Why I have not yet written a review

[HawaiianShirtGuy]

Late to the discussion... but this has been weighing on me.

I like the idea of reviewing and supporting the community, but have not written a full review as of yet. At first it was because all newbies seem to get called 'shills' if they start off writing something nice, and even the ladies I have seen that were not my absolute faves I still found enjoyable. Even my first local lady, whose unique set of restrictions seemed like a laundry list banning most everything I love to do (nothing to do with covered/bare, incidentally), was an enjoyable experience in her own right. I have no doubt she gave it her all, and I was delighted by what we did do.

I am also a bit different from the average guy. I orgasm, but often without spilling my load. Yes, guys like us do exist. It is great for keeping going, and reaching multiple orgasms, but at least a couple ladies seemed incredulous when (honestly) I told them I had orgasmed. I did. I have never lied about it.

I am also a giver - I enjoy genuinely being with a lady whom I can satisfy, whether I orgasm or not.

So put all these together, and I enjoy the experience, no matter if I cum or not. One lady had me on the edge of orgasm for possibly 10+ minutes or so (not sure how long, but it felt much longer than 10 minutes ) - I never quite did but the experience was so excruciating but also so delightful.

So it seems awkward to write up a review from my point of view when it seems so alien to what most guys experience and indeed what most ladies seem to expect, but also because I cannot get past the idea that putting certain intangibles into words will do disservice to the experience, and potentially to all involved. I started to write up a review several times (if only to brag - Talisha Cruze and Ella Will duo yesterday! Wooooo!), but no no avail. I feel completely out of step with the approach and assumptions I see in all the other reviews.

So I opted to write this.

You know you don't have to write a novel. Just tell if she's what she claims to be or is she advertising 20yrs old and 115lbs but turns out she looks more like 37 and weight 180.
Did she leave you hanging or was she on time. Start out light with details if that helps. Did she have a vagina or a penis, for example.

When a client gives me his handle and I check his posting history. If he posts a lot of reviews then I want to know if he is a high maintenance or low maintenance client. If he has no posts and joined yesterday. Nope ain't gonna happen. If he has been a long time member with no posts, i assume he just likes to use perb for references.

next I would wanna see from past comments if we would get along.

They do not have to be long reviews. they can be short. And do not feel pressured into writing any. This board is for reference. If you just make it a paragraph why it was fun for you (or why it wasn't) that would be sufficient pooner reference material in the future.

So I guess my advice to you would be to wait until you are ready and only use your handle when booking if you do not mind the lady seeing what you share on the board.

The simple answer I think is, if you don't want to write a review, then don't. If you want to write a review and need a structure then keep it basic but informative, maybe something along the lines of:

1) How did the booking go? Was it easy, was she professional, how did you book and give a link as to how others can find her.
2) How was the incall? Was it clean, upscale, easy to find, near public transit and maybe give a general location like Yaletown or Gastown.
3) How did the provider look? Did she match her pictures? Did she look better or worse?
4) Did she deliver services as advertised? You may also wish to comment as to her ability with specific services, like "OMG she was the best kisser ever" or "It was a enthusiastic but slightly teethy blowjob".
5) How was she to interact with in a non-sex way, was she chatty and open, or shy and introverted?
6) Were there any special requests or anything else that stood out about the session? Did she wear a White Queen Emma Frost costume?
7) Would repeat and recommend her?
8) How much was the session and for how long?
9) You can elect to give final L/A/S ratings but I think they are all subjective so they are kind of worthless to me.

Hopefully that gives you some kind of basic structure to start with and you don't have to make it a blow-by-blow penthouse letter.

I can see his perspective about the shilling etc. but at the same time, we don't need a novel for a review, some clients do that and that's cool, but whatever floats your boat. At the end of the say all I want to know is that you had a good time with me, was it worth your time and money spent? And when you say you'd repeat or not, that means you're basically saying, "yeah guys give her a call" or don't .. I'm not "review famous" like some ladies are and the majority of my clients have no clue what a review board is, but all of my reviews are pretty damn good if I must say so myself.

Everything in this industry is YMMV as far as I'm concerned, looks, attitude, etc. because what one might deem as being super hot, others may not, chemistry is always a HUGE factor and when the chemistry is questionable, services may not be up to par. Some people just don't click, that's life and a reasonable expectation. Not every guy I see is going to get his world rocked by me, but some do, it works the same otherwise.

 

[VanessaofBC]

I have said this before, I am not sure if it is on perb. But if you look at all the reviews it is usually the same people reviewing all the time. You take a look at all the members here, more than half do not review at all or probably have gone on to other venture in life an some do not participate, they are lurkers.
We see alot of men from here but not all obviously review.

So it is up to you to review a gal or not review, there is no rule that says you must review in order to be a member here. As for reviewing and your first review, and worried about being called a shill, just ignore that, sooy guys everyone seems to jump shill on every new reviewer, it is crazy.

