To the disappointment of many users here I'm sure, my reviews are purposefully vague in certain ways. For example, I don't really do "play-by-plays" and I'm selective about which acronyms I share. Understandably, that invites follow up questions. The questions I receive are no different from the ones you'd see on any review thread. The user is reaching out to me privately for any number of reasons (e.g., they are shy to ask out in the open, they want answers more tailored to their specific needs/interests, or they're sensitive to the reputational effect of the SP if the answer to their question is negative and posted on their public review thread). Sometimes they are on the fence about seeing a provider or just need one more nudge to reach out. (Sometimes it's me that's reaching out). Like I said, I don't answer everyone or every question and I would never respond to a question about an SP's personal life (have yet to receive one). If an SP has a NRP and has made it known that they don't wish to be discussed on a message board, I honor that.
Here's a sample of the kinds of questions that come in: "does she do DFK?", "is she into kinky stuff?", or "how did you find her face/rear/breasts/etc?".
If I choose to respond, I caveat everything I say heavily such that the questioner understands that 1) YMMV applies and 2) my answer is based on my own subjective experiences and opinions (so as not to plant false expectations).
I should also note that I come away from every encounter with an SP caring about them and their well-being to some degree, including those with whom I didn't have a good experience (a super rare occurrence, fortunately for me). I would never knowingly share anything that I believed could endanger them. Tell me why you think answering such questions could endanger an SP's safety?
As for messing with an SP's business, I can see the case for that. However, 1) I don't believe I have the influence to single-handedly hurt an SP's business by answering questions from random MERB users like "does she DFK?" and 2) I do due diligence on every SP I see and rarely ever come away disappointed from a session (which is why my reviews are rarely negative), so my answers are typically favorable to the SP. I can't know for sure, but to the extent my answers are nudging clients on the fence about a provider to book her, I suppose I would be helping an SP's business, no? If in a hypothetical response I share that I received no anal (for the record, I'm not into anal) and CBJ because the SP has a CBJ-policy and that's enough to turn a prospective client away, I suppose I cost the SP's business, but is that the kind of client the SP wants business from? If I'm hurting an SP's business, which I don't believe to be the case, I don't think I'm doing so anymore than their review thread is.
