Christina, an 18-year-old university student from Moldova, has been bought and sold so many times she has lost count.

Christina, who declined to give her real name, studied classics and anthropology and played basketball as a hobby before she was lured from a rural town in one of Europe's poorest countries to sex slavery in Israel.

She is not alone.

Anyhow, I've talked to some people in Europe who say that they feel a lot of content is being shot with these girls and that the organzied sectors are ramping up to do this. Just another corner in the market. Let's face it producing content overseas is an attractive and affordable option.

What are your thoughts as a webmaster or producer? Do you buy content from overseas? If yes, do you know your people? Finally, if you found out they were using slaves would you still buy from them?

Thanks,
Dianna

Slavery is repulsive and immoral.

Yes

No (I would also do everything I could to have them arrested)

I guess the problem is with how do you know..if you ask someone if they use slaves they aren't going to say yes and for all you know anyone anywhere could be using them.

I can't imagine anyone would knowingly endorse its practice by buying content like that. I'm sure its happening but we would have no way of knowing it.

Well you don’t unless you have a tight relationship with that person. It’s hard to tell. My advice would be to produce your own content or buy from reputable sources here in the US. If not slavery you must know that poor countries draw hordes of undesirable activity. Have you noticed the increase in adult content produced overseas? Do you have any idea what they pay these girls? Many are forced into prostitution. This is fact, not fiction.

It’s a catch 22 because as webmaster you want to make as large a profit as possible and that means watching your overhead which is content. Webmasters don’t want to pay what exclusive content is really worth so they shop around for deals and unfortunately it means going overseas. I have a few niche customers now who want me to shoot BDSM/Fetish for 5.00 a minute and that’s just unrealistic. Even at 7.00 a minute it can’t be done right. I enjoy directing niche content, it’s what I do but luckily I’ve got other business interest. If I had to rely on content as a primary source of income I’d starve. The sad truth is that they will find it overseas and not care how it was produced.

I still don’t know why large companies don’t produce content in-house or spend a little more and out source to producers that they’ve actually sat down with, seen their operation and know that everything is on the up and up.

Read this month's National Geographic - it ain't just happening overseas and it's not just sex.

Thinking that all the girls that do content in the US are happy thriving businesswomen compared to the overseas girls is a little naive.
Not every girl is Jenna Jameson.
Most of the girls are poor. Many get Aids and dies of strange gunshot wounds . A lot of them are forced into this profession (prostitution and porn) - maybe in a less violent environment - but very little of the girls that do porn went to study it in University.
Thinking that the girls in the US work in a loving and caring environment and do it for fun and therefore, unlike the poorer countries, is morally good to pay them for their work is not too convincing for me.

Note btw - that the trading in women into Israel (From russia and other former soviet union countries) as well as into other countries has little to do with content. Specifically with relation to Israel - afaik - Israel is not really a source for cheap content (correct me if I am wrong) mainly due to the fact that Israel is not as cheap as some European countries and therefore the content wouldn't be cheap.

To be honest - the main thing that bothers me in our industry is the content. I realize we are all into "business" but the content side, production and especially the "dark" side of it is bugging me at least a bit. I myself was never into producing content so I don't really know anything for a fact - so input from content producers is appriciated.

What are your thoughts about it?

You are single - unless the wedding happened already? In that case, shawcutie posting that she's Mrs. Shaw on GFY would finally make sense.

I ask my wife almost daily if I can have one.. just one... well maybe two.. if one is unavailable for some reason a backup would be required. She won't let me have one.. I'm still trying. I figure one day I'll catch her in a good mood and I'll be set.

Dianna,

this is true. Here in Holland we get woman escaping and police find them daily.

The problem is that most of the time the girls get our of thier country via we call them loverboys.

Those are young men who know the family of the victim.

Once they get to the brothels , they are drugged, beaten and if not beaten or raped they are so afraid for their families at home they will not testify.

And it is not only girls but also children who dissapear.

Brothels in eastern europe are most of the time drugged young woman. And sometimes the girls are underage.

Here in NL this Month the police arrested people from Romania. And those people will be send home....most woman do not want to testify and in their own country it is hard to get the bosses behind bars.

Belgium and Czech are the route to traffic people.

C.

Hey C

I don't think that people are fully aware of the circumstances or perhaps they just don’t care. It’s easy to turn your head and pretend it doesn’t exist , just not give a shit at all or even worse know about it and contribute to it.

But fuck ‘em you know what goes around comes around. They might be singing happy songs now but all the years I’ve been in the biz I’ve seen karma nab quite a few of them. They’ll get busted, sued or exiled.

Little C are there any good articles where you are about this?

Dianna, I have to look for english translations.
Till now I found only Dutch ones.

There is an organisation in europe who supports these girls.

My friend is doing charity stuff for them.

I get you the details next week when I see her.

Drop me an email if I forget to send it to you.

C and Diana,
Guess I'm sheltered, had no idea this was so rampant and huge...very disturbing.

On the other hand, Diana, haven't you made your life on men being slaves to you? Satisifying your every whim or you torture them...what's the difference?

What are your thoughts about it?
First of all... tell me one hetero porn star in the us in the last ten years that has died of AIDS... and if you say John Holmes then you have to expect me to ask the question "how do they know he died of AIDS when he died before testing came out?" (Answer: Presumptive Diagnosis...which is to say that a bisexually active drug addict means it probably was AIDS, not exactly a Gold Standard of scientific fact by any stretch)

True, some working conditions in the US are not ideal, but tell that to the girl who spent a week cleaning out the grease on the grill at the burger joint and made less than she made in a few hours making some porn.

I have a simple way to tell about content. I consider myself somewhat qualified because I have been doing content for so many years, from Porn Valley to Overseas.

The people who want to do it and are having fun LOOK like they want to be there and are having fun. Homegrown Video is a great example. People are sending us their home movies. There is laughing, giggling, and guffaws, sighs, smiles, and rosy cheeks pink with the afterglow of orgasm.

The stuff you see where it looks mechanical and the talent looks bored, or pissed off, drugged out, vacant, somber, etc... well that is the stuff you need to watch out for.

It is so simple, but that small but signifigant difference is why the fans have loved us for so long.

What’s the difference?? I can’t fucking believe you are asking that. Damn Gregg!

Big difference…

1) They BEG me to enslave them
2) They pay me money to enslave them
3) It’s a consensual relationship


Man I’m amazed at you. Did you read the thread? Holy cows batman!
