She says she is working to better identify male and trans female victims. Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey says her office strives to hold exploiters accountable, whatever the gender of their victims, in what she calls one of the “fastest growing criminal industries in the world.” She says many victims are unwilling to speak out, silenced by fear, trauma and often substance abuse issues. The Office of the Massachusetts Attorney General has filed 62 sex trafficking cases since 2012, but only one includes a male victim, state officials say. Prosecuting exploiters and traffickers of boys and young men is even more challenging. In Massachusetts, there is one program focused solely on helping sexually exploited male youth and trans females, and its revenue last year was less than half of its sister program for female youth run out of the same nonprofit, Roxbury Youthworks, Inc. Yet too often male victims of sexual exploitation go unseen and unhelped, specialists say, their stories stifled by personal shame, stigma and a world that has trouble seeing boys and young men as victims at all, especially gay and trans youth and boys of color. That same year, a federal study found a third of male youths experiencing homelessnes said they traded sex for something of value - putting their numbers in the thousands on any given night nationwide. A 2016 national study found more than a third of young people involved in the U.S. Definitive data is still lacking but recent studies show boys and young men are being exploited at much higher rates. The state just started collecting this data in 2016, and it is widely considered to be an undercount.

Unseen: The Boy Victims of the Sex Trade Pt. An additional 109 youth were identified as trans or non-binary, state data shows. In Massachusetts alone, more than 411 boys have been referred to the state Department of Children and Families since 2018 for concerns they were victims of commercial sexual exploitation - about 15 percent of the total number of referrals, according to state data. But there is growing evidence that in New England and across the United States there are likely thousands of male victims of commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking, far more than previously understood. “I didn't realize that I was a victim.”īates’ story is unusual only in that it is so rarely told: Boys and young men lured into the sex trade and victimized in ways the public generally assumes applies mostly to women and girls. “I really thought I was the bad person selling myself,’’ said Bates, now 26 and living in Worcester. His home - and an array of hotel rooms in Connecticut and Massachusetts - became a “revolving door” of sex buyers. No one did - and within two years, the tall, lanky youth was living alone in a dilapidated apartment, prostituting himself to get by. He secretly hoped his financially struggling single mother, or anybody, would notice what was happening and protect him. The demands snowballed into riskier requests, and within months the gay Connecticut teen was trading sex for dinners out, designer sneakers and other luxuries.īates says he was lured by the attention and what appeared to be easy money. Unseen: The Boy Victims Of The Sex Trade, Part IĬhris Bates was 16 years old when he started selling nude photos of himself on the internet to adult men who pressured him for more and more images. NO woman needs to be changing Gooey sheets or reaching blindly into a sticky clothes hamper! Especially if they got no enjoyment in getting things gooed up'! Just sayin'. But yeah.Pop needs to give them a "heads up". No worries - whether it's 2 brother's, or 2 buddies, it's fine and they won't "catch gay" from mutual actions, the worst that can happen? They might end up being in very solid relationships due to the fact that they grew up more open-minded than most men. And they're performing in person! Way better than video. They get charged up watching each other - watch each other jack off. They are obviously perfectly comfortable with their own bodies (and each other's) to get totally naked, bypassing the distraction of the initial akwardness It definitely is not their first mutual wank-fest.
Especially now that they're as old as 17? If I was barely 11 yrs old when I got in my 1st (of a buh-zillion) 'sticky situation', then this is certainly not their first shot at cumming of age.
