Adult Services Site News Page

Welcome to the Adult Services Site News page where we post site news and relevant Adult Industry News.

October 2024

Site News

The site move to a new domain – Adult.Services has been delayed temporarily due to financial cutbacks and difficulties converting the site to a new format.

SA Decrim Bill

The SA decrim bill is still awaiting parlimentary approval, it seems the S.A. Govt is more concerned with messing up the national health and education systems, renaming streets after terrorists and squabbling with GNU partners while water shortages cripple the countries economic hub.

A new Adult social media site

A new Adult social media site created in South Africa has been launched without the restrictions found on Social Media sites.

“Join and break free from censorship! An alternative to censorship-heavy platforms like Meta, Twitter and Tiktok. Uncensored and Safe: Other platforms have moved towards censorship and restrict adult entertainers and content. WHAT EVER YOU POST HERE, YOU CAN POST MORE, FOLLOW MORE.”

June 2024

Site News

The site will be moving to a new domain – Adult.Services in the next few months.
The current domain is years old and doesn’t align with the content of the site, many Massage, Erotica, Adult Orgs etc complained that it only benefitted the escort industry and was too drawn out.

We are currently re-designing the site to include new features, improve SEO, and remove some of the bugs on the site, while waiting for decrim and sourcing “Adult friendly” payment gateways.
Onward and upward!

Another AV provider busted

The Israel-based company called AU10TIX verifies the identities of TikTok, Uber, and X users exposed a set of administrative credentials online for more than a year potentially allowing hackers to access users personal and sensitive data.
Our suspicions of the “AV Industry” and it’s true intentions only grow bigger.

South African Elections

South Africa held elections this month and…. nothing’s changed.
South Africa has serious financial, corruption, employment, discrimination and racial hatred problems, some of which spilled out onto social media this month.
We apologise for the vile comments made by South African politicians, this is what we have been dealing with for the last 30yrs and there’s no decency in sight – Yet.
Imagine politicians talking like this and then complaining that people say “bad words” in retaliation, as well as accusing them of being racist 🧏‍♀️

May 2024

New Members

Memberships and profiles continue to increase despite Google de-ranking pages every time they become popular.
The ratio of members to profiles is currently around 5-1, unfortunately many of the major cities are still lacking profiles.
The numbers of scammers is also on the increase, we can usually spot them by the way they fill in the registration form (sounds familiar 🤣).
We will no longer be accepting profiles from Weebly or Milkshake – sofar not one has measured up to the “authenticity test”.

Belgium

One of only two countries in the world with decrim (other is New Zealand), Belgium has passed a new labor law for Sex Workers.

The first labor law for sex workers was approved by the Belgian federal Parliament by a large majority.
This is an major milestone in the fight for equal rights for Belgian Sex Workers.
Parliament voted with 93 votes in favor, 33 abstentions and 0 votes against.

Queensland, Australia

The state of Queensland has just passed a decrim bill for Sex Workers.
It will be interesting to see how this affects Banks in Australia as each state has different rules, and whether other states will follow suite.
If the South African decrim bill fails we will seriously consider moving the site back to Surfers Paradise 👍

April 2024

2024 – The war on porn hots up in the U.S.A.

It’s election year again in South Africa and in the U.S.A.
While South Africa is moving (slowly) toward Sex Worker decrim following National Elections in May 2024.
Politicians in the U.S.A. have embarked on “anti-porn” campaigns in an effort to sway voters, even “the Donald” has his own anti-porn agenda (Project 2025) which reads like “If you can’t shag them – Lock them up!”.
Teachers & Librarians are to be listed as sex offenders, anyone working in the Adult Industry is to be locked up – no kidding!

American States are now passing new “age verification” bills daily – It’s not possible to keep up with or document them all, go to https://thewaronporn.com/ to see the latest developments.

Mike Stabile of the Free Speech Coalition (FSC) says –

“If we want to keep a free internet with as little surveillance as possible, we have to collectively fight laws that force identity verification. Because first they came for sex workers, then for adult sites, and now they’re coming for Reddit, X, Google and Wikipedia.”

The FSC is seeking volunteers to assist with crucial tasks like contacting legislators, testifying at hearings, and spreading awareness about their vital work.
Your voice matters!

New Members

Memberships are slowly increasing – in spurts (scuze the pun) and we’re slowly advancing up the ranks on google.
VIP membership is free until we have more numbers and an idea of what future laws we need to abide by, Texans shouldn’t use the site, but as there isn’t any actual porn….

Providers are encouraged to share their profiles and get their clients onto a pro-SW platform BEFORE age verification becomes mandatory.

SW Banking

Mastercard put into effect a new policy regulating adult content sellers that makes it extremely hard for sex workers to earn a living online. It must be stopped.

The Free Speech Coalition is exploring a new response to the financial discrimination this industry has suffered for decades – opening a federal credit union!

“In order to be granted a charter, we’re required to survey prospective credit union members and show that there’s enough support to make the project a success.”

April Monthly Winner

This month’s winner of a complete monthly upgrade package is “Pearl” (redacted).
Congratulations, your attempts to promote the site on social media as well as being one of the founder members were noted.
Your Homepage listing, Featured listing & Sponsored listing has been enabled for the rest of March.

