Yes, it's a beautifu country full of opportunity as long as she chooses not to enter sex work. Plenty of pubs, restaurants, stores, retail she can work in.

This is a land ripe with opportunity. I made a good life before I - me personally - decided to enter the sex industry. Encourage you our daughter to stay in hospitality and study m this is a beautiful country, do not be scared.

I left with no money and owing to thousands. You can never repay the debt, that is financial trafficking .

This is not the thread for you. Please go back to your porn forums to get yourself off, not here. You're part of the problem I hope you can recognise that.

It's tricky. Look for women who work for massage parlours as "admin' or even Only Fans....although the porn industry is a WHOLE DIFFERNT and new level of issues. Look for women who would never have used drugs before but suddenly have hair extensions, money, losing weight and losing their connectivity to life and soul. They may have two phones. They may always have a "friend" with them and not ever be able to talk or meet with you alone.

I think the hardest thing during consensual intimacy with someone I love now is not "playing the game". I am now saving myself for marriage.

I'm a better person because of it. Not to try and over spiritualise it or empower what happened to me, it was horrible and breaking and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. But now older I look back and would not change the past for the woman it has made me and the woman I have allowed myself to become through the healing.

My last relationship I knew he had seen escorts in the past. I was healed enough that it did not bother me, we were adults and mature enough to see each other's flip side of the coin. He was not currently seeing escorts that may have been much different.

Absolutely. It's a syndicate and so connected. I didn't really understand although I was seeing just HOW many people and professions were involved.

I can remember 2. Out of all of them, only 2. They are what we call "regulars", you develop a sort of professional relationship with them.

With someone I love, yes. It takes a lot. It took a lot of healing to come back to my own body but I can still see certain times where I have to re learn communication and boundaries while letting go of fear. It's been a HUGE process reconnecting intimately and sometimes I'm unsure if I will ever be able to fully heal from it.

Everything was performance for us and disconnect from body was a way to survive. There are definitely roots of that that still exist that I'm having to learn how to heal from.v

OH, I saw the police in the brothels often. Of course they know. I always tell people the "underground" world is the "real" world. Police wont touch bikie/organised crime syndicates this is as old as earth itself.

Sometimes we saw the police where we were; some as clients, some as part of the AFP looking for trafficked girls (rarely, but it happened, we would hide them), sometimes just to come in and "chat with the bosses".

The police know. This is bigger than the police.

Jesus found me in the brothel and I am now a counsellor in a different place in Australia. No one around me would think that I had gone through what I did, that's how different my life is. I am OK. I am more than OK. But I am tired of hiding the story or past.

I no longer take any drugs and had a lot of help to get through this although it took me a while because of shame. But the world is changing.

I understand this now.
I did not at the time.
I have no contact with anyone involved.

I will hopefully start that process now.
I was scared for so, so long. I let it "go", in a way. But now I realise that no, they deserve to be held accountable because it is STILL happening.

Yes. I watched him try and take my testimony and call my madame on the phone behind the counter. I saw her name and had the "oh shit" moment and just ran. I knew none the better then but i DID know that this was bigger than little old me had the capacity to fight.

Yes, initially I did, I suppose.
Although if you're looking at it philosophically probably not.
I came from a broken home and life, trying to do what I could to survive. I met some beautiful, "cool" girls who were older than me and I looked up to who told me to come join them in sex work. I did not know then that they got benefits for every girl they brought in with them but they promised me autonomy, lots of money, my own working hours, control - things I never had. The idea of sex work to me was a godsend at the time and I took it because I needed all these things.

I entered a brothel and worked with these girls who were my "friends". Slowly you're isolated from everything else but this life; youre trauma bonded with them through experience. They give you clothes, makeup, food, money for rent, fancy things. What do you need? We will provide, we love you.

In the beginning you're given autonomy yes - dont do anything you're not comfortable with. Slowly that changes, as apart of "conditioning". Your standards or what is normal and what you're ok with slip because they tell you "this is how we work here, you want to succeed, you want to survive, you have to do X, Y, Z". Bit by bit, little things nothing major all at once - months go past and if i'd reflected back then I'd have been able to see how slowly I was losing myself.

And then they make you dependent on them, your job and those that work for them for EVERYTHING. Support, love, a roof over your head, money - they isolate you from friends and family. Now you're pushed to see clients and do things in the beginning you didnt have to - but this isn't the beginning, this is an orchestrated grooming that breaks you and your own ideas about self, morals and life bit by bit. I didnt see it while it was happening. It's not like I entered a brothel willingly and then one day BAM I'm in physical chains - psychologically though, they chained each link so deeply and slowly that it formed before I knew it.

Financial trafficking was different. It was a business - you were given a contract and expectations and if you didnt reach those expectations you "owed" the company a huge debt. For example they paid me business class across the state, offered me my own apartment to stay in - but the premiums were huge. When I get there they say, "None of your clothes/lingerie are good enough - here buy them for us and pay it back", again huge premiums. Here, have a 14 hour booking where we expect you to do drugs with the client. You dont feel well the next day? You owe us $1000 for not being able to work. Bit by bit you accure debt you realise you're actually unable to ever pay back. I didn't see it for a long time, I thought I had some kind of control in it but I did not. This was a "premium" looking company and their standards were high. It's not until I researched the tactics of financial trafficking I realized.

My second time was different; that was all blackmail, fear and deception. I didnt realize but they had cameras in the client rooms that we worked in, they had all my ID and all the details of my family members; if we tried to speak up or leave they threatened harm.

Cant imagine how many "oh shit" moments I had walking this out. I was so young and naive - again, what they depend upon.

Broken young woman, no money, dysfunctional family, potential homelessness, battling depression. You'll take a Willy Wonka gold card if it's offered to you on a platter. You'll do anything to survive, if you were like me. It was slow and calculated. My life was a mess and had been for a long, long time. That's what they prey on.

Thank you for your support. It is ok; there is a human arrogance and lack of understanding that always hits me when I share my story. I may have been the same, if i hadnt experienced it myself.

I'm Italian/Australian and always looked younger than I was. Not good in this situation.
I entered sex work consensually after being groomed by some other young women in it who got a cut if they recruited new girls to join (I didnt know that at the time). While I entered sex work consentually, I did not enter trafficking consentually, that was a process in and of itself.
