It behooves us to practice the hobby in ways to NOT support sex trafficking. Some suggestings:

1. Avoid younger providers that may claim is their ads to be 18 or 19. If you go ahead and book with a provider and then upon meeting her she appears to be under age, WALk AWAY. Admittedly, many young providers are very attractive, but it seems just too risky.

2. Avoid providers that seem to be "managed" by a pimp. To me, one probable indication of that is when the phone number in an ad shows up in a google search for different providers. While it's true that some providers may share the same phone, the pimp option seems more likely. Other pimp clues is when they show up in photos in a provider's ad. Suggestions for other pimp indicators?

I recognize that there are numerous exceptions to both of these suggestions where the providers that may fit into these categories would NOT be part of a sex trafficking scheim, but they are ones that come to mind. I welcome your comments on these suggestions as well as other suggestions to avoid supporting sex trafficking.

The sad thing is that I doubt that very many attending will differentiate between the the under age sex trafficers and vast majority of us that are mature adults enjoying each other and not hurting a soul.

Many of the ideas presented in the comments above are sane, rational and practical. I fear that as long as the religionists hold such political power in our society, sex outside of marriage of 1 man and 1 woman will be marginalized at least, and (in their world view) outlawed at best. Sad. This is a very good thread, however.
