Surprised LE hasn’t gone after them. Especially with its link to local agencies.

That crossed my mind the other day. From my understanding they all work under the same person or people except for the few independent providers who happen to post on there. I haven't had any outstanding sessions from any of the girls in groups. They all gave a terrible massage and were only interested in me paying more for upgrades. Sometimes I wonder why they don't advertise as FS since that's what most of them provide. I like to see both FS and massage providers but when I go for a massage provider I expect a massage. Not 5 different sales pitches in 60 minutes trying to get me to pay more for FS.  

I avoided seeing a girl who posted on MNE because I thought she was with one of the groups where I didn't like the location. After I read some of her new reviews I realized she was independent and not associated with any of the groups. I ended up visiting her. I asked her how she found MNE and she said clients kept mentioning it so she started posting on it.  I don't think she had any idea it's ran by schedulers or higher up.. From now on I look for the girls who use a phone number since they are usually independent and don't work in big groups.  Another reason I prefer independents I would rather it be one on one. More discretion and I'd like to think a cleaner atmosphere. I've found some pretty good ones in the area and some not so good ones which usually leads me to writing them a review. I used to use a texting app to keep in contact with them but I recently bought a separate phone to keep things off my personal line since my phone plan is shared. I keep it hidden in my garage when it's time to go inside for the day and grab it out when I'm planning to visit with someone.

It is late, and I am drinking, but I will try to frame this into a positive and possibly educational response.

Yes, one particular group runs the website in question, and to be frank, I don't know or care, who those particular individuals are.

It is not some nebulous over shadowing power group.  Some of the girls and some of the locations work for them.  Many other groups, and independents, do not, and they use it because it connects the provider with the customer.  Think marketplace or craigslist.  Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

The organized groups do have a basic working model.  A shared location, several girls there, and they will have more girls than there are rooms that way when you walk in to see a particular lady you see some of the eye candy there and get all dumbed up and are thinking about seeing one of the other ones before you even interact with the one you are there to see..  It's an effective business model and it works.

The girls working there are not "owned" or slaves but rather independent contractors.  They pay a fee for each session.  Say a girl has a 200$/hr massage rate.  The house may charge anywhere from 80-100$ per booked session.  So while you think a 200$ hour long massage session makes that particular girl rich she's may be making  only 100$ for the hour she spends with you.

Where these girls make a living is in the "upgrades".  Anything beyond the basic service is theirs to keep.

You can have whatever current thought process you have that I am trying very hard not to disparage but if you continue with the attitude you espouse in your post you are cutting yourself off from many possibly wonderful and positive experiences.

Say I do meet with one who is part of these "oh so despicable" groups and she turns out to be amazing, and later on after learning how this lifestyle works, she decides to commit to this business and become independent and has a successful career that way, she likes me, and we've always had positive interactions, and now that she is doing this for herself, and remembers how I have always been a good client and a positive experience she "grandfathers" me in at her old rate.

You won't have that kind of good fortune with your current approach.  I have several women with whom I have such a relationship with and some of these go back for many years.

Now as far as your comments about your "girls who use a phone number" comment there's a lot there that needs to be said.  You enter that part of your comments as if this is some kind of magical elixir that makes things better and safer.

You are at risk whether it be communication via email or text.  You get to decide your relative comfort vs safety level all by yourself.

I hide nothing from friends and family, I am not married, nor do I have kids.  I am not the best source for someone who appears to be married to give you advice about how to "hide" what you are doing.  Hopefully others can chime in on that.

Why would you ever use a texting app?  That app is always on your phone.  Email is safer if you don't load the email websites app onto your phone just and log into each time you use it.  How many guys go down the suspicion road with their wives with something that starts as small as "Why does he have that app on his phone?"

It seems reckless to hobby using a shared phone plan but you seem to have grown beyond that and kudos to you by getting a burner phone.

Why would you keep something like that in your home?  That's not potentially dangerous, your spouse would never go in the garage and find it wondering "Why is there an extra phone in our house?"  Keep it in a locker at the gym, or at your desk at work.

He nailed better than it’s been said here before about MNE.

The vast majority of the complaints I have heard come from those who can't get a response from the schedulers, even if they were well known regulars at one point.

Just checked your reviews. You either are not having good luck with your method or only post bad reviews.

What's that got to do with reviews? I'm just wondering how they lasted this long. I thought the FOSTA law made it tougher for websites promoting adult ads. That's why BP and CL shut down their adult ad business. But in this case, the website itself is managed by the agency.

