Fascinating! I have a morbid curiousity about CL ads. Some are downright hilarious. Thank you for such thorough research!

I can tell you that indeed, people will give you an ungodly amount of info about themselves when they respond to a CL personals ad. Sometimes just for fun (I don’t do CL anymore… or at least, I don’t do people from CL anymore), I would Google them. Astounding.

What I found hilarious are those who told you they were aides to congressmen. It’s just a short step from that to finding out who they work for. If I were a diabolical political operative, I’d start trolling CL to see who I came up with, then if they worked for my enemies… ruin them. I would never DREAM of giving away that kind of information to a complete stranger. Odd what the ‘anonymity’ of the internet does to people’s judgement.

It’s also a wonder that more Republican politicians haven’t been busted looking for down-low gay sex.

Wow. The fact that posing as a straight female got more responses is no surprise. I don’t know. Perhaps girls are just as horny as guys. Maybe they’re just holding it in for society’s sake. Really enlightened me as to just how cheap the sexual act has become.

I know I’m coming late to the party for this one, however, I need tell you that I’m doing a study on your responses alone. They, perhaps more, than anything else yield an absolute wealth of data about who’s out there in the ether. Thanks for the information.

Curiosity (hehehe) got the best of me, and I answered a NY/NJ craigslist ad by a man who only wanted to perform oral on women – no reciprocation, no strings. I used my standard fake email address with fake name, no picture. I asked if he REALLY only wanted to perform oral.

He gave his first name only, had a lewd email address like hot4u, said his wife has a medical condition that ended their sex life, that he loves giving oral, and that he only gives oral because he wants to remain safe while having intimate contact with a woman. He proposed meeting at a motel, said he’d done this once before, and that the woman said the orgasm was the most powerful she’d ever experienced.

I asked something else (I forget now), since I don’t trust strangers. He said he felt I just wanted to exchange a few emails to break the ice. I replied that I was more concerned about my own physical safety meeting a stranger than ice breaking. He responded that my concern was valid. I never answered after that cause I’m scared of Jack the Ripper, or a razor blade in the mouth. Also, I get at least one “I just want to give you oral” proposal every time I go to a bar – I never accept.

Would be nice though…

Dude Simon,

I’m a straight female and I have gotten laid thru CL casual encounters. Yes there were about 200+ replies, but the winner was incredibly hot. And he happened to be a doctor (weird huh).

u can see ppl from the CL thing posting to boost up the site’s rep cuz they write with big letters and respect grammar rules. so basically it just confirms what’s been known allready: banging milfs living 2 blocks away is just a porn movie fantasy for wankers hanging out on these sites. and those of u who “got” dates r prolly just horny pedophiles that wanked to the first paragraph of this post.
