Hello all,
I've been a hobbyist for a few years and, seeing the post about Epstein being bumped brought a question I had some time ago, and discussed with a few friends, regarding our responsibility as hobbyists in preventing human trafficking.
It is my belief that every woman I am seeing in relation to the hobby (be it strip clubs, MPs or escorts) has to be doing it of her own accord. I walked out after meeting ladies 4 times in the last 5 years due to them seeming too young and unwilling/unable to verify their age or due to them looking like they're under the control of a pimp (DV marks, seeming afraid, other evidence of them having a pimp) (always made sure to pay them the agreed upon fee so they don't get in trouble).
I also believe that human/sex trafficking is the greatest threat to our hobby. If there was no trafficking and it could be verified that the ladies in the industry are there of their own accord, there would be no incentive for the government to apply harsh laws. Inversely, if there was a surge in trafficking, it could push the government to vote in harder laws and/or the police to do more stings.
Here's the question: where do you draw the line regarding your personal responsibility to "fight" trafficking? Is avoiding SPs that seem to be victims of such schemes enough? Should we carry information flyers about ressources for such women and hand them out if we suspect foul play? Should we provide anonymous reports to the authorities to help them catch the pimps if we have evidence that the woman is stuck in this situation?
