I have a real estate business and this is one of the sites I have used to post my real estate listings. It wasn't a large part of business, but I did get regular leads from the site. I mostly used craigslist, facebook and zillow, but this was a solid 4th place source of leads for me. I'm self employed and these sites are how I make my living. So not all of the users are posting sex ads. I don't like the title calling it a sex marketplace. It makes it sounds like this is the only thing on the website.

I can buy a shirt at Whole Foods. It's still a grocery store.

Ok we took "Sex marketplace" out of the title above.

Is this where sex dungeons are bought and sold? You know, the kind of place you rent on KinkBNB.
