This is the transcript of a talk that Venessa MacLeod gave at an event organised by Ash Regan MSP in the Scottish Parliament on Thursday 8 January 2026. The event was to provide information about Regan’s Unbuyable Bill, which if passed would bring the Nordic Model to Scotland.
My name is Venessa and as a survivor of the Scottish sex industry, I am perhaps the only person in this room that can tell you how it feels to be raped by men in exchange for money.
For an insight to how these men perceive the women they purchase, let’s allow the punters a moment to speak for themselves by examining prostitute reviews from websites such as punternet.
One review says: ‘I climb on top, she’s avoiding eye contact and is lying motionless while I fuck her [and think] about something better than the thing on the bed.’
Another punter writes ‘[she] kept saying and moaning I was hurting her! [I] carried on in different positions.’
Another says; ‘[she was] completely uncommunicative… shoved loads of lube up her fanny… it became clear that this could only be a wank into the body of the girl.’
These are by no means an extensive collection of dehumanising reviews of women, nor are they the worst of the reviews you will find on these websites.
