Sex Workers Get Slammed, Eliot Spitzer Gets Off

Lux Alptraum — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 17:30:00 EST

It's a sad week for sex workers: not only was Proposition K, a San Francisco initiative that would have decriminalized prositution, soundly defeated; but now Craigslist is cracking down on their erotic services section, requiring "vendors" to verify their identities by providing a valid credit card to pay a small listing fee. Meanwhile, Eliot Spitzer won't be facing federal charges for his episode of gov love. Isn't justice great? (time.com + nytimes.com + gawker.com)

We're wondering what kind of response this Craiglist ad received a couple of weeks ago; surely there are plenty of Porn Valley actresses out there who would've jumped at the chance to portray Sarah Palin in a smut flick for a couple of thousand bucks, especially if there was no anal involved. And especially because it's just a matter of weeks before brunette MILFs with eyeglasses stop being such hot topical commodities in porn and return to being ordinary brunette MILFs with eyeglasses again.

Dacia And The Love Machine: The Movie

Jonnobot — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 11:50:28 EDT

When Fleshbot contributor and all-around sexy lady Audacia Ray reviewed the Fucking Love Machine for our Marital Aid Test Kitchen a while back, little did we know she was doing it for more than just the free orgasms: apparently she was also taking notes for a short film about her experience, which she released today. OK, so actually the film is about her experience trying to get rid of the damn thing and costars an eager buyer she found on Craigslist who ... well, we don't want to spoil the fun, so you'll just have to check out the short version of the video after the jump to find out.( And we hope you'll spring for the modest download fee to watch the longer edit too. After all, a gal can't rely on freebies for all her sex toy needs, you know.)

A Las Vegas TV reporter was fired from his job because he and his girlfriend went on Craigslist looking for another dude to join them in the bedroom. Wait a second, it's Las Vegas—isn't that what you usually have to do to get the job? (lvrj.com; also seen @ soupcans.blogspot.com)

Here's a tip for Craigslist casual encounters fans: If you're going to meet a stranger for some light bondage play, maybe do it in a nice quiet hotel room so, you know ... innocent bystanders don't think you are raping a bound-and-gagged kidnap victim in a public park. It makes it much harder to explain things to your wife later. (katu.com)

You thrilled to his misanthropic natterings in this weekend's New York Times Magazine cover story ... now read all about the news that notorious "Craigslist Experiment" troll Jason Fortuny is getting sued by one of its victims for "act(ing) with actual malice to harm and deceive the individuals responding to the Craigslist ad." Hey, even allegedly arrogant, self-centered, nasty, egotistic, and sadistic dudes on Craigslist have feelings too, y'know. (10zenmonkeys.com)

Providers, Hobbyists, And Hardwood Floors: Walking The Virtual Streets

Dashiell Bennett — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 12:05:49 EDT

Free and open discussion of things that were formerly considered taboo is one of the best things about the interweb: websites like Craigslist and The Erotic Review have made it easier than ever for ~~johns~~ hobbyists to hire ~~hookers~~ providers for ~~sex~~ sensual fun, and have also made it more convenient for ~~sex workers~~ auto racing enthusiasts to offer their services and network with one another. But that doesn't mean it's still not a mysterious enterprise with a language all its own (who knew that "We took a trip to the Mediterranean" was shorthand for "anal sex"?) and its own private message boards where users do their best to avoid the wrong kind of attention.

Take the website "Seattle Art Suppliers," for example, which used to be "St. Louis Auto Specialists"—and which is actually a forum where escorts and their customers can "discuss everything from gardening to philosophy to how they prefer one another's pubic hair to be groomed". (Or at least it was until an article about it appeared in the local alt weekly.) It seems that some discussions on the interweb still need to be kept under wraps after all. The more things change ...

If you're trying to get laid on Craigslist, here's a tip: Tell the women you meet that you're former NBA veteran Jeff Turner. Apparently, ladies love journeyman power forwards with a career six-points-per-game average, yet even the most die-hard female hoops junkie probably won't realize that you're lying. It's the (almost) perfect crime! (seattlepi.nwsource.com via bostonist.com)

Remember that vegan strip club that opened like six weeks ago in Portland? Yeah, it's up for sale on Craigslist already. Serious buyers only, of course, because Craigslist is where serious businessmen go to buy serious businesses. (craigslist, via Gawker, via rivercitykitty.com)

Got two tickets to the Academy Awards and a penchant for cuckoldry? This Craigslist ad posted by a man and his very willing girlfriend has (sadly) been taken down, but it would have been right up your alley. Heck, bring a video camera and you could've even have had an entry for the 2009 ceremony! (Defamer)

Violet Blue — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 10:29:21 EST

If it is indeed Jason Williams (of "Flesh Gordon" fame, not the NBA star known ironically in this context as "White Chocolate"), who posted a recent Los Angeles Craigslist ad, it looks like some lucky writer could partner up for another "porn star tell-all" for the next Judith Regan bestseller. And hopefully said writer can also dig up the rest of Williams' supposedly salacious 1970s porn exploits, as our results are looking a little limp. Not that we didn't love his star turn in "Alice in Wonderland: The Porn Musical", because we did. (laist.com)

Planning to spend the next four years making money as a "President" John Edwards impersonator? Well, things don't look too good for you right now, but there's still hope to be found on Craigslist—"I am willing to let you do anything you want with my ass, as long as you let me call you Mr. Edwards and you dress up in a suit." Just make sure the real thing doesn't get there first. (craigslist.org, via Wonkette; pic via voteforbreakfast.com)

We're pretty much dyed-in-the-latex, nerdc0re leg humpers and geek-lusters around these parts, so we're lees impartial to judge when an olde-skool nerd posts to Craigslist for a little companionship. Unless it's a spoof, but we're not so sure... Though we hope Mr. Stallman finds the free (extra soft) software sweetie he desires with all the necessary ports and apps, regardless.

It seems some Red Sox fans are going a little batty with World Series fever ... or they just figure baseball is as good an excuse as any to troll for sex on Craigslist. Why should the players get to do all the scoring? (bostonherald.com, via bostonist.com)

Dashiell Bennett — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 11:24:44 EDT

Is someone reposting the infamous Craigslist "prank" ad to lure in more unsuspecting domination lovers? Or are they just bored and uncreative? Unless you don't mind having your co-workers find out what a freak you are, you should probably look the other way. (craigslist.org - thanks, mp!)
