Way to block photos from India?

[Elusive]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I'm not here to change anyone's mind. Just some observations.

I started my mongering journey in 2015 when I moved to Europe. Prior to that in India, I had only been with girlfriends or some random chicks I picked up from clubs. Paid sex looked too risky a proposition for me as a lot of aspects are still illegal. Nothing can be worse than harrassment by LE. Furthermore, there are scammers who are out there to loot you. So I stayed away. Unless you're well connected it's very difficult to find genuine contacts here. Nothing to do with laziness. I was in Europe till Feb 2021, and didn't even know about ISG then. Never asked anybody's help. Once I came back, had to depend on this forum and I had to ask seniors for assistance. On my own, I could only visit MP / spas. Although I have never posted any photos on this forum, there is a reason why many new users do.

In Europe, for example, you have many options. Luxury brothels, FKK saunas, tantric massage, independent escorts, and even pornstar escorts (I've tried a few) are available on simple google search. For independent escorts in Paris, you can go to 6 annonce or sexemodel websites. You can meet a girl from these websites, and post ypur experience (positive or negative) in the forum without even the need of posting a photo. You can even share a link and people would find the girl. Such luxury does not exist in India. Maintaining such websites can land you in jail. So for working girls, you need to go through an agent / SP. Even getting a genuine SP contact isn't easy. And once a new monger reaches out to a SP, the SP will share some pictures of the available girls, and the monger would turn to the forum for help. He would ask if anybody has taken the services of the SP and / or the girls. With the wrong SP, a new monger can be in serious trouble. And for independent non professional escorts, it's even more challenging. These are some basic differences between mongering in India and countries like Germany, Hungary, Colombia, Brazil and Thailand. The photos in the Indian forum are meant for local consumption. Foreigners are free to ignore.

India is a huge market, and the mongering scene is actually getting better. More WGs are coming into the market and so the photos will keep coming too. Because it's a English speaking market, so it's not a surprise if 1/3rd of the photos are from the India forum. For example, local mongers in Paris aren't going to publish reports and post photos in ISG. They won't even speak anything other than French, so writing is out of the question. As I said, having a separate log for India can be considered. But how to filter the fake photos from the real ones- I do not know. With my little experience in the Calcutta forum, majority of the photos here are genuine. Can't comment on the rest of the country yet. In fact I am surprised to see many of you have even read the reports. Even I don't read those. I don't see much use for the photogallery at all. I'll just visit the forum where I plan to monger. IMO we're making too much of an issue about nothing.

Cheers and Happy Mongering!

Thank you for a well reasoned informative take on the situation.

The simplest solution is no photos in the India Forum that the OP has not taken himself. It would guess that more than 1/3 of all photos in the 'photo gallery' are from the India Forum.

Here here!

Its not just the photos, although they are too many but its mostly a fishing expedition. Anyone know this bird. Been to this or that massage parlor or any reports on these women. That's what gets on my nerves. If you are too lazy to check the girl out with real info don't post her photo. I've seen lazy but this is ridiculous. Too lazy to try new pussy, boy that is lazy. All of those should be blocked by the moderator. You got something useful on a girl to post, fine, most will want to read. True not many of us go there, I worked there once and you could not pay me to go back, but that's just me. But a interesting story about a cutie and the encounter, is always entertaining to read. Just tired of clicking on a cute girl from Indian. Hey any reports on her. Get off your lazy ass and find out, then most of us would be interested.

I noticed the content from India has ballooned in recent years, it's almost choking the photo gallery. There is just a huge market in India, probably mostly inaccessible to non-Indians I am guessing. I mean India is the largest English speaking country. But normally if there is a country like Cambodia that I am never visiting, it is taking up a tiny part of the bandwidth. But India is just choking the photo gallery. I really question if the photos posted there are all from mongers and if a large number are not from shills. And it just seems like India is very low on the list of destinations for non-Indian mongers. Is there anyway to turn off the India content in the photo gallery? I don't see this problem with other countries. Maybe China is a close second, it has a lot of content, seems a lot is not from mongers but is from shills, but then China seems like a more likely destination.

Well having a separate log is a good option. But can't see the logic of removing the India pictures just because they are taking a lot of space.

India has 20% of the world's population, so nothing wrong if the photo gallery has 20% Indian content. And I don't get why we have to bother too much about the photogallery anyway. For example, if I'm visiting Berlin, I'll just look at the Berlin forums. I won't decide what country to monger based on photogallery. Its just for viewing pleasure.

