    Sad Backpage Has Been So Slow!!

    so i've been using backpage to advertise for like the last ten years now (i do body rubs/sensual massage). it used to work just great but the last couple weeks work has been so slow and i'm not getting many calls and when not much work comes from the ones i do get. i know about all the drama backpage is going through in the news. is that what is causing the slow down in business? after backapage "took away the adult section" all the escorts seemed to move to "women seeking men" and the body rub girls moved to "massage". and that worked fine for quite a while. but just the last couple weeks business is really hard to come by. anyone else having similar experiences? any ideas where everyone is going to migrate to assuming what happened to craigslist will eventually happen to backpage?

    I think people are probably just laying low again because of the Eros raid, just like when backpage first got busted last winter. It'll prob pick up soon

    With the way shit is going in the Adult industry concerning escorting my optimism is shot. I mean there's a chance it could pick up soon, or it might be a regional thing cause a lot of my NY friends are telling me it's been kinda shitty up there. But tbh nothing is going back up unless backpage get's the adult section back hehe ... Everything is going downhill from here. History repeats itself if there's no change so Backpage will and is slowly dwindling away. If feasible I'd invest in a trip out of the states where FSSW is legal or sometime in the near future. There are a list of sites on this website that give an alternative list of places to advertise, I'm not sure how lucrative they are though. The power of trial and error!

    Millions in fines for backpage with charges by the U.S. Gov for sex trafficking tends to slow things down.
    Men being arrested in stings all across America and charged with sex trafficking tends to slow things down.

    The U.S. gov passing a law so that they dont need paperwork filed to go through your phone, chat apps, emails and such in search of sex trafficking might slow things down a bit. All the evidence they need will be there in the escort or customers phone to charge people for sex trafficking.

    After BackPage, Rentaboy & now the raid on Eros-guide clearly Law Enforcement is actively pursuing prostitution & sex traffickers. Despite how you feel about the law, they are cracking down.

    The customer is no longer protected like he used to be & only the escort punished. Now that the customer runs the risk of arrest & this arrest being made public with news & social media. They are less likely to risk their marriages & jobs getting caught.
