Yes, though it would be nice if the law was clear & detailed enough so those under the law knew their boundaries, or what they were allowed and not allowed to do.As it's mentioned in the department of justice website, the courts will decide case by case. Did you know that law isn't an exact science ?
The article which you kindly provided says:
"Sexual activity in the context of ongoing relationships also fails to meet the test, unless the evidence shows that the alleged consideration was contingent on the provision of a particular sexual service.Footnote 28 In one case, gifts given to the complainant were not viewed as consideration for sexual favours rendered, but rather as gifts given “dans le cadre plus large de la relation affective entre l’accusé et le plaignant”.Footnote 29 Another case held that the phrase “sexual services for consideration” is not intended to apply to consensual actions between those having an affinity towards one another.Footnote 30
"The following activities have been found to constitute a sexual service or an act of prostitution, if provided in return for some form of consideration: lap-dancing, which involves sitting in the client’s lap and simulating sexual intercourse;Footnote 31 masturbation of a client in the context of a massage parlour, whether or not the client climaxes;Footnote 32 and, sado-masochistic activities, provided that the acts can be considered to be sexually stimulating/gratifying.Footnote 33 However, jurisprudence is clear that neither acts related to the production of pornography,Footnote 34 nor strippingFootnote 35 meet the test. In most cases, physical contact, or sexual interaction, between the person providing the service and the person receiving it is required; however, acts for which consideration is provided that take place in a private room in a club and that are sexual in nature, but do not involve physical contact between the “client” and “performer”, such as self-masturbation, have been found to constitute prostitution.Footnote 36"
Can anyone translate the French portion into English?
So if you mutually have "an affinity" with your SP, you might be off the hook for paying for sex, eh? Like a mistress or sugar baby, perhaps? I'd like to read about that case (footnote 30), if anyone could help direct me to it.