By the way when I lived in Europe I didn't even know about ISG. Information was readily available online. But in India still a lot of things are illegal. So photos are not available on general websites. Since I returned to India, I had to rely on a lot of information from this forum.

The India that I grew up in the 90's is long gone. India of 2022 would be unrecognizable for someone who hasn't been here in two decades. You may love or hate India and Indians, but ignoring us is not an option. Just think of the economics.

Cheers.

I love India, anecdotally the Indians I work with as well as those I have known socially are as enjoyable company as anyone I know. That is not my complaint. IMO, a huge percentage of the photos are simply taken off Facebook either by the poster or the agency. I am not Indian, of course I do not know the culture as well as you do. I do however imagine most WG's in India would never allow their faces to be posted on a P4 P message board. What purpose do all these fake photos serve.

[Jayagopal50]

I agree that its very very difficult to monger in India. Having left, along time ago it's frustrating as you know it exists in a population of 1 billion. ISG serves a purpose. As long as they pay up by being members, let them post. Its for others to decide if they want to look or ignore. There's $$ in India Now so let people pay up. Start separating for verification and charge them.

[Wolf Cola]

I agree with both Uphigh and the OP. The India Forum takes up a huge percentage of space in the photo section. It seems to be almost always just a monger looking for information on an likely fake catfish type photo. Give India a seperate log in like Argentina Private and give the paying members a way to block by country. Barring that, simply add yet another rule in the India Forum that they can't post photos they have not taken or verified themselves, no more posting an interesting photo only to ask if anyone has any details or reviews on her.

Agreed. The photos on the India forum are gumming up the photo gallery, and they are probably mostly fake or at least not interesting. Also agreed that India is a place of little interest to most of us.

This talk of blocking Photos from the India threads is not only unfair but also not economical for ISG. All those proposing have to understand that these threads cater for a large domestic audience and is not meant to invite people for sex tourism to India. We are having a high success rate owing to the large active community of lingers who keep the quality high and prices under check. Lastly the number of people with subscriptions from some of these cities might be larger than some of the subscriptions from entire countries put together. It is pure economics.

Hello all,

With due respect to all the senior members here, you may feel all the pictures in India gallery to be fake and you are not seeing India as a destination. But you missed out on the point that India is a large domestic market and some state capitals here have FRs more than some other county capitals and non Indians may find it hard to get access. Unlike other countries that are mentioned, prostitution here is illegal and it may land people in jail. So as a tourism destination, India may not be on the list at all.

But that doesn't mean that Photo Gallery should be blocked of India pictures, because it serves us, the domestic consumers here. I don't deny that some pictures may be fake. Users share the pictures they get to find out whether it is fake or true. This helps other users to not fall in the fake traps.

International Sex Guide blocking India Gallery pictures would be an irony in itself and it will be really unfair. If you feel disturbed by India content, the site can be improved with filters to not the see the content you don't like. But please, do not deny us of the uses we enjoy by blocking it completely.

P.S. I am not even a Senior here which can make you think who the hell is this idiot and what is he talking. When I joined ISG, it was for all the benefits it gave and now blocking this would inconvenience a lot of us in India and stop many people from taking a membership.

Thanks,

Ram.

Have you noticed the photo gallery has pics from all over the world? It used to be useful for those of us who want to see what is going on around the world. For example, Thailand and Philippines have a fair amount of pictures, but they are mostly real and those are destinations many of us could go to. For various social / economic / geographic reasons India is not a destination for mongering tourism, even if all the pics were real. So now the photo gallery is almost useless now because it is gummed up with fake pics from India. Like Gonefishin said, I am glad he confirmed my suspicion that these pictures are mostly fake. So we have excessive fake content from one country (India) which very few people visit.

How does posting of pictures in one or other thread bother you? I don't suppose you're obligated to look at all the pictures that get uploaded.

[GoneFishin]

The most annoying part for me is I select many reports by what I see in the "photo gallery". But that is gummed up by all the fake India pics, I lived in India and this type of endeavor for the ladies would be an enormous stain not only on thier reputations but on thier families as well. These pics always show the face a big giveaway that they are probable just lifted off of facebook pages.

After many years I won't join again because of the India pictures. This place has changed.
