I made a comment in response to my trip report "Pictures in the Sand" from my recent trip to Panama.

In that response I suggested that an employer required that all of their employees attend or complete on-line training regarding the subject of human trafficking (spanning labor slavery to sexual exploitation of women and children).

During that training it was very clear that the picture being painted was that all P4P transactions involving women and children stemmed from coercion by ruthless thugs that lurk in the underworld shadows of all countries. The training material material it appear that no woman would freely sell her pussy for money (due to greed or easy money).

Although I will not disagree that there is "management" everywhere in the P4P industry. I have a hard-time swallowing the propaganda put in-place that P4P "management" is ruthless...that they will repeatedly beat and/or rape their victims in order to brainwash them into absolute obedience.

First of all, where do the authors get their information? Are they former mongerers who saw this stuff first-hand and then suddenly converted to celibacy or exclusive monogamous relationships? Or, do the authors get their information directly from whores or P4P management? Or, maybe they just make-up shit based upon what they know from what they see on the surface?

I admit I have no experience in countries other than where I live or where I've visited such as; Canada, Mexico, Panama and the Philippines. Everything I've seen regarding India, Pakistan, African countries and a few "other" countries seems to indicate that it is routine for women and children to be sold into loveless marriages or prostitution. Yet, I really have no idea if this is true or just more propaganda.

Never in my 25-years of mongering have I met a whore who asked me to help get her out of her situation (other than benign requests for extra money or an offer for an exclusive loving long-term relationship). Never in my 25-years did I ever see a whore who showed signs that she was being held against her will (I've met many that admitted they had no choice due to poverty, but never have I met any that were being outright coerced by "management" and therefore physically locked into their situation).

Please share your opinions and experiences on this subject to help cut through the propaganda and bullshit. I always want to know the truth. I admit I have extensive experience mongering, but perhaps the locations where I monger the women just so happen to be free. Either that, or "management" did a real good job brainwashing them.

Please share what you know.

Thanks.
