Professional companionship, prostitution, escort services…these are all terms that have been put upon so-called “pay-to-play” dating, where one party accepts financial compensation for providing physical, and sexual enjoyment, often alongside more traditional companionship.
Often referred to as the “World’s Oldest Profession,” professional companionship has been legalized in many countries across the world, making it more socially acceptable nowadays in the world at large. And, just like any marketable skill, professionals are looking for the latest and greatest means of spreading their “talents.”
Due to this need, several websites have sprung up over the last 20 years, all offering variations on “physical” services, many of which offer little or no real value. Due to these frustrations, we decided to craft a list comprised of some of the better-known escort sites.
Every Escort Site Worth Knowing About In 2024
While it must be stated for the record that we in no way condone or encourage individuals to engage in illicit or illegal activities, it’s up to you, the reader, to read and understand the laws laid out by your state.
That being said, let’s start our search for the perfect escort site.
1) Craigslist.org
Strangely the most popular site on this list isn’t even strictly a dating or hookup platform, but is rather a jack-of-all-trades, is Craigslist. Yes, the very same Craigslist that you were probably on last night looking for antique furniture or trying to sell your car.
Craigslist has, almost since its very inception, hosted personal ads. These ads held categories like “strictly platonic,” “women seeking women,” and “women seeking men,” just to name a few. These were originally parts of a thriving online community, one that fostered all sorts of sexual expression, whether that be kink, gender-bending, or any other sort of fetish.
But, like all good things, the end must eventually occur, and this is what happened with Craigslist’s ads. As these ads were frequently seen, and the connections were being made locally, it was only a matter of time before sex workers began using the website to market their, erm…wares.
This didn’t sit well with site owners, but it upset Federal lawmakers even more, with the U.S. Senate eventually passing a couple of bills that were meant to end or disable online sex trafficking. These bills pretty much forced the site to shut down its personal ads section, eliminating a resource for hundreds of thousands of swingers and singles looking for escort services. So, now that our number one pick has been disabled, what are your options? Read on!
2) Rubmaps.com
Rubmaps is a site that offers escort services under the guise of a so-called “massage parlor.” This is because these services aren’t legalized countrywide, so solicitors often have to be discreet about what they provide.
The site markets its services in a fashion that they’d describe as similar to the popular review site Yelp, crowdsourcing their reviews and putting up a score for these parlors, to get folks the services they need, regardless of the opinions of others. Read this before using Rubmaps.com though.
The site has been in constant operation since mid-2010 and has an extensive page for their Terms of Service that I recommend you read, as the services you’re looking for may not be legal in your region. And if you’re just looking for a massage, we’d advise against anything with the name “Happy Ending.”
3) Thedirty.com
This site is a bit different from the others on this list, as its original function tended to be more of a low-level celebrity gossip column than a site for finding escorts. Run by notorious photo leaker Nik Richie, The Dirty is all about posting nude or risque images of fellow individuals. While celebrity appearances do occur here, the site is more about “common folks.”
This is why it eventually began playing a part, albeit inadvertently, in helping to solicit escort services. The website began to be used in part by sex professionals, who realized that The Dirty was a readily available public forum where they could market themselves in the nude.
Despite the court cases and controversy that has surrounded the site for roughly a decade, The Dirty has managed to remain online and is still used for escort services to this very day.
4) P411
So, as we’ve stated above, the legality of this practice differs from state to state. Because of this fact, many escort sites have to offer a different array of services to stay within the law. P411 has found an interesting way around this problem by offering what they refer to as a “screening & verification” service for both “clients & companions.”
Their services are only accessible after an identity check and an accepted form of payment, so make sure to come prepared if you’re looking to try P411 out for yourself. The women offered on the site tend to be well-vetted, with many of them boasting professional photosets and legitimate-looking personal websites.
As with most of these sites, do your due diligence and check out their fine print before signing up or looking for companions in your area.
5) Eroticreview.com
Finally, we have Erotic Review. A website that has now been in operation for just over two decades. Originally started by entrepreneur David Elms, Erotic Review was a site that aimed to post honest reviews of real sex workers, in the hopes of helping individuals avoid unsavory, dangerous, or otherwise off-putting situations regarding professional companions.
While recent legislation has been passed in the battle against sex trafficking in the United States, the Erotic Review has managed to stay alive by blocking its web services from the U.S. and keeping all of its web hosting overseas. People looking to use the sites from the States can access the site either via a VPN or by using its Dark Web variant.
Conclusion
If you’re noticing a trend in this list, that’s no coincidence. Sex work is still a grey area in the United States and may continue to be for some time. We make no judgment about what individuals wish to do with their bodies and in their states, and only with the best of our readers.
If professional companionship is what you choose, we hope this list helps. Be safe out there.
My advice is to check out the mega list of dating sites before using any escort sites – FYI.
