Some people in local BCN forum fear the government will block everything including their forum, but I have doubts. I read those websites went down because of technical reasons. Like I said before the PSOE adapted woke ideology from overseas (mainly from USA) and try to impose it on Spain. It's not the same party that decriminalized prostitution back in mid 1990's. Why they became woke I don't know. Perhaps they want to re-imagine the party to fit the 21st century. Or want to appease the feminist lobbyists. There are people who can answer better. They tried to ban prostitution earlier, but it never happened. With the fragile government they have (their partners are pro-separtist parties who support prostitution) it's going to very difficult to try again.

Well now I am using Opera with their built in VPN to access nuevoloquo and destacamos. Which is unfucking believable, is this fucking North Korea?

How fucking stupid of this government. Instead of tax it, make it legal, give the girls healthcare and retirement. They push it underground where it's GOING TO HAPPEN ANYWAY.

Attached is an image of the recommended VPNs to use to access the sites. Was incredibly easy to use Opera and their free VPN so hopefully it doesn't turn away too many girls.

What are everyone's thoughts on them passing legislation to make it 100% illegal?

You're quite correct. My bad. Looking it up, the eurogirlsescort.com domain is registered to an address in Praha, Czech Republic. Similar to Pasion.com, which was registered to a Paris, France address.

The problem with advertising is not necessarily the domicile of the site but monetising the service that pays for it. As Internationalsexguide found out when the card companies (Visa / Mastercard / Amex) withdrew its money transmission facilities. It's likely what did for Pasion. Pasion largely relied on its advertisers paying cash for their adverts via ATM machines & no doubt the Spanish banks withdrew the facility. But like ISG, the amounts of money involved would be trivial. But neither the banks nor the card companies are likely to defund the entirety of the world's sex industry to appease a few Spanish politicians. The turnovers are in hundreds of billions. The profits for the companies in billions. So the answer to Spanish puta advertising is don't advertise from Spain but from somewhere else. Of course there's always the problem of regional domain blocking by the ISPs. But that's what VPNs were invented for.

I bet the people who owns those websites are strongly "connected".

Funny thing is that prostitution is completely illegal in Lithuania.

After making the previous post it occurred that probably the best advertising platforms for girls in Spain would be sites that aren't registered in Spain & labouring under Spanish restrictions. Eurogirls I've already mentioned. I think that's registered in Lithuania & carries full body naked photos & lists services. That does attract some of the high end girls so be prepared for eye watering prices. Although more devious amongst us will the same girls advertising on Destacamos, sometimes with different names & phone numbers, at lower prices. So we know which number to contact, don't we? Another & much neglected site is the Spanish section of the UK's Adultwork. Currently infested with Brit women of often advanced years asking ridiculous rates. A mug trap for the uninformed. Adultwork does have some stiff validation requirements for advertisers & customer feedback which would be a challenge to girls who are accustomed to the Spanish practises of lying & false photos but is why it's become the UK's go to prossie resource.

And lastly, there is this site's Classified Adverts. Which could have enormous potential. I did, some years ago, put an advert for a girl in that section & she received a veritable deluge of enquiries & clients off the back of it. I had another couple of girls I wanted to place ads for. They can't do it for themselves because they can't handle doing the registration in English. Both attempts were blocked by the site itself. Why? Two guesses. Either the repeated use of the same IP address or a cookie was tripping a spam filter. Or using separate e-mail account registrations but carried on the same domain was doing the same. Since I would have had to manage the adverts on their behalf I was using e-mail accounts generated out of a web domain I own, where I have easy access to them as administrator, rather than having to repeatedly log in & out of multiple gmail accounts & all the problems that can cause. Maybe this board's Administration could supply some input. It does seem a shame that what could be a valuable resource of information, ISG's Classified Ads / Spain, gets so little use. Especially as the advantages of paid membership for advertisers would generate site income. If it was successful, it would be possible to leverage up to full paid for banner ads linking to an external site. As we are having to cope with, there is currently a considerable advertising deficit for punters visiting Spain. The girls would certainly benefit from it.

Funny thing is that prostitution is completely illegal in Lithuania. Escort-Advisor is more popular in Italy than Spain. As for the advertising ban I think what working girls and the groups that represent them should do next is try to lobby to get the advertising ban repealed or take it to their Supreme Court. The PSOE is still in power for now, but they don't control the senate and they are the mercy of the pro-separatist groups, who support prostitution.

Actually pretty torn up about Slumi being down. I would also like a list of providers too. This sucks, the websites with ads, prices, and filters were the most convenient. Is this temporary? Why the fuck is the left wing of Spain of all parties so adamant about shutting down prostitution? And the right wing is for it? Makes no god damn sense.

Slumi isn't down. It renamed itself Scompi.com with a new domain & the Slumi landing page had been redirecting there for a while. Looks like the Slumi domain came up for renewal & they didn't bother about paying the 80. That said, Scompi hasn't been particularly popular with the xicas & the number of girls advertising in my locality has dropped from a couple dozen to five. Loquosex.com would be a far better site for them. As it permits listing of services. But not many are using that, either. And not many are using Eurogirls, although more than Scompi. For the girls, it'll always be the ease of placing the adds which will be the criteria the popularity a site will depend on. Most of them aren't very bright & don't learn easily. The very simple Pasion tested a lot of their abilities. Destacamos seems to have the closest registration procedure to Pasion's, so that's what most seem to have have opted for. Despite it probably being the worst platform for what they want to market.

Of course the best site to find them is https://es-es.escort-advisor.com, the review site. And if some punter puts a review they can add their own message, photos & services offered. Unfortunately, the girls themselves tend to be shy of review sites because of the possibility of getting a poor review. They'd actually have to reliably do what they're promising. And as we all have learnt to our cost, a lot of them don't.

The Spanish left basically adapted SJW / woke ideology from the Anglo countries, mainly those from US.

Nuevoloquo completely shut down for me now, here is the page I get when going there.

Do we have a list of sites that we can still access from inside Spain? I'm mostly really worried about sexomercadobcn and now destacamos is the only other major one I can still go to.

I found this link in the local BCN forum:https://www.noroestemadrid.com/2023/...rre-en-verdad/.

[BaltiX]

From what I read it seems to be a personal crusade from Ministry of Consumer Affairs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minist...sumer_Affairs_(Spain) to fine or shut down some of those websites. Why they waited until 1 year after they passed restrictions on advertising to enforce I don't know. It's probably just temporary, but you know never know with politics.

[Jon32]

Looks like the government has started to block websites? Some ISPs are blocking access (because of governmental notice). Following along in another forum, but for example nuevoloquo does not work for me anymore, slumi blocked and destacamos has a big notice on the top.

Yeah sure, we might figure out how to bypass this (with vpns) but no way the average girl is going to go through all this bullshit.

Fuck Spain for this BS

I could be wrong, but it looks like prostitution isn't an important topic anymore in Spanish politics..

Of course you're entirely correct. And it never was. It was the result of pressure groups with particular interests. Few of them aligning with the welfare of those in the industry. It just happens (ed) to be one of those things that if you ask a member of the public "are you in favour / against this / that " in the correct way you can usually rely on getting the answer suits your purpose. So you can then start talking about "popular support" and you're away.

Problems with fake photos and false advertising of services is a problem that's been going on for a long time regardless of legislature.

Oh for sure. Nature of the game. But it was easier to spot the false ones if you're accustomed to reading them. Clues like two different girls' body shots being used for one girl's ad. Common one. Harder now because there's less information in both pics & text.
