After further reflection . . . OK, you've convinced me. I guess I'm not really sure if reviews (that is, their content, not the mere fact of their existence) are useful to me.
I've thought in the past that they
can provide insights into the lady's personality, intelligence, attitude, etc. as well as the ambience and atmosphere of the incall. Sure, I may be able to get insights about that from a website, an add, or banter on a P4P board, but it's always nice to get a third party's opinion based on meeting her in person. Some ladies are not the same in person as they appear electronically.
But few reviews manage to do that effectively.
And, while a graphic recitation of sex acts is not very useful -- unless there is some commonly available but not available with her, or the reader is interested for something beyond the items commonly available -- I've thought in the past that a discussion
can provide insights into, for want of a better phrase, her sexual style. Is she shy and passive, or aggressive and take-charge? Is she soft, slow, and sensual, or more "give it to me hard, baby"? Does she like to chat for awhile, or rip your clothes off as you enter the door?
But reviews probably are colored too much by the reviewer's style, to the point that they don't necessarily reflect the subtleties and nuances of what really happened. Consider them the sexual version of
Rashomon.
Even if I maintain that naive belief of what reviews
could be . . . I don't act in accordance with that belief. I haven't been looking for new ladyfriends recently anyway. But my Premium Access here, VIP status on TER, etc. have lapsed and I'm not motivated to pay (or review) to get them back. So I'll retract my previous statements; evidently, reviews really
aren't useful/necessary, at least for me. It's very difficult to tell whether I will really "click" with a given lady without having read reviews, but reading reviews doesn't necessarily improve the odds. I take back all that stuff I've said before.
But, since I'm not the only guy out there, if a lady I see asks for a review, I'll still write one. Not otherwise. Assuming that it's a positive experience (and in recent years, they virtually all have been), it should be her choice. What about other P4P clients? They're entitled to information about bad service, but if she's great, I don't feel an obligation to share the information with other guys contrary to her (presumed) wishes. that's been my policy for a few years now.
