Here is how the Thai sex industry works, for those that don't know, and an example of the dubious morality of the internet porn industry:
If you are a white man having sex with prostitutes in Thailand, and especially in the sleaze pit of Pattaya where creampiethais et. al. are filmed, then you are having sex with almost illiterate farm girls from the North East, many of whom haven't been to high school, had kid(s) extremely young, and are frequently bullied or guilt tripped in to whoring by their families back in Isaan. The girls are not "forced" into it in human trafficking terms, but are forced by circumstance and family pressure. A good chunk of Isaan families rejoice if they get a beautiful daughter because it means she's going to be shipped off for sex to earn for the family.
Fake IDs are rife and almost every brothel in Thailand has under 18s. The customers love them young. I'm not accusing anyone here of making CP but the chances that some popular Thai porn sites have under 18 models (through realistic fake IDs and not necessarily through any deliberate intent of the producers) is extremely high, in fact it's almost a certainty.
Most prostitutes are not public about what they do and there is a polite fiction that they work in a restaurant or whatever, despite the comparatively large sums of money they send home every month. Being a prostitute is instant shame and huge loss of face and once a girl is known as a hooker then no Thai man is ever going to want her as a wife, hence the fact that the girls keep it a secret. However if a woman is on a big Thai porn site then everyone knows and they are off the market for good. They'd better hope they can snag a farang husband because no Thai man is ever going to want them. So if you film a Thai girl and put it on the net, then you are basically personally responsible for consigning them to a life of single whoredom and shame among Thais.
Most younger urban Thais are on the net now (on their phones at least, the primary internet device in Thailand is a 3G phone), Facebook and social networking is massive, and
everyone knows about those porn sites... It is almost a point of national shame amongst people that don't work in the sex industry. Thais also love to gossip.
Typically a sex worker works at a bar for a small salary (maybe 4000 baht per month, about $133). However to get that money she has have sex with 8 customers per month. If she gets less customers than that, she gets her salary cut. She has to turn up at 6-7pm sharp and she will docked something like 3 baht for every minute she is late. So these are women who are highly exploited by the system already. They
can make a lot of money from fees from customers, gifts etc, but...
Thailand has the highest HIV rate outside Africa. Government statistics indicate that someone gets HIV in Thailand every 15 minutes, and the Thai govt is preoccupied with saving face so the real rate is probably higher. The main reason is that Thai men refuse to use condoms, and so do many Western customers. Most sex workers, being so uneducated, have only the dimmest idea of how STIs including HIV are transmitted, how pregnancy works etc. Most will be pressured into no-condom sex because they need the money so badly - with no welfare state, if you don't work, then you literally don't eat. So the chances of a white porn producer who has barebacked literally hundreds of Thai prostitutes having HIV is extremely high, much much higher than the US; but the girls don't understand the risk, and they need to get paid.
The risk is even higher if that producer barebacks trannies because of both the increased prevalence of HIV in the homosexual community and the fact that the risk of transmission skyrockets with anal sex on both the penetrative and the receptive sides.
That's not the least of it... Conservatively 50% of the sex workers in Bangkok and Pattaya are involved with yaba (amphetamine pills) or ice (meth). I could go on and on about how fucked up the Thai sex industry is... And we are only talking about the Western facing industry here, the Asian facing industry is much, much worse and is where the real human slavery happens.
Prostitution and filming porn is completely illegal in Thailand and if you want to do it on a professional scale then it requires bribes. Thus there is zero worker protection.
How do I know all this? I am not a whoremonger myself for obvious reasons, but I live in Bangkok for most of the year, I have a small stake in a bar in Soi 4 and bankrolled a friend of mine who set up a street bar on Sukhumvit.
So we have a situation where a lot of regular people might say that it is completely morally fucked up to film bareback porn in Thailand - it is basically exploitation and a huge public health risk.
Do I really care, or judge anyone who chooses to do it? No. But I find it curious that certain posters can make a living profiting from what some people might describe as human misery, whilst they rant on and on about how terrible it is to pinch a few movies.
And don't get me started on the moral quagmire of running one of the net's biggest free porn sites...
