Been in the hobby for over 20 years and used different names on TER. The internet thing has changed as well, however trust my the only constant in life is change. We adapt and like everything else in life - if there is a will there is way. Look how I am in the shadow of the lawmakers who created this recent fear, yet still able to post and see many others are doing same.
......... and I'm sure that a lot of them are reacting out of fear of real loss.
I think the best we mongers can do, is to make an appointment ASAP with our favorite ladies.
The only way through something is through it. So, let's all get back to the business of pleasure and sport fucking.
Have fun , everyone.

Pre-booking ASAP as will be a lovely for distraction from all of the mess that’s going on right now.
I just want to go back to having Sexy fun and pretend this isn’t happening for a moment !!
Come escape with me!

Many of us are making changes to keep our business safe, discreet and fun....like always!
Guys just need to keep up with us, making changes on your side as well - and ask your ladies for help, if you need. Many of us are tech savvy.
A lot of us are collecting email addresses from "interested gents" for future mailing lists. Email us now as websites may be changing soon.

Yes and yes!
I'm one of those ladies creating a mailing list of my interested gents. It's been getting a little cold out here and I don't want to risk losing touch!

Maybe with a positive attitude towards this we can move forward with a glass half full. When times get tough we need to persevere.
Best wishes to all the amazing and genuinely beautiful souls out here. If we haven't met, I hope our paths cross. If our paths never cross, know that I got nothing but respect and good juju for you. ❤
You are a very special woman. We will meet one day.
I had a wonderful tryst with a beautiful and talented friend who is just getting back into p4p, after some life challenges.
It was just before getting on my flight to Australia.
It's the best way to prepare for a whole day of flying.
I think it's important for the mongers to be vocal about our intentions and exploits to lend some confidence to the ladies who are going through so much uncertainty.
Nothing like a shot of endorphins in the brain to chase the blues away.
I have a date in a few hours, but the gal contacted me because she was so upset about all this repression and felt spooked. I told her to think about what she was saying, and how depriving herself (and myself) of the joys of P4P is just what the man wants to happen.
Thought about that way, she is now enthusiastic about meeting.
My website that Ive maintained for over 4yrs was killed yesterday along with 4yrs worth of content.. pretty big blow for me but I will adapt and rebuild. What else can we do but learn to survive so we are able to thrive again. Much love to all of my fellow ladie and a huge thank you to the gentlemen who love and support us WE APPRECIATE YOU!

my website, 4 years old was shut down Friday, I am still in shock, I was sad over the weekend, now I am angry.
We will survive, I will be fine, we met so many great guys on ter over the last 4 years.
TER is a valuable property, they are in cya mode hoping they can return when times get more normal.
Hopefully this is bottom, it sure feels like it. Hopefully the next generation in congress brings us up to speed with the rest of the civilized world so Americans can enjoy the same freedoms that Europeans, Canadians Asians, south Americans have. wait a minute why do I still live here if we don't have freedom whats the fucking point?
Stay safe ladies
90% of backpage girls will have a tough time finding their way. Those ladies with feet on the ground will make it work if thngs don't get much worse. Losing TER would be devastating to all of us. My website is up and twitter is new to me so if I lose it no big deal.
I have been lazy and this is a wake up call. Need to work on my website and become a more productive person. Being a backpage girl was easy for me. My phone rang off the wall. I answered when I wanted to and missed 90% of my calls. I already placed an ad on the grownup site a few months ago "EROS" with expectations that backpage would die a very quick death. Click of a switch so to speak and their gone.
Have a good day .... Kisses Haley
Ladies-
Based on recent moves in the US (which are likely unconstitutional, but that's sort of a moot point right now), I'd suggest ladies set up new websites hosted in countries where this profession is legal or unregulated, with all assets and contacts assigned to a part in that jurisdiction.
All USA hosted websites, as well as USA administered domains, are subject to seizure. US authorities would need assistance from other nations to seize sites hosted in their countries and (technically or otherwise) owned by their nationals. The US has no "Great Firewall", so blocking isn't really an issue.
Of course, now that the US is run by people not really interested in the rule of law, none of this is sure-fire, but it's better than hoping for the best or going dark.
Have you considered emailing every provider on your TER "Favorites" list or providers you have contact info on and helping them understand the workaround? Of course if a provider is happy with her source of clients then it is not an issue, but it can be helpful if they do rely on TER and understand its value.
I sent the following email message to many of my favorites, explaining the situation to them;
Your computer connection has an i.d., called an I.P address. Just like a 212 area code is clearly New York, your I.P. address is geographically sequenced in the same way. TER has configured its server so computers with U.S. I.P. addresses are blocked and can not access their website because of the change in U.S. federal law. If you think TER is important to you then I would suggest subscribing to a VPN. I have been doing it for years and it not only allows me to hide my I.P. address and log into the Internet from a different state/country, it also prevents my user name and passwords from being compromised when I buy things online and do online banking.
Here is a "Google" list of the best VPNs;
https://www.top10vpn.com/best-vpn-for-usa/?v=2&bsid=c33se1kw011&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2KHWBRC2ARIsAJD_r3dsZZ2OCErVsEImcSTdaQAOSps9-uKdQ7V0VN48SfVzdXVA_cCkSKEaAj5yEALw_wcB
Once you choose and install a VPN (virtual private network), you will click on an icon the install creates on the desktop of your computer and that will activate the VPN. You will be given a choice of the city/country you want an I.P. address from. I choose the U.K. This way my computer generates an I.P. address outside of the U.S. and TER servers do not block my computer from accessing their website.
TER servers think my computer is in the U.K. NOT the U.S. Make sense? Last time I logged into TER there was all kinds of discussion about this very point.
Of course if you do not think TER is important to you then don't worry about it.
will get through this! Catch me on Twitter/IG @luvavamoore
VPN. I have a list for anyone that wants it! I’m hearing they are starting to block certain US VPNs so just let me know!

