I completely agree and have written on that subject myself.<br /><br />Besides the possible vulgar descriptions of private time, it's the legal issue that continues to stick out in my mind. We have enough working against us and reviews have been used in the past to "seal the deal", though for the prosecuting State, not for a client. Reviews are good for inanimate objects, not for people.Claudia Christophehttp://theclaudiachronicles.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008611062418255110.post-51056010392404480592012-02-24T16:19:57.167-08:002012-02-24T16:19:57.167-08:00There's a discussion here http://www.theerotic...There's a discussion here http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion_boards/viewmsg.asp?MessageID=275836&boardID=1&page=1Lacey Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01347481106471558589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008611062418255110.post-16291379698157492112012-01-28T23:11:32.897-08:002012-01-28T23:11:32.897-08:00Lacey, Reviews are for critics.

My experience with people who "review" is that many harbor hidden agendas and unreasonable expectations. By subjecting yourself to this sort of criticism, you lend credence to someone who doesn't necessarily have the skills to be an objective reviewer. Someone else said it. Your own words are your own best review. Smart, sexy, and an insight into your own values and thoughts.

Whilst I may 'use' reviews I would never book a girl on the basis of them. Instead, I only ever meet a girl who tries to set out her thoughts on blogs or wherever. Then you feel as if you 'know' her a tiny bit before you make the call.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008611062418255110.post-90932302380970386362011-10-30T08:09:39.272-07:002011-10-30T08:09:39.272-07:00Having this type of blog is better than a review f...Having this type of blog is better than a review for me. I see how you think, what you're all about, etc. Are reading reviews interesting? Sure. Do they help a hobbyist feel more comfortable when seeing someone new? Of course. These things don't help me know how I'm going to connect with someone however to the extent of things like this blog. It also turns me on to know that a provider doesn't want every detail posted about their encounters and is seriously concerned about safety and discretion. I definitely want to see you more now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008611062418255110.post-30503332811573324632011-10-24T09:20:30.852-07:002011-10-24T09:20:30.852-07:00I think you are the shit.

To providers who dislike the review system, you show that there is a whole world of business beyond the average hobby-ist and the sites that cater to them. Hobbyists are one portion of the market, not the ONLY market. Providing is one of the few unregulated businesses that still exist in America, and we are all free to conduct business the way that suits us best, catering to customers that suit us best. Power to the providers, yay!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
