Babee is correct as to her interpretation of my original post. The fact I don't do bb has already hurt my business so posting all of this couldn't hurt it any more. She is correct that my hesitation in seeing clients who have seen the bbfs providers is due to the fact they would expect bb from me. As long as a cover is used correctly, there shouldn't be much added risk should a client have contracted something from a bb provider.
Adding to Babee's thoughts, I have found the bb thing to be prevalent from Jackson to the Coast. I have had encounters south of Jackson who wouldn't do a review because I pulled out a cover. (Reminiscent of the bad break up line "It's not you, it's me.") It is hard enough to have guys actually expend the energy to do a review without adding that additional issue.
Happy and safe hobbying everyone!
I read it maybe a bit differently.
Here's what I got out of the OP:
I don't bb.
I know other reputable providers do.
I don't bb.
I know there are clients who now think it's the norm to bb.
I don't bb.
From now on, using a bb provider as a ref means I won't see you because...
I don't bb.
If you as a client want to bb, you need to stick with others who will because
I don't bb.
Think that was the point?
So, I'm walking away with - I can't control what others do. I can only use the knowledge to protect myself and my clients. A known bb provider's entire client base is highly suspect and less apt to schedule an appt with me.
There's a reason jax was not on my tour this time around. March ain't lookin none too good easy. there's a great big hole where MS used to be for me. Just too much bs (erm bb) going down. I like to look forward to my meetings, relax have fun and not worry. If it feels like work, it's just no fun for me. If I have to one time discuss NO BB - then I am no longer relaxed, no longer enjoying myself, no longer having fun. I'm either watching my date like a hawk or watching him leave. Either way - ugh. pass.
Used to be that Mississippi had a rep for a great bunch of guys.
Now every MS inquiry gets answered with 'screen for bb. it's rampant there."
Once that rumor rolls around - the pu**y parade quits coming to town. Originally Posted by babee
