Beware, with the Craigslist fiasco, and other sites that the LE are tracking, crack downs in SF, Chicago, LA, NY and Miami are going on.  have a friend who got arrested for her "experience" with a hobbiest as well as the Hobbiest getting tagged.....us hobbiests need to BE CAREFUL

Agreed.  I avoid CL all together.  Really sad, as met plenty of gems that ways.

Do you know what other sites LEOs are using? Craigslist no longer has an erotic services section, so I imagine that LEOs are expanding to other sites.

This is just BS. Money and effort better spent taking care of real crimes wasted in the least harmful activity to society (personalIy think if everyone got laid everyday it would be a much calmer / easier going society... ).
Where can one keep abreast of these crackdowns?

...forget legalize, it'll never happen. Too many gov't agencies will get into the act and it'll be seatbelts and safety harnesses, full body condoms and never a GFE/PSE. Simply make it an infraction, instead of something more serious, and it'll take away the incentive to tie up LE resources with trivial matters.

Hope and Change!
