I've been in the hobby for a little over 15 years. I look back and see my first review was 8 years ago. When I first found ter I was sold on its ability to help and keep us all safe.  
I paid for vip the first year or two. I am a low use guy. I see a girl once a year usually.  
I recently had a wonderful time with a un-reviewed girl. I asked her if she wanted the extra attention a ter review would bring her. I explained what ter was and how it could be useful to her.  
After writing my review its been unapproved for "lack of juicy details".
I know this is a public forum but can't some things still be between a man and women?

I can't tell you how many clients I've had who've had the same issue. While "juicy details" can be fun to read, it's a shame that they're a requirement for reviews to be accepted. It would be wonderful if TER offered clients the ability to write mini reviews or something similar.  A client could let other interested parties know if the provider was safe, professional, and accurately represented by her photos without having to rehash every single thing they did together. Not every client fancies themselves an erotic fiction writer lol

One of the reasons this site destroyed its competition is exactly bc it required juicy details.

Holding hands and gazing into each other's eyes is maybe what you want to read and possibly a few manginas but the majority want to know what we will be paying for with what amounts to a kings ransom for many working class guys here.

Not all of us want to read, or write a "letter to Penthouse"

I pretty much skip over the juicy details and am much more interested in whether or not the pics are accurate and recent, her general attitude and what kind of "rules" she has regarding menu items such as DFK and BBBJ. aside from that I am quite tired of reading about how "she trembled with anticipation as he readied his massive schlong, and how she  came almost immediately on her way to 13 orgasms in their fifteen minute QV session" Gag me with a fucking spoon.

If TER would relax their rules about juicy details, I would suspect the number of reviews submitted would sky rocket leading to an INCREASE in the site's worth, not a decrease.

That's doesn't make them right necessarily but if I were them I would not risk it.

There was a bow wow site back in the day that didn't offer the juicy details and people fled in droves to come to this site.

You may skip over the juicy details but I would say you are in the minority. Most here to seem to salivate over every word and feigned moan.

But you also know I state here all the time to not take the reviews at face value 100% but to pm to get the real dirt.

The specific things you mention (number of orgasms, massive schlongs, etc) are filler and I agree about those things being useless so point taken there

Everything from their format, their discussion software, their reviews, you name it, and they were/are inferior to TER.  

and it's rather obvious that TER disagrees with me, but my point does remain that a LOT more reviews would be submitted if the rules about just how many juicy details are required for approval were relaxed a bit.

Lastly, I do concede there are a LOT of guys who drool over every word written in the reviews. I just can't relate to those guys as I consider sex a "participant sport" not a spectator sport.

Funny, I started off on the woof woof board a very long time ago, but I haven't been there for so long I don't even know if they still exist. Do they?

A little pot meet kettle here but here goes. the Juicy Details can be quite useful IMO. Sometimes things there counter what's on an old profile for a lady. Are the claims often false? Sure. It's up to the guy to flesh out prior what's fact vs fiction. Juicy details from solid quality reviewers CAN be quite useful.

Actually, you make a valid point. It really does depend on who the reviewer is and what rep he has re: the juicy details.

GaGambler270 reads

Which I suppose is my way of saying I agree as well.

I still don't want to wade through every word of multiple reviews, but I will concede some juicy details are more relevant than others.

How about if TER allowed for reviews with a lower threshold of juicy details, but didn't offer free VIP for those kind of reviews?

Here's how it could work, a reviewer submits a review for approval, TER reviews it and either approves it "as is" or if it's lacking in enough salacious details to be approved under the current system, but meets every other requirement, then they give the reviewer an option to either "provide more details or your review will not qualify for 15 free days of VIP" They already have reviews of "massage parlor girls" that do not qualify for VIP, so there is precedence for this.  

I think this would still provide incentive to write a full review like we are accustomed to, but would allow the guys who don't feel comfortable listing a "blow by blow" account of private time spent with a lady to contribute to the system as well.

Your thoughts,  if any?

not sure if no incentive would produce as many reviews as would be otherwise created.

how about just a couple days vip status for a mini review, like ter gives for a correction on a status page, or something like that?  and the usual 15 days for complete juicy details review.

