[QUOTE=Redneck Roy]Please forgive me if I'm off base here, but isn't this site about the sex trade world wide, and isn't it a forum to assist and inform like minded "mongers"?
I realize and respect the concerns about "open publicity" of these girls, but I find it highly unlikely that their families are perusing the world sex guide, and furthermore. Searching the associated pictures. I think this would be quite different if it were on a hotel or tourism web-site, but here?
All in all, the information here is valuable information, even to the seasoned tourist to the Dominican. This just sounds like a back and forth of whether Playboy or Hustler is more acceptable, which is art or just pornographica.
As for me, please post pics and names as these chicas become my little fantasy girls.[/QUOTE]
RRR,
Just to follow-up on my earlier point:
Names are not a problem reagrding friends and family, as often (thogh not always) the girls use a "working name" instead of their real name. If theres no special relationship to protect, then fine.
I would suggest asking for pics/photos first, thogh, as the pics CAN get seen. If not by their family (though I wouldn't rule it out) then by Dominican locals with grudges who can dredge up such things. Lots of them check these sites.
Once its on the web, its there forever, and I know girls that have left the trade for a new life that don't want their kids/kids' friends stumbling onto old photos.
I am aware of one instance in which a guy offended the wrong chica in Sosua and her male friends/relatives inside and outside the law, had a "discussion" with him as to removing the photos. (But that IS an exception).
There was a pic-oriented website that finally tanked, though not sure why.
Possibly legal issues? Not a lawyer, but not sure of the legal impolications for individuals or websites.
(Look at the legal hassles of the "Girls Gone Wild" owner; he's in custody somewhere and getting sued constantly by stupid college girls who saw things differently after they sobered up).
In any case, I'd always ask. If they don't mind, great.
If they do object, I give them that much respect for their wishes.
They do what they have to, but I don't have to make things unecessarily difficult for them.
No arguments with ya, amigo, just explaining my position.
Take care.