You are correct but where do you see anything in the posted adds directly offering services (illegal) for dollars.  
Just posting very nice pics with suggestive adds.  
What is important is if and when LE goes after them how about the client list.
Always wondered why pre Fosta Sesta a very prominent scheduler quit the business.
One possibility is he was asked to abstain from doing business or - - - -

...get sacked by Uncle Leo.  If they pinch the right gal and get her to say the right things to light the Human Trafficking fuse, shit's gonna get interesting.  Election year ahead and it would make great headlines even though the HT charges probably won't be talked about again once the papers have hit the news stand.  

Don't worry guys, just have your lawyer explain to the asst DA or investigator that is sending letters to your house that your info was supposed to be destroyed and life isn't fair and stuff.  Yes, your attorney will tell you they've got a big hill to climb in getting actual charges to stick but your wife's attorney will be laughing his/her ass off when you try to reach a fair settlement in your divorce.

If there are charges, the State and County Attorney Offices will likely go after the people on the apartment lease, bookers, and drivers (if any).  

Just need 1 John to confess to unravel the whole operation.

…. That would take to get somebody to start singing when they send letters to hundreds of Johns?  Be the first one to step in and help us end “human trafficking” and we will clear you have any applications from your activities.  The switchboard would light up…

I don't know that LE can get to the people behind this from a John's confession.  They would need to get at someone who knows the identities of the people running the operation.

Your name in someone's database isn't evidence of anything.  
.
Show me a case where a client has been charged based on their info alone being in the possession of a sex worker.  Even the press would hesitate to publish such a list due to the possibility of incorrect information in the list that would bring massive lawsuits.

But a detective knocking on your door or a letter from the DA’s office asking for your input or to see if you’d like to volunteer to make a statement being your info was in the client list…well, that’s about all it would take for a half ass divorce attorney to make your SO’s case in court.

If there’s no consent issues, it’s a matter of adults doing what they want and a lot of very difficult hurdles for a prosecutor to make anything from it…as in tough hill to climb as said in the post.  It’s about perspective of the monger that makes the difference.  A single dude with zero to lose has no worries, the married guy with a fat 401k, kids, lakehome etc a simple implication (being in the database) could/would be a financial death sentence.

I loved supporting and enjoying the local massage groups when they started on BP years ago but it is a different experience now.  It was nice to go to a house in uptown or a large commercial space with big rooms and having PRIVACY during a session.  Now these girls are crammed into tiny apartments and you not only ride up the elevator with another Johnny but get to hear him in the room next to you having an orgasm.  

The two major sugar baby websites have ten times the amount of girls and much hotter talent compared to MNE.  Most of the top MNE girls even advertise on those sites.

Is there any reason we can't discuss SA girls who advertise publicly on this forum?

It would be great to hear some clarification on my question.  Are we allowed to discuss SA girls on this forum who advertise publicly?  

Ah I see you mentioned sugar baby sites, so I assume SA is Seeking.  Consensus on the Erotic Highway forum here, which has become the sugar babe discussion forum, is that we should treat sugar babes differently in regard to not reviewing them than we do for pros, even if pros work the Seeking forum.  If they have a pro side, then the reviewing should be on their pro side, not on their sugar side.
.
There is a legal distinction between sugaring and hooking ... but it all depends on pretty subjective facts, like is there anything resembling a relationship and not just cash and carry.  Sugaring is legal, because there is supposedly a relationship and you can give money to anyone in a relationship and they can give you sex, and the state can 't get involved in policing relationships.  But absent a relationship they call it prostitution and it's illegal.
.
So if we are discussing  sugar babes here and it kinda seems like they are, in fact, hooking, then we put them in jeopardy by discussing them.  So we don't.  Anyhow that's the general consensus.  If you are interested in sugar babes, you should frequent the Erotic Highway forum here on TER.  

Yes, SA is Seeking.

I’m not an attorney so can’t speak to your legal opinions.  

I don’t have a problem with TER allowing sugar reviews.  They should be categorized in a different place from escorts and massage providers though.  Let the reader decide on their own like they do reading any other review.  I also don’t see why it would be an issue for guys on here to share sugar stories.  As much as us older guys might not like it, sugar sites and social media HAS become the future of hobbying for those looking to see independents.

I'm not sure that they do.  They have a separate section for massage parlor girls and given that TER has made The Erotic Highway the forum for discussing them, my suspicion is they probably don't want them.

To write one the first thing is the Sugar Baby would have to have a website or add or some other acceptable link to be able to review.

True but I wonder if even then TER would accept it if she was clearly not an escort.
