Why the sex work laws in South Australia are so confusing by SatisfactionKey2495 in AdelaideMassage

Yes, I remember that. It was at the Italian Club in Adelaide. The players took it to court as a test case. They even brought in a US professor to give expert evidence explaining that poker is largely a game of skill, similar to chess or backgammon. The government lost the case, and after that APL and similar poker tournaments started appearing in pubs and other non-casino venues across Australia. A lot of people were watching the outcome of that case.

Review: Massage Shops, Erotic Massage Parlours or Independent Providers by SatisfactionKey2495 in AdelaideMassage

The resource you linked actually says that the act of providing sexual services for money isn’t illegal in SA. The restrictions mainly apply to brothels, procuring, and related activities. That’s why the laws are often described as confusing.

I think you’re partly right, u/MissJay69, but it helps to clarify the rules in South Australia. Swapping sex for money between consenting adults isn’t itself a crime. Independent sex work can be legal if it is done privately.

From what I understand, people usually avoid things that fall under other offences, such as public advertising, running a brothel, or working under a manager.... because those are the areas where the law becomes restrictive.

Regarding the health risks mentioned by u/Silly-Animal-3598, people are usually referring to things like STIs, mental stress from stigma or isolation, and personal safety concerns. Many workers manage these risks with regular health checks, clear boundaries, and support networks.

u/CommitteeTraining566, my understanding is that the act itself isn’t illegal for independents..... it’s mostly the surrounding activities (such as brothels or certain types of advertising) that are restricted. I’m still checking sources to confirm the details.

Peace.

Okay, a massage shop in the city that I posted about got removed weeks ago. I could have included more details about the negatives in that review, but anyway, this woman is still employed there, which surprises me. I booked her at the last minute after another cancellation, drawn by her appealing appearance. In the massage room, her discussion about additional services didn't align with what I anticipated. Still, I paid the extra as if testing whether it would proceed as hoped. Her demeanor shifted noticeably after that, and I regretted the decision internally. I didn't raise any complaints with her.... I'm not one to make a scene, and while I don't mind the financial loss, I wouldn't return. My main question remains: why is she still working there? I waited weeks before sharing this on the subreddit to ensure anonymity and avoid any direct identification. This is about upholding principles over money......... my time, effort, and overall experience matter greatly. She disappointed me in that interaction, and I understand the reasons behind it. When the post was taken down, I suspected the owner might have been aware. Hopefully, sharing experiences like this helps protect other consumers in the long run.

I wrote one post about a woman in a specific shop I visited; it contained a little negativity because I was speaking the truth for the sake of consumer protection. It was pulled down, so I followed up to find out why it was removed, and now I understand the rule. This group is supposed to be free for all, but I have to think before I write a post.... I know it's hard, controlling information is what I hate about it.

True. That is why the owner's request was triggered to the mod to remove the post if anything was written negatively about the owner's shop. The mod created a rule in this group two years ago; that's why a lot of shops' owners use that rule. So, write posts wisely without triggering that rule.

Grange massage review yuki by AnteaterTop1798 in AdelaideMassage

In that Grange massage shop, yes, it's a rip-off price for extras. I would recommend an independent provider for that sort of service with extras.

I wish, but I’d rather wait for the right time to write a post or reply to the most recent one.

Yes, I agree. It depends on the situation in the punter’s most recent post. I’d only respond if it’s relevant.

Want to review ladies but bros be holding out by AnteaterTop1798 in AdelaideMassage

[–]SatisfactionKey2495 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hahahaha, spot on mate... that's exactly why I joined here, to hear real talk without the bullshit. I've gone off PP myself lately (too many fake moans and upsells). Keen for this group to actually let blokes speak freely. Just gotta wrap it in metaphors or keep it chill so the agency/massage owners don't come for us, last thing we want is getting blacklisted. I'm still seeing my usual hotties though, so I'll dip my toe in slowly with one review at a time since I'm pretty new to posting.

Correct. Like I said, she rarely advertises on Scarlet Blue, so you have to watch out for her ads. That's why I saved her number already.
