I’d like to think that a segment of the Hobbyist community grew up sneaking a peak at their father’s porn collection.  This was a time of VHS tapes and magazines.  Although the pictorials were great, it was the Forum stories in Penthouse that were the most stimulating.  The combination of a teen’s active imagination and the Forum letters lead to many a Fantasy needing to be fulfilled.    
The community is a virtual reality of all those Forum letters.  A Session with that hot school teacher or a ménage- a –trois are all within reach.  That being said; Concerns for safety, LE & fake advertisements for both providers and hobbyists are real.  
This may be old hat to most, but I’d like to share a few ways that I’ve used both TER and P411 to mitigate some of those concerns and enhance my experiences.
I, like most Hobbyists on this board, have had many more sessions, then they have posted reviews.  I’d like to think the more stellar experiences are the ones worth posting.  Once logged into TER, I view the new reviews.  I initially filter by location, rating & number of reviews.  When I see a provider that peaks my interest, I dive into the actual review.  I am more likely to book a provider that has a P411 account because of the ease and convenience of that system.  Thru TER, I’ve also found that there are certain regional Hobbyists that have similar tastes in women and expectations.  I bookmark these Hobbyists and schedule future sessions based on their reviews.  There is no need to re-invent the wheel.
Another reason I prefer ladies with P411 accounts is my sessions are tend to be more pleasurable.  Should you get a chance, I recommend a quick read:   ‘Leading the Starbucks Way.’  The success, in part, of Starbucks, stems from creating an ‘emotional experience.’  Although I can e-mail each provider my preferences in attire or beverage, it takes a little something away from the fantasy.  The providers and the agency’s that belong to P411 generally see this in my profile and make the necessary accommodations.  One agency in particular, has consistency in not only the client experience, but talent as well.  Although both sites feature a visiting providers area, TER is much more detailed and user friendly.
