CityXGuide

CityXGuide.com first opened its doors in 2016. Since then, the forum has been a top destination for adult works all over the world. It gained notoriety after Craigslist shuttered its 'Casual Encounters' section. CityXGuide and similar sites quickly filled the void, giving providers a place to post ads and communicate with people in their area safely. It's definitely worth the visit – especially for those wanting companionship right away.

Roughly every country and its regions are represented

The first thing visitors are going to notice once they hop onto CityXGuide is just how many regions around the world are represented here. It's an incredible number of areas, and no matter where a person lives, they will probably find a region close to them. This is especially true of those living in North America: by far, CityXGuide has the most activity in North America and a few other regions (more on those regions later, though). Just know that as far as the number of areas goes, it's impressive.

I am [a] looking for…

The best place to start when looking for an escort on CityXGuide is to look at the drop-down menus near the search fields. Here, people can choose the gender, what they are looking for, and the city. Visitors can even enter a keyword query in the search field that they can use to find an escort worth pursuing. It’s the perfect option when someone wants to browse an escort by kink or service offered to whittle down the search results. Depending on one’s location, narrowing down the results is probably a good idea.

Lots of categories to browse by

Don’t think for a moment that CityXGuide only offers escort services. Far from it! No matter what kind of adult service a person is searching for, they can usually find something relatively close to what they are looking for. 

When a person is browsing by state/province/region/country whatever the case may be in their neck of the woods, they can browse by the following categories: Adult Jobs, Body Rubs, Domination and Fetish, Male Escorts, Female Escorts, Web Sex, Phone Sex, Strippers, and Transsexual. Keep in mind that these categories can be hard to find at first. They are only available at the top-right of the page after a person clicks the appropriate region to browse by. Once the categories link has been selected, a drop-down menu featuring the categories will appear.

Browse by gallery

When it’s safe to browse by the images of the site rather than a list, select ‘Gallery’ at the top of the page. Visitors will find this next to the ‘Body Rubs’ section (which is exactly what it sounds like). Click ‘Gallery’ Can opt to browse ads by gallery instead of list. Perfect for those that prefer to judge which ad to look at based on the escort’s pictures rather than their descriptions.

When browsing by the gallery, the images look stunning. Sure, not every image is going to look crystal clear and at its best, but the size of every image should be applauded. They are typically large and detailed to the point where it's obvious what the person looks like and what one can expect. It really should not come as a surprise, though. Since escorts are by-and-large competing with one another and the browser's attention, it is in their best interest to post the most detailed and best images possible.

It goes to show the popularity of CityXGuide. There is a certain level of expectation on CityXGuide (and other forums like it). To ensure that escorts get as many views as possible, they have to at least post-top-quality images or risk losing requests. It's suitable for those looking for hot escorts but means that escorts have to do more work to compete. That's fine – competition is a good thing!

Very active forum

It’s one of the most active escort forums on the Web. While it would not be accurate to say that every region is active, many of them are. If you typically find escorts on other forums, you’re going to find roughly the same amount and probably more on CityXGuide. As stated, CityXGuide was one of the forums escorts flocked to after Craigslist closed (and as North Americans can tell you, that was arguably the largest escort forum on the Web). Knowing this, it's no surprise that so many people use CityXGuide as their CL replacement.

Verified escorts labeled

Here is a feature that other escort forums could learn from. As anyone that has even pondered the idea of finding an escort will admit, safety is the top concern for anyone. People don’t only want to feel safe, though. They also want to know that the person they are looking at in each ad is the real deal. Who wants to go through the stress of finally finding someone, reaching out to them, and finding out that their picture looks nothing like who they are in the picture.

That’s why CityXGuide makes it possible to verify escorts. Each verified escort has a green label that either say ‘verified’ or ‘CityXGuide Verified.’ There is no indication what the difference is between the two verifications. What’s important is they show who is authentic, legitimate, and ultimately which escorts a person can trust.

Safe Search option

For those that want to look at escort ads but want to ensure that no one sees the pictures on the side, select Safe Search at the top-right menu of the homepage. Other escort forums should use this option. Even when browsing by list, once an ad has been clicked, all of the images appear. That isn't a bad thing if one is searching within the privacy of their own home, but if they are in public or in a place where someone may be looking over their shoulder, the Safe Search feature is a godsend. It hides every image on the site (even the CityXGuide logo), so anyone that passes by one's screen cannot instantly tell that a person is looking at an escort forum.

Of course, one has to be sure that passerby's or people in the room cannot read the screen. It's evident what kind of site this is, but hiding the pictures thankfully does not give it away. It's the best way to browse an escort forum anywhere while adding a bit of stealth into the mix.

Not popular on every continent

This isn’t exactly the fault of CityXGuide. Not even the forums reviewed on ThePornDudeare popular worldwide, so that’s not a knock on CityXGuide. Still, if there are no entries in a region, CityXGuide probably should not list it. Then again, there could always be an escort that wants to post an ad in any region of the world, so it’s really up to CityXGuide.

It does bear mentioning that CityXGuide is wildly popular in South America and Asian (in addition to North America). Why this is the case is anyone’s guess. Perhaps continents like Europe and Australia have more competition between them.

Most ads are informative

They request and tell precisely what the escort expects from the interested party; likewise, they usually explain what they can expect from services. These ads typically list all of the services offered (including fetishes if applicable), telephone number, age, location, email, and all the details that people need to know to get in touch with the escort. With so much competition among escorts, it is no wonder that many of them are so detailed!

Browse by massage parlors

What if a browser does not want to visit an escort? There is still a reason to visit – especially for those that wish to visit massage parlors. For those that prefer these venues versus an escort, simply click the menu and choose ‘Locale.’ The ads are typically as informative as the escort ads, but if they are not, consider taking a hard pass. A person's safety and security are of the utmost importance, so always go with your gut and instincts before meeting anyone/any place for adult services.

Browse by strip club

Last but not least is the strip club section. For those that want to get their rocks off without running the risk, finding the right strip club is as easy as finding a massage parlor. Select ‘Strip Club’ by clicking the menu and view the closest clubs in the area.

Suggestions:

CityXGuide was an unofficial replacement for Craigslist – at least in North and South America. It's no wonder that so many ads are posted here regularly. The only thing they should consider doing is making inroads to different markets on the continents where they are not as popular. That's entirely up to them, and it's optional.
