Rants, Raves & Opinions

[Mizunate]

What the hell is the deal with these providers who won't give you menu or even rates before you see them? I'm definitely not going to see you if you don't tell me the services you provide, and how am I supposed to know what I'm supposed to pay you without rate info? I should bring 50 bucks with me and see what happens! I even had one who I had set an appointment with who, when I asked for her address, she told me it was on the ad. No, all it says is SE Portland. That's a pretty big area, dolt. When she wouldn't tell me, I just told her to forget about it, that her games were too much trouble. No wonder these girls are always complaining about not making money, they are the worst salespeople in the world.

I think a lot of providers on TNA are gaslit into thinking LE is watching the board / them specifically, and any hobbyist could be LE.

There's a prevalent attitude about 'companionship' and not breaking one TNA rule which is "thou shalt not prostitute" - so they agree to hang out, sort of, but often nothing more.

Spam and a site being hacked are very different. If you don't want to receive messages you can turn that off. You can also only choose to get messages from your "contacts".

Yes, I know how to control my inbox. While I was spammed by a bot of sorts, that may well be indicative of a site issue not recognizing bots becoming members.

Regardless thanks for your correction and advice on hitting buttons.

Got a PM from a "regular member" with zero posts. Message read: "Hi" and then it said go to (link) for babes.

Member's handle was orlandozumen.

Thank you for the responses. I'm setting down a bit; I tend towards neuroticism in general and am less concerned with covid than I am with other orally transmitted diseases. But all I can do now is wait out the incubation period.

Happy hunting out there to you all. That was my first venture out, and I may have learned I don't have the risk tolerance for the hobby.

One important thing to understand is that covid is an airborne transmissioned disease. It's more about airborne particles, and where they land, followed by touching your face with said particles.

Question for this crowd, as I need a third party to help me out here.

I tried out a body rub tonight thinking it would be nice to get a massage that covered my entire body. Near the end of it the provider climbed on top and then, I think, may have completed the experience verbally. I say I think because my vision was obstructed, and I couldn't see my lower half.

I was under the impression that the experience would be driven solely through the art of hands, and now I'm concerned about the potential for health risks as no barrier methods were utilized.

The ending was quick so that hopefully helps reduce exposure, but I'm still concerned about the potential for skin-to-skin viral transfers.

Can anyone shed some words of wisdom? This was my first experience, and I'm completely rattled.

Thank you.

I have to admit this is some grade A shit stirring right here. You're afraid of getting covid yet you went for a rub and tug?

Can't tell if it was pussy or mouth? Wow!

I didn't read a concern about the corona virus. But, as someone already covered std sources, the risk would be lowish. Having a kn-95 (Chinese) or Korean 99 mask are your best available protections as it's an airborne virus. The weakness of the masks are air gaps around the mask. Also whether they're legit as counterfeits have been flooding the market for about a year now. The 'rona can live on surfaces but there aren't studies, that I'm aware of, showing a strong likelihood of transmission through the urethra. Definitely not through the skin itself. The fact she was facing away from you and it was quick would help some.

'Rona is more likely to be caught in the room due to lack of air circulation / filtering and weaker masks and air gaps. Also through eyes or nose if you don't wash your hands and then touch your face.

Hopefully all the bases were covered for. Congrats on the awesome experience and hope you're all good. If you want to feel at ease, get tested in a couple of weeks for the stds. People don't always show symptoms.

Dude, first of all, thanks for your response to my earlier post seeking help creating and / or cataloging a robust TDL (one superior to the limited functionality of TNA). What you suggested sounds amazing but also far more complicated than I imagined.

Secondly, I laughed when I read A2's comment! It' a fair point: one seeks a HE massage, receives said release, and expresses fear and alarm, after the fact, that safety protocols might have been breached. (I think most of us have been there at some point during our hobbying.) Based on what you wrote, you remained masked but the provider possibly removed her mask and engaged in translated or untranslated French? I think your anxiety revolves around the risk of an STI as opposed to the risk of coronavirus. Below are some online resources for you.

BTW, in my rare searches for Portland AMPs with extras, I've had zero success. Good on you for finding one that delivers. I'm going to return to the Seattle forum now where I belong. But you Portland guys are great.

Actually, I used all the usual ones: LC, STG, adultsearch even. It's not necessarily the sites you use, but how the providers are upfront with what they offer and their attitude. I've gotten really good at recognizing legitimate posts and vetting providers because Portland is the most difficult place to do it.

This site has excellent information in the Florida sections.

[JJohnJack]

What website did you use to find ladies?

I too am sick of the far left lunatics here. Thats on top of the land whales charging $400.

I've been thinking along the same lines: review sites (or at least some of their content) seem unreliable. Disregarding YMMV situations--many of them--is there a decent piece of software to catalog our collective or individual thoughts and experiences with providers? For example, I'd like to find something relatively simple to keep track of providers, their cities, their rates, their services, their profile photos, contact details, etc..

Specifically, as I've scoured the profiles in SA, as well as other sites, I've considered using Excel or Access to create a central, unified database or spreadsheet that has the details that are important to me. But that might be way more trouble than it's worth. And, obviously, the damn thing would be incredibly incriminating if an SO found it--I don't hobby when I have an SO--but it would be oh-so useful, too. Imagine joining SA for a month, collecting a bunch of attractive member profiles, beginning conversations with them outside the SA environment, and discontinuing your SA membership when you'd accumulated enough to keep you busy for a while.

Suggestions?

P.S. I normally post on the Seattle board and I'm going to post the same request there.

I could probably build this (I'm back end so the front end may not be pretty), but I think there are a couple considerations:

1. Hosting. Got to make sure the domain registrar, host, and cdn are no us based unless the site is squeaky clean.

2. How will the site make money to stay afloat since non US based is a bit more expense.

3. What sites to scrape for sources? I'll probably write an ml model to do unsupervised clustering (also supervised classification after some data is collected) to try and identify providers across sites. (It would be interesting to get the velocity of provider dimensions like number changes, location changes. Could predict their future movements and price variations locally and globally).

4. What mechanism of social weight to give to reports? Who will we trust about robs, bait-and-switch, etc. ? Probably it would be interesting for form a distribution of reviews by user name, and then you could choose users you specifically trust because their reviews are similar to yours, and then get a "total" distribution alongside your "followed-users" dimension.

5. Potentially could make a "contest" jackpot where users can contribute nominal money to, collectively getting it disbursed to a single contributing user to go do boots-on-the-ground investigation of new users. That is more long term, and it has to be a contest since lotteries are illegal.

Those are my top-of-the-mind thoughts. Not sure if any are worthwhile.

Hey long time lurker here.

I was just thinking to myself, why on earth has someone NOT put together a actual list of top quality providers? With the shitty providers flooding the ad sites, its get.

1# Give good service (worth the money).

2# are drug free.

3# are really independent.

4# have good working policies (no up charging, won't be a *** if you reschedule, provide better service / BBFS for regulars).
