At times while reading reviews I'll check out the reviewers past postings. I've noticed some of the reviewers see TS/TV as well as straight ladies. Now I'm not judging anyones sexual preference, but I'm not into TS/TV. However, it does cause me not to see a straight provider if see has seen someone who has other reviews of TS/TV encounters. We all know there are risk in this hobby, but IMO having TS/TV encounters raises the risk factor a little higher. My question is do other hobbyest feel the same way as I do ? And for providers;  If known prior to or at that time of an appointment, would you still see that client?

so chances are good that most providers have seen someone that sees TS/TVs...  don't kid yourself

I have to say..unless a client tells me he has seen a TV/TS..I would not know..I dont have time to read my reviews half the time..never mind others..I probably should but i dont" check up" on clients... so dont judge a provider by that..she may not know..and unless she does things unprotected..I hope none do...than the risk is no greater..its definately your choice..dont see somoene you dont feel comfortable with..now I have to wonder"have i seen someone who has seen that type of provider?" i have way too many other things to worry about without new ones...lol

All you can really do in this world is keep track of your OWN activities, and be as safe as possible in them.  It's ridiculous to try to screen by the types of activities that partners of partners have been involved with.  The exponential nature of those other contacts simply makes this unrealistic.  You can only control your own behavior.  That's why they make condoms.

OK here it goes........I am sure I will be flamed, BUT this needs to be said! OK I am a Post-Op TS,( I really hate that lable?) and NO! no one should be threatned if some has seen me and has seen other providers. The truth is I never dated a dude till after my surgery, and even that was kinda scetchy for me for the first few years.
So as far as risks go with me? HELL NO! there is no more risk with me than any other provider on these boards. You guys, and girls just need to always be carefull when playing, it's that simple!
It might sound kinda two faced, but it does scare me if a client see's a lot of Pre-op TS's. I do wonder if the risk factor  might be a bit higher, I am not sure?? I don't hang in those circles so I don't really know, about those kinda providers so I will leave it at that.
I do know there are lots of providers out there that are like me but do not disclose like I do, about thier past. (but to each thier own) And yes you would never know........Even durring intercourse, that they were not genetic women.
The main issue here is ALL OF US, (providers and hobbyst) are engaged in a higher risk catagory, than the puretanical MORAL MAJORITY. ( poor basterds are so sexually frustrated)
If there is a girl you would like to see (no matter what type of provider she is) just use your head and play safe!

I had the same question myself when I was doing my 'homework' and saw that the gentleman had been with TS/TV, and was concerned. I am even VERY hesitant when I see people's reviews that include Tijuana! Yikes!

First of all, not every gentleman does a review for every encounter, so there's much that you already don't know! And secondly, you can only assume as to how the encounters were regardless of with whom. I've asked one client who saw a TS and he said they only performed oral, but then how can you really know?

You can't, and SDStud is correct. Do the best you can..be safe, practice safely. Don't be afraid to ask for a cbj if you feel more comfortable.

I too, felt a bit "odd" when I had spare time one day & was surfing TER and discovered some female providers I'd seen (favorites included)had reviews from hobbyists that had reviewed TS/TG providers.

I have not decided whether to see the female providers again.

But, Sedona is right.  It is all relative.  One I may see b/c I know (from my experience) that she is always "safe/"  The other, I may not b/c I know she sometimes bends the "safety" 'rules.'

There are alot of female providers that you probaly could also be just as squeamish about as the TS/TG if you noticed cross-reviews..

Let's see.  Would you see a provider who saw a client who had seen a (very definitely) female provider who did anal?  Same for BBBJ.  What about DFK.  For all you know the provider has done it right after flossing her teeth.

If TS providers, and the guys who see them disgust you, well and good.  In matters of taste there is no argument.  But a significant extra risk factor?  I just don't see it.

And as far as the Puritanical Moral Society - I think I have a number of doubts as to their 'safe' practices!

I seem to say this every week, but I will say it again:  nothing is completely safe in life.  If a providers history bothers you, don't see her.  If you are iffy, use a condom and prey it doesn't break. Otherwise, caveat emptor.

The likelihood is greater that you will die in a car wreck than have a problem with one of our lovely TER ladies, especially the established ones.

Just how does it raise the risk higher by having a TS/TV encounter???? If you believe that, then I think you're just giving yourself a false sense of security.

Do you want an idea of risk? Just get a large piece of paper and put your favorite provider's name in the middle. Then draw a branch out for every person (hobbyist or not) that she was with. Continue this for every person. It will never end. Now you will never know the exact number of branches a person will have so you'll have to add on a few extra branches.

With San Diego being a military town, you'll have to add some branches for the overseas providers. Oh yes, don't forget about our proximity to Mexico. More branches.

Now find the TV/TS folks on your 'tree'. How much of a risk did they add? Compare that with rape victims in your tree.

I do acknowledge an uncomfortable feeling from the thought that she was a guy who was with another guy that happened to be with a bunch of other guys....
