Watched this movie last night, and the only words still going through my mind are well, WTF. As webcam models, we have the freedom to do sex work we want to do. We can set our own schedules, we can say no, and we can ban haters from our cam room. We still have to play by the rules, but we have the freedom to work however and whenever we want.
The unfortunate women in this documentary don't/didn't. They were forced against their will to do sex work. I just wanted to give every unfortunate victim in this documentary a hug and/or a shoulder to cry on. Imagine if your pregnant wife went to a different country with a person you thought was a nice man, and then called you up and said "I just sold your wife for $1000," to a violent pimp in Turkey. WTF??? When the pimps don't want these women anymore, because they are illegal immigrants, the authorities just write them off as "prostitutes" and deport them out of the country, and the authorities just say: Oh well, you should've known what you were getting yourself into. There's nothing we can do...sucks to be you. Sad. Just sad. SMH. Imagine a pimp forcing you to abort your baby, and then 5 days later, putting a sponge inside of you, and then forcing you to go back out on the street to fuck guys for money? WTF??? How about the female recruiter Pasha, who said she has a daughter who's earning a degree in law, of all majors, but she's placing multiple women in a bad situation/s. She has a daughter. WTF???
I paid for college for about 3 years working as a stripper. I had the freedom to select my own costumes. My stripping out of a clown costume cured some people of coulrophobia, fear of clowns. Had the freedom to work whichever club I wanted to work, and if a club out of state tried to say I could only work for them, exclusive, I could increase my performance fee. Plus, most of the clubs gave me 2 free drinks, and some paid my hotel/motel fees, as long as I showed up on time, performed until closing time, and didn't start any fights. BTW, only free drinks I accepted in the clubs were 2 bottled waters, and I took those with me to my gym close to my home, and drank them while working out. If there was a club were I had problems or for whatever the reason I didn't feel comfortable there, I just stopped working there. Had one situation where a guy tried to tell me I had to give him a blowjob to work at his club on a once-a-month basis. In self-defense, I punched him in the throat, just like Sean Connery did to that bouncer in the movie Rising Sun with Wesley Snipes, click this link, it's at the 45 second mark.
Club owner got something on his throat, but it wasn't my dick. Glad I watched this movie to learn that self-defense trick. Great book from Michael Crichton BTW. Anyways, not too hard, but just enough to send the message I wasn't tolerating his BS, and mentioned if I had another situation like this or worse, he would be talking to my lawyer. He got the message, and I ended up working at a strip club in that city a few blocks away that paid more money. Sex trafficked victims like the ones featured in the Sex Slaves movie don't have those options. Some are placed in buildings with metal bars on the windows and armed security guards, so they can't leave. Some of the pimps who sex traffic women work with some police officers so if a woman tries to run away, the officer will pretend to care, and send the woman back to her pimp. Not everybody knows martial arts like I do, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu, muy thai, and Tae Kwan Do, so they can't protect themselves whenever in a harmful situation.
I also do porn and I have to be tested every 30 days to prove I'm STD negative. When filing my taxes, I deduct STD testing as a business expense. If I test positive for anything, I can't work. If the test/s is/are a false positive,I have to retest to be cleared, or I can't work until I'm HIV, Gonnorhea, chlamydia, and syphilis-negative. If I don't want to have sex with the person I'm scheduled to do a video with that day, I can say no, or if too much drama occurs on the set, I can simply get up and leave. Sex-trafficked victims are physically and sexually abused, and once they test positive for one or more than one STD, are discarded as "trash." Sad, just sad.
Last but not least, some people who watch movies like this then try to say all sex workers, trafficked or not, are unhappy, being exploited, were traumatized in some way, shape, or form in the past, as a child, are mentally fucked up, and/or on drugs. Or my personal favorite: I think your too good for this webcam stuff. You're better than this. You can do better than this. I try not to yawn, but sometimes the yawn intentionally and/or unintentionally slips out. Depends on how I'm feeling that day, good, or bad. If they're haters, I tell these people to STFU and GTFO, and ban them. If they're being kind, or come across as concerned, I say thank you for your concern, but I'm good. Webcam models have freedom. People sex-trafficked don't.
