Mistress Eva Lordes Adults Only 18+

Bad news for Craigslist users who like to peruse the Erotic Services Adult Services section of their site. It’s gone, replaced by a large black and white “censored” logo.

I’ve reached out to Craigslist for comment and await their reply. But the choice of words is significant – the section wasn’t simply removed, the censored word was used.

The site has been embattled as old press and state attorneys general use any excuse to blame sex crimes on the site. From South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster’s failed crusade against them to a variety of press stories about sex and other crimes. If it’s just a sex crime it isn’t a story. But if a listing on Craigslist was involved, it’s a big story.

Craigslist has fought back using little more than their blog and logic. And they’re right. Having prostitution up front and regulated, as Craigslist does, means less crime is associated with it. It’s not like prostitution, sometimes called the world’s oldest profession, was invented on the site.

The fact that eBay and others do exactly the same thing, but without human review and moderation, doesn’t seem to matter. Craigslist Sex is what scares the general population, and it’s what the press and the politicians will continue to use to get their hits and votes.

So the Craigslist Adult Section was removed. Is the world now a safer place?

Update: This only appears to affect U.S. sites, so if you’re looking for a happy ending in Saskatoon or the West Bank, have at it.

Mistress Eva says: This is a sad day for many of my Craigslist hoes! There is no telling how many of my sluts wanked to those ads let alone met the Female and Male escorts. I know many of my sissy bitches had fantasies of making me money through that site.

They say prostitution is the oldest profession in the world. It has thrived for a long time and a another site will take off where Craigslist finished. For Craigslist, it was a multimillion business so you know there are people ready to capitalize on this censorship.

The Dow may be down, but the sex toy industry is heating up online and
in store. From Web behemoth Amazon to Brooklyn boutique store Shag,
sales of an increasing range of sexual accessories are on the rise.

“Everyone says thank God you opened - it’s about time,” said Sam Bard,
36, who co-founded Shag in Williamsburg last December.

“Each month’s been better than the last,” she said.

The “sexy shop” sells everything from vintage handcuffs to body paints
and hosts sex-themed events like “introductory lessons in rope-bondage.”

Bard believes the recession helped the business, which opened on
Roebling St. for rent considered low for the gentrified neighborhood.

“More couples are staying at home to save money, so rather [than]
spending $150 on a one-time dinner, they will spend the same amount
for toys that will continue to be used indefinitely,” she said.

Customers agree. “The expense of the toys is so insignificant compared
to the growth of the relationship sexually,” said Heather, 40, who
admits that even though she’s on a tight budget, she and her boyfriend
laid down $150 on a “his and her” vibrator.

Sex accessories store Babeland, which has three outlets in the city,
makes half of its sales online. It recorded an 18% spike in Web
visitors and a 13% jump in sales in 2009.

“New Yorkers account for the biggest percentage of our online sales,”
said spokeswoman Pamela Doan.

Meanwhile, even household company names are getting in on the action.
Amazon launched its Sexual Wellness page in 2003 with 338 items,
mainly condoms and lubricants. But it soon began to market more
adventurous items - restraints, vibrators and flavored lubricants.

“We’ve seen this category grow pretty significantly over the last
couple of years,” said spokeswoman Charmaine Diploa. Now the company
stocks nearly 60,000 items, with adult toys and games being the
biggest share.

A recent week’s best-selling item was the “Magic Wand Massager” - a
nonphallic vibrator - and “Doc Johnson Lucid Dream #5″ - a multispeed
waterproof stimulator.

Amazon reckons its sales surge is due to its discretion - and unique
brand of convenience.

“Customers receive an Amazon box and no one needs to know what’s
inside except for that customer,” said Diploa. “And they love the fact
they can purchase a vibrator, a watch and a Kindle all in one place.”

(Mistress Eva says, There will always be death taxes and SEX! Until the human race ends, SEX will sell. Ironically, my Phone Domination/Phone Sex Business is doing well considering we are in a Recession. August was one of my busiest months! Now maybe I should sell sex toys too!)

Experts predict that popular classified site Craigslist will earn $36
million this year from adult services ads, three times the 2009 profit
from adult ads. Based out of an unassuming San Francisco storefront,
the company’s known for allowing users to find jobs, rent apartments,
and write creepy letters to Whole Foods employees; it’s also predicted
to bring in $122 million this year, a 22% increase from 2009, reports
the New York Times [1].

In nineteen major American cities, users must pay to post job
listings, and New Yorkers must also pay for real estate listings. But
adult ads now cost $10 each ($5 for repeat postings) in all 438 of the
site’s US markets. And that adds up to big profits.

James Buckmaster, Craigslist CEO, said he would not confirm the
numbers because the traditionally secretive company does not discuss
its finances publicly. (The revenue estimate was released by industry
analysts independent Advanced Interactive Media Group.) Initially,
Craigslist committed to donate profits from sex ads to charity but
reversed its decision last May, declining from then on to acknowledge
where the money goes. The company also decided last May to raise the
price for adult services ads from $5 to $10.

