Failure to think through the consequences of your actions (to a reasonable degree) is immoral. The more indirect your experience, the better the justification must be.

So yet, there is something wrong. Even if you don’t grant my claim above, it’s still a cognitive failure.

I wouldn’t want to fuck a woman who was being forced into it. Most men wouldn’t. I could see men wanting to role-play coercive situations: “I’ve just conquered your village and claimed you as my prize. Uh, how rough and barbaric is OK for me to be? Oh, and can you whimper and cry a little? Thanks, WENCH!”

That was the one good thing about the communist countries; they didn’t buy into the pimp mythology, and they did not consider prostitutes as victims (but rather as “petit bourgeois”).

True. I seen so many blogs and forums where the moment any kind of prostitution is mentioned, men start posting things like “It’s so sad”, “Once they’ve been forced into sex work they are broken and can’t escape” and “All their pimps are bastards”, even though it quickly becomes evident that they have never been with a prostitute in their lives from the stupid questions they ask.

I have played with professional women all over the world, and not one has ever expressed unhappiness or lacked the willingness to tell me to “f*** off” if they didn’t like my requests.

What is aggravating are the numbers of people who just accept stupidity like sex-slave brothels ever third block all over the country. Don’t they ever wonder why they haven’t seen one?

You couldn’t hide something like that. Teenagers would be publishing lists and addresses (and probably photos and prices) all over the net within a week.

It’s obvious to anyone honest that most men wouldn’t go for that, but remember who’s driving the “sex trafficking” hysteria: neofeminists (who represent all men as evil), religious fundamentalists (who represent any man who pursues sex outside of marriage as evil), cops (who represent all non-cops as potential criminals), and politicians (who are experts at making anything and everything about “the children”). All these groups have a vested interest in making ordinary men look like perverted malefactors, and the sheeple don’t have the gonads to stand up and denounce them as the filthy liars they are.

And another note, how many men out there are willing to pay for the services of someone who’s being coerced? I don’t think very many and, I think it’s easier to tell when a woman is being coerced to provide a service than many people think. This is one of the reasons why I only go for the “upper class” independent escorts. Back when I was younger – and had to go with cheaper alternatives – I used to always “interview” every woman I hired to get a feel for her motivation. Only in one instance did I come across a hooker (in Chinhae, South Korea) who seemed to have a story of “coercion”. I paid her barfine for the night and got her out of the bar and took her dancing (only). But in the end, I really don’t even think her story was legit, she just saw a “Dudley Doo-right” she could take advantage of. Whatever, I think the bar fine for her was like $40 bucks or something – so no great loss and I enjoyed dancing with her that night.

I just really don’t believe that most “Johns” out there would even want to hire the services of someone “trafficked” … and I think most of us are on the lookout for that kind of thing.
