The same goes for sites like SkipTheGames and Listcrawler which are both operated overseas. It's why they survived and are still operating long after Backpage got nuked by the government and Craigslist removed their ads. I figure if those sites are out of reach of the feds I don't think a state law out of Indiana is going to concern them all that much.

If I had to guess I'd wager Pornhub and the various free porn sites that are operated stateside are the ones that I think will be hit the hardest once the law goes into effect. Even in those cases I think they find a not terribly horrible way of complying as it's in their financial interest to do so because, as the old joke goes, "If all the porn websites were removed from the internet there would only be one website remaining called Bringbacktheporn.com"

Good info. PornHub has announced that none of their sites will be accessible in Indiana after June 27. They have already pulled out of other states that passed similar laws. Seems like if the states motive was really verification or keeping kids out, they would have allowed Preferred 411 or other similar sites which are safer verification options. I have now read a summary of your new legislation. They made it as risky as possible to verify. Upload state ID and no recourse at all if the info gets hacked or stolen or you get "outed". I guess we will see which sites survive and which ones don't.

Remember if we cannot access sites in Indiana, neither can the providers. Will they be willing to post? Or if they do, their actual contact info is certainly available to LE. Even if they have to subpoena the sites to get it.

I guess in a week we will know.

Another user suggested setting up a VPN with an address in another location. I appreciate that there are potential work-arounds available to view sites that we have taken for granted. Reporting here on USAG is consistent, but it has dropped off from where it had been when I joined some years ago. I had two private messages that pointed out that we may get access using VPN, but there may not be anything here to read since most users will not bother to do that and will just quit posting. Another user sent a link to an article that indicated traffic to his favorite site of his dropped off by 80% in states that already implemented similar laws. I also had three PM's commenting on the politics of Indiana.

This is the most responses I have gotten to a post in a long time. Seems like this issue has hit a nerve. I think this is going to be a change that will be as big as when Backpage shut down or when many quality providers decided to move to OnlyFans instead of meeting their "fans" in person.

Just in case we don't get the chance to exchange thoughts here in the future, I wish my Indiana friends good luck!

It could be the age verification law that you're thinking of. That is already being challenged because it is so vague.

This will be another shift on the scale of when Backpage shut down. Too many changes getting way too deep into our personal lives and personal business.

Anyone dream of a TS in the area before? I would like to try one sometime. Playing catcher is a lot of fun if you know what I mean.

Thank you sir.

1) Review the ads.

2) Do your research here on those you find intriguing.

3) Have a session.

4) This is important. Post to the forum about your experience.

5) Repeat.

Not trying to be wise guy, but this is the way to gain experience & info from others here.

Welcome to the board. Be careful & stay safe!

Only have seen one in porn. Can you share any insight on how Pleasureland's work? Days / hours, $$ etc? Is it marked or discreet? Any other info on Pleasureland? From the reviews it seems like a hookup hangout. TIA.

**FrankNBeans78** · 11-16-23 20:07

And the house next to Bob Miller's have in common? The fires of passion (or a lit crack pipe) caught them on fire.
