Government Issues Manual For Prostitutes

[matcom]

<snip>

THE New Zealand government, having taken the step of legalising prostitution, has now issued a guide for sex workers.

The 100-page Occupational Safety and Health guide to safe sex practices has been launched on a government website with the caution: "Warning: this document contains sexually explicit material".

The recommendations - which the New Zealand Herald said will also be distributed to brothels and sex workers - include detailed advice on safe sex practices such as the storage and handling of sex toys and disinfecting equipment.

Employers are asked to ensure condoms in a variety of shapes and sizes are always available, and to provide beds that support the back for a variety of services to be performed without strain or discomfort.

Sex workers are cautioned to watch out for occupational overuse syndrome, often caused by rapid repetitive tasks or forceful movements, and to carry a small torch in case they need to check clients for sexually transmitted diseases.

4. So I can

"lighten" up a bit... amazing what runs through your mind when you have the wrong interpreteratations of a word.... :)

Just listened to this guy on CSPAN chewing on democrats... saying they support communism and such.... pretty hard to watch.

His site is www.frontpagemag.com and I think it should be taken down... in fact I think it should be sued to hell and back.... will the people who have such capabilities get all over this please!!!

6. Censorship is never the answer.

The truth is. Counter the lies with the truth and let the people see what crap that website is.

[whistle]

2. This manual sounds a lot more practical than the report...

...that Attorney General Edwin Meese, under Ronald Reagan wrote on Pornography. It sounds like industrial engineers may have worked on this particular document. However, if U.S. prostitutes plan to use the New Zealand report as a handbook, they should be cautioned to check the language if unsure of the meaning of some words. In New Zealand, Australia, U.K. and other British commonwealth countries, a torch is a flashlight. :think:
