Can you explain how you used the redbook site? Did you find sex workers through paid ads or classifieds? Did you rely on reviews of other customers?
If you had a bad experience or if the services weren't as described, did you use redbook to resolve the dispute?
Have you hired sexual services the old-fashioned way, at a brothel, massage parlor, or by picking up someone on the street? If so, how would you compare to the redbook experience?
Was there any indication that the sex workers you met were trafficked, or that they were 100% independent?
Did you participate in redbook discussions on health, legal or political matters, or were you primarily interested in finding suitable partners?
Thanks for posting here, and for answering questions!
I would typically find escorts at the last minute, so I can't speak for what it's like to plan ahead. I'd first search the classifieds for women offering incall (I go to their place, usually a hotel) in San Francisco. Next, I scroll through the ads, only reading ads that have reviews & pictures, looking for the right escort at the right price. When I find an ad the looms promising, I double check the reviews to make sure they aren't horrible, and I also use Google to search for fake images. If everything looks good, I try to contact the escort to book an appointment.
I never wrote reviews on myredbook.
When I visited Australia a few years ago, I visited a legal brothel. All of my of purchases for sexual services were started online. Purchasing sex in Australia was pretty interesting, but I that was the novelty of the legality of the purchase.
I am pretty sure most sex workers were independent, but I have no way of verifying this.
I did not participate in discussions on myredbook.
