Sex Trafficking

They say Houston is the biggest hub for sex trafficking in the USA. Most of us hobbyist are just lonely and men with disposable income who love women but not the baggage or time needed to satisfy our deepest physical needs. It's physical and we need the affection, physical and/or psychological closeness with women if you didn't or in my case couldn't follow the normal dating, and marrying path, but don't want to exacerbate the cruel and evil world of sex slavery especially when you have a daughter, niece, sister, mother, etc...

Law Enforcement is clueless, they target, the girl, the "johns", but hardly the "pimps", if it wasn't for the sex trade and these pimps were treating and forcing these girls they way they do in non sexual fasion, they would be in prison or mental hospitals as torturers, sex offenders and murderers. Legalizing it would allow the law to keep close tabs on it and allow real choice on who is involved and regulate. Won't happen because of religion beliefs but it is a losing war with confused kids, single mothers, and predators running the show. Sex, Drugs, and alcohol well always be around but how we regulate it, criminally or commercially, will affect the producers more than the consumers and the producers(traffickers) are more dangerous now than any criminal group I can think of in recent history. Sorry, time to get off my soapbox.

Your last statement about the traffickers being more notorious than the the drug cartels is just being overly dramatic.

My Soapbox

If a young girl you feel is being trafficked and a sex slave under a pimp, what is the going rate to free her? I know she may just turn around and get back with her pimp but how much will a pimp let a girl go, I know they trade girls between each other all the time but if I wanted to set a girl on a free path out of the business, does anyone know the going rate, not including counseling, getting her had back to parents or others who love her and want to protect her, but the starting point for a average girl who wants out. I know the highest earner will command more but just a negotiating start point. Don't worry, I'm not a cop or reverand who wants to make a difference but some gils I know they want out and if I could I might want to help them Especially the younger ones. The hotties I am in love with will always get my business but all these trafficking shows make me want to help some of the less fortunate.

Cartels do most of the trafficking and for drugs, they kill and maim with sex trafficking they psychologically kill the girl's spirits and souls , drugging them so they are addicts and die a slow death being tortured daily until they want to die, which they usually do.

Is it just me?

These bitchs ain't slaves like that, you act like your going to buy Dajangos wife out the damn hot box. A pimp does not trade girls he keeps them, he may have a bitch run off but he ain't trading her like a Yugio card. Maybe back in the day that happened, but for the most part these are thugs with no ability to work together. I think you give to much thought to the whole over hyped trafficking thing. There is a church on bissonet between 59 and the beltway. You can volunteer there if you really want to help. They do testing hand out flyers and shit like that. Go now. Save a hoe.

That's what I thought...
Dramatics.
To knowingly patronize someone you suspect as being a "sex slave" is really kinda creepy. I think you're perpetuating the hype by jumping to conclusions like that. If you really think these girls are part of some sex trafficking thing, then you shouldn't be talking about it here but like Trey said, go to the church and let them handle it, or if you're bold and foolish, report it to the cops.
Some girl used to be an advocate against trafficking, Brooke? Amy? Long ago.

These busts are supposedly targeted toward "underage girls". That's supposed to be the whole reason behind it. I think 90% of us are against that but that is the guise.

I have seen several of those documentaries referring to Houston as the hub. Most of them are few years old.

Another truth is you cannot tell who is pimped and who is not. Every girl seems to say that every other girl has a pimp/Daddy.

I just try to stay away from anyone close to 18 - 20, not saying that this justifies what I do..ijs

A substantial number of girls in the world are trafficked, yes, and it's shameful and unequivocally needs to end. However, I don't think the U.S. (nor in particular Houston) is up to its chin to the extent that the media, LE, and the morality monitors play it, not in comparison with other countries.

Problem is that those trafficked girls aren't on ECCIE, so discussing it here does very little good. Lumping professional companions who approach this as a career choice into the same category (what the media, LE, and the MM seem to revel in) is plain ridiculous, and steals the focus from where it should be.

Society doesn't like to admit that there are women who WANT to do this for a living, enjoy it, make good money at it, have goals in mind while at it, and who have actually risen above worse situations doing it.

We need a clearly distinct separation point so that help will go where needed and the rest of us working women are left alone, but I don't think it will happen in my Hobby lifetime.

The trafficking hysteria is a follow-the-money type deal. Taxpayer money. It's dawned on the ruling class that because most Americans do not give a shit about prostitution it's become more difficult to plunder productive citizens in order to fund the incestuous law enforcement-legal representation industrial complex...but shake a little sprinkle of sex-trafficking disinformation into the mix and, VOILA, there stands the pot of money for various sting operations ... and the lives of large numbers of ordinary mutts and muttettes get ruint.

Sort of a variation on The Light Rail fetish and the Global Warming scam: orchestrated fear-mongering for the sole purpose of raising government revenue/power.

This is a problem?

Many, many years ago... I used to be a reporter in the media. I left because of all the trumped up bullshit that is put out for ratings. 50% of what is reported, which may be factual, is blown out of proportion for sensationalism to grab ratings. Why do you think that all of the shit on the news is negative? Because most people enjoy watching the misery of others.

I thinck the OP just watched the movie "Taken."

The US government defines sex trafficking as...

whoever knowingly


in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, or within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, recruits, entices, harbors, transports, provides, obtains, or maintains by any means a person; or

benefits, financially or by receiving anything of value, from participation in a venture which has engaged in an act described in violation of paragraph

knowing, or in reckless disregard of the fact, that means of force, threats of force, fraud, coercion described in subsection (e)(2), or any combination of such means will be used to cause the person to engage in a commercial sex act,

So just about any pimp is a trafficker....and Houston has lots of pimps.
