And the internet has made it easy to market them and save us a lot of hunting time. They will never stop this profession and really it is better to keep them out of public eye and just leave them alone.

Not sure what they would use. Guess whatever would replace BP. Go back to setting up street walker stings?

Yes, it IS morally wrong if the woman is not a willing participant.

So, how can we ascertain that she is not a victim of trafficking? I, for one, do not want to be part of the "fuel" that powers that "engine."

They will close down the adult section on BP and then it'll move back to CraigsList in the personals section. It will be much more subtle though, there will be code. Looking for a "short term" relationship with a "generous guy" who "smells nice" with a phone number. The reply you send (txt or call) is,"How short term? How generous? I've got time this afternoon." And the hook-up is made.

No, thinking about that, it's improbable; there's nothing subtle about the hobby. Most likely a google search will reveal the next CL / BP viral advertising site, there are hundreds of them out there now, it's just which one becomes ultra popular next. EROS / ThE otheR site / BD are all your fallbacks until the next viral site rises above the rest. Or just stay tuned here, a new thread will open letting you know where the action is.

You can't stop communication, unless you amend the constitution and repeal the bill of rights. Well, it could happen.

Must be a slow news day. They should go investigate all the money Charlotte is blowing away on pet projects instead.

As long as every one involved is 18 & up, who gives a shit what goes on between consenting adults.

This society is so hung up on sex it's unreal, you'd think the fucking Puritans were still around.

Good point, I never understood how CL got shut down but BP was able to keep rolling on?

Time to be extra cautious out there. In the story they interviewed some police that were unaware of this and will probably start to investigate. You can never be too careful, UTR girls are more valuable than ever.

This is why you find UTR girls that you can trust. The spa's are sitting ducks. You want to realy stay out of places. That they sit there and watch before they bust them as the spas.
