Here's what I do. You can draw your own conclusions as to whether it is effective or not:
1) Stay away from pimps, deal directly with girls
2) Put money (even if it is only the tip, not the house fee) directly into the girl's hand
3) If it doesn't seem right, move on
4) Look for genuine smiles, chatty demeanor, no nervousness or desperation
5) Stay away from dirt-cheap places (within the context of whatever city you're in)
6) Rely on other brothers' reviews
In all my years of punting, I don't think I have ever been with anyone who had been a sex slave. However, I have come across these situations many times. Is this a form of "economic" slavery? It's a good, semantic question:
- Girl has child but no husband, needs money, becomes WG
- Girl's family sends her to Bangkok to earn money. Much of what she earns as a WG, she sends home to mum and dad
- Girl ends up in the US, finds it is hard to earn a living with no language skills, becomes WG through an agency
I have also spoken with many WG about the various agency fees they are charged (BTW, Hong Kong Domestic Helpers are also charged significant fees by their agencies, despite it not being a sex job). There is no doubt that if the girl needs help getting into the country (visa, plane fare, etc.), she will pay a high fee. If she needs to be moved from city to city in the US, she will pay a high "taxi fee". There is no doubt that it takes many months for these girls to pay back their debts. But it has not seemed like slavery to me. The girls I have spoken to seem happy to be earning good money, whether they send it home or not.
Many of the girls have gambling and drinking issues, which keep them poor, not unlike many non-WG.
I'd like to learn more about how to avoid being with any kind of slave. If anyone thinks my list isn't enough, please help educate me. I'm sure many others also want to be certain they are not with slaves.
