You are not taking into account the human urge to be sated by a dominant person, all rational behaviour can go out the window in place of satisfaction. That is where the unscrupulous con-domme can come into play. Now ofcourse we all know that reviews as i said before are subjective but the fact that other people have been to see them and bothered to comment can show the potential paying sub that atleast she is tired and tested as opposed to a con artist. yes one domme may not be your cuppa, various factors could inhibit your play at the time but thats a seperate discussion. Reviews and possibly interviews to show that the domme is respected in her field are most welcome, some Dommes already do this on their sites but not enough. There are so many amazing experiences that should be shared to other prospective subs to show that this is an amazing past time. *She who rides the Demon is afraid to dismount*

All con Dommes' websites or ads that I've seen are so obvious, so poor, so blatantly asking for money and nothing in exchange... in other words, so light years from a half-decent Domme's website, that although you keep going on about "irrational behaviour" (I guess that's thinking with your cock), it's no excuse. Yet you seem to condone and defend choosing with your balls full. Believe it or not, lots of people do their two hour search, looking and comparing, and they come to a decision based on what their bigger brains tell them. Most of us don't see people on the day. It's a good way of avoiding subs booking with their cock and then not showing because they had a wank in the time it took from booking to turning up. I think that people who bother to read session reviews before choosing a specific lady, are not likely to be the sort who makes a last minute booking because his cock needs servicing.
A con Domme is still different from a poor Domme. This is where reviews can be handy. Then again, what is a poor Domme for one person, is a great one for another... But if a website and a chat on the phone still isn't enough for a potential sub, he doesn't trust his instincts, that's their problem, and no amount of sessions are going to change that indecision much.

Many submissives who have come to see me have told me that the reviews were an added part of why they wanted to see me. Whilst they had already pretty much made up their mind, they had enjoyed reading experiences of what a session was like for other submissives and whether they'd wish to engage in something similar. I think some reviews are better than others, but I think a well written review that communicates even more about the Mistress and her style is never a bad thing. For me, it's helped the "right" submissive find me - by "right", I mean one that will appreciate my particular style of Domination. | ||||

Showing my ignorance again. I just suggested it as a possible criterion (introduced with "I guess"). Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. | ||||

Hi wonderer I bow to the greater knowledge of the ladies above but I, personally, do think it is one (of quite a few) criteria you can use As has been said many subs (especially where there is a lot of choice - big cities for example) do play the field but there are also a few of us out here who see one domme regularly and have done for some considerable time It means that we have found someone we completely click with - it doesn't mean that any other sub would do the same - which is why it's just one criteria...

I agree with this. Review are reviews and you take them as subjective opinion just like a book review. It's usually clear when someone is reviewing themselves because it comes across as little too polished or complete i.e. it is structured rather than just a few sentences put together to help others. | ||||

That's too simplistic and a very inaccurate argument. Some submissives are highly educated men (and women) who take pride in their written communication. Why shouldn't they write a structured and comprehensive account of their session?

I would say that 'self promotion' reviews are fairly easy to spot once you've read several hundred BV Sometimes there simply are no words......at other times 'You filthy little cock sucking whore' seems to work just fine | ||||

Reviews can sometimes be amusing - For a while on some board I was on where they had non-censored reviews, there was a proliferation of the sort of brown nosing type reports - where you could very nearly feel your kidneys start to fail from all that sweet! I think it's caveat emptor - reviews or nay; one of the more helpful things is really to talk to your potential Domme. Sometimes some pro's do not offer you the time of day and that's fair enough - it tells you something also about the likely way in which you are going to gel (hey if it's your thing to be dominated by an untouchable goddess - maybe this is exactly what you want!) I think more often than not, the professional dominants I have come to know are very caring people who want a first scene to be successful - and often alot of the pre-amble building up to that gives both parties an idea of how the scene may play out. Granted sometimes a pro may be hesitant to spend too much time on the phone because sometimes that's all it ends up being is a wanky phone conversation, with the client actually never intending to engage in a paying scene.

I once got a right earful from a sub who was asking about a Mistress in particular on the UK-M boards. He wasn't sure whether she was the Domme for him and if she'd do A, B and C in session. I suggested talking to her on the phone to come to his own conclusions, instead of asking to all and sundry... My, his cat must had died that morning, because he went mad at me in such a rage! He eventually sent me a private message to apologise for his rage on the boards, but he added that he didn't think my suggestion was a very useful one. People are weird! Cultivate your inner whore |
