DISCLAIMER
The information presented in this section by Langtrees.com is not legal advice, it is only to be used as an introduction to the law and you should seek legal assistance if you have a problem. This information only applies to sex workers working in Victoria. Sex workers in other states should refer to the information contained in their state.

The Prostitution Control Act (1994) is the legislation which governs businesses providing sexual services in Victoria. The definition of sexual services is very broad and the Act states as follows:

"sexual services" includes-

(a) taking part with another person in an act of sexual penetration; and
(b) masturbating another person; and
(c) permitting one or more persons to view any of the following in their presence-
(i) two or more persons taking part in an act of sexual penetration;
(ii) a person introducing (to any extent) an object or a part of their body into their own vagina or anus;
(iii) a person masturbating himself or herself or two or more persons masturbating themselves or each other or one or more of them-
in circumstances in which-

(iv) there is any form of direct physical contact between any person viewing the occurrence and any person taking part in the occurrence; or
(v) any person viewing the occurrence is permitted or encouraged to masturbate himself or herself while viewing-
and, for the purposes of this definition, a person may be regarded as being masturbated whether or not the genital part of his or her body is clothed or the masturbation results in orgasm.

Under this legislation all businesses providing sexual services are to be licensed. Included amongst these businesses were escort agencies, brothels, and private operators. All licensees are recorded on a public register a copy of which can be obtained from the Victorian Business Licensing Authority. Private operators are not required to be licensed although they must still register with the Business Licensing Authority. This register is not open for public inspection but can be accessed by a number of Government Departments.

Businesses providing in-house services must also obtain Town Planning Permits.

At present there are 86 licensed brothels (some of whom also run escorts), 38 licensed escort agencies and 1461 registered solo operators.

Brothels
In Victoria brothels can operate legally if they have a town planning permit obtained from local council and are licensed through the Business Licensing Authority (B.L.A). These businesses must display a 'P.C.A' number in all advertising and have their license on display. Brothels are distinguishable by a 'B' following the P.C.A number. Brothels may also provide an escort service.

Escort
Escort agencies do not require a planning permit but must be licensed through the B.L.A. Their advertisements must also show a P.C.A number and this number is followed by an 'E'.

Private operators
Solo operators are not required to be licensed however they must register with the Business Licensing Authority and obtain a P.C.A number. Again, this number must appear in all advertising. A private escort worker will have an 'XE' following their number and a private worker offering an in-house service will have an 'XB' following their number. If they are working from their own premises they require a planning permit.

Advertising
Advertising of sex industry businesses in Victoria is highly regulated. It is an offence for anyone to place an advertisement for sexual services without a P.C.A number and it is also an offence for someone to publish such an ad.

Advertising for staff is not allowed including ancillary staff such as cleaners and receptionists.

Pictorial representations in advertisements must be limited to the head and shoulders. If models are used their written consent must be obtained.

Advertisements must not refer to the race, colour or ethnic origin of the sex workers. They are also not able to refer to the health of the service providers or their sexual orientation.

The Illegal Industry
While Victoria has a legal adult industry it also continues to have an illegal side. If a business is providing sexual services and is not licensed or does not have a planning permit for a brothel they are illegal. It has been suggested that the illegal industry is as large, and some argue larger, than the legal industry. This is probably true in terms of the number of businesses but these businesses are smaller and hence there are far fewer service providers involved.

The other illegal aspect of Victoria's adult industry is street prostitution. Street prostitution, while primarily concentrated in St Kilda, does occur in isolated pockets around the city. It is illegal for workers to solicit clients as well as for clients to solicit workers or would be workers.

Aha, so I cannot go visit an Escort, but an Escort could come visit me here at home? But, can anyone help me find out how to make contact? As a blind person information for phone numbers etc is hard to get at as 99.95% of info is in written format.
Any guidance on the Melbourne scene will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

John

Miranda,
Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. Hahahaha, yes, it must seem puzzling that I'm blind and using a computer. But, I simply use a special program called JAWS by Freedom Scientific. It's one of a number of Screen reading speech programs that vocalise the text on screen and/or vocalise my key strokes as I type. By comparison with sight reading it's slow and tedious, but it gets me there most of the time. It does not do photographs...more's the pity. Oh well, perhaps one day they'll come up with a tactile touchy-feely Silicon screen? That'd be nice, but never anything like the real thing I'm sure.

