but whenever I get "comfortable" posting here, something happens & I back off for a while. So, I'm glad you asked..........

For me, I found TER completely by accident not too long after I started this hobby. I, like many gents on here probably started with CL & moved on to the ulta-upscale BP ...... HaHa !!!! With CL, besides one exception, I felt like the closet perv who was lurking around the internet street corners. I found one lady on there who was a single mom & recently divorced. She needed financial help & started providing part time. We "clicked" & I saw her regularly. After several months, she met someone, stopped providing & I wished her the best. We are actually non-hobby friends to this day. She would have fit in perfect on TER, but she didn't, nor did I, know about it. Then the Boston CL murder hit & scared the shit out of me, so I stopped altogether. Well, as we all have our own reasons to Hobby, I missed the intimacy, companionship & friendship that I shared with my first ATF & decided to continue.

Next up --- BP. As you all know.........that, for the most part, officially SUCKED!!!! No pun intended. I am probably sterotyping, so forgive me for doing that. I realize there are some fine ladies who have advertised on BP at one time or another. I am speaking in regards to my own general experiences......not aimed at all of those on BP, by any means. I spent so much money to never see someone it was ridiculus. I would make the appt., show up & when I started talking w/ the provider I felt like I needed to be f'ing sanitized just for being there. I learned to not think with my little head when I first met & saw someone. If I didnt "feel good" about being there (much less being with that provider), I would leave the full donation because I didn't want to hurt their feelings & then excuse myself. Not that I'm George Clooney or anything special.........but I didn't want to feel like an addict.....you know.....like Tiger Woods!!  I was searching for more.

Then came a business trip to Los Angeles & the "Left Coast". I just knew there had to be qulity ladies who provided companionship with class out there. You know.... fun, sexy, erotic, etc. So, I started seraching & my eyes lit up like a christmas tree. WOW !!! I found out that some providers had websites, blogs, etc. Holy shit.....imagine that!!!! They also had a link to this place called THE EROTIC REVIEW !!! Jack-pot !!  I joined as a VIP & started loooking at the reviews & the board in L.A.  Found two ladies who I saw on the trip & wow, what a difference. I felt energized & happy as opposed to the feelings I had felt with BP. Once home, I reviewed them both with stellar comments. They both emailed & thanked me. Damn....what a difference I thought.

At that point, I discovered the community of the Carolina Board on TER and instantly felt right at home.  I throughly enjoy the camraderie & life on this board. You all make me laugh with some of the funny shit that gets posted. I appreciate the "hobby friendships" via the community & I value the ladies who accept invitations to meet me or vice-versa. I have never been disappointed with a single lady I met through this board. Although I have not reviewed everyone, you all are stellar LADIES !!! That's right ---- I said LADIES, because that's what you all are. Oh, I forgot...... FUN, SEXY, EROTIC LADIES !!!

I apologize for being a bit long. However, I felt like it was important to let you know how much I appreciate the "hobby friendships" that this board allows for me to enjoy. I realize it is a bit naive for me to feel this way because of what our hobby is, but is so much more refreshing than what it was two years ago & it's because of each of you & TER.

THANKS TO ALL !!!!

Not really but it got you in here didn't it?  Sorry for the deception.

Some of you know I have plenty of time on my hands and can spend lots of it doing mostly whatever I want.  Today, I just happened to dedicate to reading reviews.

Now and then I feel compelled to post one of these useless questions no one can really answer.

How is it that a gent can find TER after he has a "She just laid there" or worse performance.  There are plenty of reviews where the guy is posting his first review but the provider has numerous performance ratings at 4 or below.

Does she tell him about TER?  Does he suddenly get extra blood flow to his brain cells and start looking for some kind of review site?  Is he complaining to a friend who clues him in?  I just don't understand......  

Now, on the other hand, there are probably those who found TER before they started visiting new friends and so were able to avoid such a rude introduction to our world.  Those are the ones we never hear from.  Unless it's a "I found _____ on TER and we blah...... blah....... blah.  It was wonderful and I will be back to see her."  I never look to see if that one is the guy's 1st or 100th review.  Maybe I should start looking at those also.  Might be suprised how many smarter gents are out there.

So, a two part question for the men...

1.  Did you find TER before or after you started "hobbying"?    ---   Before

2.  How did you find out about it?   ---  Followed a link on a providers website.


And a two part question for the ladies.......

1.  If you know the gent is a "Newbie" do you clue him in or not?

2.  Why?

In the beginning i was born ..... to far back?  

I hobbied before, years ago.  10 12.   Ran thru Craigslist.  Didnt know bout reviews.  Read the same sort of ads looking for something special.  wasnt bad.  wasnt good.  Lot of slam bam.  6 and 7 in looks and 4 and 5 in performance.  Found TER doing searches and stumbled on a lady that wasnt very pretty but had a pretty nice body and a great personality.  And had a decent rating, for the time in my world.   And I enjoyed visiting her so I kinda just stopped looking.  Was great for a year and she hooked up with a client and moved to SC.  She was nice and let me know what was going on. I wished her well and left hobbying.  

