My dragged out opinions
Wow - this post has generated a lot of diverse comments and opinions - which is the purpose of this board in the first place, and everybody is entitled to their opinion - be they right, wrong or indifferent to the many readers.
erotic-exotica, good for you to have the courage to post your "Just an opinion" comments, knowing full well that they would have a vast variety of replies, - some agreeing with you, some not. With all due sincere respect to you, my following comments may not agree with your "thought train" - hell, many of you probably won't agree. Just remember that they are just my opinions. ( I promise to stay respectful, no bashing or foul language.)
I didn't read much passion, comfort level, enjoyment or pleasure that you may be achieving in your chosen profession.
I interpret this post as addressing 3 topics: PRICING, RATING and REVIEWS.
You wrote: "Are you aware that you are renting someone's body with the purpose of using it for your sexual pleasure." You highlighting the your sexual pleasure, does that indicate that you receive no pleasure from your profession??
Also Sweetie, please don't loose sight of the fact that you chose to "rent" your body for your financial gains, and I hope they are very rewarding.
Also, I never, ever think that this is a purchase of a human being - not even for an hour or two. For me, when I am in the company of a sexy, classy SP, I exchange money for the pleasure of having a fantasy, desire or need fulfilled, and hopefully a little chemistry as well. After a lot of pooning, I am pleased to say that I have found 1 or 2 favorites, and the only time the word "purchase" enters my mind is when I'm shopping for a small gift of appreciation for the SP.
I truly respect your and every other SPs courage and willingness to provide a much needed service that so many of us pooners greatly appreciate. Each day must bring a new challenge to you, dealing with the unknown characteristics, behavior, demands and physical attributes of a new client. (If I had been born with tits and a pussy, I for sure would not have the courage to handle your profession.)
erotic-exotica, you write that 90% of the SPs you know suffer from some type of problem, drug problems, alcohol, sell-esteem and eating disorder, and it's a consequence that goes with the job. Wow, I'm not saying that there aren't SP, that fall in that category, but 90% ??? (I wonder how many of the ladies that communicate or advertise on this board would agree with that)
Shit, all this rambling and I still haven't addressed the PRICING, RATING and REVIEW.
PRICING: I think that a lady should be able to charge whatever she thinks her service, menu, attitude and physical attributes could command, but she will quickly find out what the market will bear, and to be successful, may have to adjust her rates. A standard rate of $300 is as unworkable as a standard rate for a large variety of different meals at different restaurants. Us pooners have the option of searching out a SP that is within our price range. We may not always get what we want for what we are willing to pay, but that's life. I would love to see one of those $1000hr. SPs that have a huge rack, a 22 inch waist and a fantastic round ass, offer everything imaginable and have the oral skills to suck a whole strawberry though a straw, but my wallet says no.
Ladies, I realize that you are in a very high risk business, but your financial rewards are nothing to sneeze at.
If you charge $300hr., have just 3 clients a day, 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year = $225.000 TAX FREE.
A regular professional has to earn around $500.000 to take home $225.000.
With the above calculation you work 9 hours a week, the other pro. most likely works that many hours a day.
And by the way ladies, speaking from personal experience and the great time I've had with classy SPs, to me, you're worth the dollars.
RATING. I personally like the number ratings. Granted, the posters opinion on service, attitude and looks are his own and may vary from mine, but it is a good measuring stick to start with, particular if the same high or low numbers are repeated in other posts or threads about the same SP. Besides, there are dozens of industries that use a numbering or star system to evaluate services or products.
REVIEWS: erotic-exotica, you wrote: "Basically I'd just like to see men state how much he paid and what he received for his fee and leave it up to another to form their own opinion." I wouldn't even consider that a valid review. With a bit of research, we can all find out the fee we are expected to pay and what services to expect.
I think a review should be honest and to the point. If we were happy with our rendezvous, received the service we paid for and had a better than expected sensual experience, a nice review is warranted. But not every rendezvous turns out that way, and bad reviews are as valuable to us pooners as good ones.
Refraining from using vulgar or insulting language, lets call a spade a spade. If you don't get what you were led to believe you'd get, tell us. Full GFE, but actually no kissing or DATY allowed, tell us. Much older than advertised, pictures not resembling the SP, rushed and or lousy attitude, terrible BJ skills, dirty and smelly place, or heavens forbid, lady, and on and on. Any of those should be pointed out in the review without pulling any punches,and if it upsets the lady in the review, tough luck.
And that's also why I prefer this to actual real life dating right now. You guys are waaaaay nicer when you are paying, believe it or not.