Why not allow for juicy details *and* shorter reviews?  I can't imagine that would be anything but good for business.  I know I'd certainly have a few more reviews up there lol.

a total fucking PITA. You're right here for sure.

I'm sure there are plenty of people here who thoroughly enjoy reading your reviews... Myself included ;)

a total fucking middle eastern flatbread?  huh?

sorry jack but i agree,  i write extensive reviews, but mainly out of my habit as a writer and a reader.  i dislike reading one paragraph reviews of little detail ("we took off our clothes, main she was built!  some dfk lead to daty and a bbbj, then cg mish and doggie.  i popped and left a happy man").  i think the idea of a mini review would be much better.

but tbh writing long reviews is becoming more of a head ache at this point than a pleasure.  if i didn't get vip time from submitting reviews i would think about dropping it altogether.  and when reading a review, after i see if the lady engages in what i'm after, i really don't care to read the "juicy details."  i'd just as soon book a date and make my own juicy details.

Good point reviews don't need all juicy details.Reviews need impotant keys keep us all safe.........PAID fantasies and conversation or PAID arrangements without string.Cops need to fight real crime.

The name of this site is The Erotic Review.  
There are other boards in which one can exchange the inane , banter , insults, political views, dating tips , etc.....Though , unfortunately all of that does happen to occur here.

The value of the board is it provides reliable information . The kind that keeps us all , gents & the ladies safer.  
Accurate reviews allow us to avoid costly decisions.  
The details protect the ladies from false expectations.
Histories assist all parties .

Just don't write the review at all then if you feel that way. No harm in that and no one is forcing you to write a review.

But if you choose to write it, what is the point of it unless it is to inform the community of what the girl does menu wise, at least with you.  

That is the main purpose of this site.

As much as I dislike writing the juicy details I realize how much exposure it gives to the provider.
What I do miss from when I started was the menu that was listed in P411 that was done by the providers themselves. Add the reviews on TER to the defined menus options rather than the ambiguous details offers today and you had everything but the chemistry.  
Then I never saw a TER provider who was not P411 although most of the time still do not.

Either accept it and give what's asked, or don't submit anything.
It is required for women reviewers as well, so what happens between 2 women isn't immune either.
I'm not a huge fan of having to do it  but I know that it does have value. I often get follow up PM's requesting additional info. At least that part of it is private

Theoretically, the reviews keep clients safe and provide info on value for money. However, I've had enough regulars who continue reading the provider reviews long after confirming her level of service. I know this because they'll comment on recent reviews and recite the details. I've never asked why because I don't want to seem judgy about it, but gather some just enjoy the entertainment value. It's a form of porn for them, it seems. Sometimes it does feel as though they are monitoring the providers, making sure others aren't getting more than them or waiting for something negative to turn up to help warn the girl.  Whatever the reason, the details are clearly a part of their hobby participation.

Squeeze, you hit one very important point.  I continue to read reviews of my ATF because she's to busy to mess around on TER, and I can alert her about weirdness in her reviews.  And I will admit that it is interesting to read about what she does in her BDSM sessions, which is something I don't get into, personally.

Some guys only have the resources to see maybe one woman a month. Researching providers, reading and rereading reviews, back channeling with other hobbyists, learning every minor detail they can glean about the women that interest them helps fill the time in between actually seeing providers.

Other guys like myself who often see a different woman every day of the week don't feel the need to stress over every detail. I don't have to make every date perfect, I just want to make sure I am not going to get ripped off or arrested, and I do have rather high standards where it comes to appearance, so I also want to know if her pics are accurate as I don't trust the rather low standards of many of the guys who write reviews. Other than that, I simply take it as it comes, if I have a lousy session I don't repeat, and it's not the end of the world as I will simply see someone better tomorrow. The guys who blow a month of savings OTOH aren't so cavalier about a substandard session as they have an entire month to stew over it.

and then of course there are the guys who are just obsessive, stalkerish and creepy. lol

There was a thread about chemistry the other day and reviews can kill it for me.  I don't mean picky reviews or really sexually  graphic ones.  I mean the ones where there truly seemed to be an astounding chemistry and then the review tells every sentence exchanged, blink, chuckle, hair toss, personal detail along with the sex acts.

