I've now seen quite a few ladies and have to admit:

One young lady had quite a bit of cellulite (not visible in her pics) and I never had direct experience with that before. A voice in my head was shouting "Cellulite! Ah! No! Run away! Noooo!" As we got going, my view was blocked but I made the deliberate point of stroking her there and I didn't feel a thing. Smooth and not cheesy to the touch. Now the voice in my head is all confused and asking, "Where's the cellulite?" so I feel around a little more, squeezing and stroking like I'm looking for something. In the meantime, the lady is doing a great job making me feel welcome, comfortable and pampered. Then the voice in my head sort of shut up. Cellulite may be unattractive to the eye but it's not so important to enjoying the experience with a good partner.

I arranged to see a lady based on a couple of her fantastic posed pics. She looked so beautiful that I just wanted to trace that curve down her back to her bum to her thigh to her toes; to run a finger around the folds of that earlobe. I got there and while the pics were real, her face (blurred in the pic) was not the prettiest I've seen. But she was incredible, one of those mind-readers who could almost anticipate and accommodate everything I wanted. (I'm not kinky alphabet soup guy; I'm pretty traditional. But I prefer it when a girl moves around or rolls over just when I want without me having to hear myself actually asking for some things. And I am definitely not from the "dish rag" school of hobbying where some guys seem to be able to toss a girl around with physical and emotional ease.) I've seen her a few more times and I can't get enough of that face: kissing, stroking, caressing. She won't make the cover of Cosmo but I'd rather spend my time looking at her nose-to-nose than at a glossy photoshopped magazine cover.

There are other "imperfections" that I've learned to ignore or enjoy in the context of the overall greater experience. I can better understand some of the "mismatched" couples I see in public: good looking guy or girl with an, uh, maybe not so good looking SO, if you know what I mean. (Hottie + fatty; hottie + splotchy; hotty + notty)

By the way, I'm a notty, not a hottie. Maybe there's hope for me yet?

Why no reviews?
They only serve to help out other members.
That's why there's a database for you to do your research from.

I'm actually waiting for the mod to approve my earlier post about submitting reviews.

I've tried to post some reviews but without success. I tried to post some "mini-reviews" to my local forums but the mods on those boards haven't approved those, either. I guess I haven't found the right level of detail to use in the forums to avoid a meaningless "Abbondaza! Highly recommended!" and the unpostable explicitness.

at least for me, anyways.

Without the hobby, I doubt if I would ever be attracted to anyone other than a Vogue model, because that is the standard on all the mass media for sexual attraction.

By meeting with and making love to real women with everything from cellulite to tats to (Name your own previous taboo imperfection.) I have learned to love better and more openly than I could have otherwise.

It is one of my favorite things about this hobby.

Some hobbyist want to always stick with the young good looking 10s, and that's cool; but until you try something new, you'll never know what you might be missing out on.

And your points about how sexy it is to have a gal who just knows how to respond to you is right on.  No one is born knowing how to do that.  It comes from years of applying their wonderful craft, just like in any artistic field of endeavor.

I would put myself in the "nottie" catagory like Impposter. This is partly why I have tried the hobbie.

I agree with you both. I have always found the petite and toned girls to be the the most attractive to me visually and that is probably partly due to everything you see in the media. However, while I am not super experienced, I have found that some of the more average sized women are way more pleasing to the other senses in real life. I like to look into a woma's eyes and when I am doing that, I easily forget about any imperfections.

I know I'll get crap for this line I heard in a movie once but I'm going to say it anyway since Valentine's day is coming up and all. "You know you love someone when you love them because of their flaws and not in spite of them." While I know the hobbie is NOT about love, I believe this still applies to a lesser extent.
