Dear Fraser1178,
Do you think you might be arrested for taking a service?
I imagine you know that many escorts, we are independent, we rent our apartments, we pay our publications, and are visited by gentlemen, without any problem. Furthermore, in my case, I'm registered in the best hotels in Buenos Aires, and I've never had any problems nor have I heard something like that.
Different, is if you visit an apartment where several young ladies (over two) that is "not legal" and you may have problems if certain issues are not fixed.
Cariņos,
Alejandra
Aqualung knows Argentine law better then anyone else on the site, since what he did for a living before he retired. This is what he posted before.

So, in effect, prostitution is "outside the law" - neither "legal" nor "illegal". Argentine jurisprudence pays no attention to "the night trade"? How curious!
I don't believe, however, that the "extralegal" status of prostitution is entirely helpful or even benign to the providers. I'm sure that one of the costs of doing business is to keep the local police happy, and that they have "legal" ways to make life rough for the uncooperative working-girl.
Thanks for bringing this question up, Fraser. I'd wondered about it myself, and heard it presented both ways. Tessan, thanks for pointing to Aqualung's answer; and Ale, thanks for your take on it from "inside the profession."

I read in some newspaper once, that prostitution was legalized because working girls were abused by police a lot.
Pimping is forbidden though. So when you run an appartment with several girls you are breaking the law.
Basically what Alejandra said, just it might feel better to you to hear it from one source more.
Most important thing is age: AFAIK they have to be 21 here. If they are under that age, better get away. Don't know how to ensure their age though. I'd say this is one of the reasons for forums like this one here to exist, to weed out black sheep, be it bad service or breaking law and moral standards.
I am following this issue in the forum. Procuring, is "illegal." Also, if the girls are under 21 years.
The departments that have more than two girls, which are run by an owner or not they are legal, and that person gets a percentage of the work of the young ladies. As I read somewhere, the owners, who should make you happy to imagine.
You can work independently, thereby not leaving any authority happy, because one with your body, do what you want.
Different are the agencies that make contacts, add a plus to the value that the girl comes, and just make contact.
Ale
Gents,
The factor in determining whether or not an individual is acting as a pimp is "To whom did you pay the money"?
Privados are legal because you always pay the girl, who then leaves the room and pays a previously agreed percentage to the madam.
Even in the blue collar clubs in Flores, you always hand the money to the girl, who generally turns right around and hands it to the madam / cashier behind the counter.
The bottom line is that the money has to pass through the girl's hands, although everyone recognizes that this procedure and its implied element of control is largely superficial.
Thanks,
Jackson
I have consulted with several criminal lawyers (known in Argentina) and I confirm that simply charge for a service, is illegal!
Why is it considered an illegal business.
The business of prostitution or engage in illegal brothels where:
1.-Forces a person to prostitution.
2.-When services are provided by minors.
3.-When you exert on the street.
4.-When you hire people without papers.
5.-"And especially" when you charge a fee for a service.
I live in Argentina, I read a lot, and I'm on the subject. If "as legal", I would have 20 apartments!
Alejandra
Ale,
Thank You for the contributions you make to the Argentina Private forum. You are a very valuable member of our group and and many us appreciate your postings very much.
Thank You for being my Friend and one of the best Escorts in the World, Beso's and I love you.
Exon
Are you drunk?
You are gushing and clearly need a trip back to BA to take the edge off.
Exon as always. Thanks! The rest, I'll tell you in private. And you, Mr. Easy. I have not the pleasure of meeting him, but I think it has a good sense of "humor "!
He also added that "thanks to the lack of credibility of the private apartments, (Private Apartment be understood as the place where there are more than two girls, and where a person from charging for their services) the Independent Escorts, we suffer.
1.- They put in the website, pictures of girls that are "not"
2.- Some of them charged to visitors who are looking for a girl who saw in page (which never existed) the equivalent of a service, just to have entered the apartment.
3.- Foreigners often are deceived and they also charge more.
4.-The girls in private apartments, are "swallows" today are a place tomorrow in another. If the client is missing something. No one knows anything!
I am being very sincere, and being in BA, would be good not to comment on this sort of thing. But as they say in my country. "I will not cover the sun with one finger."
Alejandra,
Easy Go is a good man and my friend. He has a madura Novia that lives outside Capital Federal that is not a professional working escort. She has a job, but Easy Go takes care of her. Easy Go is also computer genius and has helped Gysell in her business.
But several times I've taken him Mongering with me to different apartments. Mostly we "Window Stop", which is an American expression for just too look at the Girls.
From what I know about Argentine law's I agree with You. Gysell's apartment is probably Not 100 percent legal since Gysell has to take a part of the Girls earning to pay for the overhead of running the apartment. But Gysell provides a service for her girls which is unique in the apartment business Buenos Aires. Gysell use's the internet to advertise the apartment.
Gysell use's "target marketing", which means she tries for mostly English speaking tourist which has worked out very well for her. And because of the volume of business she has her pick of the best girls to work for her.
It is more difficult for You being 100 percent independent. You have to rent your own apartment which probably cost you a $1,000 peso's a month and then you have to pay for the various escort websites you advertise on. But your business is 100 percent legal. That is the difference between your business and Gysell's.
Now if you remember back 3 or 4 years ago when we first met you asked me to post a recommendation for You on the Argentina Hombres forum. I said "No", I'll post a recommendation on the American forum, AP Private. And then I encouraged you to open you own thread on the Forum and post yourself which you did.
That has changed your business because now you have many English speaking clients that post very good recommendations about you in English. This leads to more and more Americans that want to meet you and try your services.
I would like you to learn from Gysell and at the same time incorporate your skills which would improve your business. You are one of the few escorts that has a computer and you speak a little English.
Ale you need to have your own website build and post it in various places on the internet. This will raise you above the competition with the other independent escorts. Ale you are a beautiful woman.

Beso's and Mucho Amor.
Exon
Dear Exon,
You know. And you know me well, that comparisons are not good. I do not know who is Gyselle, nor have I talked about it. The main theme was "legal or Ilegal" and I explained a little more openly the issue.
With regard to my business, I'm in this activity since January 2008. Why. I do not need and to enhance my income, because I have two projects in hand. One of them will be presented by me, when the right time, in this forum.
The other is a family project.
I am grateful to the people of this forum, and I will continue thanking.
With regard to my links, frankly, I do not bond with other girls. And when it does, not by private apartments.
Exon, te quiero mucho. But, frankly, every day, I look forward my business.
Alejandra
Yep! Who cares? Certainly not me!

A while back, someone posted an article with an interview of a local Buenos Aires prosecutor. He said that prostitution -- per se -- is legal. This is based on the woman's right to do what she wants with her body. I can't find the link any longer, and it likely doesn't work any more because the article would be four years old or so.
What isn't legal, according to the prosecutor, is pimping.
This might explain why privados get in trouble. To the extent you're taking a cut from what the chica makes, you're pimping.
If the above is accurate, then perhaps it would also explain why the clubs work the way they do. They charge an entrance fee. They charge expensive prices for drinks. They generally require you to buy a chica drink before you leave with one. But, they do not take a cut of what the chica negotiates.
I'm sure there are clubs that violate this, and there undoubtedly are issues that are closer to the line -- e. G. Charging chicas an entrance fee to work (rather than an exit fee when they're leaving with a client) But, if the above line is accurate -- prostitution is legal but pimping is not -- then that might suggest that the privados are on the wrong side of that line. I can imagine some of the arguments the privados might make: We're not taking a cut, we're just charging a room rental fee. But, there's a point at which the authorities won't buy an argument like that, at least in the States.
