Craigslist: Site for Sex Slaves?

[Bears Discover Fire]

No judgementalism here.

Big difference in the online world between hooking up (casual encounters) and paying a sex worker for services (erotic services), though, and from your description, you sound like you engage in the former. Precision in terminology is paramount here. If you're posting an ad seeking a hook up with no monetary exchange, no screening process, no two call system, etc, and are not advertising your own sexual services in exchange for money, then you're into casual encounters, a different system than what I'm addressing. The online equivalent of picking up someone in a bar is a way different world, and process, than patronizing a professional sex worker online. There are some pretty specific rules and rituals for how escorts, massueses, etc interact with customers online.

Craigslist charges erotic services advertisers (not their customers - I don't think they're allowed to even post in Erotic Services anymore) $10/post (at last count) and requires they keep a working phone number and credit card on file, which CL moderators call to verify before allowing ads to be posted. CL must keep a paper trail it turns over to police upon supeona. The LE crackdown on CL erotic services a few years ago, and CL's response, was extremely well-publicized.

No such moderation or record-keeping exists for casual encounters or other adult-oriented categories.

I agree here was a reply to an add placed localy.

Re: - Any Magnum men out there? - w4m - 33

So, if any intelligent people read this, this is how it translates...............

I'm fat. And when I say fat.... i mean i'm more huge. BBW does now actually describe me. It should be more like FHB (Fucking Huge Bitch).

The reason she is looking for a "Magnum" man is because her hole is so fucking huge, when a light breeze goes by, it sounds like an old western grub blowing on a whiskey jug.

These broads gotta realize. There is a difference between BBW and "Morbidly Obese".

So before you go out there demanding to have a guy with a "Magnum" sized cock, you should be happy if ANY guy actually replies....cuz sweety, you should be happy that your KFC eating ass is actually getting any......and you should take it wherever you can get it.

Best laugh I had all day

For fuck's sake, every time I hear about Magnum condoms now I think of Danny DeVito's character on It's Always Sunny...

^^ I didn't even bother to try when I was there.

I can tell you as someone who works for a major erotic services advertising directory: I agree with the latter, but I can assure you you're wrong on the former. CL is/was a hot bed for traffickers, pimps and just plain scammers. The police, despite public blustering, love CL because nabbing traffickers and pimps from there is like shooting fish in a barrel.

On Craigslist you can find advertisements for people who have been kidnapped and are forced to perform sexually against their will?

YES. Before they were forced by the gov't to charge for advertising and collect personal info, 80% of Craigslist's erotic services posts were spam/scam, 15% were traffic victims being advertised by their pimps, and the remaining 5% were actual, independent escorts working free of coercison.

Wow, that's pretty amazing. Nice that the cops are able to use it to nab them, though.

I've seen some dodgy stuff on Kijiji too... people will use anything... o.0

I wonder if I have screencaps...

Well since we're posting the most hilariously stupid Craigslist postings:

Anal Sex

Looking for any hot girls that want to do anal and only anal. Vaginal sex is for Middle Schoolers.

 

[Jetfire]

Wow. The OT is way more important than "the most hilariously stupid Craigslist postings".

I have no problem with consenting adults paying each other for sex...but the story is about underage and non-consenting individuals being forced into prostitution and Craigslist being used to commit their crimes.

 

[Captain_Nick]

Are you nuts? This ad is much more important.

So I like a bit of hee-haw without any strings attached.

Me too. I grew up watching that show. I liked the musical guests, and Pickin' & Grinnin', and the Hee Haw Honeys, and...

What?



Hey, at least I didn't make a Sa-LUTE! joke.

I also don't "blame" Craigslist...like ABC.

^ To describe *my* social life, the more appropriate Hee Haw metaphor might be this:

"Gloom, despair, and agony on me..."
