This is probably a stupid question but don’t understand it because it keeps happening more now than ever especially since Diddy. If I take my girlfriend to a restaurant she does not want to go to across state lines is that sex trafficking? Since we will probably have sex later?

      It can and does happen to men, and trans and intersex people as well, but its far more commonly associated with women.

      Most of the market for prostitutes globally is men seeking women… but not always.

      It… also happens with children of all sexes.

      Its unfortunately not uncommon for a child to be either abducted or lured into sex slavery, though being technical that now becomes child sex trafficking or sex trafficking of a minor, which usually has even more harsh punishments.

      You’re probably not a native speaker, so please be warned - the term “female” is reserved for animals, just like the term “male”. It can be viewed as rather disrespectful when talking about human beings. The right word to use is “woman”. You used the word “man” correctly there while using the derogatory word “female” at the same time, which can make you seem misogynistic.
