As everyone is well aware of, the recent high visibility to the real but extremely exaggerated "human trafficking" issue has resulted in increased pressure on AMPs as well as AAMP/escort activity as well. In a sense the world of mongering is a victim of its own success, and in a way boards such as MPR, which have been an asset to many of us in exchanging information, have also helped make it too easy for both LE and self-appointed activists to target and take down many of the more popular and higher visibility establishments.

Some hobbyists are asking if this means that your friendly neighborhood AMP is going the way of the rotary telephone or the fax, but I can't see where an entire community of providers is suddenly going to shut down and go away. What I DO see is a renewed emphasis on security and discretion among AMP owners who are in effect lowering their profiles to function in an essentially "Prohibition" environment.

Please allow me to offer an example of what I am trying to get at above. A quite well-known MILF of note in the LA metropolitan area who used to offer happy endings left and right over the last year has allegedly gone "legit" to the point where many former recipients of her services now grumble openly in reviews of not receiving extras. She no longer runs her suggestive CL or BP ads displaying her best assets, and her ads now suggest she's more of a "day spa" operation catering towards soccer moms who also want facials (not the type you're thinking of, sickos... LOL) and aromatherapy and other New-Age type treatments. Her website suggests that her primary clientele are now women, and has even hired at least one male of decidedly non-heterosexual orientation to give that vibe to casual visitors. However, she still does offer at least happy endings to select discreet regulars, and has recently leased another unit in her complex, a little cozy medical/professional building on a tree-lined suburban street. She had had major renovations over the last few months and gave me a little tour the other day. Her addition includes a nice little suite with slate tiles, a nice-sized jacuzzi that can hold 4 adults with a big screen TV, what appears to be a wet bar, multiple showers and various rooms off to the sides. She says it's her little "party suite" she can rent in the evenings, and mentions that she can "get more privacy" away from her employees and regular walk-in customers. I kid her a bit about the big jacuzzi and asked if she comes with party suite rental. She laughed a bit and insisted no, but after a nice 90 minute session with her (where she was convinced to provide services above and beyond her normal known offerings, albeit for a considerable donation), she mentioned that we could perhaps get together in the hot tub some time when the establishment was closed for the night, and the other employers weren't around. Now I ask you if that sounds like someone who is going legit...
