My first No review..His breath was DISGUSTING!!

Look here, now. This sorta thing comes up all the time and it's like Political Correctness gone to a maddening extreme. There have been threads upon threads about how to react to stanky pussy, stanky breath, stanky ass, nasty balls, klingons, sweat, greasy hair, too much cologne/perfume, BO...

The solution is simple. Speak up. "Dude, you have breath that will peel fucking paint. I have a disposable toothbrush. In the bathroom. Go. I'll be here when you get back and we'll have a lot more fun. Promise". The guy would probably rather have a decent session than get his panties in a twist over his breath. Unless he's a thin skinned douche, and then so what? Unless it's like a digestive disorder that's pulling gut gas out the sewer vent, then you just gotta say you can't do it, sorry, let's fuck. Doggy, please.

It's OK to tell the truth in these encounters, and everybody who plays this game needs to leave their ego baggage on the doorstep. Both parties need to do whatever is required to make the session a hit. If a hygiene issue pops up, deal with it head on (no pun intended).

I'd go see Lindsey, especially now that I know she has a gag reflex

Hahahha... Phildo, I guess I do have a gag reflex!
I'm sorry it was an unpleasant experience for you, LL. I've had just a handful of clients in the past two years who have come over to do an appointment and their oral hygiene was not up to par... What I have learned is, this is about BOTH parties having fun & being comfortable and enjoying themselves.

I would tell a guy under any circumstance if I felt uncomfortable with anything during the session, including hygiene. I would suggest mouthwash, and keep those little Wisp things (the portable toothbrushes) and always have gum on hand.. If he refuses them, maybe try telling him, "Babe, I really think you should use some mouthwash... I want BOTH of us to be able to have a good time & I WANT to be able to kiss you"

Honesty is the best policy IMO but I know it can be uncomfortable or awkward to point out someone's hygiene to them

Keep your head up XOXO

I've never visited Lindsay. Been meaning to; just haven't. And I rely heavily on reviews. I want the reviewer to be as honest as possible. But the provider should have recourse in responding to the negative review -- and have as much latitude as the hobbyist had in writing it. In my defense of reviews, I detest WKs and providers who flame someone just for writing a review. But this is one shining example where a bad review won't affect most hobbyist's views of the provider. I'll still visit Lindsay when I can work out the time. One bad review is just that...a bad review. I defend his right to write it and my preference to ignore it. But keep those reviews coming.

Did he take his review down, of you LL? I do not see a "NO" review listed, in your list of reviews, attached to your showcase.

I.T.
because of this post i read the review (probably wouldn't have otherwise) but in the review he actually has good things to say, nothing hurtful or rude.

you can't please everyone, and one 'no' isn't going to break your business.

what will break your business is calling out a client and calling the client 'disgusting' and other insults. i believe you have been a member of this community for a long, long, long time. one would think that you would realize that one no isn't going to scare off your regulars.

this post is something i'd expect from someone who just joined eccie and just joined the welcome wagon. Originally Posted by fletch

I always carry Listerine with me in my vehicle , plus I bathe, manscape. Before any fun. We're all grown men there's no reason , feel your pain girl.
A year ago I saw a girl I had wanted to see for years on here. We didn't click during bcd. I wrote a yes review, didn't say anything negative other than no IOP and didn't click.

She had pmed me upset about the review after WKs contacted her. She said I had onion breath when I saw her. I didn't remember what I had eaten prior to our visit but I always carry toothpaste, brush and mouthwash in my vehicle to use right before arriving and after leaving an appt. Maybe whatever I ate 3 or 4 hours before lingered deep and resurfaced. It happens.

I would have preferred she tell me my breath was bad so I could have fixed it on the spot.

Oh onion breath is the worst!!!!! I HATE It when I guy eats a burger right before he comes over.

Common sense should kick in.....

No one likes onion breath and why put a provider in a awkward spot by having to tell a person is breath stinks?
Lindsay - one NO review in 13 years says more about the reviewer then you. Remember you cannot please all the people all the time no matter how hard you try. Forget about this as most of us already have.
