I always wonder how effective ads with very explicit language are. I see everything from "cum f*ck my s*atch", to "I like take a pounding with your big c*ck". You get the idea.
Don't we all really know what we do here? When I first started, my ads were a lot racier, but now, I try to keep it low and I am really thinking of eliminating it altogether. But, that is just MY personal taste. How about you guys?
What are some of the preconceived notions you get when reading explicit ads? Does price and explicit language have ANY correlation? Do you find yourself clicking on the "dirtiest" ones more often? Does it translate in a booked appointment or is it just soft porn?
What makes you "click"?

It's kind of fun when that nice lady you've been emailing and phone-calling with closes the bedroom door and then demonstrates her command of some robust language. But that's after that door in "BCD" closes. In ads ... it just invokes that grungy backpage ambience.
To answer your closing question (what makes you click?): I can tell you, although it won't be useful in many cases. I like to see a lady's face. It's not nearly as good as talking to her, in terms of getting a feeling for her personality and intelligence, but facial expressions tell you a little more about those things than headless pictures of her breasts, legs, rear end, and so on. I know hearing that doesn't help much, because a lot of you don't use face pictures for good and obvious reasons. But there it is. Sometimes the face is blurred, but the expression still comes through, at least faintly (see Gigi Gypsy's showcase), and that seems like a good way to protect privacy while still giving you some idea of what she looks like, smiling.
Also, I have a great weakness for ladies who know the difference between "discrete" and "discreet." Without going into agonizing detail, a pretty good rule of thumb is: in the
demimonde context, you probably mean "discreet," not "discrete."
