Just watched the movie Tricked.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricked_(film). It brought many thoughts and questions to mind:
I feel like this problem is probably rampant on Backpage, but it made me wonder if this is a concern any of us have with providers who are on ECCIE, P411, TER, etc. ? I prefer women on ECCIE because I perceive it more as a business for them and they are doing by their own choice, or even because they actually like doing it.
Are we contributing to the problem by participating in The Hobby?
If we do encounter someone we think may be providing services against their will, what do you do about it? Has anyone encountered this? I really haven't, but I stay away from the younger women in general. It seems like most of the victims of trafficking are younger?
I know for some women, it is a means to making ends' meet when they might otherwise not be able to, or it provides extra income to supplement an otherwise low paying job. But the idea of some pimp out there treating women like slaves and animals turns my stomach.
The idea they are doing it out of desperation is kind of depressing, too, but I know lots of people have problems and I can't solve them all. I do feel like at least I am helping them at least a little (even though they are helping me ALOT more!), but I'm still left with a kind of a sadness when I encounter a provider for whom this seems to be an only/last resort.
I am often conflicted by the idea that satisfying my powerful love of women and sexual desire may be hurting the person who is satisfying that need. But it's either that or lose my fucking mind.
Does anyone else have these same thoughts or feelings? Or maybe this is too personal?
