I think it will be really interesting to see how the different parties interpreted the event, and fodder for some interesting conversation on the board (thus posting in Co-ed instead of ISO). The point really is to admit that our memories are fallible and appreciate that our perspectives can be very different and yet both positive.

Hey I can save you a bunch of time. I will make it quite simple. Let's start with point our interpretations are vastly different.
This is obvious, everyone has a different perspective on any singular event. This is due to heuristics. Everyone has different life experiences and then judges/problems solves on their stereotypical answers of those life experiences.
SIMPLE EXAMPLE. Provider is gorgeous but the first thing she does is fart loudly. Joe Blow's life experience is farters are usually uncouth, unkempt people thus already his initial impression is colored a certain way.
The provider thinks Hey I had to fart everyone does it, culturally it is no big deal for me, it shouldn't be a big deal for him.
Okay so test our memories against the footage, our interpretations of the event can change and even with the questions asked. This is called priming. The way a question was asked can color the event.
Example. For this fantasy video when you all got really hot and heavy how did it make you feel about blah blah blah.
Well now you primed a certain section of the video for the expectation that their interpretation about the event should be it was hot and heavy even if it wasn't.
This can actually change their own recollection and compromise what they believe. They could now rationalize and say yeah I guess it was hot and heavy when before they did not believe it was.
Memory recollection IS fallible. WE have to encode this and this process is sensitive to stressful conditions. (Such as a nervous first encounter)
Then store it, yet again many variables can affect proper storage of memories and accuracy stuff like abundance of glial cells in an individual.
Then finally retrieving the memory. Which is done by certain cues and stimuli. WE DO NOT RECORD MEMORY LIKE A VIDEOTAPE.
We can actually imprint false memories into a person by retelling a fictitious event enough times.
So yeah, look now you don't have to do this I already have your conclusion.
Plus seriously a person would have to be a bit....well.... documenting every facet of a fantasy encounter for a stranger to then just have some message board discussion is a bit crazy.
The risks FAR outweigh any possible reward.
An Alternative?