No, I do not have anyone helping me nor, sadly, is there anyone I could trust sufficiently to ask. I also do not use TTY telephone, they are totally the province of the hearing-impaired.
However, I do have a similar speech synthesiser in my Mobile phone, so reading/writing SMS's isn't a prob.

I look forward to catching up after 9 February.

John
 
Blindlove, it is good to know that people do use programs like JAWS.

This is why web designers must be aware of the huge array of people who will use their websites in this age of interactive multimedia and make it accessible for people who may not have all their sight.

Thanks Tyler, it's so good to find people, such as you, who are sufficiently switched-on that they're savvy to the requirements of good Web design. Design that takes into account not only the "top-end" of Web Browser performance, but also the "bottom-end" of the very many old, almost out of date Web Browsers that many in Internet Land are still using. Here, I'm using the latest IE7, but the JAWS program limits its performance so much that it might as well be IE1! :-)
Sadly, most Web designers are on the treadmill of always pushing the technology to the limits and do not realise that, in doing so, they're constantly narrowing down the Market to whom they wish to appeal; only those at the "top-end"with the latest equipment can access the 'gee-whiz' features they've worked so hard to design.
The design guidelines of the W3 Consortium are increasingly being ignored, so I'm sad to say that increasingly, on a daily basis more and more Web sites are becoming totally unusable to those of us who use adaptive Software such as JAWS.

Oh well, one can only hope that somewhere, someplace some IT Nurd is working on that touchy-feelly tactile Silicon computer screen that will represent the curves, contours, lumps, bumps and mounds of the graphic images that occasionally 'pop-up' on my Screen here! And, even better, also emit a matching perfume, aroma or odour! ;-)

Hmmmm, perhaps rather than wishing, hoping and speculating for a technological fix, I should just hop a Plane and head West for LP's and enjoy the real thing?

John
 
He he John maybe you can do that!

I was taught in my web design class at uni to always take every person into consideration becuase a web site is not only an ego booster, it's for networking and the like also. Therefore it should be made accessible to as many people as possible.

Many web designers don't even know where in the web design programs such as Dreamweaver you can add text for programs like JAWS.

This is why my partner and I own a web design business now - we noticed too many websites not accomodating to people who could not see, hear, click and etcetera.

And maybe we will all see you at LP's one day!

PS: He he if Internet Explorer 7 on XP is slowing you down I would hate to see JAWS with all the possible Vista bugs! :hello:
 
Vista & its DRM will mess up everybody!

Hahahaha, with every post I'm getting closer to hopping a Plane back over to the wild and exciting West, and, visiting LP's. As I've said elsewhere, whenever I'm in Perth something wonderful and totally magic always happens for me!

Yes, I'm sure the already known bugs in Vista will cause many major problems for Screen reading programs such as JAWS. I heard someplace that a security patch (SP2) has already been released for Vista. Perhaps the greatly publicised recent launch of Vista was only the beta version? :-)
But, I think its biggest bugbear and worst marketing feature, when the general public realises, is Vista's in-built digital rights management (DRM) system. No more downloading or copying of CD's, DVD's, music, video's, games etc without a fully authorised licence from the copyright owner. It may be right, it may be ethically/legally justifiable, but the mass of the general public will hate it!

Seee you in Perth and/or Broome soon.... ;-)

hey

Hey John,
That is amazing about JAWS, sorry I have never heard of it.

Great technology is out there for you and others.

I have heard of TTY and place it in ads for the Deaf to use it to see me.

I am very accommodating to everyone and caring n friendly too. Hope it shows.

Look forward to meeting you
Miranda Fox xxx n hugs to you John.
 
Melbourne Escort Services

Hi all, I was just wondering about something is it legal to use an escort service in Melbourne? Such as this one I found during a google search.

Melbourne Exotic Escorts :: Asian Beauties For Your Pleasure

I have rang them up and enquired about their prices and stuff but have not organized it as one thing I am worried about is it could be a trap and instead of a girl I get cops of my door who want to arrest me etc.

