As a hobbyist, I'd be reluctant to post the first review of a provider without her consent.  You know, throwing her contact information on a message board along with a description of everything.  I'm probably a bit prudish, but it strikes me as borderline invasion-of-privacy.  Unless she made it clear she didn't mind, I'd rather let her advertise where she pleases.  That way she can control the level of exposure she gets.  'kay, I'll stop now.

(Damnit, this was supposed to be a reply to lacylynn's thread, below.  I don't suppose a mod can fix this for me?...)

you are here to write reviews. Its a lovely gesture
Always ask first however.. If you saw her name here she apparently has a review policy. However,most girls dont like first time reviewers to review them being it doesnt look real

He has to pop his (review) cherry somewhere!

You are so very correct. but we hate it..  LOL

First time reviewers usually look suspicious for several reasons...
First and most importantly, they have no history

Next is the issue that most Newbies have no idea what to expect and almost always write reviews that are so out there that they are unbelievable.... (granted the reviewer probably hasn't ever experienced the sexual energy and the "talent" sexually of an experienced provider, simply because civie women probably don't have the experience or the level of desire to satisfy as much as a provider does)

~But most new to the hobby, first time reviewers just post almost unbelievable comments or at least questionable, at best comments.

A review from a new reviewer doesn't bother me as much now as it did before I had pages of reviews.... but for a new provider it really doesn't add any credibility to her reputation.   Just my thoughts   ~T

Y'all seem to think that I've offered to make lacylynn my first escort review...  I haven't posted any reviews, and I have no intentions of doing so in the future.

My point was that I would be especially reluctant to post the first review of a unreviewed provider (IF I were so inclined in the first place of course), given that she may not even be aware of TER.  

So my advice to lacylynn would be to subtly point out that a review would not be minded, and in fact appreciated.  If I were inclined to submit a review, this would assure me that she wouldn't have to go through the hassle to getting it taken down -- if she didn't want it.

I just wanted to set the record straight here.
