While I know some of what this study says to be true, a lot of it seems far from my / our experiences as mongers on this board. I know we represent a fraction of those who "buy sex," but I don't see the level of exploitation, masochism, or other negative qualities described here. I also see the women on their side of the coin with a lot more power than is suggested. Maybe not on the streets, but the AMP girls and escorts we all see are generally older, independent, and are making a lot of $$$ from us. They're also ripping us off from time to time and usually telling us how it's going to be, not us telling them.

Give this a read and see what you think.

I agree I think some of that is true. I think if it was legal it wouldn't be like that for most women. Ever been to a brothel in nevada those girls live like queens are happy and live a normal life outside of work. Thats the way it should be!

Is very one sided. The study was financed by an anti-prostitution group. The article is correct that there are many girls / women that are trafficked, but it not the vast majority of the women. The younger women / girls are more likely to be trafficked than the more mature women. I also agree with TwistedBrother that many of the women we see are more in control of their own situations. I may be in the minority of "sex buyers" but I try to treat the women that I see with respect. But then again I do not hit my spouse or kick my dog or get in fights with friends or strangers. I know that even the most inexpensive ladies are charging more per hour than most of their customers make per hour.

Ben.Wait, please tell me that you didn't just suggest that the only reason that people shouldn't mess with children is that it could be a sting? That's kind of how that comes across but surely that's not how you meant that?

You know, I thought the same exact thing. It really comes across that way.I'm sorry, this came out wrong. What I meant to say was that is not ok to do what this LEO just did.
