Has Dubai become a coded word on the Internet for prostitution?

Trafficking is a different matter; that is purely prostitution and the young women involved are little more than slaves. A lot of that goes on with Eastern European girls being conned into coming here or going to the States with the promise of a good job and better life. If they are pretty they end up, with other girls, working as prostitutes and having little of the proceeds, controlled by the Russian mafia. If they are not particularly physically attractive they will be hired out for some sort of manual work. It's a horrible business.

Wtf did I just read!????

I take back my comment regarding consent and them agreeing to do it because I did just read something which suggested those with booking information on their pages and flying off to Dubai regularly are potentially getting booked via someone else and sometimes being pimped out

Not literal portaloos. It's slang for women being subjected to being used as a toilet, for someone else's sexual gratification

I didn't know about porta potties which I associate with outdoor events and camping. I'd have thought they would have had proper plumbing in Dubai, it's a modern, sophisticated place.

Dubai is not a place I would want to visit -their treatment migrant workers and women. I cannot understand the appeal at all.

Christ. How is this better than just having a normal job and going to work?

I wasn't aware of any of this but it's people with money everywhere, imo, and it's utterly disgusting. There's been quite a few documentaries on US, British and other European men going to developing countries and sleeping with/exploiting underage girls. That's a massive problem too and the girls don't get the jet set lifestyle at the end (at best they get an old fart with perhaps a comfortable lifestyle and treated like a cooker, cleaner and a sex worker in one for the rest of their lives if they marry them), having had their own families push them to to it at the prospect of money.

I'm not saying the money these people going to Dubai get makes it better because it really doesn't, money really can be the root of evil and I shan't think about what else might be going on. However, are these "influencers" doing this all out of choice for that money or going in a bit blindly? Yes, there are people who are rich and enjoying sadist behaviour, however, if you're aware and willing to go through with that for money, I just feel mostly sad about how those people have been conditioned to want to chase money to that degree themselves that they will agree to be shat on. I haven't done my research because I can't stomach it but I tried to think of how much I'd want for someone to treat me like that and there's literally no money you could offer me to do it. That kind of thing stays with you forever (unless you're genuinely into it all yourself) and it must be so hard to get out of your mind as a PP said.

Yes.

I have always wondered the same OP. How could they afford all of that? Popular influencers are loaded, look at the self made millionaires from YouTube.

that.my question was for the influencer world and those with lots of followings In regards to the influx of influencers this year using Dubai as a work hub during lockdown was mainly for the relaxed rules around lockdown, sunshine, shopping.
I've no doubt all the seedy stuff happens too just not sure if the top influencers are on that road?
My niece and her pals and some boyfriends went for a fortnight too, they're mesmerized by the cars and glamorous life, they were influenced to go by influencers the fab time they're promoting.

Re prostitutes offered in parties. My uncle works in a very senior position for a big Japanese car company. They organise yearly parties in several capital cities for their senior members of staff. My uncle decided to go to the one in Brazil back in 2000. The invitation didn't include his wife but they went together anyway. They returned to the hotel after the party has finished to find two undressed young and incredibly pretty girls waiting on the bed!! The girls didn't leave even after seeing my uncle's wife and they spoke no English either. They only left after my uncle and his wife made a big fuss at the reception who then came and asked them to go and wait for their boss in the lobby. Apparently it was the done thing to be offered prostitutes after big parties! Needless to say my uncle's wife has never ever let him attend any of the company parties again.

This is a good intro to Debord

That's capitalism.

The society of the spectacle. Debord predicted it in the 1960s.

I started reading this thread yesterday and had nightmares last night about some of the scenes I read about on those blogs. I didn't even watch the videos.

Then today I was eating some pasta in sauce for lunch and I couldn't stop thinking it was someone's shit and I had to stop eating.

I just can't imagine how you would ever escape from those images if you had been involved in those kind of acts. How do you ever get over fucking a dog or eating someone's crapped out curry? What on earth do you get from a designer handbag that could be worth all that.

Even if you use the money "wisely" to buy a house or set yourself up with a business. What's the point if every time you go to sleep you are haunted by nightmares of someone shitting in your mouth?

Never mind the total fear of never getting off that yacht alive.

For a handbag. Basically a piece of dead cow sewn together to carry around pointless things nobody needs to post on a social media account for people you don't even know. And people will literally eat shit for that.

Something definitely went wrong in consumerist society if these are the things people think they need in life.

@debrianna

What code words?

This all makes me feel so sick. Money really does make the world go around. No wonder nothing changes.

That was @ZaraW.

Oh iswym, no of course not new in that way, oldest profession and all that.

I'm old and live in the states and I remember in the 1980's being invited to an "audition" because a Saudi man was looking to fill his harem. You had to sign a one year contract if accepted.

It was just one of those moments when I realized there was a whole different world out there - run by rich men seeking sex in every way shape and form.
