Just spent a hour or so going thru the Women>Men ads and it looks to me that many of the BP regular posters have already made the transition. Also, there are some in the Massage section. That section is a bit more challenging because there are no ages in the tag lines-only in the ad body and there are a lot of walk-in shops listed. Not sure how long this is going to last or if the BP folks will come up with some alternate site for those of us in the USA.
Seems the government has censored the adult section on BP.
Hopefully the ad board here doesn't get swamped with fake ads, been using it a bit more lately personally.
I hope not, I don't think a lot of girls know they can post on here either
Yes BP adult section is done in the US. Canada is still up and running thank God!
Is there an alternative??? Some of these girls its their whole livelihood!
On BP, there is the dating (women seeking men) section that has been in use for a while and I see lots of us massage-y types are using the Therapeutic section.

I tried to post on the "therapeutic massage" page on BP. I used tasteful pictures, very discrete wording, and paid $21 to have it reposted to thumbnail. It was removed that night! Bumped off, when there are many more explicit ads running. This happened to me in the summer, too--when it was slow I tried posting there. Lasted a few days then. Don't know how to get around the flagging. Use a different email? No website link? Create a new account with different credit card/no credit card? Advice, please. TIA
Backpage.com shuts 'adult' section in face of government pressure
Only in the U.S. Adult - ads still up for example in Toronto.
The unexpected move came hours after a U.S. Senate subcommittee released a report: "BACKPAGE.COM’S KNOWING FACILITATION OF ONLINE SEX TRAFFICKING."
The report also charges that Backpage officials know the site facilitates prostitution. “Backpage moderators told the Subcommittee that everyone at the company knew the adult-section ads were for prostitution and that their job was to 'put…lipstick on a pig by sanitizing them,'” the subcommittee alleges in the report."
53 page report at http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mccaskill.senate.gov%2Fimo%2Fmedia%2Fdoc%2F2017.01.10%2520Backpage%2520Report.pdf&h=-AQHgHD6H
It looks like the men for woman and the woman for men on backpage is where many adult ads are shifting to.
