Where can Adult #SW providers list their personas for free?
Adult Services List is a free directory for Sex Workers and Adult Industry providers, created and run by retired Sex Workers in Cape Town, South Africa. In all the years of advertising we could never understand why providers made escort sites rich while millions of entitled customers (and kids) had free access, without any form of age verification or control.
Here in South Africa it is estimated that the average sex worker supports 3 – 9 people financially and is very often the only breadwinner in the family. We aim to improve the lives of all SW’ers by providing a free service, verifying providers and clients and blocking out those with bad intentions.
Is sex work legal in South Africa?
Sex work is NOT currently legal in South Africa, however a decrim bill has been approved in principle and is currently under revision as it did not not pass constitutional muster. The redrafted Bill is centered on the protection of sex workers, alignment with the Constitution & existing labour laws. Read here for more info.
This follows revised laws legalizing Gay Marraige, Abortion, Pornography, Marijuana use, Affirmative Action, Black Empowerment, Squatters Rights (to name a few) in recent years.
How do I join Adult Services?
We have 2 types of members –
1. Free Listings (#SW in 20 categories).
2. Public (VIP) members.
In order to access the site the public must register (VIP’s), this allows you access to our listings and 400 messages per year. VIP’s may also send gifts, likes and favourite the listed members.
This is necessary to keep kids, spammers, fanatics, LE etc away from our site.
Listed members may advertise their services free of charge, you are entitled to say/upload whatever you want, receive unlimited messages, and list in as many categories as you like.
How do I become verified on Adult Services List?
If you already have SM prescence, a personal website, persona listings etc we will check and confirm that you are established and have an established following. We also contact you via your sites or SM to confirm you are who you say you are.
This also means that even if your profile is hijacked and the email, tel nr etc changed you can still get it back by contacting us.
Your Duo partners are automatically verified by your profile – because you “vouch” for them.
Scammers, catfish, LE have a hard time doing the above and it’s obvious when they try. See this classic example who tried to get access on the site –

What if I’m new and have no links?
We suggest you create a SM profile for your persona, a personal website, verified listings etc and start interacting with your followers asap.
What is the difference between username and display name?
Display name = Persona/Business name (public).
User name = Any random name (private).
Do not use the same name for both as hackers can see your display name and guess your password.
Use passwords more than 8 characters with capitals, numbers and special characters if you don’t want to be hacked.
Must I use my real name and address?
No – Use any name and a location near to where you operate your business. The maps are for general location only. The less we know about you – the better.
Businesses (Clubs/Shops/Agencies/Orgs etc) may use an exact address.

What uploads are NOT allowed on Adult Services List?
Pics and videos containing any of the following will be deleted from the site –
1st picture containing nudity or sexual acts (these can be seen by the public (kids) on some pages).

If a pic looks under age it will be deleted, you will be asked to verify your age.
Who does Adult Services List share my info with?

What pics do I need for my profile?
Upload your best PORTRAIT photos for maximum results.
You can resize and crop images after you’ve uploaded them.
The optimal PORTRAIT image size is 600×800 pixels. Try to keep the size below 300kb or your pics will take a long time to load on slow wi-fi and customers will get bored and go somewhere else.
Your profile will not go live until you upload at least one pic – BE WARNED!
Can I use fake/stock/AI photo’s?
No – You risk being banned from this site. We take a very dim view of Fraud, Identity theft, Lying, Stealing etc.
Using others pics/vids is identity theft, copyright infingement and misrepresentation to your customers.

Each profile is allowed 8 pictures and 1 video.
The video is intended to be a promo only for YOUR business.
Your pics and videos CANNOT be downloaded from this site, but they can be photographed or screen captured.
I registered but I can’t find my profile?
Your 1st profile can be found on your member dashboard under Profiles – 0 Profiles – Pending profile.
Listings must be approved before they will go live, fill in as much info as possible to make the verification process easier, we may contact you via one of your social media accounts to verify your profile or you can contact us via the site or social media.
Once your listing is live you may create further profiles for other services, your duo’s, other cities etc. Duo’s will automatically be verified by your listing, be sure to only list those people you trust.

2) Eliminate spammers & scammers
3) Eliminate kids, LE & priests.
4) Eliminate TW’s and provide the best customers for our verified listings.
What do I do if people demand deposits?
This is common nowdays – Providers are wary of “fantasy bookers” and we only allow listing from providers with a proven backround to give clients peace of mind.
Those listings without a “Verified” label do have a limited social media presence, but we are unable to vouch for them and they should be approached with caution.
How do I reset my account password?
You can do this from the login screen or from your member console.
My picture/video has disappeared, why?
Either it was deleted for failing to adhere to the rules (What uploads are NOT allowed?), or it was “lost” when then the system tried to create other formats, ie .webp, or smaller mobile versions.
It does sometimes happen unfortunately.