Edit 24/04: “Pearl” deleted her account on 23 April which led to a lot of 404 errors and angry clients.

As a result we will have to abandon the monthly prize!

Disgraced Porn Star Ron Jeremy’s 34 Criminal Counts Have Officially Been Dismissed

“California Penal Code 1385 permits courts to dismiss a criminal charge in the furtherance of justice.”
All 34 criminal counts have been officially dismissed, Ron Jeremy (Ronald Jeremy Hyatt) was released from jail in November 2023, in March 2024 a conservatorship was filed as he is no longer competent to stand trial.

March 2024

New Members

Welcome to all our new members from Canada, USA, UK, Philipines, NZ, Australia and South Africa.
We hope you are happy with your new profiles, sofar the feedback has been very positive.
Let us know if we can help or make changes to the site.

Profile Updates

Please update your profiles, we have made major changes to the fields on the profile pages.

Many new fields have been added, while the Email, Banking and Telephone number fields have been removed as they were open to abuse by Scraper Bots, Scammers and Hackers.

Client messages are routed to your (hidden) email address as well as being available on your site member panel where you have the ability to block TW’s.
Those wishing to display their Email, Banking or Contact numbers are still welcome to do so in their bio, contact info or conditions etc fields.

Site Links

Members are not updating their link sites or personal sites and also not mentioning the site on social media, this does nothing for site growth and/or increasing your profile exposure, we are looking into other ways to increase site exposure/reach.

Update your LinkTree – We see a LOT of traffic from LinkTree, if your listing isn’t on your LinkTree you are losing out on viewers and potential clients. Members who have included their links typically see 3-400% more hits.

One would think providers would appreciate a free service tailored to the specific needs of providers and help promote it?
Some Likes, RT’s and Shares on Social media would also be greatly appreciated, unfortunately we are unable to RT “suggestive” posts for fear of losing yet another account.
ALL IT TAKES – IS ALL OF US!

March Monthly Winner

This month’s winner of a complete monthly upgrade package is Matt Logan.
Congratulations Matt, your attempts to promote the site on social media as well as being one of the founder members were noted.
Your Homepage listing, Featured listing & Sponsored listing has been enabled for the rest of March.

Site Pricing

We have made client VIP subscription free until such time as member numbers increase and new laws come into effect.

Subscribers are not yet prepared to pay (or verify) for sites which offer peace of mind ahead of looming age verification and porn bills being submitted in the USA and EU.

Americans are slowly losing their battle for online privacy with more and more states introducing AV (Age Verification) and anti Porn laws each month. The states in blue have recently introduced “Child Protection” (lol) laws and those in dark gray are in the process of doing so, while blatantly ignoring the fact that child control measures are already in place on all genuine Adult sites (See Parental Controls below).

Donald Trump’s “Project 2025” plan was recently leaked – In a nutshell he plans to ban Porn and lock up anybody remotely connected to the Adult Industry should he be re-elected (Talk about hypocracy?). Conservatives have similar plans in place.

All EU sites are now bound by GDPR to collect Private Info (PI) & biometrics, and are required to retain your PI for 4 years AFTER you cancel your membership (Big brother in the guise of privacy protection?), which is an awfully long time for your PI to be hacked online (a la Ashley Maddison).

Adult Services List members are protected by POPIA Privacy Law (We cannot store PI by law) and awaiting our Decrim Bill, pending the outcome of South African National Elections in May 2024.

Social Media/Sites

Xpurity – We are no longer on Xpurity since they monetized their site last month – there simply wasn’t enough members to warrant the membership fees or time spent on the site, plus the site is currently swamped with Christofascists, NFT Bro’s and dodgy scammer “Account Sellers”.

Sharesome – We applied for membership and were rejected on the grounds of “conflict of interest”,
(Our site was developed to promote our members AND the sites they use?) I wonder what they are so afraid of?

BMYFAN – Once again a “conflict of interest” was cited as the reason for membership/affiliate refusal.
(We did offer to help promote their streaming site).

You can find us on:

Xwitter – twitter.com/SWers_list
Xwitter continues to shadowban our page/posts, cracking open the champagne every time a post gets 10 views/2 likes is not the way forward.
Daily “robot tests” are more than annoying and insulting, esp considering a survey of our (400) followers revealed that around 30% are suspected bots trying to entice followers into blindly following them (4000+ following & 3 followers?).

Our last account was revoked without explanation – if you can see a valid reason for revoking this account, please let us know.

BlueSky – bsky.app/profile/adultservices.bsky.social
Membership is now open to the public and is free, there is no verification process at present.
The site is crickets atm, it seems that not being able to DM or post video clips does not sit well with the Adult Industry.
But with current developments at Xwitter, IG etc (unexplained SB’s, Bans, Bots, Revoking) I encourage you to start creating accounts and marketing elsewhere “Adult” while moving your audience – asap!

edit 1 May – BlueSky began filtering “Adult” posts, this has resulted in a major drop in views, followers and interactions, we followed 500+ profiles and nobody is posting anymore.
With no video or DM’s, filtering posts – it is doubtful the platform has a future for #SW.

