Saying something like Bloomington is just giving you a general area. Bloomington has almost a hundred thousand people so it'll be hard to pinpoint where in Bloomington you talking about unless some idiot said three blocks from the Mall of America.
Driving time and location is a factor in this for some people and It's good to have a general idea of where I'm going to be traveling. But I do agree that being too specific can be a problem.
Shouldn’t we stop posting on these discussion boards to much info on locations OR what areas we freak and fuck at or even drive and park our cars? Telling the whole America where we at sounds pretty wild to me. I don’t know about you guys - but I don’t want to be at one of the these locations - getting my dick sucked and get a knock on the door by who knows who because of to much info on these boards. No one can be that dumb? Am I right? We do pay for discretion and to leave at peace and you guys are posting exactly where we are at. C’mon fellas let’s not forget to be discreet and smarter. Just a thought?
And it's not only a discussion board problem, it also regularly shows up in reviews.
... about locations showing up in reviews, the other day someone with many reviews, thus should know better, put the NAME OF THE HOTEL in his review. 🤬 It’s been fixed, but it was out there for inquiring eyes to see for a few days. And the provider was from an agency, so they might use that hotel all the time.
PLEASE... be SMART and help everyone be SAFE, people!!
At this point, I believe that every location of the "group" that so many providers work with these days and always advertise on minnesotaerotica.com has been listed in multiple reviews, including one where the reviewer listed every location of which he knew. At some point, that group will become an LE target; it is simply too tempting. There is no need for us to make it easier for LE to do this.
Giving out a very general location such as DT, SLP, Bloomington is fine imo. I put that in another thread too. It's one the reasons I joined is to get a general area as it's super important to my selection criteria.
Specifics should not be given out. I don't want or need an address, building or anything else that specific.
Yes - saying Bloomington /DT or other is a help
Also agree that saying either one is is not going to pinpoint a location
One somewhat forgotten issue is if City X is mentioned multiple times for multiple providers a portion of the populous decides to get uptight about it now you have an increased potential from city councils to get the city cleaned up - that is when they have much bigger problems then worrying about consenting adults
Have never had a problem when checking rates getting general location in email.
Well your making my point for me - In the past I email one of the guys discreetly through ter privately asking the approx location or even the gals and it says the same thing what you’d see on here. Just makes no sense to me. There is many ways you can do this privately where the whole world doesn’t need to know where we are at.

If all I see for location is Minneapolis, I've already lost most of my interest. Be more specific than that, I am traveling from the southwest metro, so it would be nice to have an idea how far I am driving, or if I am going into a shithole.
If you say something like southwest metro, that is close enough. Everyone knows the likely worst case drive time. I wouldn't mention a suburb name as that alerts their LE.
There was another thread that said this.
Do really think with all the crap goin on, the local popo has time or the incentives to track down massage gals? And then put together an operation to prove it?
When was the last massage or escort sting?
I think unless there are other "things" going on with a particuar provider, popo is going to look the other way let sleeping dogs lie.
I shouldn't even bring this up but what if the intended provider or client has ties to a minority and harassed...public outcry would fry the LE org that attempted it.
Now if you're talking sex trafficking, you just went down a whole new path and topic.
If it needs to be asked, keep it to a general area. Or pm a recent reviewer for a general location. Considering that you need vip to pm anyone it should be a bit more safe that way for everyone.
There's still no need to specifically say which city a provider's incall is in. LE may have other priorities now but that can and almost certainly will change, particularly come the next election. If I'm going to see someone new, I don't need to know that level of detail from reviews or discussion boards. I can get it from the provider when I contact her. It's best to err on the side of caution.
Please be smarter! Do not name the specific city or worse yet neighborhood. If you call out a specific city then their LE may have it on their radar and it adds momentum. If you say SE metro then it is nobody’s problem as it is not happening in their city.

heh, I've never been to Lester Prairie.
Maybe I am wrong but I have never seen someone post an actual address of a provider on here - I guess it happened 6-7 years ago to call someone out but not recently. There is a place in Bloomington where girls provide: Really, which of the 50 hotels is it. There is also a US bank location: Lets start knocking on every door around there and hope for the best. Guys can always guess where they may work but they probably will be wrong.
Some examples I can think of off the top of my head:
- Post about a bust (not sex work related) with a picture of the building used by providers and enough info to easily identify the location
- Post about where some providers work that gave the street corner of their building
- Several reviews I’ve seen (and reported) that have enough info to pinpoint the building, and in one case pinpoint the suite in the building
Be smart about this, people! It’s not about showing off how much you know. It should be about keeping everyone safe.
That way the number of hotels is even larger and no particular police department knows it is in their jurisdiction.
I agree with everyone on being discreet, but I think its a pipe dream. I joined in 2012 and this subject was being brought up especially with amps. about 7 months ago I got kicked off us--- for saying the same thing and it turn out they own em also which i'm no longer a member. it seem every time someone got lucky they would brag about it and in about 90 days it was shut down. since i live in a small town market that has almost nothing since backpage went down it is frustrating. I was able to get back on us--- and talked to them, they claimed that there never been an instance when a place has been shut down because of this. apparently they are worried about advertising. also the suggestion of em fine but quite often people do not want to share. so like a lot of negative things you just have to a just to it.
