I’m going to say, “the community!”😁
I love the sense of community I feel here on TER, so even though we don’t always agree on different topics… we can all agree that TER is a great community of people in a whole who value their adult fun time. Thanks TER & it’s members. I am happy to be here & grateful to be allowed to continue to post. Smile for me!Truly warms the cockles of my heart.. So much love in the air today.. 
in California, so I don't need my cockles warmed yet.
I will suggest QB add "cockle warming" to her profile services. I'm sure she is very skilled. Lol

Point taken.....
Here in DC Metro area it's starting to get a bit nippy, and it will get quite chilly very soon. Cockle warming services, will definitely be in great demand.
I like the women who have decided to take up this work and put themselves out there for our enjoyment and entertainment. It takes a lot to do this job and then open yourself up to critique and criticism, especially from some of the more "pleasant" people around here. However it has allowed me to figure out who would be a great match and as a result I have mostly had amazing times with splendid women. I am grateful for the women of TER and thankful for their guidance during my journey of sexual self exploration. I know I may be a bit jaded and cynical these days about the state of the game these days but I still appreciate the good times I had and will have in the future.
“I like the women who have decided to take up this work and put themselves out there for our enjoyment and entertainment. It takes a lot to do this job and then open yourself up to critique and criticism, especially from some of the more "pleasant" people around here.” Exactly!!

These women really are a gift. My life would be so much different (read that as “worse) without them. Perfectly stated 420.

Queen, I give you a lot of credit. You are subjected to verbal abuse here almost daily and yet you keep posting and seem quite grateful to TER and your clients. I happen to know some of your guys and they speak very highly of you and your reviews prove you are a great provider.
.
I am also grateful to the many guys here who have befriended me, looked out for me and suggested women they thought I would be compatible with. I hope I have given as much as I have taken.
Frankly, the sense of community is a distant third. First of course are the reviews, even if most of them are bullsh*t. Second are the ads. Distant third are the boards (but I do enjoy lurking on the Highway).
For me, TER is more like a newspaper.
It’s not perfect but it enables me to make improved decisions. I agree with many here that the veracity of reviews is not always consistent, but I regard them like Amazon reviews - with a grain of salt. Discard both ends and focus on the middle. I don’t trust or understand other review sites. I’ve only met a couple gals who had zero reviews, but each with great results - but they had other cred that justified the mutual investment. TER is one of the resources that enable successful investments for me, but certainly not the only one.
As you can see from my history, posting on national or local message boards is rare for me. I mostly enjoy reading them when I login to do some homework, but I don’t login to read these boards.
I sincerely appreciate every gal who posts and continues to post here! I hope you don’t get too frustrated with the dudes who sling hash. I believe there are 10x or 100x dudes who read these boards and don’t post for whatever reason (like me), but you champion your opinions and have more influence and reach more than you know. Seriously!
The most important thing I like about TER is that it has allowed me to play safely while meeting some wonderful and exciting companions.
The other options for finding providers where I live are dicey at best, dangerous in various ways at worst.
I know I would not have had so many wonfderful expariences otherwise.
1. That in LA 90% of the reviews are for kgirls (95% of which have fake photos), older well used women that have been at it for 20-30 years, and TS boys
2. This Board!!. Where 6 older women banter nonsensically with the boot-licker boys that adore them.
3. CDL, while of course he gets a little over the top at least he calls a spade a spade. Living as you guys do in a virtual community sometimes you get a little redundant and boring
4. RespectfulRobert. What a kind loving dear hearted man who is the protector of the 6 women that live on this board.
5. And most especially that I occasionally find a beautiful sexy woman below 40 that wouldn't be caught dead here because as everyone knows young women eventually distance themselves from their mothers.
I do hope I haven't offended anyone….NOT.
Just a reminder to everyone especially QB and Robbie, first speech is a right and trying to squash opinions that you disagree with is censorship pure and simple.
Now how about a BIG virtual group hug. Bissous men Cheers Now frown for me
TER used to be great before the FOSTA/SESTA fiasco and the rise of other platforms. But since then, most of the good posters, male and female, have moved on and they haven't been replaced.
Remember London Ryan?
swingsbothways?
scoed?
MP67?
RomeoGolf?
The barely literate Fancy8888?
TobiTelford?
Getting rid of the volunteer mods was another shoot-yourself-in-the-foot mistake. They were tough but fair and made the boards fun.

