Many hobbyists and providers have control issues, as in they want to control the lives of the people around them.  

 
I think this is an issue that society as a whole deals with, it's just more transparent in this world.

Can't speak for other hobbyists, but this one just wants to get his brains fucked out by some bodacious hottie with skills.

I can not compare this statement to your other board posts.  

 
You sound like a person with control issues.

I have no desire to control anyone's life but my own. I just want to get my world rocked.

90% of guys and gals in a sudden rage of jealousy, aggression or out of control of their mind, are on hard drugs or alcohol.

  Now ask yourself, if you were a Hooker would you be able to lay down and smile with most guys they see, without dulling your senses ?  
   
I can only answer for myself, I have no need to be inebriated when  visiting a Hooker.
 
    Not only do I view  her  photos, I read her reviews and profile, plus I've never felt the need for  liquid courage,  to meet a woman.  

 

     
   
 

"FatVern is getting dumber by the day"

I think this is an issue society as a whole deals with, but it is just more transparent in this world as fortunately, this is the only place we are subjected to this moron.

"Control issues" could mean so many things, but if you mean invading someone's life where you are unwanted, then I think that would quickly get you outed in a community like this which is dedicated to sharing information.  

I get the feeling, from your post in the NPR interview thread, that by control you mean to take an interest in politics and regulation. I think it's foolish not to do so, when to be or to visit a provider means breaking the law. You gave the example of a dentist... if my dentist had to evade law enforcement for cleaning my teeth, then yes I would take an interest in legal trends and the manipulation of public opinion.

You run from board to board hoping that anyone will pay any attention to you.

I've seen your posts..your imitation of a 12 year old is great.

Now go back to your P&R board and try and argue your way out of a paper bag.

However are you sure this is the only place that "we" are subjected to morons like this?

Honestly, any one that is being controlled by someone else allows that control.  Some even pay extra for it here  

In both worlds I try to avoid these kinds of people. It's easier to avoid in this world because of resources like TER.

I have no idea what he does when not on TER, I can only imagine how he acts IRL. I am sure it's not a pretty sight.

Oddly enough though, some of my absolute best sexual experiences have been with me as a submissive. It's like because I am always trying to control so many other things around me, that I need to give that up for the bedroom so I can actually get off. No different than men who are in power positions at work always seeking out doms. You tend to manifest the opposite traits of your daily routine in the bedroom in many cases.

I have spoken to and heard many stories about providers who need this business because it gives them a sense of power that was taken from them through some type of trauma, but not sure how high those numbers are overall as I can't speak for the majority... just those who have told me in confidence.  

I used to be very controlling in relationships, and now I don't really care lol. I have found that when you try to control or change someone under the delusion you'll be happier if they change, it's just the opposite. We were initially attracted to the very things we try to change in people and when we do that, we don't want them anymore lol. Don't ya hate that? Some chick spends 3 years telling you all the things wrong with you and when you change, she leaves for a dude that is like you were in the beginning... the cycle continues ha ha.

What if fried potaters didn't sell?  Should we file a restraining order against fried potaters?  

…do you understand where it is coming from and why? (Or are you going to be hopelessly transparent, or shallow, with little effort? And, I say this because your question is vague and weak.)

Perhaps for some insight, Plato said:

The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself; to be conquered by yourself is of all things most shameful and vile.

So in all fairness, it’s not necessarily society’s issue, now

Did making assessments happen before fairness existed?  Can you assess biscuits?  What about French Fried Potaters?

Issues cause bias. Bias cause religious one sided beliefs.
Therefore, control issues = religion.  :s

And I got real fresh biscuits to prove it. Mmmmmm Hmmmmmm

fried potaters = capitalism  
therefore fried potaters won't sell in a country that isn't a democracy
