Will this board adapt to allow forums for Homosexual Hobby Related activities?

Just how far will ECCIE go in the future.

Personally I have no interest in anything that is not girls advertising for guys.

But in the mix are Transsexuals..... who, whether Pre or Post Op are provided Showcases and the generic designation of "Verified Providers".....

ECCIE grows and at some point will be pulled into the issue of male for male solicitations and possibly even reviews.....

Is this already prohibited?

Will it be prohibited?

If it is not already Prohibited and will be perhaps it is time for a new guideline....

I can see issues that can be challenged at the moment in the Guidelines...... For Example..... Guideline 21 starts out "Ladies".... Yet we already have men wih showcases advertising as if they WERE a lady.... Yet this guideline only addresses ladies....

There was a time when an assumption could be made that a "Verified Provider" was a female... we are past that now....

So what is currently stopping the male for male or female for female business for finding it's way into the community?

I was actually thinking of posting a similar thread. There are women hobbyists as there are men, and male providers as there are female. It would be great to accommodate everyone being that the entire hobby itself proved taboo to the civie world.

That is actually what I am concerned about.

I would prefer a much more close minded approach and charter that makes this a private club dedicated to the exploration of the hobby in relation to genetically female providers.

The rest can find another board.

I am confused at your concern for a more inclusive eccie regarding folks sexual orientation/gender and desire to share information on that particular "non-traditional" provider. At the end of the day, all sex-workers are bound by the common theme of sex vs money. I had perceived this community to be for the sharing of information for the safety of all providers - black, white, bi, gay, straight ( I didn't choose my ethnicity or sexual preference but glad im still included and that ECCIE IS open minded in this circumstance) Maybe my daytime activist persona is too positive and progressive for a board like this one.

I'm almost positive your concern is more than appropriate - but could you go more in depth of what risk and problems it would cost ?

I'm inclined to say that the differences outweigh the similarities, and a separate board would be preferable.

I like to understand ideas first instead of flat out being closed minded and disagreeing - that is.

This is already embraced on the board...the Other Review forums are absolutely teeming with these encounters...as they should be...

I can see that. I am not FOR equal rights here on ECCIE. It is a privately owned board and I hope it stays focused on women for men...

ECCIE does not seem to openly support your perception that all are welcomed anymore than it suggests they are not in regards to gender issues.

The day I log in and there are ads for men seeking male customers, showcases for men, review sections for all the different freak shows that others enjoy will be one day too long that I stuck around.

I am not that open minded.

That's why the question.

I would rather see a policy adapted early enough to send that business off to other boards and not be open to it here on ECCIE....

Think of the ads we could get bombarded with!

Theres a fine line being discussed here, a male being with a TS ISNT gay, its a fetish, yea yea, before u say it, its all opinion, but a gay encounter is a male with a male or female with female. (I know there is no issue of that aspect....)There is NOTHING manly about a TS, we are feminine in every way, except what is between our legs. Its a fetish nothing more......nothing will change the fact is that it is a very sought after experience.....don't like it? don't read it.......don't do it, let others do what they wish, it isn't all about U or any ONE person

Welcome to ECCIE.

We're glad you found us. Yes, another alternative here and we truly hope our idea catches on. This is a public board, and for the time being, completely free to join.

ECCIE, pronounced 'ECK-ee', wishes to give you, the hobbyist and provider community, a freely accessible, easy-to-use platform to exchange information and share your thoughts and ideas.

A recent void spurred the idea, and we hope as many of you as possible choose to join in and become part of our growth. Whether you wish to participate in discussions, post reviews, advertise as a provider, chat, or simply browse our pages as a lurker, we value every segment of our community and offer you a home here at ECCIE.

Just scattershooting here, but we'd like to throw out some thoughts to give everyone a better understanding of our rationale in creating this board, your role here, and how we look at moderating the board.

First things first-

Everyone is welcome. Yes, EVERYONE. We say that in the truest form of sincerity. Now, we can't guarantee that someone won't wear out their welcome, but here to begin with, everyone starts with a clean slate.

While you will not find the rigid enforcement of rules on this board, that does not mean we are without reasonable guidelines for community interaction. Sure there will be a few rules to follow, but the vast majority of you have participated on other boards and likely already have a good understanding of how to conduct yourselves on an adult message board.

Keyword: ADULT. We are all adults here, and our number one rule is to remember that. We welcome everyone's thoughts, opinions and ideas. We encourage lively and spirited discussions. With that said, we ask that you respect those around you. There's room enough for everyone, and while there will obviously be widely differing opinions expressed, we want everyone to feel comfortable in expressing their thoughts freely. We know drama goes with the territory. We're not going to pretend it can be excluded from our forums, BUT our goal is to keep it simmering, and hopefully avoid ever reaching a boiling point, or level which would be considered damaging to our board, an individual, or any segment of our community.

As time goes by, and things evolve around here, im sure we'll have to make decisions that will effect someone who participates here, either a group or individually. Please know that we're committed to making sure that any staff decisions made will be geared toward facilitating discussion and exchange of information. There are no personal agendas here, and frankly, we won't tolerate that. Our staff is here to keep discussions on track and assist in the many maintenance and housekeeping tasks that go along with a message board of this type. We're not going to force our opinions down your throat, or become overzealous in the enforcement of rules. ECCIE is intended to be a safe haven for the responsible hobbyist and provider and as our database of information grows, so too will grow the value of ECCIE for our membership.

So, to sum things up. ECCIE is here for YOU. We can't tell you whether we will experience fast growth, or whether members will slowly trickle in. In either case, please know that the ownership of this board will remain committed to making this an easy-to-navigate, user friendly online experience that meets the basic needs of our community without adding so many frills that our core focus gets lost in the mix. You will see this site evolve and progress at a good pace as time goes by. We welcome your feedback, and will genuinely take all ideas under consideration.

As a final note, ECCIE ownership will remain involved with this site in all regards. We plan to learn from our mistakes as well as the mistakes of others. We expect ECCIE to be safe and secure for our members. Steps have been taken and will continue to be taken to always ensure that.

Thanks and enjoy your stay,

Food for thought.

That said, I think mixing in Gay Male Escorts catering to Men is just too much for one board to handle. I think there's just too many differences in issues, whereas, I think the TS crowd really shares 90% of the same issues as the MF crowd.

Plus, I think, for safety sake, the TS Providers need to be privy to the same alerts as the F Providers...there is certainly enough crossover to make that a wise choice.
