Clearly, when talking about DT, the matter is mostly subjective.....oddly. You'd think it would be objective, but to be objective you'd have to set a standard to the practice that would define the ability of the provider to DT.
As it stands, given the wide variance of girth/length, it's hard to nail down a fair standard for the the DT label, which is only compounded by the fact that every ad you see is just that...an ad; this is a sales position at its core, so naturally the talent will try and stretch the definition of whatever act they're selling to it's limit.
Frankly, I'd like to see "attempted DT" more in reviews. As a man of considerable girth and length (and I'm sorry, given the conversation, this is not out of hubris but out of the law of a tape measure/ruler) I wouldn't mind the mention of length/girth mentioned more in reviews, as well. I know it's odd, but ffs, this isn't the Disney forum! Truth is each man has his bucket/wish list, and knowing more about a provider only helps, i.e. "she can DT"....."I have a 11.3 inches of dangling death"......"and paid with a bucket of fried chicken..."
I don't see any reason for this to be perceived as picky, because the actual talent of swallowing a 7 or 8" meat sword should be held in the highest of praise, even if you're smaller than that, because it only means the possibilities are limitless! Honestly, one of the great things about this place is the ability to find providers that can provide (imagine that) pleasure that is either very hard, or impossible, to achieve through your current relationship or your standard civilian relationship.
Here's the short version: providers are going to claim they can DT as long as it brings in clients (which is not so much a knock against them so much as it is a point to the obvious to anyone in a "sales" position), which means it's up the REVIEWS to state HOW they were able to DT! If giving out your most personal stats on a site that revolves around.....your personal stats is a problem for you, I'm sorry, but if you say "DT" in your review, then list your damn length/girth, because I promise, if she can DT you there's a strong chance she can't DT the next guy.
Basically, it's quite alright to NOT put "DT" in your review if she managed to take your entire 1.3" of dangling death, and honestly you'd be doing all of us (the apparently 5.5"+ crowd) a favor.
