Craigslist, the online classified ads service, is dropping its “erotic services” listings after increased pressure from lawmakers.

The company will replace the ads in seven days with a new adult-oriented category that will be reviewed and screened by company employees.

Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster, who recently stated he didn’t believe that the erotic service ads were “sex related,” was unavailable for comment.

Craigslist CEO in denial over sex ads

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

BOSTON - In what has to be one of the most comical statements ever issued by a CEO, Craigslist.org’s chief executive Jim Buckmaster denied that the classified ad website offers sexually-related ads.

You can bet if you're ordering hookers on Craigslist, they probably don't look like this.

Responding to an e-mail query by the Boston Globe, Buckmaster wrote, “I would not describe any section of our site as ’sex related.’”

Buckmaster did admit that there was an “erotic services” section on the site, however.

The Globe pointed out that yesterday afternoon, there were at least 150 sexually-explicit ads in the Boston area’s erotic services section.
