Does Porn fuel human trafficking?

[JakeyB123]

I believe porn fuels human trafficking due to the lack of identity verification of the user featured in the film. This then allows a industry from who-so-ever will upload a video that people like. This creates a whole new industry for human trafficking rather than just to be used as a sex-slave in a foreign country. Thoughts?

I'm fairly sure commercial porn is regulated in the US, especially for this reason. I do know for a fact that they need to at the very least be able to prove no minors were used, which they can't do without identification.

I would tend to think that some porn is child porn even from US sources or trafficked from less fortunate females. We see that on the news all the time. But US regulated porn is probably like @Arcangl86 said. I would also wonder about foreign porn as it's probably shady at best.

And there are of course large amounts of women taking advantage of men (the women also include men pretending to be women) on the internet and making lots of money doing it. I help out a guy that gets tricked that way, spends hundreds a month supporting those con artists. They provide him porn pictures in exchange for money. He actually had one of them call him on the phone and said to me "that sure sounded like a guy's voice". He's mentally disabled and thinks they're his girlfriend, which is part of the con He gets on some kind of dating sites.

I personally find it strange that human mating rituals tendencies merge into these strange practices. Humans are so strange.

So, where's the money in that?

I remember reading some article about a model in the UK who was nearly kidnapped and taken to a foreign country, but she managed to escape. I'm not sure if that was related to pronography or just plain sex-trafficking, but the line between the two can be pretty fine sometimes.

There is a huge demand for pornography, so I think it's safe to assume that that demand does in part sustain sex-trafficking, especially in less regulated countries as others have mentioned.

However, I think there's also a disturbing trend of normal people creating their own pornography and uploading it online because illicit sex has become so normalized and people want attention.

Theres many different ways. Theres forums for one where people advertise snapchat profiles of random girls that sell nudes for money. These are sketchy, lower-end forums type of websites that I doubt have any sort of regulation. :/

The short answer is yes. And it's all demonic at best anyway. Period, end of discussion from me at least because I've been involved on the flip side of the industry trying to work with some of the kids getting out. I've seen the shattered families who don't know where their kid went to etc. Yes in the US, don't ever believe we are innocent over here, the statistics are not good. Porn is insidious.

There is no such lack in identification in the legal porn industry. It is prostitution that fuels human trafficking.

It was related to neither.

It used to be a lot more taboo to be in porno, so there were less women involved. Now the industry is overrun with amateurs, so I can't imagine it's all that expensive to hire newbies instead of "porn stars". Besides that, girls are perfectly willing to take their clothes off for free (Girls Gone Wild) so I honestly can't imagine it's very cost effective to be kidnapping girls and holding them prisoner instead of just hiring from the plethora available on the cheap.

Oh okay. The whole thing sounds like drugs and alcohol more or less. Though they threatened to sell her as a sex slave, but apparently it was an empty threat and they never intended to. I knew I didn't just come up with that in my head...

Well, there are plenty of "loose" women around, too

What are you talking about? What the heck is a "loose" woman, and what does it have to do with prostitution or sex-trafficking..or indeed anything?

but they still kidnap girls for sex-trafficking. Is that more cost-effective? Perhaps it's just the underage aspect.

Prostitution is a huge money making venture. A victim of sex trafficking keeps 0% of the money she makes, which is also an incentive.

Prostitution in the United States - Wikipedia

From that article:
A 2004 TNS poll reported 15 percent of all men have paid for sex and 30 percent of single men over age 30 have paid for sex.

and

The prostitution trade in the United States is estimated to generate $14 billion a year.

I don't know.

Then why oh why not spend 5 minutes researching on google so that you do know, rather than posting stuff-in-your-head to an internet forum.

Sorry I'm tired of angry people. I have deleted my comment I will sign off for today.
