Norwegian citizens caught paying for prostitutes at home or abroad could face a hefty fine or a six-month prison sentence...
The stated reason for this I think is commendable...
"We think buying sex is unacceptable because it favours human trafficking and forced prostitution," deputy Justice Minister
Now I agree that trafficking in humans and forced prostitution is a very bad thing. However, I do not think that creating new levels of punishment around "the world's oldest profession" is called for. Why not go after the actual traffickers, and not the people who provide income for poor girls who might not have any other way to make the same amount of income doing anything else. This law makes all forms of "compensation" illegal, and be-careful about who touches you where ladies, because this might be construed as "selling sex" if you take anything in return....
the sexual activities it covers... include payment for sexual intercourse, physical contact between exposed genitalia, one or two-way masturbation or touching someone’s private parts or breasts. “Payment” is defined as the exchange of money, or payment in kind, including the giving of flowers and gifts.
Looks to me like the Norwegians might have just banned Valentines Day ladies. So no more chocolates and flowers and dinners and movies for you from them... Goddamn those smart Norwegians!

Jason, I'm with you here, it seems to me the government should stay out of legislating morality. Human trafficers should be punished to the full extent of the law. Stay out of the bedroom unless there is violence ( not mild S and M), exloitation of children or animals.Mahalo, The King
we'd be better off legalizing, licensing, and taxing prostitution...and drugs for that matter. guess that just leaves rock-n-roll...nope RIAA already fuk'd that one
cali is about 40 billion short...maybe they could use the extra income, eh?!?
Don't you know all of the stoners would be happy enough to pay the tax... if the price was still $50 an 1/8 oz. of KGB. And I know that if tax were incorporated into my whoring price I would be more than willing to pay it... as long as the tax did not make the price rise significantly. I mean 1000 Baht short time is all I can really afford... that is about $28, and that is a lot of money where I am at.
Beware of the yeast of the saducces and the pharisees. A strange partition is developing in this world. This is being done by the legalists: People who create the laws, live by them, therefore they have the right to kill you by their righteousness. These are maggots on the inside, corrupted by their own ignorance. They are really into controlling the sex lives of people.
