Spanish Prostitutes Ordered To Wear Safety Vests

Spanish prostitutes have been ordered to wear reflective safety vests for their own safety, according to reports. Women working on rural roadsides in Catalonia must don the vests to avoid a €40 ($56) fine.

Prostitution is not banned in Spain, but it has been outlawed in some cities. However, lack of the safety vests is the only reason to fine the women working outside of the Spanish city of Lleida, where the vest program is now in effect, as prostitution is not illegal outside of the city limits.

However, some see the move as an attempt by Mayor Josep Maria Bea of Lleida to drive the women out of town. There are an estimated 300,000 female sex workers in Spain, according to the Telegraph.

Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodrígue Zapatero promised to ban prostitution ads in newspapers, but has failed to do so. Meanwhile, a recent survey showed that one in four Spanish men admitted to paying for sex.

Not a bad idea. The next move should be to get male prostitutes to wear reflective chrome jock straps.

I don't understand why there are so many more girl prostitutes than guy prostitutes.

In my experience it's much easier to get a young girl to put out for an older guy for free than it is to get a young gay dude to have sex with anyone over 30 for free.

My experience has been the opposite. Sure, WeHo clones only have sex with each other, but I've had good encounters with younger people on Craigslist and BearWWW, there are other specialty sites too.

Even paying I've rarely had a good encounter with a woman.

And Spain has saunas similar to Brazil doesn't it? Seems strongly preferable to picking somebody up on the street.

I didn't say the young girls were any good. Just easier.