Last summer,  started reading TER and went to see some agency girls.  Too young and that was just a personal thing.  Then I ran across and started watching this board.  Lurked for a long time.  Didnt really take the jump until one day the girls posted each other and it sounded like they wanted to have a hot sleep over.  lol Then someone said I kissed a girl and liked it.  Personalities were just good.  So I started reading thier reviews and got hooked. Now I just stick with the board ladies, partially because you feel you know them and partially cause they rock.  I think I am still on my mission.

So after I started i found TER.  And I found it doing searches.  And I cant figure why a guy would see a lady with continuous bad ratings.

I started on Cl 3 years ago completely clueless about TER. (I did have prior agency experience) The first time I heard of TER was through a couple that were my clients. I guess I really did not get it at first. lol  Then bless his heart, came my first reviewer  He gave me so much helpful 411, he was awesome!

When I first started providing I seen newbies & Yes I would tell them things to hopefully keep them safe.

Im not a gentleman but I would think men come across TER or other sites throuugh an interesting womans site... The lucky ones, come here and stay But seriously we all wanna think we are i some secret group but I actually think there is nothing secret about seeing us ladies, it is the 'oldest proffesion' right??


Personally I love introducing newbies into this world.. I am happy to admit iin doing this alot of times in my X years of being a working girl..... Id happily show a man the ropes.. Why you ask? Because its a wonderful lil 'secret' world we are in.. There's really amazing women and men here and it would be very important to show him how to do it correctly.. Trust and believe I dont want anyone making any mistakes and I want everyone to have fun bc thats what we are here for, TO HAVE FUN..

Anyways, its still early and Im half asleep still so hope I helped....

Spinx when can I sit on your face again????

This is long winded and maybe a little off topic but here goes. When I first decided to try out this new world about 3-4 years ago I was very cautious and probably spent 3-6 months looking and trying to decide whether or not to see someone. I never used CL but mainly looked at BP and Eros. One of the BP providers ad mentioned they were reviewed on TER so I googled TER and found the site. I decided to take the plunge while on a business trip for the first time about 3 years ago. I wasn't VIP so I could only look at the summaries but got a good feel that this particular provider would be "safe" to see and would be attractive (based on several reviews). Needless to say things went well and I ended up seeing her 4 times in the week I was there. Upon returning home I still didnt play locally and it was another year before I played again on the same annual business trip. It went well again so then I decided I'd be ok playing closer to home. I now have been playing close to home for 2 years but I have a very strengent criteria when selecting who I want to meet. First, safety is priority #1 so I will only see someone if they have very good multiple reviews OR 1 or 2 reviews from a screename I recognize and know their reviews are legit (like Pac-Man, Roadshow,etc). I will never TOFTT and have NEVER seen anyone who wasn't reviewed. Second,  I'm probably a little pickier than most and try to only see women who fit what I find most attractive. I prefer a petite slender/average bodied woman, blonde hair (light brunnette ok ), GFE and multiple cups. Multi-cups are not a dealbreaker but my first cup never takes long so I got tired of paying for an hr and being done in 15 minutes and then being ready to go again 5 minutes later only to be told that is not available or cost more. Now if multi-cups are not available I opt for the shortest visit allowed. Also, this is not saying I don't find other women attractive or haven't seen other women  but a man wants to see what turns them on the most, right? Third, I'm probably a little younger than the average hobbyst and one thing TER has taught me is I realized that age is just a number. Honestly, at the beginning I searched for the youngest, hottest, reviewed college girl like everyone else and now some of the most enjoyable times I have had have been with more mature ladies (Yes you Erica and Julia).  Now I don't really care about age but personality, appearance, chemistry and performance are the most important things to me. Anyway, because of my criteria, paranoia, or whatever you want to call it I have never found myself in an uncomfortable situation or run into a bait & switch.  Sure some pictures weren't them but they were a fair representation of the provider and I already knew they weren't her based on the reviews. I typically try to see board members I have seen before I attempt look on BP, etc for someone new. I have been able to meet some incredible ladies thru TER and hope to meet some of you I don't know. I'm not always with VIP status so PM's won't always get to me but if you think you and I should meet then post here and I'll check it out. Sorry for the long read but thought I'd share my experience/criteria with TER.

I lurked a very long time before entering the hobby.  First was CL, then BP, but was very nervous not knowing anything about who they were, or if they were real.  So I googled and found numerous "review" sites.  I joined several "free" memberships to see which site I would join.  TER kept catching my eye and I finally joined.  I read reviews and researched for almost 4 years before taking the dive!  Now I won't see a lady unless she has reviews, and will probably not TOFTT unless she is from a reputable agency I have delt with before, or is recommended from another provider.

1.  Did you find TER before or after you started "hobbying"?    ---  
Before

2.  How did you find out about it?
Had been in Charlotte for about 6 months and did a internet search
and TER came up. - first provider: Toni Benz