Reason I am asking is because I am a 23 year old single male I still live at home with my mum,I have never been in a relationship with a girl and I don't think I will for a while yet and I am still a virgin. I am so desperate for sex that I am even willing to pay for it

Wondering why I'm still single and a virgin? well due to my past ruining my confidence I have never had the guts to go upto a girl I liked and ask her out and a hole lot of reasons like that.

Anyways to my question again, are they legal to use in Melbourne and are they even legit services not "traps" etc.

Thanks (hope I've posted this in the right section if not can a moderator please move it to the proper one?)
 
Re: Melbourne Escort Services

Escort agencies are legal in Melbourne and by extension Victoria provided that they are licensed. How do you know if they are licensed? In advertisments a PCA number must be displayed. For example Paramour of Collins Street has a PCA number of 113E. Gotham City has a PCA number of 1147BE. The E means that an agency is only licensed to provide escorts that will visit you. The B indicates that you can visit them. So Gotham City with a BE after it's number can provide escorts that will come and visit you and also allows you to go and visit them at their incall location.
So basically yes it is legal provided the agency/brothel has a PCA number. If they don't advertise one then be vary wary of using them.

I hope that makes sense.

Now given your current living situation I am thinking that maybe it would be a better option to visit a brothel than it would be booking an escort to visit you at home (unless mum is cool with it then by all means go for it!). The advantages of going to a brothel over using an agency is that you would have the opportunity to meet the ladies before committing to a booking. If you don't like what you see or aren't feeling comfortable with the idea you can back out without losing any money. An escort agency on the other hand may charge a cancellation fee if you get cold feet or decide not to go through with the booking for other reasons at the last minute (ie when she is on your doorstep)

Hope this helps.
 
Re: Melbourne Escort Services

So on that website i linked to I don't see anything resembling that PCA number so from what you say it's not wise to use them?

And If i did use one that comes out to me I'd organize it for late at night or for a time when I know mum wont be home (coz no she wont be cool with it plus I don't want her or any one else to know).

As for visiting one I would'nt even have a clue where one is in my area and I don't drive so that would also make it difficult to go there.
 
Re: Melbourne Escort Services

I definitely think that a brothel is the better option mate. There are quite a few of them around and maybe a taxi is an option. I know of a couple of very classy and inexpensive ones in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne with quality women who are very good with newbies... and if you mention you're "new to this and never had sex" then they may be more likely to give you an experience you wont forget!!!
 
Re: Melbourne Escort Services

Well I live in Werribee, what would be a good one closet to me any one can recommend and what prices would I be looking at paying?

But would'nt going to a Brothel be very embarrassing too since you would obviously have to check in etc heaps of people obviously know what your there for and everything like that or are they very "discreet' about it?
 
Re: Melbourne Escort Services

Mate, its understandable to be nervous but there is honestly no need to be. Also keep in mind that they would be very used to first timers and nervous people.

I am nor familiar with any of the brothels/parlors on your side of town but here's a Melbourne-wide listing that might help you locate one.

Resourcing health & Education in the Sex Industry (RhED)

Firstly, it is VERY discreet! Don't forget that all guys who are there, are there for the exact same reason. You don't need to be embarrassed whatsoever... after all, sex is what a brothel is all about. I used to visit them a lot when I was your age and was never embarrassed to do so :)

So....

When it comes to visiting a place, its not too hard at all mate. Most places will have a doorbell which you need to ring. Someone will come to the door to greet you and let you in. They're generally very nice. They may ask if you are are after a particular girl... just say no and they will either take you to a private room or a waiting area. You will then get to meet whichever ladies are available at the time... they usually come and say hello one at a time. They'll ask how you are and if there's anything you are wanting in particular. Don't freak out if they get touchy or close. I recommend you tell them that its your first time visiting a parlor. Once you have met all of the ladies, the hostess should come back and ask you which lady you would like to spend time with. Let her (or him) know and they will take you to your room. You will be left alone for about 5-10 minutes which is time for you to have a shower before your lady arrives.

Good luck and remember that's its okay to be nervous. If none of the ladies on offer takes your fancy, don't be afraid to say "I might come back another time". That's your choice mate!!

