bookings from 16 years olds are we allowed too ?
« on: 03 October 2011, 07:55:18 pm »
its been a strange week I've had  2 lads both asking for a booking both telling me there were 16
 I told them that i don't meet guys under 18 their may just be taking the Micky.
 I'm just wondering really what the law is on this really
Are we alllowed  to offer services to someone that young ? or is it more a moral issue ?
to be honest i don't think I'd like to
 I'd feel I was really taking advantage
has anyone else had any experience like this before?

I'm not sure, my brain thinks that it's not legal as under-18s can't legally create a contract....

But I'm sure others will know better.


(personally - me - I couldn't shag a 16 yr old, it would be like sleeping with a child at my age :o )

It's legal - the normal age of consent rules apply, so 16 (unless you have a position of trust over them etc).

The courts won't enforce sex-based contracts, no matter what the ages. (Yet another reason for 'get the money first'!)

Morally, I think it's more that you have severe doubts = it would be difficult to give them a good service.

If you, or anyone else, decide to have clients like this, it'd be a good idea to get proof of age. If you have a reasonable belief that they're above the age of consent, that's enough legally, but you probably don't want to feature in an 'this escort took money for sex from my 15 year old son' or similar story.

End of the day 99% of the site's we advertise on are over 18's only so 16 year olds shouldn't even be there.

It's a moral judgment only you can make tbh

Personally I don't see anyone under 21!! I'm not comfortable with anyone in the teens (or most younger than me tbh lol)

If Ian is saying it is legal then I have to agree it is up to you how tou feel morally.

Personally,I would feel uncomfortable considering that all the sites I advertise on have an over 18 disclaimer.
Actually, so does my website so I would feel very unhappy at having such a disclaimer and then agreeing to see a 16 year old....

I state specifically that my punters should be 18 or over.  I also have a clause that says where there is doubt then I will ask for ID. 

Any callers who contact me and say they are in their teens or even sound young and sometimes even those that profess to be early 20's are informed that ID might need to be brought to the booking to provide proof of age. 

Whilst 16 is  legal for sex, my own feeling is that the sites state only 18's plus are allowed to view so I feel, for me anyway, that morally I can't see anyone younger. 

Of course, it's your personal choice as some ladies I know don't see under 25's - it's an individual choice.

[...]

I have the same clause but yes, I do prefer not to see anyone under 25 as I personally feel that (maybe because I'm still so silly and immature :P) anyone younger is just a baby. Especially men who are punting for the first few times at a young age; of course some young men are really confident and comfortable with the realities of visiting prostitutes, but there's a high percentage who have seemed very emotionally vulnerable when they visited me. And I really can't deal with that because it makes me worry about them and then the whole situation gets a bit over-emotional and weird. So best avoided, for me anyway.

16-year-olds would be a definite no-go to me morally, as they are just babies really! And it's honestly not going to hurt them to wait a couple of years (or even four or six years!) before they start paying for sex, is it? I don't know - I know it's none of my business really but yes, that's another reason why I avoid the young ones altogether. I couldn't possibly have sex with someone so young in real life so I can't do it for work either.

I always feel booking a girl is more like buying porn than having sex, if that makes sense. Like you can have sex from the age of 16 but you can't watch people at it til you're 18 lol.

I started the biz quite young so have seen some clients who are 18 and they are more than enough trouble, maturity-wise. Besides I would doubt they would go through with the booking anyway

its been a strange week I've had  2 lads both asking for a booking both telling me there were 16

Having two of them in the same week makes me suspicious. Is it possible a journalist is trying to set up a sting story?

Maybe it's a couple of friends playing silly buggers.  It's definitely silly season again for me in terms of stupid phone calls, groan.............

Yeah this is me, I'm just not comfortable with younger guys and I'm far happier with gentlemen older than me. (I'm 27)

hi thanks all for your replies  least i know that if i ever did meet someone at 16 its legal so i wouldn't be doing anything wrong

but morally i dint think i every will as i do think 16 is just too young my Friends sons is nearly that age 
I've always liked younger lad in general dating wise but I'm 33 and any one under 25 is a bit too young 
youngest client I've seen was 23 and i think 10 years younger is properly enough

I'd like to say this site is brillant has given me loads of great advise and I've found it really helpful
thank you to who every decided to set this site up for us all

thanks
Jessica xx

Likewise I prefer clients 18+, sometimes older.
  I'd be surprised if 16 year olds can afford to visit an escort.
