[QUOTE=JupiterRising;5886791][B]If you truly want to stop sex-trafficking do this:[/B]

1.) Forget about the sex buyers, and the "supply and demand" argument. Drop the stupid law making solicitation a felony. Drop the law making prostitution a crime. Then you would have a situation where either the sex buyer, and/or sex seller could go to the police about a pimp without incriminating themselves in the process. They could go to the police and say hey, I just go robbed, or I just got shot, or I think this or that is going on, without making matters that much worse for themselves. And that action being taken against pimps could help make the streets a lot safer.

2.) Embrace what I call "cut the head off of the snake" method. Get rid of the pimps via legalization, and you get rid of the sex trafficking. Because a woman can not sex traffic herself. There has to be a pimp for that, and if you don't have a pimp, then you don't have sex trafficking. Let legalization be the end of the pimp, and therefore, also the end of sex trafficking.

Now, if they were reading this, they would likely think that's absurd, laugh at the idea, and never seriously consider it. But let's say they ignore my idea, and continue with the idea of going after sex buyers. What is the alternative? What is their great plan?[/QUOTE]Thanks for your thought leadership on both responses. People just shift their behavior, not stop it.

Despite spending trillions on the war on drugs, demand is as high as ever. People just shifted to crack, meth, etc. Etc. Etc.

Black markets will always fill a void and they'll always be less safe (fentynol, gang warfare, pimps, STDs) than legalization.

I do disagree that legalizing will stop pimps. Most pot in California is bought illegally due to price mostly but other factors weigh in. Thus there will always be the street walker or internet escort or AMP trafficked girl. But if politicians focus on likelihood of being trafficked (AMP highly likely; high end Internet escort who has been in the city for years not so much) and crime that actually hurts people, that would be a much better result.

Completely agree on the role of the church. Those organizations have been warfaring disruptive pests since monotheism armies beat polytheism armies.

Finally, I do believe that being in the sex trade wears on a person over time -- whether porno star, escort, etc. Even if done willingly and well compensated for it. Look at Louie Thoroux's documentary on it as one example. That just means there needs to be mental support services tailored to sex workers -- wow, another industry and tax-paying entities just got created on top of getting sales taxes from the initial transaction. And they'd have money to pay full price for those services.

Legalization could make it easier to report "real" crimes without self-incrimination, as well as free up resources in the criminal justice system for use against the "real" criminals.

Another part of an overall solution could be instead of increasing the penalties as to be so harsh for mere solicitation, do that for sex trafficking instead. Make it so that a person guilty of that isn't just looking at 10 years in prison, but the rest of their lives, without the chance of parole.

I'd agree, it's unlikely that pimps and hardened criminals are ever going to stop being what they are just because prostitution were to ever get legalized. For many of them, particularly those with ties to gangs, this would seem like a life long career choice, of which there is no going back on. In that case, the only thing that is going to stop them would be either death, or a life long prison sentence. So if the government really wanted to be particularly harsh, they could give them just that.

Another important part of an overall solution I think, for those of us that are neither pimps nor violent offenders, could be to recognize that people are people. Yes, some women are sex trafficking victims, but some are not too. And for us guys, some of us have trouble getting a girlfriend. Some of us just don't want to put in the work of getting one. Some of us have marital problems, and some of us just got out of a bitter divorce. Whatever the case, whatever the underlying reason for going to see a hooker is, these things shouldn't make any of us criminals. In fact, I'd argue these things make us human beings. We all have issues, and our personal business should remain just that without being shamed and stigmatized over it.

For the politicians and organizations that think a guy should spend 2 years in prison simply for talking to a prostitute, they should ask themselves a question. What if it was their brother, their son, their uncle, their father, their friend, etc. got caught up in this? Do they think such a person should have to spend up to two years in prison just for talking to a prostitute because something was going on in their life to where they felt like they needed to do that? Would a punishment that in some cases is comparable to the punishment of murder seem reasonable to them for that?

I'd really love to see one of the people responsible for this new law answer that question. I really would.

(Because I don't think anyone with their head on straight would say, yeah, that's a totally reasonable punishment if someone I cared about ever did that. In fact, I'd be willing to bet money, if anyone that one of these politicians cared about got caught up this new law, they wouldn't be doing 2 years for it. Someone would be pulling some strings somewhere).

