You are guilty of hyperbole.

Those women who answer to his ads know well what they are doing. The pleasure must be mutual, since OP isn't paying.

Per your post, you are addicted to sex a.k.a a sex addict.
By default, you are a very disrespecting person. You cannot help but be, sorry. That is what addicts are.

You are chipping away your own soul and that of countless others per year. Also taking on burdens for yourself I don't feel you should bear. Such as thinking you need to have already had a family or be making more than $10 per hr. If you are doing an honest days work, then you are an upright citizen in that regard sustaining yourself. There is nothing wrong with never marrying or having children. There is nothing wrong with living in poverty. NOTHING at all. There is only something wrong with those who snub their noses at it.

Some people cannot make more than min wage due to invisible disabilities. Sometimes combining jobs is all they can do- meaning taking a job with alot of downtime then working on some other project during that downtime to increase the hourly wage.

To live the way you do.... sampling so many strangers souls per year without any bonding is heart-wrenching. You need to get into a recovery program. Here's a link for groups which might be in your area
http://www.celebraterecovery.com/

You have alot to offer someone if you so choose to head your life into a positive direction. By the way, if you get saved, there will be none of this wordly stuff which lowers your self esteem. Your focus will be right where it should be, as will your peace. You will have much experience in your belt to help others too. You can only go up from here. Blessings to you

Recently, there were laws passed that eliminate protections that web operators from third party content. Its primary intent was to go after Backpage which hosts ads for escort services by allowing prosecutors to hold the operators of backpage liable. Backpage reacted by removing user input content to the ads.... just pictures and phone number.

A lot of escorts were also using casual encounters section of craigslist. So what the OP is seeing might be a side-effect of craigslist making changes to limit its exposure to liability.

Again, unsubstantiated accusatory comments. Addict, possible though I am only acting on natural and human urges as opposed to gambling, drugs etc.

Which brings us to part 2, "disrespecting" which is dependent on your first dubious claim and I still see as false.

Every single person came here of her own free will and engaged in mutually agreed upon activity. Any disrespect is only delusion and fantasy on your part.

Actually I do not want a family. I also never had a problem making $10 an hour (for 33 hours a week, because 40 hours at work is too much for any price) but I do know it means I will have to settle for less of a social life and almost no romantic life because of it. And it's nowhere near enough to live on here.

Actually a side hustle meant to bring in a bit of extra spending money blew up into a few hundred grand but it was very temporary (taking advantage of a few price disparities I discovered) and has no marketable skills. Therefore I never adjusted my lifestyle to actually reflect my newfound fortune.

I would disagree with this for now. The numbers are probably not what you think. Also it's not like I am seeing people every day, or even every week. Which is why making one post total instead of one an hour is seen as incredibly debilitating.

Again, whether true or not I am not really sure if I am interested in offering anyone anything at this time.

Oh, absolutely.

And the best part, especially around 2009-2012-ish were all the not really professional hookers just looking to make some extra spending money.

This dropped off a bit when they started anonymizing emails, it made it harder for people to vet each other with any visible contact info.

And I also suspect that all the scam and bot activity related to sex ads accounts for upwards of 95% of Craigslist's web traffic. A lot of the wording in the new Terms Of Service seemed to address this ("You may not load more than a thousand pages per day" etc)

^^^^ OP is calling himself "an avid pornosseur", and I don't think he wants to be helped... or converted.

That is sad. He will loose his looks and will get to the point where he find it so difficult to find someone to hook up with. Plus getting STDs some which are not curable. Women will never get to truly know the real him either.