Anyways Happy pooning, and this is just my observation and opinion. Others will think defferent.

I have had clients tell me that they have not had friendly experiences trying to participate on this board.

I understand where the OP is coming from. Writing a review isn't rocket science but it isn't the easiest thing to do either. It's been ages since I've written one. There are 3 reasons for this. One, i was in a relationship for the better part of a year, didn't see any SPs. Two, the ladies I did see I had already reviewed. Three, the ladies I saw had been reviewed by others on numerous occasions and I didn't feel another one would say anything different. Also, I'm not a details guy, although I do like to confirm whether certain services were/were not offered without being graphic.

 

[BORKO]

I have had clients tell me that they have not had friendly experiences trying to participate on this board.

Wow and all this from a guy who just joined in June 2013 with 172 posts total.... A great list of review expectations botany bay...

I don't know what they're talking about VanessaofBC, I feel the warm welcome already.

 

[BORKO]

Understandable HSG... no one like getting jumped all over. I've written over 50 reviews on here and have a lot of others posts. Had some fun, had some serious head shakes with responses on here afterwards. Too the point of getting time in perbatory.

Oh well #1 avoid the drama on here.

Just be yourself and let us know how the date went, time and cost,
How the lady looked and services provided and her restrictions.

Just keep it concise, no personal details, so Keep it light keep it flowing.

That's what I learned from this board.

I'd say that's sound advice.

Also, to HawaiianShirtGuy, one thing to add to my list:

10) If a SP ever provides you with some thing extra, it is proper to keep to yourself, be it a special service, extra sensual time or extra social time. Don't fall victim to the need to brag about it on the internet. You were special enough to get that service so keep it between the two of you.

 

[PuntMeister]

Congrats on your first review. Yes, you kinda just did one. Now get over yourself and just tell us your experiences with ladies. If others reviews have been valuable to you, then you owe it to others to contribute back regardless of whatever reservations or risks you may endure. We have all been there. Stay horny my friend.

 

[rickoshadows]

I haven't written many reviews lately although I have written a number in the past. (Most are now only available in the PERB archives). The hardest review to write is about an average session and , admittedly I pass on those. If the session was great or poor, there is more to say. Just stick to the facts and clearly indicate which parts are your opinion. Sometimes the chemistry is just not there, but if the girls was pleasant and tried to provide all services as indicated in her adverts, then say that. Other times, the chemistry makes an average session outstanding in your mind, the reason for the ymmv caution. On occasion, I have looked back on a session, where the chemistry worked, the stars aligned and my mind was blown, even though neither of us did anything to each other that was really out of the ordinary.

There are many first time reviews that I have seen that have the ring of truth and rarely do they get jumped on. If you read through a number of reviews yourself before you write your own, you will start to see some of the patterns that trigger the shill accusations. And while our reviews are providing a service to are fellow pooners and perhaps a boost to deserving SPs, the real reason most of us write them is because this is one of the few places you can actually boast of your sexual adventures with professionals.

Go ahead and write your review, because at the end of the day, who really cares what a bunch of anonymous dicks on the internet think. As for the ladies, they have enough other issues to deal with than giving grief over an honest assessment.

well pardner, i just happen to have a bit of experience with this particular field

and i can tell you that experienced board members can easily tell a shill review (or self review) from a bona fide pooner review

it's a matter of the wording - that is, do guys REALLY talk like that to other guys about sexual experiences?

also the ratings, i mean 10's across the board? really...

give it a shot, you'll soon find out if you write like a woman or not... ound:

There is newbie then there is "newbie"....that is all my friend

 

[wilde]

I think people can and will draw their conclusions as to whether this member is "new" or not. His behavior so far is relatively "tolerable" and less obnoxious than "you know who" who was just banned again for the Nth time. Let's see how long this one lasts...

interesting information

definitely will use this in retrospective , if i ever decide to indulge.

 

[Mike_200]

One of the reasons why I don't give a review is that I use the same name when booking a SP as on here. I really didn't think that was a problem when I joined here, but now I feel it is. I should have used another name on here so that I could post freely on the experience that I had etc. Some of the SP know who I am and can't end up posting a true review about them. Hope that makes sense !
I did email the mod and asked him to change my name they replied and I asked to change my name to anything put they didn't I guess I will change in the knew future and contribute to the board.

 

[sevenofnine]

You know some guys are uncomfortable reading reviews of their favorite ladies.

i think reviews are bragging rights; Look at what I just did.

And two marketing for the lady.

I have been in this hobby too long to give a dam about any of it.

 

[PlayfulAlex]

...i think reviews are bragging rights; Look at what I just did.

Not always, but often...yes

 

[grusse]

Not always, but often...yes

rdg a rev where the OP refers to his "six-pack abs" or "awesome pecs" or huge "girth of Johnson", is quite humorous.

these sorry individuals probably think they are impressing the reader,while in truth we are laughing AT them and their delusions.
