If you smell something fishy, it's probably already too late. Remember, the prosecutor doesn't have to be right, he just has to convince a jury he is right. If you are hobbying, he actually is right. Oh, and the legal fight will cost you many thousands of $$.

I have been reading a lot of these posts. I think I will give this new Texas dumb ass congress bitch law the middle finger and vacation in Thailand. I think all of us legitimate mongers aught to retire there, it's pretty cheap to live and play. I did some research, If you hobby, pay rent, food, beer, insurance, gas, utilities, retirement visa, and cable/internet, your cost will be around $2100 month.
In fact this whole country is going down the crapper, I have been in the AMP hobby for 23 years and I think I have seen the end of good clean fun.
Just my 2 penny's worth.

Pattaya City here I come!!

If your estimate is correct, I pay that in rent alone.

With the exchange rate at 32 to 1 it's very cheap to live there. I found a luxury beachfront condo, 1 bedroom for $1100. You can actually get a condo there for as low as $400/month. My advise for the hobby is stay away from the Bar girls. The gentlemen's clubs are worth it. The freelancers are hit and miss.

I just looked up the definition of sexual contact under Section 43 of the Texas Penal Code (the section that covers prostitution). Touching of genitals with the intent to arouse is included, so all three levels commonly discussed here would appear to be illegal if you’re paying for it.

"Arouse? What about of you suffer from ED?"

“intent to arouse”. It doesn’t matter if she succeeds. Here’s the definition, fwiw (Section 43.01(3)):

"Sexual contact" means any touching of the anus, breast, or any part of the genitals of another person with intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person.

While Bitcoin transactions (and those of newer cryptocurrencies) can be obscured, payments on the Bitcoin network are inherently traceable, public, and permanent.

FYI, I checked this morning and not one Republican or Democrat voted against the bill.

All it is going to take is one the Texas congressmen with his hand in the cookie jar, be it with an indy or at a studio, because it will happen, and let's see what happens to him. After all, he voted for the law to become a felony if convicted.

I will be more than satisfied if we could just catch Abbott in that predicament. Talk about poetic justice.
