Can you please amplify your answer (“not really...”)?  

I was thinking along the same lines as joeva32.  My logic, which could be wrong, is: following the newbie advice on TER (“do your homework”), I’m screening carefully (e.g., I’m trying to contact only well-reviewed ladies).

In my area, that leaves me with somewhat more choices than I can reasonably attend to, so I’m narrowing my interest to ladies who “screen, screen, screen.”  I’m a snap to verify as legit, so my hope when we meet is: you’re comfortable, I’m comfortable and, therefore, we can see if we “click.”  If we're not going to have fun, let's skip it.

So, am I actually improving both parties’ safety and security?  

BTW, I made a single exception to this simple two-step procedure for a “provider” that looked very alluring in her photos.  Way HOT!  I’m quite sure I found her on TER and that she was well, although perhaps sparsely, reviewed.  Long story short, I’m blithely reading along on the national discussion board last week when I see a couple of posts that mention her indirectly.  Maybe it's her, maybe not.  One said cryptically:  “beware a provider in (my area) that’s blonde but has face obscured on her website.”  The other uses three letters of her name, the rest “...***” and says "LE."  And I think “OMG, no way.”  At this point, I’d already e-mailed her and gotten back a pleasant response (but no screening questions... and nothing about screening on her website and no general disclaimer like "if you're thinking you can ever get me to say or do ANYTHING illegal, forget it").  

End of story:  I'm at the computer recently with a provider I’ve seen more than once.  I show her the reply from the face-obscured local “provider” and she says, unequivocally, "big-time LE.  Stay far away."  

So, as the blood in my veins thaws, I go to “search reviews”, type in the questionable provider's name, and guess what: nothing.  Reviews pulled I guess.
