Euphoria agency in the news

Blackjackmac said:

I am not calling her a liar. She obviously had bad experiences in the same way that working as a waitress would have them. But because of the nature of the industry she is able to parlay her redemption into a living which and ex-waitress never could

Yes I see what you mean but her story is still very confusing to me. It doesn't seem like she had a lot of street smarts when she began. She explains that she was a people pleaser with a hard time saying no, very naive and sheltered too.. and that she had another image of what this industry would be like. I think that when you remember how young she was when she joined the industry, a lot of this is easy to believe. It's complicated.

Personally I just don't think most people that young are ready to enter an industry like this. You need to have mental fortitude, proper boundaries and experience in order to survive it. Let's just say it's not the same level of customer service as being a waitress.

For those who haven't watched Enquete:

Well well. Many predicted back in March, when the XO carnival started, that it was best to avoid agencies for now and that it was only a matter of time before the others were targeted in some form. This time it wasn't law enforcement. But ultimately it's almost as bad, in a sense.

Will be interesting to see what happens with Forever. We all know their connections to XO. Hell, those of us who used them and XO know Forever already had all our info on file, carried over from XO.

None of the reporting is a surprise. The journalists likely have never used these services, or at least aren't as deep in this world as we are. They don't know the nuance, and you will never see a positive mainstream story about sex work on this scale.

Just as XO became Forever, a new agency will appear before long.

Last time I used Euphoria was in July, I had a bad experience due to the door panel being broken again. I don't know with how often their door panel get broken, they didn't find an alternative or solution for that. Because asking clients to enter when a resident is entering/leaving just make us look suspicious. And they only let me know the door panel was broken when I texted I am near the address, not before I book.


Stuff like this just raise suspicion.

This 'journalist' Romain Schué sucks, the 'investigation' was clearly one-sided and biased. Not one mention of women who choose and are content with their participation in this industry, even agencies, as @Ariel18 's testimony confirms.

He's not biased, it's how journalism works. It's the angle they chose for the episode: to show the bad side of agencies.

Tu as totalement raison, l'angle éditorial tendait à démontrer les poncifs habituels associés au travail du sexe; par contre, il existe un univers dans lequel le journaliste a le droit (le devoir?) de questionner le status quo. Pas forcément le choix qui a été fait.

Euphoria site is down. I guess they are closing.

The market is not diminishing in the oldest business of the world. Euphoria's market share is going elsewhere. I hope for the girls it won't be in a more dangerous and criminalized place like street gangs violence but I doubt it. Pretty sure a dozen of girls will get in a much worse situation as a collateral consequence of this article.

New additions already on Forever roster, wonder why lol

The media is a business like any other. They need to sell advertising, and to sell they need subscribers, listeners and viewers. An unbiased report isn’t sexy nor controversial. They know what they’re doing. That’s why there’s always News station or newspaper for both sides of the spectrum; somewhere that will justify your beliefs, regardless of what those may be. You lean left, you swear by CNN. You lean right, Fox is your channel. They build viewers and they make money.

Like Forever formed, another agency will arise in the coming months. Who knows, maybe Forever decides that incall locations aren’t worth the squeeze.

The XO story was much worse than this, and look at Forever now, arguably the strongest agency in MTL. I can’t speak for all, but look at us. A few days passed and it was back to business as usual.

I personally have a booking with VOG later day.

It's how journalism works yes, to a degree, but that's still a bias and the way he contacted people in the industry didn't show his true intentions.. It's not just agencies that are shown in this episode, and the way they are exposing this "bad side" makes it hard for anyone involved to take it seriously. I don't think most people who work for agencies are easy to talk to. In the past few years I've been anonymously contacted by many girls who work for them, because they like my comments here.. I've also talked to acquaintances who worked for them. I've heard a lot of negative stories and mixed experiences, overall most people didn't have great things to say, won't lie, but nothing like what is shown in this documentary.

I also think this journalist actually doesn't care about girls who work at these places, because he was so adamant to reveal the identity of people who own these agencies, where they are, etc. It would be stupid to believe that this isn't going to prevent people from having a place to work. I took many classes on documentary film making & journalism when I was in university and there is a responsibility and a sense of ethics to consider, particularly when you want to dig into a delicate subject like this. It feels like he is infantilizing us honestly.

He could have shown the bad side of agencies without showing these buildings, preventing girls from having a place to work.. he didn't have to do this stupid ''infiltration'' from which we learned nothing. he could have talked to different workers including some who still work at agencies and who want to remain there even if they don't necessarily like all aspects of the job, or people who have worked for agencies who aren't Clementine and aren't completely traumatized by it but have some criticisms to make. He didn't have to bring out a girl who had a pimp at 14 years old, he didn't have to go to this ''home for victims of sexual exploitation''. Neither of these things have anything to do with agencies. He could have talked to people who work for Stella, which he said he had or would in one of the emails he sent me. He could have talked to professionals who don't have an abolitionist agenda.

2 Euphoria 2 Girls

Just a sign of time: one dying profission drag another down with it.

The so call journalist do a “story” for his or her paycheck regardless how many gets affected.

The confusing part is the word “ story”, which frees him or her from any consequence, either from truth or faction or a mix of both.

It is biased in the sense that this journalism works associated Euphoria with the XO situation and that fuck up doctor. Xo is under the accusation of using an underage girl. All the negative comments about mistreatements are related to XO in this investigation. I dont pretend that Euphoria is clean but the journalist didnt bring anything factual against that agency. The general feeling left is that agencies are all the same and they all treat badly the sex workers. Their premise is that sex work is bad and they go up from there...