The AIM group estimated that the site’s expenses–salaries, servers,
bandwidth and legal fees–will cost under $50 million this year,
meaning that the company could see a $70 million profit in 2010. Mr.
Buckmaster responded to the Times via e-mail:

Of the sex ads, he wrote, “Of the thousands of U.S. venues that carry
adult service ads, including venues operated by some of the largest
and best known companies in the U.S., Craigslist has done the best and
most responsible job of combating child exploitation and human
trafficking.”

The company has started two non-profits. The Craigslist Foundation,
which received $648,000 in 2008, does not make any donations. But the
newer Craigslist Charitable Trust, which was started in 2008 by Mr.
Buckmaster and site founder Craig Newmark, is even more of a mystery;
Mr. Buckmaster refused to explain the trust’s purpose to the Times.

In 2008, after much criticism, Craigslist eliminated the “erotic
services” section and replaced it with the “adult services” category.
In order to post ads now, users must have a registered account, which
requires e-mail verification and a phone number. (The system is
totally faulty, though, because people change phone numbers fairly
regularly these days and plenty of people can’t create accounts
because previous people with that number–or household members who
share a landline–can’t post ads.)Craigslist Projected To Earn $36 Million This Year From Adult Ads

It’s just another day at The Armory in San Francisco: A bound and naked woman is laid out on a stylish serving table. Elegantly-dressed people of both sexes gather around—enjoying the view, apparently—and take turns having their way with her. Various devices are deployed—dildos, floggers, electrical stimulators. She says “Thank you, sir” and “Thank you, madam” frequently.

Welcome to “The Upper Floor,” a high-definition Internet reality show where, website copy states, “real submissive women and real submissive men become house slaves to be dominated, trained, punished, spanked, whipped, and fucked … Inspired by the legendary French BDSM erotic novel The Story of O, The Upper Floor illustrates real lifestyle BDSM as it is lived by 24/7 slaves and Masters, complete with … explicit sex in bondage, punishment, erotic humiliation, and more.”

The Upper Floor is a project of Kink.com, a thriving pornography business that was founded by Peter Acworth, a British-born entrepreneur and lifelong aficionado of BDSM (for Bondage, Domination, Submission—or Sadism—and Masochism). Kink.com sells subscriptions to websites with names like Hogtied.com, SexandSubmission.com and, yes, TheUpperFloor.com. Acworth often attends these, er, corporate events. “He’s the master of the house,” says colleague John Sander.

Only in Satan’s City by the Bay, right? Not exactly. Acworth was recently invited to speak at a summit on innovation convened by the ever-so-respectable The Economist. That’s right—the king of kink was given a place on the dais alongside a Harvard Business School professor, an Intuit business executive and other decent folk. Whether you view this as the end of civilization or a sign of progress, one thing is sure: a barrier has come down.

BDSM is all over our entertainment media, too. In her latest music video, Christina Aguilera slaps a riding crop against her palm, laps from a cat dish, and sports a rhinestone-studded ball gag. In movies like the 2005 comedy hit The Wedding Crashers and television shows like the self-consciously low-brow mockumentary RENO 911!, kinky scenes are played for laughs.

The lesson, kiddies? BDSM, once viewed as the exclusive fiefdom of really creepy perverts, has crossed over and become quasi-respectable, stylish and safe. Comical, even!

The shifting public perception of BDSM is one of those seeming overnight changes that was centuries in the making. In the late 18th Century, the Marquis de Sade put his profoundly sick-puppy stamp on kink, firmly establishing it as sex play (sex pain, really) between non-consenting adults. A hundred years later, when psychologists started studying this behavior, they found their subjects in insane asylums. “Criminals were their point of reference,” says Denver-based sex therapist Neil Cannon. No wonder, then, that BDSM meant a brute in a basement with an unwilling woman and a whip.

Mistree Eva Says: I personally do not like this trend. I liked it when BDSM was Dark, Mysterious and forbidden. Alas, its still Taboo enough hat you don’t want vanilla friends, family and coworkers knowing that you are into BDSM. If you are not “out”, you still have to be careful with your kinky PICS and your scene names. So its still Taboo on many levels!

“This case has stirred up a shit storm, and the Contra Costa District Attorney’s office is right in the middle of it,” said Gressett’s chief attorney Daniel Russo.

The rape allegations from within Contra Costa County’s District Attorney’s office were bound to make big headlines. Michael Gressett was a 51-year-old deputy district attorney who worked for the sexual assault unit. His alleged victim was a 29-year-old coworker who said Gressett violently assaulted her during a lunch break. The Martinez Police Department’s September 2008 press release was replete with lurid charges like “sodomy,” “forced oral copulation,” and “penetration with a foreign object.” The alleged props — including a gun, handcuffs, steak knife, ice cubes, and an ice pick — seemed plucked from the pages of a Marquis de Sade novel.

