I don't like the word myself as it makes me feel dirty. However, it is a sex board and this is a sex industry. I won't slap you upside the head if you call me the "C" word but I may wrinkle my nose a little til you kiss me, lick me, tease me and make me forget it!
Yea, this may get the Lil Phil era off and rolling over a cliff, but I read two new reviews today of two of my favs, and in each one, the reviewer used the word that is generally considered to be the most offensive single word in the english language! Yes, I'm referring to the "C" word. For those still in a fog...it sounds like bunt! In fact, IMHO, the guys that use it should be hit over the head with a baseball bat by the provider! But I digress.
Why hasn't TER admin prohibited the use of it in reviews?
As long as it is used in the proper context, I don't know why anyone would be offended. I use it and have never been smacked as a result.
You'll get a lot of differing opinions about this, of course. But I'm with you Desperado. It's mildly offensive and I think the ladies should use the baseball bat reaction you suggested. Frankly, a lot of guys around here could use some lessons in showing some class and upgrading their vocabulary. Just my 2 cents ....
Really?
Come on- its just crude sex talk.
Not a racial ethnic slur or really abusive language.
The hypersensitivity on TER is astounding-
There are so many reasons for being legitimately offended.
The word "cunt" isn't one of them.

Said in the right context and by the right person, the word "cunt" can be very sexy. I take more umbrage with the word "bitch". For some reason a woman can call me a bitch and it seems to roll off my back, but if a man does...he'd better duck.
With women "bitch" can be a term of endearment for me.
I recently saw a client who referred to me as "bitch" three times in a session. It wasn't the least bit sexy, I found it quite offensive and off-putting and I would absolutely never see him again.
Cunt? Please. Whisper something about "fucking [my] cunt" at the right moment and I'm liable to orgasm instantaneously.
I knew a British girl who used the term liberally as if it were just another acceptable term for a body part -- kind of like "cookie" or something like that. Soft of creeped me out but it had absolutely no negative connotation for her.
The most offensive single word in the English language? I don't think so. But I won't be using it anytime soon as a term of endearment for the wifey.
I do not read reviews posted about favorite ladies after my completed search process leads me to them. Your post illustrates just one of the reasons why....
The real issue here is that feeling of protectiveness for a favorite lady, and hey - I share that tency.
I think, however, that it is in everyone's best interest to allow the lady to handle her own business, including her subsequent review history, and any rebuttal she should choose to make to its content.
I would not want to cost my ladyfriends a possible long term client by getting into a conflict over another's review
just my 2c

I think you have to distinguish between using the word as a synonym for “vagina” and using it in a demeaning fashion. If the former, I think it is just crude sex language that is acceptable on a sex review board. If used in demeaning fashion – and I have noted such use on this very board but very rarely– then I would hope the Board would voice disapproval when such language is used
If the vision of all the ladies and gentlemen is to evolve sex for pay into a respectable profession or “business” as the ladies like to call it, then there is good reason to be as respectful in language used as in conduct. Should TER prohibit the word? No, that is not necessary. If enough members voice their disapproval, that will take care of the problem.
Could it have been used in the reviews as shorthand for "C U Next Time"?
It is much more pleasant than gash or axe wound. eom
I'm with the Desperado, mostly. I'm OK if someone else wants to refer to a body part by that word. But I was raised believing that calling a lady by that name is offering the worst of insults to her character.
It may be a regional thing. I have friends from NYC that use the word in 'polite' conversation daily. However, I was raised in the deep south where, even if the word perfectly applies to the person, you keep your mouth shut and just think it really hard.
I also remind visiting NYCers that, if on my home turf they refer to a lady by that word, there is an abundance of Louisville Sluggers available in any vehicle at the mall parking lot.
It's my opinion and it works for me.
Every man has his own pet name for pussy and cunt is just another one of those words. It may sound crude and dirty but in describing a pussy it is not.
If the gentleman is using the term to call a woman a cunt I think it's a different story. It makes the women seem dirty and nasty. Another word for she's a bitch. Now cunt is very low class and is degrading to be used this way.

the date....I really do think it looks ignorant in print on a review! I've read reviews with statement's like "then I shoved my cock in her wet cunt"!!!! C'mon guys!!!!!
It just makes you sound STOOPID!!!!!! 
Well I am not a big fan of the C word. But once with my ex fiancee she told lets try dirty talk during sex told her i was a tad uncomfortable with some words but i would do it to please her started out with the slut bitch and things like that but i dropped the C word and it was like a NY subway car just slammed to a screaming halt and she was done so i guess in some cases if she is into it.
But as a term to call a woman that in usual context is very rude doing it outside of sex should be considered bad. Outside the bedroom i would never use it
I'm not into fetish... and that is the only reason I can think of for a male to use those words... with prior agreement. I can't imagine using them at all.
I might understand a women using them at the height of passion if she's into dirty talk...

I see little reason for any arbitrary or supercilious censorship.
Was the "C" word used as a synonym for body parts, or as an extension/escalation of the "B" word? If the former, I would view the review writer as being crass, if the latter, what is the context? We don't know what reviews you are referring to, so we can't interpret what you are saying. Prohibiting words here would not be cool, even if some find certain terms offensive. The majority of us are smart enough to know when these terms are used denigrate others, and to proceed accordingly.
Cunt or cunni is a yummy word. It's more used by europeans, I think. Not sure why americans think of it as so bad.
Though, it's different if someone calls ME a cunt. Them's fighting words.
But I love having lots of words to describe things, so my vocabulary doesn't get repetitive when I'm talking dirty...
Where do you think the word cunnilingus comes from? Latin is sexy.
It's 2009....people say that.....what would you like reviewers to replace c*nt with?? Bottomless pit??
ROFLMAO, ok, lets get this straight. Your involved with the adult industry (either provider or hobbiest), you take your clothes off and put strangers body parts in your mouth. But you're offended by the "c word". Seriously?