Face it, TER is a shadow of its former self. My sense is that its value as a business has shrunk massively.
It's a damn shame because I used to love it here.
And, no, I'm not going anywhere. Like I said, force of habit.
You are mistaking a self aggrandizing propaganda post for an actual post that was meant to stimulate discussion.. LOL
The question is whether the post warmed the cockles of your heart or not..
That being said I also miss DC. That lawyer from Boston area.. He had some way with words.. That cocksucker knew how to write. Also it was London Rayne, Conan.. Not Ryan.
That was a typo.
Oh I know. I was just fuckin' you..
the 20-month FOSTA/SESTA closure was disastrous to the community that posts on the boards. I often wonder how many that were regular of semi-regular posters still don't know that TER reopened. I noticed every once in a while, a familiar name shows up who says they didn't know TER was back until now. A few of the names on your list have been back briefly since TER went back online in the US, but they haven't continued. Maybe they know they will offend the delicate sensibilities of some of the new posters here . . . . . like we have. Lol
You forgot Ugo from Wisconsin…I honestly think I know who he is IRL. He was bullied by most of my childhood chums…everyone but me!
Our hobby is a pretty expensive one. TER is like an insurance policy. We (the mongers among us) all hate to spend our money on a bad or even lackluster experience. Reading TER is the most reliable way I know to limit paying for what becomes a bad or lackluster experience with a provider. Better yet, it provides the easiest surest way to be confident that a new experience with a provider will be a satisfying one.
If that's the case am proud to be one - am all about women, what's not to love about them ,even though they will fuck you over sometimes ( well in different ways, but most times in a good way, and you can't do without them) - keep coming back for more.
Further likes about TER, are the hilarious reviews. People tell how they went to dingy motels in a scary neighborhood, and how they enter the room and there were needles everywhere, but still they did bareback for a dime on the dollar.
Other times ,about how they get outer there as fast as they could.The boyfriends was in another room or sitting in a car . It's like a thrill or a dare to them.
On a more serious note however- TER is the most interactive site, encompassing a wide range discussion and information that directly and indirectly the sex industry, and life in general .
Boobsman, I imagine I am a pervert too because I will admit to enjoying the sexy pics myself. There are some beautiful woman posting on the site, what's not to like?
I also have used reviews to know who not to date - or preferably, to understand more about a potential date's preferences in order to give them the best experience possible.
Some of the reviews and discussions are hilarious, but some are downright cringeworthy. I like how most of the people here can respect a good debate or discussion, but every once in a while the jerks who can't get past their egos do get on my nerves. Generally referring to those who believe that everyone thinks like them and their opinions and preferences are the only ones that matter.
Overall I miss the more active "good ole days" but I still enjoy having these forums to come to and connect with others in the industry on a variety of topics. I feel a sense of connection with my fellow perverts - LOL!
Finding it hard to believe a reviewer and a provider agreeing on something on this site in a positive vain!👍
She is awesome . If you ever find yourself in Vegas ,don't miss her. I wouldn't.
Why haven’t you posted your review of her yet? Anxious to see the details.
One of the few best . Alway good to see genuine outstanding providers in this industry.
A couple other sites have generic provider reviews without much detail. TER reviews range from the same vanilla type of reviews to some that outline explicit activities and quality of time enjoyed... or not. I like that I can send an email to either the reviewer or provider and get replies back answering most of my questions about a possible appointment.
Post Covid-19 prices are up and its always good to have a way to measure what you will be walking into for the xtra money involved. Reading these entertaining reviews are also a fun way to kill a couple hours and get a laugh or two.
Like a kid in a candy store….too many beautiful choices and not enough Pennys!
You can always shop around. Am sure you can find a deal that match the budget. Well whether you care about quality over quantity .
I get your point ; just like any other goods or services, we always crave more but the bills have to be paid , and there are many more competing expenses.