Fetlife – fetlife.com/users/17621397
Fetlife works in groups, as we are not in any specific group I don’t see how we can take advange of using Fetlife.

Reddit – reddit.com/user/Adult_Services_List/
As with Fetlife, figuring out how to market the site on Reddit groups is going to be a major challenge.
There seems to be a HUGE problem with “r/client” groups consisting of thousands of “adolescents?”, uninformed “mansplainers”, “hobbyists” etc spreading lies and deliberately misleading their peers about the Adult Industry and it’s providers?
We are banned from several groups already 🤣

KinQ – kinq.app/ref/swers_list
KinQ is a UK based Adult social media site very similar to Sharesome. The site is hosted in USA (a worry😱) and it is monetized.
Members must verify and subscribe, but you are able to earn from your clips/posts.
We have applied for affiliate membership only, as our site is not a creator/provider.

Facegram – https://www.facegram.co.za/JKay

An alternative to censorship-heavy platforms like Meta, Twitter and Tiktok.

Site Currency Switcher

The site currency switcher has been deactivated as it was confusing users and not converting Bitcoin properly. Currencies like Bitcoin and ZAR are simply too volatile to keep track of (and too many 000’s).
The site now works in USD ($), which is globally accepted, profiles are encouraged to list their rates in their local currency to avoid confusion.

Google Search

We have had endless SEO problems with the site on Google Search – because it does not “fit” with conventional Google SERP, AND they keep adjusting their algorythms to exclude/SB “Adult content sites”.

Google search focus is on local business and uses AI to analyze websites for “useful”, “local” content.
Unfortunately AI is only as good as it’s creator and obviously the creators have no clue how a comprehensive Adult site would work.

We have revised the site SEO several times, and will continue to do so until Google search finally accepts us for what we are, the best site to find all Adult Entertainment/Services worldwide.

Porn Hub

Porn Hub has released a statement saying that from April 2024 creators will be monetized on a “tier system”, evaluated every 3 months – creators will no longer be treated or paid equally.
(Some animals are more equal than other animals – G. Orwell)

Only clips over 7 minutes long will be monetized in future.
Accounts will be demonetized if they fail to upload at least one 7 minute video every 6 months.
This is terrible news for anyone who wished to retire and still earn money from clip royalties.

I believe this is in line with PornHub reducing their content and hit rate to meet EU DSA “very large site” requirements and avoid having to Age Verify clients (See next paragraph below).

The EU Digital Services Act is under fire

Porn Hub, XVideos and Stripchat are suing the EU over it’s enforcement of the Digital Services Act (DSA).
These three platforms are forced to subject visitors to risky age-verification biometric protocols under GDPR & DSA.
In reality this means that very large, legal sites are punished (most users refuse to age-verify), while encouraging illegal sites to flourish.
This is the opposite of what any of us should want, illegal sites don’t remove pirated content, CSAM or revenge porn. It’s no coincidence that the people pushing for these laws also often want the entire industry to be made illegal.
According to the DSA a very large site is defined by having 45 million or more hits per month, Porn Hub claims their hit rate is only 32 million hits per month, and may also be why they have introduced their new tier system enforcing longer clips and less hits on the site.

SWEAT RSA

SWEAT RSA has new offices at 9 Stanley Road, Observatory, Cape Town.
South African Sex workers can contact them on 0800606060 or 071 357 7632 for assistance or for an appointment.
Visit their website at https://www.sweat.org.za/

Stripe cancels Wishtender & LinkTree

Stripe has cancelled their partnership with Wishtender which left a lot of sex workers without a payment processor, at the time of writing Wishtender is looking for a new processor.

Stripe has also begun analysing LinkTree pages and cancelling accounts, if you use LinkTree and Stripe please remove it from your LinkTree ASAP!

Fun fact – 3yrs ago when I began setting up this site there was a sister site advertising household services and local business called Hire A Pro. Stripe cancelled that account saying that it was a porn site and never even bothered to look at the site.

Advertising

We’d like to welcome the following affiliate advertising partners –

Coinpayments.net – a UK based bitcoin payment provider, used by Adult Services and contains all of the current COIN options.
You are able to convert COIN into any format you choose as well as create a COIN wallet.
Unfortunately they do now require biometric verification due to GDPR and new banking regulations worldwide.

Greengeeks Hosting – an “Adult friendly” webhosting service with distributed servers in Holland, Singapore and the USA for best worldwide coverage.
Their Pricing is among the best we have encountered, Service, Speed (SSD Lightspeed servers) and Uptime is THE BEST we have dealt with the past 24 months. (This site was formerly with WP.com, HostGator, then GoDaddy – none of which we can recommend).
Greengeeks is also eco friendly which is an added bonus.

Boxes of Fun – a UK based Adult online store, click on their logo to check out their massive inventory of Adult Toys, Accessories and Games.

Parental Controls

We have now installed RTA Parental Control on the site as well as a blog on how to impliment parent controls on most Devices, ISP’s, Browsers etc.

Stay Safe!