Last week I asked myself, "if the internet disappeared, what information would I wish I'd recorded?"
I went through various websites and made a list of phone numbers, addresses, etc.
A valuable tool may be www.archive.org - which allows you to call up old archived copies of websites that have been disabled.
I will continue to evolve and adapt as always but I am nowhere near quitting this lifestyle. I don't know what the other side of this looks like but I know there will be plenty of us fine ladies and gents there.
There are mixed blessings in all of life's challenges. I am gratified by the kindness of my gentlemen friends here and wherever they had offered support.
I switched to protonmail.com. I can change again. My website is backed up and it will be moving to an offshore server. Added VPN and my pea brain for technical things hasn't exploded yet.
Life goes on naughtily!!
Kisses,
Anneke
I already redid my site, moved it offshore, changed my domain, got a VPN, TOR, Protonmail, joined Switter. Backing up my mailing lists so I can remove my presence from Gmail completely.
You now can reach me at:
[email protected] (yes that is a Protonmail domain too)

Great! thanks for taking the lead on this! protonmail is great - been using it for years. You can set a time limit on all you emails for decryption - thus the email will essentially self destruct after a certain time, and can never be decrypted. I love this feature!! Even if someone got the login to a persons email they could never ever read the contents of my email.
Now, on day of appointment how do we communicate? Do we make a call over an open line? do we text using regular test messages?
Let's make a push industry wide to move to all secure comms. For texting etc, we should use "textsecure" or "signal". Ladies must be the ones to start pushing this out -- the guys will do whatever is required, but its up to the ladies to set the standard!
It's way past time that we all move to encrypted comms and need to move all review and ad sites to require VPN, this is safest for everyone. We'll get through this with some pain and come out better for it.
the brown-shirts aren't on every street corner monitoring cellular traffic.
Monger: "I'm here"
Provider: "Rm 416"
No need for secure texting.
Guys (at least me) will NOT do "whatever is required," we all have our limits. Just read every post about giving real ID, photos, and deposits.
ok guy.. keep using your gmail tied back to your IP too, you might as well hand out your real ID - they have it if they wanted it anyway.
but really nice strawman there.. equating using a secure message app to the complete opposite end of the spectrum of providing real ID, etc. gg.
i agree completely.
Keep an eye on the websites of your favorites, join twitter to keep in touch with us and see us when you can!!
I'm making changes as well. I have a new email, got a VPN, backed up my mailing lists, and now I'm researching new website alternatives.
This is for sure a stressful time for ALL ladies and gents!, And it will make it very unsafe for all of us..
but, I once heard a great saying ,
''Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it.''
Dont panic ladies, We will figure something out
Great week all xoxoxo
I’ve been around since the early 00’s and have seen many changes come and go. We always find new ways of doing things. I am looking for alternative places to advertise and have joined switter. At the moment I have a gmail address. Shall I get rid of that ASAP, as well?
One thing is for sure...if we all stick together and help one another out, we will get through this a lot easier.
xoxoxoxo,
Ava Reese
I like protonmail been using it for years. it's all encrypted and much more secure, much much harder/impossible for your "blackbook" to ever get out. you can also set expiration times on your email, so if you sent something sensitive and never wanted it to go anywhere beyond the one person you sent it to and for a limited time, you can control all that. I also like secure messaging apps like whatsapp, a quick search of best secure messaging apps will give you some food for thought.
I am visiting from Europe
just arrived last week when the madness broke out.
can't believe me eyes really!
