It is not just the brothels that students need to be careful of but also the bars. The Evil Eye Bar is a well known haunt of students but is also a haunt of Yorks prostitutes. Go in any night and you will see the same females sat at the bar but be warned if you take a fancy to one of these females you may get more than you expect as one of these is infected with HIV. It is not hard to pick out the prostitutes,they are the females who sit at the bar on there own but take a fancy to young men. My advice to any male students visiting the Evil Eye Bar is to avoid any contact with any female sat at the bar or who comes over to you and strikes up a conversation. I should also add that one of these female is at the end of her working life being in her mid thirties and being HIV the only trade she can get is drunk young students.you have been warned.

Of course the locations of the brothels can be printed. What on Earth are you worried about? Defaming the madam who runs it? My guess is that Vision doesn’t have even the vaguest idea where these brothels are, or if they even exist.

Nor, by the way, is it illegal to name sources who request anonymity. Journalistic bad practice, yes. Illegal, no.

Colm, it is illegal to pay for a brothel, so in that sense it is really quite objective. There is a difference between “scanalously moralising” and suggesting that doing illegal acts like using brothels is not a very good thing – hence why there are laws against it.

Anon,
The police told us it would be illegal.
Not really going to argue with that.

Confused, the location of the brothels cannot be printed for legal reasons. It is also illegal to name sources if they have requested to remain anonymous.

Sorry, I’m a little confused.

Is the story is that an anonymous person has said that their anonymous friend went to a brothel at an undisclosed location? Or is it that a survey of an unknown number of people using unknown methodology found that 20% or male students claim to have used prostitutes or know someone who did?

Either way the odd fact here and there wouldn’t go amiss.

Prostitution is hardly something people go around boasting about, not least because it is illegal. Stop picking holes “Colm”. Its petty.
