[QUOTE=ArchersTarget;3788877]Backpage is gone and Craigslist therapeutic is gone. All from today.[/QUOTE]Also, across the street has just closed to the USA ThE otheR place it is. Looks like pretty much all places will be gone soon.
Will be too much work to find someone to see. For me I will not be bothered hunting around, may go on SA and see what happens.
I am sure many pros will move there.

[URL]http://www.backpage.com/[/URL][/QUOTE]Hey guys just want to warn you guys. I know some of you use seeking arrangements and think it's safe. THINK AGAIN, I tried seeking arrangements with hope of finding a good regular. I communicated with and met a girl in va, The girl that I met was a cop! She used her real pictures and all. I was totally caught off guard. Apparently there was some trafficking or something going on and she said since Craigslist was done guys have been using that site. Luckily I was let go but still suffering from post traumatic stress! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED, this was my very first time meeting someone and that shit happened to me, needless to say I deleted my account. But if you use that site to find anything other than a sugar baby be careful, cops are all over this!
Remember the girl / cop was in va but I don't see why md / dc wouldn't be doing the same thing. Hope this helps-.

[URL]http://www.backpage.com/[/URL][/QUOTE]Yeah so they really believe that seizing backpage makes all these places go away? No I don't think so. Just because they can't advertise doesn't mean they seize to exist. So we will still go to the aamps and the massage parlors and negotiate for HJ, BJ, FS. MP's will still bring in asians from all over and they can call it trafficking but the good ole rub and tug will be around for ever. After all there are other ways to search for MP's in your area Backpage is not the only option.

Home of the free!
Unless you want to do a transaction between two legal and consenting adults giving cash for sex.
I thought Republicans were about less government and more freedom. Isn't that what they run on? Why do bible thumping weirdos like Sessions and Pence represent the party? Why does the most powerful person in the country let this happen when we know damn well he has no problem mongering.
With these two down, mongering days are hard now.
[QUOTE=Zimmm33;3789454]Congrats to you idiots that voted in Republicans.[/QUOTE]I think you're mistaking amigo. The Reps have their problems but it's not the Reps that drive this but rather the Dems. Women rights, human trafficking and so on: these are Democratic issues. The Reps don't give a hoot about things like that, it's the the female side of the Dems that push everybody in that direction. If the Reps had their way we would still have prostitution banned but LE wouldn't pay any attention to it. The Reps would pray in the morning and visit a whorhouse at night.
In light of recent developments, I'm pondering 'what next' and have a few thoughts.
Alternatives. I don't intend to start a 'what should we use thread', and yes, fully cognizant of USASG's offering, but more wondering how a solution that was at BPs / CLs scale can emerge. First, the fervor with which the trumpets are attacking this tells me a non-dark web solution would be tough? I can't claim to know enough about whether having servers in another country protects one (kimdotcom), but even if it does, getting to the stage where you have even close to the number of unique visits / clicks that BP had would be a task in itself.
The SPs. Spoken to a few regulars and they are all shitting bricks. A bunch of them had paid up for weekends at hotels and are sounding a bit desperate (which could be advantageous for us), but in the long term, what do they end up doing? The crackheads? Back out on the streets. Maybe some more activity for our SW brethren, but LEO have been upping their presence so will be interesting to see. The local 'part-timer', who has another job during the week? The streets are probably a stretch, maybe another McDonalds job or similar? Likely keep seeing regulars that they have, but low demand will mean they can't ever justify booking a hotel, so far fewer incalls. Traveling girls? Well, we can probably say goodbye to fresh talent. It will be impossible to cover costs without a reliable solution in most cities, let alone Boston.
The mongers. Well, senior members might seem to have it sorted, and are likely best poised to extract value from the current frenzy, however the reality will set in that a few seniors can't provide enough demand for the number of SWs and their cost structure. The regulars. Well, real regulars will have to rely on their own contact books and development of regulars. Fake regulars who just troll and want others to toftt will fade back into the shadows and boost pornhubs numbers. I suspect there may be some more migration to the SW scene, but I suspect most are on here because they value creature comforts.
It would be interesting to hear other's opinions, and If anyone wants to PM, you know where I'm at.
In all this, I'm thinking about how it could affect supply, demand (and as a result, pricing) and quality / safety.

