If it is a thailander, it depends - some are doing a ligtimate work while others dont. Indians are also doing as bad as any of these. The one near carefour Seeb - there are 2 massage centers in one building - both are front of prostitution. I one asked for a massage in back pain - they want a happy ending so that they can get money from you - I argued hard on these people and they are shameless. Once my frind in Nizwa told me that SAFARI hotel there employs Chinese too, They asked 10 rials for sucking and 5 rials for hand job?

There are countries in 'the west' where prostitution is completely legal, where prostitutes actually pay income tax, where they even have unions, mandatory health-checks, etc. That's a perfect killer for criminal and illegal activities, as there is simply no need for them. Same is valid for drugs, an issue that also seems to rapidly become a real problem in Oman. But I guess this would be just a few bridges too far for this region.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11255748830449995015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283845125208268798.post-91302217734155185902010-03-20T16:00:48.980+04:002010-03-20T16:00:48.980+04:00some really good arguments for legalization in thi...some really good arguments for legalization in this threadboxsternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283845125208268798.post-6683113471898978512010-03-18T17:39:24.765+04:002010-03-18T17:39:24.765+04:00The oldest profession, give it some credit!

In the Gulf, so many men live away from their women creating a most unhealthy and unnatural situation for those of a straight disposition. A little normal relief must be good for society. So those of you who are probably living a fulfilled life with your partner next to you, have no right to criticize those who don't or those who provide for their needs. Closing down these shops will not stop the business, it will simply go elsewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283845125208268798.post-88148088536595610742010-03-18T12:29:45.865+04:002010-03-18T12:29:45.865+04:00I agree with the comments of Mr. BongI agree with the comments of Mr. BongAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283845125208268798.post-57135912869625815822010-03-17T21:31:50.090+04:002010-03-17T21:31:50.090+04:00why don't one of you anono-cops film the cummi...why don't one of you anono-cops film the cumming/commings and goings from these establishments and then post the shit on youtube with the time and date???!<br /><br />Imagine how many wankers (or perhaps wankees) you could bust? too funny.anonotardhttp://www.youtube.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283845125208268798.post-81414623923881085952010-03-17T14:06:58.630+04:002010-03-17T14:06:58.630+04:00What's funny is that they are being given time...What's funny is that they are being given time until May to sort their shit out.

Highlighting exploitation of maids, massage girls and whatever is easy, bringing the real prostitutes; the Omani's who are living off immoral earnings and treating these girls as no more than slaves needs more than just highlighting. Who owns these premises? Who is the sponsors? Who is making (not earning!) money from this? Then and only then will this topic cease to become a blog and hit real news.
