Pornography and Sex Trafficking

In an earlier posting we were talking about Pornography. I think it's important for us to discuss the similarities between Pornography and Sex Trafficking, and how the two often go hand in hand.

I just came across the following web page. I thought it was interesting, and wanted to share it with you. It's for an organziation called: Captive Daughters.

My hope is that the more we explore these issues, the more that others will gain a better understanding of why Pornography is just NOT OK.

What happened to all the comments to this posting? The wording has also changed?

What happened to all the stuff about Luke? I'm trying to figure out if he's a safe person? or just another individual trying to pick up women on the survivor scene? I've seen it happen before, and then the women end up feeling even more violated.

See the comment he left in that post about changing his wording on that one article.

I've realized from this thread that my writing on rabbi Ozair (as highlighted in this post) was unclear and in poor taste. I've severely edited it."

I think Luke is being educated on all these issues as he goes along, (like so many are as well), which is neither good nor bad, but just is. I think it's a good thing when he realizes something is in poor taste and is willing to edit it.

As far as *safe person*, how do you mean? I can vouch for the fact that he's been exceptional at maintaining confidentiality. Not sure what else one can ask for from someone willing to write about these matters, but having maintained confidentiality has been a priority for me.

When talking to a journalist it's vitally important for the individual to be able to understand my right to privacy. It's great that the individual everyone seems to keep bringing up, understands confidentiality.

Yet, there's something else to look at. I've looked at his blog, his web page, and the posting to his old blog (Protocols). I personally don't feel comfortable sharing the intimate details of my abuse with a man who writes about his sexual fantasies publicly. I don't know if this makes any sense to anyone else, but I wonder if I told him about my violation if it will turn him on? My fear is it will.

That's a legitimate concern, and I hope he reads that and addresses it here.