But Republicans control everything right now, including and most importantly moron Jeff Sessions at the DOJ which is behind this. There is nothing happening at the federal level right now that is not sanctioned by Republicans.
How does Eros survive? Or is it just a matter of time for them?

Nothing to do with sex or trafficking. Now, the entire site is inaccessible!
The press is hysterical. In today's New York Daily News, an article began with "Sex ads platform [URL]Backpage.com[/URL]. ".
"Most users ever online was 3,667, Today at 18:41. ".

"There's just something about Backpage that makes politicians want to stupidly and misleadingly grandstand. Just hours after the Supreme Court effectively blessed the 1st Circuit ruling saying Backpage hadn't broken the law, Senator Claire McCaskill (DEMOCRAT) released a report that blasts Backpage for "knowing facilitation of online sex trafficking. ".
I see a site called -"cityxguide dot com" is running still. It has pretty good pics. Check it out.
Pretty good site with decent options.
Thanks for sharing. I feel like this is an index / cache of BP. Reason I believe this is that I was on BP earlier today before they pulled it, and the numbers / girls look familiar. I've been on BP enough the last few weeks to be able to tell when the weekend arrivals / new girls turn up. Proof of my theory will be what the site looks like tomorrow! It is still a useful reference though if you have numbers stored but can't rmember the pictures.
Any more technical members know of a good way to make an archive of everything they have on their site for future reference?

Nrlmus, if you're going to state the facts, try doing the research first. Yes the Reps may have had the problem but its not accurate your assessment.
If you didn't lie about serving in the armed forces, then maybe you'd have a little more credibility when you speak about politics. Some might doubt your claim my friend. Thats being called a fraud.

When you control a body, NOTHING comes to the floor that the party in control won't pass. Google Hastert Rule, "amigo"
Not to continue with politics but I do think it's both sides. Republicans are all "family values" and Dems are all "#MeToo" so both sides can take blame with this shit. No need to fight each other. This is a bipartisan FU to us. Both parties finally agree on something and it screws us.
Now we need to come together and have a good alternative.
The sad part is, 99%(I hope) mongers have no problem stopping trafficking or underage stuff. We agree, get that stuff off places like backpage so it can't thrive.
Ironically, banning does more to help traffickers. Every time mongers are forced to dig deeper into the "black market", chances increase of finding and unknowingly supporting trafficking circles. A legalized prostitution system allows us to monitor and protect willing sex workers and a massive amount of people stop using the black market as a result.
It's like weed. I haven't bought it off the street since I got my medical card. Why would I? Now that I'm buying legally, I'm supporting local growers rather than criminals in the streets. It's a win / win just like legal prostitution.
The problem is, nobody wants to fight for it because of the stigma involved. No politician is going to come out in support of it. Especially after MeToo. The best they can do is ease up on places like backpage and allow BP to screen these girls as best they can. Just turn their head and have it about as "illegal" as jaywalking.
LOL. Glad you're not the only one to point it out from that Imbecile.

And the executive is Republican?! Are you for real? Are you trying to tell me that you think that Donald Trump is dead set to go after commercial piece of ass and their clients?! Dude you must've lost some serious common sense out there in Argentina. If Trump had his way the prostitution would've been legalized in the United States at his birth! Stick with Macris dude, and make sure that the two stay together too would you? Because judging by the body language from the last Macris's visit to the United States it won't be Stormy Daniels we'd be talking about soon but rather some passionate inter-American threesome and it wouldn't involve Mr. Macri too.
P.S. Admin2, I tried to move this political shit to the Massholes but for some reason you still decided to keep it going here where it clearly doesn't belong. I really think you should move every related post to the Massholes.
They are all awful; country has so many problems and they focus on this.
End of an era. Lots of great pussy and not so great pussy over the years. BP, you will be missed.
