Naming no names, however ........

[WillyWanka]

...... I'm the quiet observer type but feel compelled to say or ask the following.

In relatively recent times I've watched more than one of our fair ladies follow a trend of opening up their whole lives on this site. By that I mean posting a blow by blow account of their daily life's experiences, uploading pictures of themselves in off duty scenarios and generally almost using the E-I forums as their own personal diary.

It stirs something uncomfortable up inside me. I'm sorry for being blunt but to me, this site is a means by which men can connect with women who are both willing to enter into a transaction and then walk away. What I appear to be witnessing though is a step or two beyond that whereby things almost go beyond a transaction towards an opening up of personal relationships that have apparently come about between some boys and the girls on this site. Please - don't ask me to give examples at this point because if I had the time I could give tens of them and I think any regular poster on here knows what I'm talking about.

So what's happening ? Where are we going ? Are we to take it that this site has become pretty much a public text message service between people who have struck up some sort of "relationship" with each other and they're proud of it ? People talking in code with a wink and a nudge to each other and a mildly veiled implication that in the background there is more than meets the eye going on between people ?

I've been reading these boards since they were invented. And I've only got one thing to say about more recent developments:



Things just aren't like they used to be. And there was nothing wrong with things as they used to be.

I've said on a number of occations , if people don't like it don't view it .

People are adults here and it's their choice to give off what info they feel comfortable with .
I do get the gist of your point , but I think we've a good community here now ,
and I for one don't want to revisit the good old days you speak off .: doc

It might be a good community doc, people can say all the lovely things they like but you never know who's following the boards or who's behind the username. Plenty of Wolves in Sheeps clothing. Surely everyone can agree on that!

Prostitutes are the most common targets for serial killers so my concern is for the ladies safety more than anything. I worry a great deal about how open some people are as it puts them into unnecessary danger.

I've always thought sex work is similar to working on the rigs - we're paid danger money. It's not all flowers, candles, passionate moments and lovely times. Reality can be very different.

I agreewith both niram and EnglishAlex. This isn't a Facebook site and, while its their own personal choice at the end of the day, sharing such personal info such as your movements and photo's publicly in my opinion isn't a good idea.

And I think the old adage....if you don't like it don't look at it.. is a bit lame. That's akin to the elephant in the room senario. Of course your gonna see it and read it. I'm not saying ppl can't be friends here but the personal stuff should stay in pm outta prying eyes. That's all. Safety privacy and security should come first at all times

[WillyWanka]

Agree with nitram, Alex and Joe. Please nobody insult me by suggesting that if I don't like it then move on because that is lame, to put it mildly.

The reason it makes me uncomfortable as the guys have said is because of the danger element. No it's not offensive as someone else said, it's just unnecessary courting the danger element. These boards can be read by the whole world, rich and poor, young and old, sane an insane. Why would you put yourself further into the line of danger when you don't need to ? This job is risky as it is.

It seems to me there are two issues here, one the posting of personal stuff, i.e. I love sunny days because they remind me of my dog etc etc, and two the possibility of being "outed" by something you post either escort or client. I have no issue with personal stuff appearing, even if the seeming relationship makes me jealous as hell, but it is at the end of the day nothing but online flirting. OK some guys may be showing off that they know a bit more about a lady or have a special connection, so what. The second issue however is common sense. We are all participating in an anonymous forum where anonymity is the key. Do not post anything that would give you away, in other words if you are the star of avatar don't mention it in public as we will all spend our days looking for the guy with the blue face, inane grin and gorgeous lady on his arm.

I guess what I am saying is no harm a bit of personal posting, but be aware of your security, ladies be very careful what you post as there are some, probably not even registered here who will take your info and compromise your security and none of us want to see that.

I've not been about the site that long but what I read was that touting is against the rules and I totally agree with this. What I take from the OP is that this is just another covert way of touting. Some femmes think they are being smart and doing it in an unseen way but sadly this is not the case.

I've got to admit, I see it instantly but some of you guys fall hook, line and sinker for it. When a femme blinks her eyelashes then the cock reacts and the brain goes out of normal action and you believe all the 'palaver' these femmes feed you. I really sometimes want to scream 'can you not see what she is doing' but that is not my place.

I don't want to offend anyone but it is so blatant it ain't real. Covert or blatant touting is still against the rules. Don't fall for it guys.

I think it is about knowing where to draw the line. I also sometimes smart at some of the men on this site who divulge information about their mental state and depression. This leaves them so open to abuse by unscrupulous and predatory ladies. Not all the ladies are whiter than white, in the same way not all the men are and you don't have to be a contributor of the forums to be reading them.