Most importantly, just go with the flow and enjoy yourself. If the girl knows its your first time she is likely to do all of the work. Lay back and lap it up.
 
Re: Melbourne Escort Services

The closest brothel to Werribee that I am aware of is Whispers at Hoppers Crossing though there probably a few others around. I'm not based in Victoria so I'm not entirely sure. The forum FIA Home has an abundance of information about Victoria so it might be worth searching there.

It can be very daunting fronting up to a brothel for the first (or second or tenth time), particularly if it is in a busy part of town. But quite a few brothels will have a second entrance at the back or down an alley for those who wish to be discreet. You would have to ask each brothel though. Chances are at a small suburban parlour at the time you go there, you may be the only guy in the place or one of a couple. And even if there are a few guys there, they are there for the same reason you are so they won't make fun of you. And the ladies won't either. At least not until after money has changed hands haha. No I'm kidding it would be poor business for them to do that.

For discretion purposes I think it would be far more discreet to visit a brothel than it would be to have a strange lady rock up to your place in the wee small hours. Some nosy neighbours might happen to see and report back which could have consequences.
 
Re: Melbourne Escort Services

lol That's so true, plus the neighbour in the front unit to us would wonder why theres a car there and would also be bad coz we share the one drive way so if they come home while shes here and they block her car from backing out of the drive way:P could get awkward when I have to go ask them to move there car at 3am:P

What do people think of guys though who go there to have sex for the first time in his life, am I the only one out of a few rare people who would do that or are their more that do this then I realize?
 
Re: Melbourne Escort Services

You would be one of thousands mate... nothing to be ashamed of either. A brothel and its employees will not judge you. As for everyone else, well.... i highly doubt anyone you know will even know you've been to one. its not like you're going to advertise the fact. As for everyone else.......... who the fuck cares what they think?
 
Re: Melbourne Escort Services

Plus even if I change my mind about having actual sex there surely theres other things she could do to make it feel as if i did.....make any sense?
 
Re: Melbourne Escort Services

The room is yours. If you decide you aren't ready for sex then there is always oral and hand relief. Even the most seasonal patrons sometimes opt for a simple blow job. Just le the girl know what you want.

My honest recommendation is to get your full money's worth. Let the girl know you are new to it and that you are nervous and believe me, if she's good at her job she will look after you. Let her get you hard, suck you silly and then fuck your brains out. All you need to do is lay there and enjoy it. Touch her tits, hold her thighs... let her ride you.

Only one word of warning... you might become addicted!!!!!!!!!!!! :p
 
Re: Melbourne Escort Services

Yeah pretty much agree with what TheMissingPiece said in his previous two posts. Just another thing that I want to add. If possible give some thought to jumping on the train and heading in to Melbourne and visiting one of the brothels in the CBD. Consider that in the CBD you will be just another face in the crowd and the chances of bumping into anyone you might know would be smaller than out your way.
 
Re: Melbourne Escort Services

Hi there.....

I remembered my first time.... I was very nervous.... My legs were trembling like hell.... and went to this place I felt sick to my stomach when ringing the doorbell......

But I worked up the courage to do it and picked this nice lady from the line up......

After I had the mandatory shower this wl started sucking my cock then in like 30 seconds BAM!!!!!! It was all over hahahaha.......

Yeah it was very embarasing......

So I dont think I got the wooden spoon on this!!!!

Happy punting!!!

Re: Melbourne Escort Services

What I could do is find one in the city some wheres then take a trian to the city and catch a taxi to the place but finding a good one in the city not far from the main station might be hard (flinders street station). Because I get the pension and on one pay I have like $300 to spare to my self and I usually go out all day any way so no one here will be even slightly sus about what I am doing. I'm also assuming I will need things like Photo ID which I current;y don't have, been meaning to organize it but havn't really had an urgent need for it (maybe untill now) I do have my birth certificut though if that would help me get in etc.
 
Re: Melbourne Escort Services

You are over analyzing and preparing for this. Just select a brothel, grab your cash and get along. If you dont have a driver's license then I reckon you ought to get a keypass. You're in your 20s man. I hope you're not trolling. If not... then good luck with it.