Not surprisingly, the story attracted wide attention. The San Francisco Chronicle assigned two reporters and the Contra Costa Times posted a complete copy of the criminal complaint on its web site. Television news joined the fray, and soon Gressett’s face was plastered all across the Bay Area. And no one followed the story more closely than the lawyers and politicians who work for Contra Costa County. So many people have viewed the case file that clerks in the courthouse keep it handy like it was a popular library book. When a reporter asked for the file by its case number, the clerk immediately said, “Oh, you want the Gressett file.”

The veteran prosecutor’s reputation as an office iconoclast only added to the case’s newsworthiness. Gressett has run for the position of Contra Costa County District Attorney three separate times, putting him in disfavor with the old-boy power structure that has controlled the office for decades. After the charges came to light, District Attorney Robert Kochly did what he could to distance his office from Gressett’s alleged behavior. “It’s a sad day for our office for anything like this to occur,” Kochly told the Chronicle. “Anything of this nature is devastating to the office. It’s antithetical to what we’re about.”

After his arrest, Gressett might have been expected to cease being a thorn in management’s side. Once he was released from jail on a $1 million bond, he was promptly fired. He now faces a possible life sentence for thirteen felony counts including rape, forced sodomy, forced oral copulation, and making death threats.

Several weeks ago, I went out to dinner with a female friend. During
dinner I asked her if she had seen Brokeback Mountain yet. She said,
“No, I have no desire to see two men kissing all over each other.” I
asked her if she would be willing to do me a favor and see the movie
anyway. I told her I had a theory and I wanted to see if I was right
about something, so she agreed. We met for lunch after she went to see
the movie. I asked her what she thought – it turns out that she loved
it. I asked her if she was turned off or disgusted by any of the
sexual scenes; she said, “No, surprisingly enough, I wasn’t turned off
by them at all.” I decided to take it a step further. I asked her if
she was turned on by any of the scenes in the movie. Her face turned
red and she said, “I have no idea why, but yes, I was turned on by
them.” This isn’t the first time I’ve heard a woman say that after
having seen the movie. I think I know why women are finding the sexual
scenes in Brokeback Mountain so arousing, but before I explain, let me
digress just a little.

During an interview a radio talk show host brought up the fact that
females aren’t as visual as males. She said that was the reason there
aren’t nearly as many male strip clubs as there are female strip
clubs. As I discussed in Women’s Infidelity, the word “more” creates a
lot of confusion between the sexes. Whenever it has been determined
that one sex is “more” of anything, we fail to remember that the other
sex still has that trait, only to a lesser degree. For example, males
have more hair than females, but that doesn’t mean that females don’t
have hair. Males like more sexual variety than females, but that
doesn’t mean females don’t like sexual variety. Likewise, males may be
more visual than females, but that in no way means that females aren’t
visual. Having said that, I would like to address not only how women
feel about watching men have sex, but also how women feel about male
strip clubs as well as male prostitution.

Heterosexual females are attracted to masculinity. Women don’t get
turned on by watching men act like women. So, going to a strip club
and watching men dance around in what can best be described as bikini
panties is not a turn on for most females. If you want women to pay to
see men, then build a bar with a glass front on a construction site
and you’ll make a fortune. The female animal likes to watch physically
fit men work. If men want to get women’s attention, all they have to
do is take off their shirts and lift something heavy or pick up a
shovel and start digging a hole. Trust me, men would receive the same
kind of attention that they normally give to partially exposed, pushed-
up breasts.

This explains my friend’s arousal during the sexual scenes in
Brokeback Mountain – the sexual scenes were extremely masculine. The
men weren’t caressing and cuddling with each other; the love scenes
were very passionate and aggressive. Passion and aggression are what
arouse the female animal.

Now, on to the issue of male prostitution, someone just recently asked
me, “If women like sex as much as men, why aren’t there more male
prostitutes running around?” Well, I can think of several reasons.
First of all, until recently, women didn’t have any money, so
obviously paying for sex wasn’t an option. Likewise, females
experiencing pleasure from sex is also something that is relatively
new. Prior to 60-65 years ago sex was only thought of as pleasurable
for males; therefore was no information available about how to please
women sexually. Plus, when females did experience sexual pleasure they
were encouraged to hide their pleasure from their partners in order to
make the men feel more secure. However, those reasons aside, there’s
still the undeniable fact that a male has a hard time pleasing just
one female, while a female has the ability to please many males…
although now, Viagra may help to alleviate this problem. (For further
explanation see Women’s Infidelity, Chapter 6: Why Women Find Affair
Sex Particularly Appealing.)