[QUOTE=UsaInEurope;5870947]Seeking and tinder are great for finding P4P.[/QUOTE]Don't you need a seeking membership?

Has anyone been busted for solicitation yet? The Texas law reads the same, as it did back before it was a state jail felony. Our Texas legislators are pretty damned stupid sometimes. Putting someone in state jail, instead of county, would be more costly and therefore self-defeating. By that same token, wouldn't the bust require a vice squad cop having to stage the transaction? I haven't been hitting any of the old strolls, but have been hitting up on gals, P4 P wise, anytime it is convenient, and I've been with the same regular for over 20 years. Some people are able to maintain heroin addictions the same as smokers maintain their habits for over fifty years.

This past Wednesday I happened to have errands in the SoCo and Oltorf areas. I was able to notice a WSW around South! St and Oltorf and another at the Union 76 close to Burton and Oltorf. The one at the gas station was to have been too porked out and both were too worn. The whole hobby has lost its appeal due to the new felony solicitation law and all the Scamdemic reset. In my own quiet, middleclass neighborhood the city has been replacing the streetlights. A few days later, the water meter reader was to advise me that the city was placing surveillance cameras etc. In every other streetlamp for our security of course. Despite this, I would have occasioned either of these SW's, I've mentioned, had they been fresher produce. Neither had that fear look in their eyes the way vice on a mission does. On the other hand, I was able to detect that craving for a fix look. CA are you Okay with my estimate of the City of Austin's budget, this go around, or am I to anticipate your usual rebuttal?

It's common knowledge that our glorious city leaders in their infinite wisdom would rather spend money on expensive surveillance systems rather than hire new cops when APD is critically understaffed and overworked. They're also reactivating all the Automated License Plate Readers they decommissioned two years ago. I don't think they did it specifically to combat mongering, but it'll certainly make things even worse for us. I think if I had to the money to do it, I'd move to another city somewhere.

The Travis County Criminal Docket is back up, so I was able to put in an hour or so looking for Solicitation charges. Half of Austin is trouble for myriad victimless crimes, because I was only able to make it thru a third of the D's before giving up on finding any. Also, this go around didn't show all of the usual busts for this unpaid compound traffic ticket they were giving us over and over, before suspending us. I'm cruising SoCo, now, and am parked across from St. Edward's. I'm in a completely worn out, discontinued Yellow Cab Lumina. CA mentions all of the stress, that our decked out coward mentalities are undergoing, so my ledger dictates my duty call: being sure that whatever they end up stealing from me will cost them more than it is worth to impound and run thru the police auction. PM me should you need any tips on ways to beat the heat, while cruising SoCo, PV dam, and DT. I know what their shifts and maneuvers are to a tee.

Anyone contemplating a trip to Monterrey or Guadalajara? I've been to Tijuana a few times, wanting to explore Monterrey and / or Guadalajara scene since it's closer and even have non-stop flights from Austin and San Antonio. Would be interested to have a wingman around.

I have an amazing lady that is talented on bjs. Waiting on her response of she's interested in having fun on here.

Hopefully other city in Mexico would be better. Most of girls in hk club were not tall and not skinny which are not my type, not sure if any where in Mexico is great for girls.

[QUOTE=Casdk99;6989702] Most of girls in hk club were not tall and not skinny which are not my type[/QUOTE]You went to Mexico looking for tall girls? LOL.

If anyone wants to contact April contact me me for contact information.

Hey y'all just moved here and am just learning about the new laws here. As someone who likes to frequent Asian MPs and apartments how risky is it to visit these places? Feel free to PM.

Looking for a provider who provide outcall to the University district, I will be in town for only 1 night, and would love to find a Hispanic Provider. Either that, or is there a FS massage spa nearby? My issue is I will not have access to a vehicle this trip-.

Thanks,

Are.

[BLUE]This user was clearly a paid shill for Rejuve MP, he has a network of 20-30 users where he posts fake reports all over the US.

I'm fucking sick of this shit so I'm no longer going to allow ANYBODY to review Rejuve in Austin

To all you guys who hate shills like I do if somebody posts about Pink then report it so I can get rid of the user.

To whoever is doing this, this is the second time I'm cleaning up after you, if I have to do it again I will edit your posts and say some really bad shit about whoever is paying you to post for them. I suggest you find a different site to do this shit on.

This post will lead this thread for several months.
