TER General Board
Let me make it simple for you, as I have no idea what close mindedness you are babbling on about! Here it goes: Eating feces is not a healthy activity and if any client of your offers to eat your sh*t or if you have friends who partake in that kind of unsanitary activity, you should seriously expand your own mind as to what is accepted sanitary behavior. Then again, if I'm being close minded, then so be it. If your argument is with regards to the TS activities, I am not ignorant to it at all. If I was, I would not even bother thinking twice about it 
You picked on TS's and anyone who has seen them. There are so many men that I wouldn't touch with a freaking pole just reading the reviews. You are ignorant...you are pointing a finger at one section of this community, making them out to be "diseased" or spreaders of disease. That's ignorant as there are plenty of others who do the very same things but I guess because they are not TS or visit Ts, they are suddenly cleaner?
You simply can not call me ignorant, if you willingly or unwillingly, have failed to fully comprehend what I wrote in the second paragraph of the OP, so here it is:
"Now, I have no bias toward one's personal choices and sexual persuasions and preferences, but primarily from a health related POV, I refrain from seeing a Provider who wittingly or unwittingly (which I imagine to be the majority of these type of cases) has had recent encounters with the type of Hobbyists who frequently visit both sides of the fence."
What part of "recent encounters" and "frequently" as in with frequency is too hard to grasp? Perhaps if I failed anywhere, was to quantify it, so here it goes:
Within the last 3 month for seeing a Hobbyist who frequents TSs and for me personally, if a Hobbyist keeps crossing the fields of female Provider vs TS Provider every other review or 2:1, that is just too much! Happy now?! And yes, there are many Hobbyists who visit TSs with that kind of frequency under their own main TER ID.
Ultimately, it is my $$$ and I chose to spend it in the Hobby with whom I like to spend it with

You are right...your money spend it how ever you wish and if that turns you off, I get it. The ignorance comes from you thinking that these people are any worse than anyone else on here. It would be tantamount to me saying that I won't see any hobbyists that allows BBBJ because they are carriers of filth because they have allowed umpteen women who have touched lord knows what etc etc. Your public service warning has pretty much fallen on deaf ears and if you read the majority of the replies, they are not supporting your bia...not because anyone feels you have no choice in who you choose to play with, but how you have labeled a portion of the community.
You and everyone else who thinks TS are more likely to be diseased are kidding yourselves into a false sense of security about the rest of us. In reality we are all as diseased as one another...or not. We all play in the same pool and do so with those who push limits of health and safety, but do we really know what faction is worse than any other? And do we know for absolute sure who the crosses those health and safety boundaries?
Are you that homophobic that you feel they are more disease ridden than the rest of us? If so...I get it. It's your homophobia that is the issue, not unsafe sex, becasue if it were unsafe sexual practices, you had better leave this hobby and go find something else that is much safer, but realy it's not that becasue if you knew how many hetero people(providers/hobbyists) are into ass and licking and fingering without gloves and any protection, you'd run for the hills. But it really isn't that is it?
Another obvious oblivious poster. Did I even mention viruses or HIV, for that matter? The topic was turn off and while catching diseases is definitely not a turn on, being turned off is not necessarily limited to that topic 
ML: Thank you for a well thought, well mannered and might I say, a very lucid counter argument. Even though, we may not agree on everything on this topic, this particular post was a joy to read, plus very informative to boot. Well done
What I try to do is just research the provider and find out that she is clean and safe and once thats done then I feel better. If I were to worry about the clients she sees then I would go crazy with worry so why bother.
I can not say that this has lead me to go crazy, as: "Knowledge is Power"
Allure: the word "hater" is often misused in our current pop culture by those who fail to string along a logical argument. Further, you had to augment your weak argument by some fantasy story. Good for you, but nonetheless, I for one, am not any more enlightened after reading your drivel
One lady in a few posts back, used a good word: "scrutinize", i.e, above and over screening for LE and general wackos, the Providers must scrutinize their Hobbyists for behavioral pattern that could cost them future business. It is your life, body and health, so be selective about whom you decide to see, and although nothing is 100% fail proof, one can develop a more careful approach to the Hobby. I know that I will be.
For every juicy "freebie" story that you care to portray, there are equally juicy stories out there that involve exchanging of $$$ willingly and gleefully
FYI, I've never had to play "pocket pool" by force, and if I did, it was by choice
Your point is well taken on the way that these things can branch out very rapidly and have an effect akin to dominos tumbling. However, why do you have to frame it so that it seems that I was against Homosexuals?! Actually, most TSs do not consider themselves as homosexuals as they believe that they are female by nature, if not by design. Since when has it become "prudish" not being into ass-play? I'm generally not fond of visiting "Greece" or rimming (either as a giver or taker) with my sexual partners. Am I homophobic because of that? Not at all! I have done these in rare occasions with any LTR SO whom I was totally comfortable with and when we decided to get our "freak on" nasty style, but these activities are definitely not the norm with me. As to what norm means to other, to each his own.
Finally to answer your question about interrogating every client for having had sex with TSs? Well,l no! But to have your eyes opened is not necessarily a bad habit
I don't understand the level of concern about what a provider may or may not have done or currently does.
I could see if you were scouting for a life partner maybe, but to me it appears that you might be focusing on details that, while distasteful to you, have little if any bearing on you and your hobby experience.
You know the phrase "what you don't know won't hurt you?." The way I see it in this case, what you DO know doesn't hurt you either. But, if the idea of some activity a provider engages in discusts you, just forget about it, and move on.
Safe sex is an oxymoron anyway. Doesn't exist (outside of masturbation maybe.) There are only practices (precautions) that may lessen your risks to one degree or another.
If one of your precautions is to try to determine the clientele of a provider, then knock yourself out! Just remember this is P4P, and a lot goes on BDC that you probably don't want to know about. More importantly, you WILL NEVER really know.
