The BCD is only available to premium access members. The idea is to contribute to the community in the way of reviews in order to see the BCD area's of reviews. Each approved review gets 6 weeks of premium access.

This is just me, but when I am meeting a new gent, I do a little research on him other than just the quick two reference thumbs up approval. I check if he has written reviews. And based on what I am allowed to see, I look into what he is into. So in a sense for myself, when a hobbyist writes reviews, I can get a feel for what he is looking for. And he is kind of writing a review of him self as well as his provider.

The whole "ROS" doesn't bother myself. I am different with each gent. And I like to change the menu with them as we meet more and more. Willing to try new experiences. I have only ever read 2 full reviews. Like how I said, a hobbyist I see, sends a copy when they have submitted the review. It is a learning tool for my self. His first review on me, I got a few pointers. I was newly indie and wasn't at an all time best. So I read his kind words and saw little hints of improvement and have hopefully improved on those areas.

I know a few hobbyist have said that they write the review not to help the woman provider get more or new business but to remember the meeting. To keep onto that little piece of memory.

I gave my reasons for writing reviews here: http://www.eccie.net/showthread.php?t=23558

I've written reviews in the past...but in general I never write them for many reasons. I too could care less for premium access as well seeing that I get all my info from reviews based on non-BCD commentary and info.

I know that when I came aboard here I wrote One review but did not/do not believe in the need for "ROS" personally. Because I did not post "sufficient" ROS commentary it did not pass for credit nor as a a review statistic for that matter associated with my profile. Because of this exact scenario is another reason why I do not write reviews because it's pointless for me to do reviews If on my profile it never reflects the fact I even write them because they will all be denied as I do not write "ROS" commentary. So under that scenario a provider if (as Brooke mentioned she may do) looking for reviews by me my never find them...or by looking at stats on my profile it would denote I have no reviews even though its not the case...I have done reviews but never qualified for premium access cause of my personal opinions on not including ROS as well as not getting a statistical credit for my effort as well.

So while ROS and reviewing may help coax reviewing with the rewards of possible BCD... In a case such as mine for the reasons I've mentioned it just furthers my stance on not to do it cause I will not compromise my thoughts that ROS is between provider and client just for the sake of a review stat. But I will admit it would be a hindrance if providers were looking for reviews/review counts by me if they were looking for them. But like I'm saying I'm not about to compromise my feelings about BCD activity for a number count or stats.

My real feelings.............I have nothing against reviews that give a thumbs up or thumbs down. I am against details of the session and feel the session ends when the session ends. An escort gets paid for her time, and it should not continue on forever for whomever to read and get off on. I think it is exploitation and an escort should be paid royalties!!!!

You can always ask that a review not be written. I would think guys would respect your request as long as he is walking away feeling like it was a good session. I try to spend a few moments before walking out the door to get a sense of how the woman feels about reviews.

You would think so, but there are some who do not honor that request because a review means free membership. Not all are like you!!!

I'm making this assumption based on what we observed when one of the local providers had to go UTR for a long time and no one wrote reviews although she still was able to see men.

There's another local provider that has an outstanding reputation and you almost never see a review on her. I have been told that she asks guys not to write reviews.

Then there's a woman in Buffalo that was very freaked out that by having a review written, her incall at her house would come under possible vice threats. So, no one wrote reviews.

I'd like to think most guys just need to know what the woman wants and we almost all know that despite what women seem to think, WE CANNOT READ MINDS.

You would know better than I would. I've never asked someone to not write a review on me.

LOL Now, let's not turn this into a man vs. woman thing as in "We cannot read minds". Of course, there is no mind reading involved. It's stated up front and firmly. I'm talking about men who say OK and then do what they want! Good grief, man!!!! By the way, I am not referring to this site.
