What specific adjustments would you like to see implemented?

[Obvio-0bvio]

Here is an engaging thread that I believe could greatly aid in pinpointing areas for enhancement within the interactions between service providers and customers in the sex industry. What specific adjustments would you like to see implemented or improved for service providers, agencies, massage parlors, independent workers, clients, and so forth? Service providers are welcome to participate in this discussion and share their suggestions for improvements when it comes to clients.

Personally, I believe it would be beneficial to implement a policy where service providers refrain from working during their menstrual cycle to prioritize their well-being and maintain a clean environment for customers. I have experienced situations where blood stains on the bed and myself, It has been a major turn-off and unpleasant experience.

Additionally, I suggest including more detailed information about service providers under their descriptions on the agency website , such as GFE, PSE, YMMV, Party girl, new in the business etc along with any restrictions and menu offerings. While some agencies have already incorporated certain details, providing additional information could offer customers a clearer understanding and help them determine if the service meets their requirements.

I am sorry to announce to you that this can happen even outside of menstruation periods.

Thanks for the thread, Obvio!

On this particular point, I'm quite sure that 99% of SPs do not work while on their periods. But there is also the fact that some of them don't have their periods regularly so it may happen out of the blue. Not their fault.

Then there are those who will let the client know that they're on their periods, but they're willing to offer other "alternatives" to such guys like me. It doesn't mean that I'm accepting though... sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

Thank you for your thoughtful response. It may come as a surprise to learn that a notable percentage of service providers employ the use of a sponge during their menstrual cycle. While I do not suggest that all service providers engage in this practice, I can confirm that at least 10% of them do utilize a sponge. This observation is based solely on my experience and is intended to highlight the need for certain adjustments.

I acknowledge that menstruation can occur unexpectedly during an encounter, which is beyond the control of the service provider. My focus is specifically on those who conscientiously use a sponge and are mindful of their menstrual cycle. Your input is valued, and I appreciate your response.

Hi Giselle, As I mentioned to our friend , @AirBo , my focus was primarily on service providers who utilize a sponge. Your input is valued, and I thank you for your response.

When I worked as an sp for an agency and now as an independent I wear the today sponge brand as it contains spermicide and is an extra barrier of protection, I wear it all the time and do not work during my period. Some of us cannot tolerate most forms of hormonal birth control, so not all sponge wearers are using it for menstrual protection.

some of us specifically seek this out and many SPs provide it. the only complaint i have is when an SP cancels last minute even when i have no problem with it

There was one time i was sitting at the incall and it started during my shower and she told me she was done for the day.

Additionally, I suggest including more detailed information about service providers under their descriptions on the agency website , such as GFE, PSE, YMMV, Party girl, new in the business etc along with any restrictions and menu offerings.

I'm ok with agencies not providing any information. Height/weight is good enough for me. When you provide too much information, especially when descriptions like PSE/party girl/etc, you get demanding clients that get angry when an SP doesn't want to provide specific services to them. I have heard SP stories where clients got irritated that they were denied extra services. No need for those headaches. Want those services, then just ask

One thing I would like to see are more selfie shots and less professional shots. Sometimes bookers send them, and some used to post them in the selfie thread. Gives a much better idea of what an SP actually looks like than professional photos

Hello, my friend. Your statement is well said, and I respect your opinion. I agree with the importance of cancellations, but if the service provider cancels ahead of time, it is not a major issue.

However, if they cancel an hour or two before the appointment, it can be a significant inconvenience for the customer, especially if they have made arrangements such as booking a hotel.

The same applies in reverse; both independent workers and agencies dislike last-minute cancellations, but if done a day before, it is generally acceptable for all parties involved.

As for menu details, if you are unable to provide what you mention on the menu, it is best not to mention it to avoid any confusion.

Some service providers may choose to list details on the menu to attract more customers . I believe adding accurate information on the menu is a great idea to prevent disappointment for customers and ensure they have a clear understanding of what to expect from the service providers.

Hello, I appreciate the clarification, and I will not waste time arguing with you because, as a female, you are more knowledgeable than me about the use of the sponge. However, can we agree that service providers do use the sponge for menstrual purposes?

also under the clean environment umbrella, not a new topic... proof of showering in between calls.

I feel like adding detailed "menu items" is a slippery slope.

1. We should all be aware that in this hobby YMMV!
2. The interpretation of services (for example GFE vs PSE and LFK vs DFK) varies greatly. It differs from provider to provider and from client to client
3. As much as SPs will try to provide the best service no matter who the client is, they will still be (even if just subconsciously) be more attracted to one than the other which can have an impact on the entire encounter


What could be interesting is a standardized review / rating system for SPs with a number of different criteria with concrete examples of what categories as a 2/10 vs a 9/10. Removing as much subjectivity from a review as possible.
Another benefit would be for the reviewer to share a similar form about themselves (e.g. age, preference, experience in the hobby) as it helps set the expectation for other clients.

The person reading the reviews would be able to position himself between the two extremes and figure out what experience he can likely get:

Client 1: Guy is between 45-50 and the SP in question is his ATF. They have seen each other for the past 4 years and she offers greek to him.
Client 2: Pablo the Beaver Basher - 19 years of age. New to the hobby. Was not offered anal.

I would like an "I am available today" page
sure everybody prefers to plan in advance, but I think the option can be helpful

Your points were quite intriguing, particularly the suggestion to implement a standardized review and rating system. Additionally, proposing that reviewers share information about themselves to assist in setting expectations for other clients was well-articulated and thoughtfully expressed.

I agree with you. Additionally, it would be beneficial to include a more precise timeline availability feature. This feature could indicate the available time slots for the day and also highlight when service providers are already booked. I believe this addition would be advantageous and save time for both the booker and the client. There are several adjustments that could be made concerning agencies, service providers, and customers. With some tweaks from all parties, the overall experience could be seamless and hassle free.
