Preventing & combating the devastating harms of pornography, prostitution, sex trafficking & sexual slavery. Nonreligious, nonpartisan, pro free speech, pro safe, healthy, equality-based sex, love & relationships
Practicing BDSM often leads to SEVERE ABUSE: A mentally disabled teen girl was imprisoned, trafficked and tortured — for SIX YEARS — by a couple who pimped her out for profit to other sadists for their sick sexual pleasure.
First she was groomed with pornography, as is often the case with sexual abuse victims:
“She described how the Bagleys initially showed her images and videos of people practicing bondage, dominance, sadism and masochism — or BDSM — and told her it was fun. She signed a contract on her 18th birthday that Bagley said made her his sex slave for life.”
Then she was imprisoned and tortured — sometimes for just for personal gratification, and sometimes being pimped out or turned into live pornography so others could take sexual pleasure in her suffering:
“The girl allegedly suffered water-boarding, electric shock, piercing and mutilation, according to the Kansas City Star.
Four other men have been charged for allegedly paying Bagley to have sex with his ‘slave’ and to watch webcam sessions of her being tortured.”
Clearly sadomasochism, pornography, prostitution and sex trafficking are all very closely related, and if one is against any one of them, one needs to take a stand against ALL of them.
READ THE REST of this tragic story that demonstrates the truly horrific harms of pornography and sadomasochism. WARNING – GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING!
INFO: The Nordic or Swedish Model reduces the DEMAND for prostitution by criminalizing the male buyers of sex, while decriminalizing the women in prostitution and helping them as needed, with exit and transition services, etc. And it WORKS to really reduce both prostitution and human trafficking.
This model was just approved by the European Parliament, so hopefully it will be implemented more all over Europe — and then in other places in the world, like here in the United States!

Below is another excellent but shorter video with the same eloquent Swedish policeman, telling it like it is about how effective the Nordic Model is for combating prostitution and sex trafficking. Very informative and inspirational!
In this video we go behind-the-scenes of a “F*ck a Fan” porn shoot and orgy in a clip from the excellent UK documentary “Date My Porn Star.” We witness the heartless abuse of the women involved, and then we interview documentary participant Danny Austin. Danny briefly did porn himself and was a fan of porn — until he saw the truth of how fake and exploitative the industry really is.
Also please don’t forget to COMMENT here and at YouTube, and to SUBSCRIBE to our AntiPornographyOrg channel. More new videos are coming soon, including a companion video to this one that exposes the harsh reality of a porn casting session, with another interview with Danny about how uncaring the porn industry is.

Please watch and share our powerful interview with LeNair Xavier on what’s wrong with prostitution. LeNair discusses the harms of being a “rentboy” or male “escort.”
Please support LeNair’s being willing to speak out and be interviewed by us by liking, sharing and commenting on this video here at WordPress, and liking, favoriting, sharing and commenting at YouTube.
It takes a lot of courage and integrity for a gay or bisexual man to speak out against prostitution in the gay community because it is such an accepted type of behavior. In fact it is, unfortunately — as LeNair points out in the video — almost a rite of passage!
In the video LeNair recites his powerful poem “No Joy with a Rentboy,” which addresses his brief relationship with a male “escort.” The full text of the poem is below, along with the rest of the video description, that contains many helpful links.
Thanks for your support!
VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
NO JOY WITH A RENTBOY
– by LeNair Xavier
When you first told me what you do
My first thought was to say we’re through
But then I tried to not be close-minded
As I live an eyebrow-raising life, too
Now, the time has come to be sincere
Facing the facts that are so damn clear
No more denial blinding my eyes
To how what you do is a cancer to both our lives
I don’t trust your head
Nor do I trust your bed
For I’m realizing how much DNA
Your one and only mattress has been fed
Why does my lack of trust surprise you
When so many johns wear your cum?
But then you try saying we have a home
Claiming that I’m the one
You can wash your in-call sheets 1,000 times
You can take 1,000 showers
It won’t erase how the essence of your johns
Has heart-draining, lingering powers
On that out-call, was I really on your mind?
Or was that just another line
Like the ones you tell your clients
So you can make another dime?
That’s why I can’t trust your heart
For it’s so often in the dark
So you can do the deed, then spew your seed
But I can see your soul is nowhere near freed
You are living a life bound in tightening chains
Crushing your heart behind that wall
But with all the drug and booze you do to get numb
Even with my care, that wall won’t fall
It is now politically INcorrect to say
One’s decision is based on moral judgments
Well, f*ck political correctness!
For here moral judgment shows good sense
See, the so-called “service” you provide
Is for the weak and socially inept
Sex is about our bodies joining for a soul connection
And how you sell it gives your spirit light to Death
So you can’t be trusted
And now, I’m disgusted
Our deceptions to ourselves
Have now been busted
If this is me living with a closed mind
At least, I will later smile and do fine
For I’m seeing there is no joy with a rentboy
Except the FAKE one paid in cash for time
