauses. For U.S. jurisdictions, I think it must be all-or-nothing. Either it's legal for both buyer & seller or prohibited for both parties. I can see the buying/selling being regulated by govt (e.g., Nevada).
I'm surprised that advanced democracies like France & Canada don't have something similar to the Due Process/Equal Protection clauses. --z
