Posts: 1222What sites are you using
So what sites are mongers using these days now that Backpage is down and Craigslist has discontinued its therapeutic services section? As I mentioned in the massage parlor forum, time and money have been in short supply for me but I've looked over some ads to see who's out there. Adult Search and Live Escort Reviews seem to have some promise. A lot of the ads I've seen at Backpage ly, Bedpage and City X Guide appear to be even more dubious than the Asian crapshoot ads which dominated Backpage the last couple of years. And Adult Look had ads from providers whom I thought were retired. A couple of examples: I saw ads from Rachel, the leggy brunette who gave overpriced body rubs in Bethesda, and Sara, aka Swedish Sweetheart, who was based in South Florida but frequently traveled to this area. I understood Sara retired during the winter of 2016-17 and I hadn't seen Rachel advertise for over a year. Either they came out of retirement or Adult Look's ads are old.

So that's what I meant when I said no one has yet stepped up to the challenge of creating a true BP or CL replacement. Hopefully that'll change but right now I'm not seeing anything I think has the potential to achieve critical mass.

Posts: 1835The problem with all the potential BP replacements, so far.
While BP, and CL before them, both had sections for adult ads, they also had sections where legit CMTs, CMTs who also offered extras, AMPs, and FBSM providers felt comfortable posting their ads. I haven't seen that with any of the new sites I've looked at.
While some sites, for example onebackpage, appear to have a massage section, the site is so obviously geared to sex ads that I doubt if many, or any, CMT+sensual providers will ever want to post there. Escorts, yes, but not providers like Miss Virginia or most of the Thai masseuses.
With as much $ as there is to be made, I'm surprised someone hasn't simply copied the BP / CL model & format and put up a site like that. They could certainly tweak it to better protect themselves by doing more robust ad screening, keeping servers outside the US, etc. But, since it wasn't the format of the site that got BP in trouble, why not go with a tried-and-true format? BP and CL weren't perfect but they were both simple to navigate, clear in format, and good at showing the most current advertisers while also (BP) allowing sticky ads for which providers paid a premium. And it was those kinds of features, and the ease of use and accessibility, that helped them achieve critical mass.
Why reinvent the wheel? Even a blatant copy should do fine as I doubt either BP or CL would be in a hurry to sue for any kind of infringement. To date, nobody has really risen to the challenge. Many are trying but, IMHO, none are succeeding.

I think the winning sites will be those who figure out how to reach critical mass sooner and better than others, while avoiding the pitfalls that brought BP down. It's going to be interesting to watch.

I guess this site was just created. But this could be promising!

Posts: 2677Another source for ads
I always thought this page just copied and indexed the ads from Backpage, but I'm seeing ads with today's date. From one of the watermarks, they're still pulling ads from Sugar Nights.

Some of the older ads are obviously reposts but the newer ads appear to be the real deal. If you look at tall, blonde, VVV's ad, for example, she lists session prices that weren't in her old BP ads.
As word spreads about alternative sites, and more providers and hobbyists use them, the market will sort out the winners and losers.
