Introduction

Perhaps surprisingly for a state that’s dictatorial in many ways, being an escort is a mostly legal business in the Dominion.

Being an escort carries a mild stigma as it’s unavoidably associated with prostitution in many people’s minds, but there’s nothing illegal about paying someone to hang out with you (or actually, to have sex with you).

As an aside, the Dominion takes a much dimmer view of pornography than prostitution; you’re far more likely to get arrested for attending a censored film night than going to a brothel, getting insensible on recreational substances and paying one or more people to screw your brains out while you’re being smothered in hot wax and jelly.

Generally the things that get you into trouble in sex work and related activities may include:

• Clients who have not reached majority age
• Violations of the Dominion equivalent of consumer law, eg 
  • Failure to provide services advertised
  • Failure to obtain clear consent (client or supplier)
  • Accidental injury to a client
• Unsafe health practices 
• Legal complications arising from pregnancy
• Operating a business from a premise without obtaining a commercial occupancy grant 
• Incorporating illicit substances into the work
• Attempting to corrupt or aiding in the corruption of a Dominion Official (usually both will be in trouble), eg
  • Exchanging sexual favours as a bribe 
  • Providing services to a Dominion Official while they are on duty

Additionally, the Dominion doesn’t have income tax so the whole ‘black economy’ associated with vice doesn’t come into play to a large extent.