I may still like the client, but those are the reviews that tell me it wasn't chemistry, but narrative gold for him. And now I'm alerted OTC and menu extension would make its way into the narrative too.

at the risk of sounding like a mangina, i follow reviews of providers i've seen because i like to think she's doing well in her business and getting high marks from other consumers.  one lady i saw was getting consistently high reviews and broke into the top 100 at number 11, and i congratulated her for doing so well.  ironically she pulled herself off of ter soon after than, wanting to keep a low profile, so there is that mixed effect happening with reviews.

and to be really off the wall, reading what a lady does with other guys makes me remember the great time i had with her.

Definitely not the hobby for the jealous .... Sorta surprised that some would, considering gals were in the game before they became their ATF, but I've learned you don't say all or none ... it takes all kinds

extremely graphic language and detail. Some simply are unable or unwilling to do so.

Accurate and erotic is not the same as graphic.

There is a lack of standards for this among Admin, I think.

Consistency is a problem. I've seen a rejected review, and it was very explicit (actually too explicit for my preference), but it was rejected for lack of details (he sent it to me because he didn't want it to completely go to waste after he bothered to write it). I know another review was rejected as well, and although I didn't see it, I have a feeling that he simply didn't use enough acronyms to get it through.  Sometimes a lot of detail is given, but without the proper letters, admin doesn't always see "explicit" even though it's still quite detailed.

They have no interest in keeping anyone safe or making sure ladies are "legit". Their only interest is to have their pool of reviews be as large as possible so they can get traffic and collect memberships fees. They actively encourage fakes by offering free VIP for it. If providers speak out, they are punished. If guys try to write more tasteful reviews, they are not allowed to post them. TER is a tyranny, not a democracy. End of story.

A couple of weeks ago I pointed out to the admin. that I had found a reviewer who just copy/pasted his reviews onto the next random girl.  Of his 10 or so reviews, there were two variations.  No fucking way in hell they could be anything but fake but  TER told me unless thge girl complained, they wouldn't do anything.  Tyranny may be a little overreach, but they sure don't give a rats ass about accuracy.

Would you buy a car based on a review that said things like:  It has a motor and 4 wheels, and really nice paint job.

Did't think so

But I wouldn't need to read a driver's 1,000 word essay on "the gentle caress of the leather under my thighs" or to read about how "each cheerful chirp of the turning signal was music to my ears..." to get the point either lol.

The reviews help me with the do's and don'ts the provider has.

The ones who check to see if Courtney looks like their pictures, if she was nice, if she was on time, if he would go back.

But I can see both sides. Someone looking for a specific type of experience, and is going to try a new position, or to find a certain type of blow job, etc etc.

Or if she offers other stuff, like uses toys, how good she was at at not jabbing the poor guy too hard with the but toy, etc etc.

You guys are spending a lot of money, but if I were a dude, reading some other guy's horror story of how he licked the wetness of her pussy for some would be kind of - er - um - odd. lol

"......but if I were a dude, reading some other guy's horror story of how he licked the wetness of her pussy for some would be kind of - er - um - odd."

Exactly why I rarely bother with the XXX stuff written by guys who would not have the same type of sexual encounter that I typically do. I know what's gonna happen once the door of her hotel room closes.....I don't need someone else s completely different experience to guide me. But the non explicit stuff is invaluable to me. I want to know facts & data.

Ive had the pleasure of reading and writing reviews.
I've been asked not write and have obliged.
Other times ibe had the pleasure to TOFT and wrote the 1st.

I love reading and writing. Both are Fun

Just check out mine. When you get to talking about the action, just list specific acts that happened. It's not necessary to go into detail with those. I agree with the opinion that most reviewer's juicy details are tasteless, sometimes they're cloying.

Actually I just got one rejected for not being graphic enough. Go figure.
