Are TER members a cut above the general mongering world or are we a representative average. Please indulge me in my long post.
Specifically, in reviews or guys post on the boards, "Be nice to the girl", or "show up freshly showered", and "treat her nicely", are we preaching to the choir? I get a sense that TER members, in general, are a cut above the mongering world. A lot more resources, or at least not looking for the B'more crack whore for $60 buck suck and fuck car date. Also, 80/20 rule in effect, but I don't feel TER members beat and rob providers. The vast majority playing in the $300 to $600 range (the lower numbers being K-Girls and agencies). This would be the adjusted bell curve, with the trailing upper end in the +600 and lower end, $180ish, in the rub and tug, and Bedpage range.
What are your thoughts? Are public service announcements a waste of space here on TER or a necessary evil because, well, people are people?
And even if we do say "treat her nicely", there will always be guys who short the donation, push the boundaries (try to slip off the condom), and physically push the girls (choking). And even if you remind guys not to do that, they'll do it anyway because that's just who they are.
I'm always shocked at behaviors. For example, I'd never grab a girl's ass in a bar. I've learned over the years talking to friends its pretty common behavior. Women have just shaken it off in the past. Today's world is different, a cultural shift. Maybe a product of years and years of boorish behavior and subsequent reaction of years of 'abuse' coming home to roost.
Long post, but we have a lot of intelligent and reasonable posters on the board.
Welcome, your thoughts and thoughtful responses, men and women. Are PSA's wasted here on TER, or a good reminder because we are a representative swath of society on the board? And even if posted, does it or has it ever made a difference? Basically, does peer pressure/social pressure have an effect on members of TER? Does it make ANY difference to do a PSA?
