Telling Asian SPs about PERB—yes or no?
Hi brother pcb,
It wasn`t my intention to embarrass you in any way. Never occurred to me that Angie had your number.
I never mentioned any details about your review, but simply that a favorable review had encouraged me to see her. On her request I told her about this website. Obviously she has access to the internet, and it`s not beyond the capacity of a smart Hongkong girl to track down a review of herself.

Very occasionally I`ve mentioned PERB to intelligent Asian SPs before, without ever thinking much about the pros and cons. This is the real issue your "rant" raises for me:
Should telling Asian SPs about PERB be a taboo for pooners?
The obvious—and only—reason I can see for keeping PERB secret from Asian SPs is that otherwise some reviewers like yourself feel inhibited about writing candid reviews.
That reason is outweighed, in my mind, by 3 considerations.
1. For better or worse, PERB reviews (except those in the massage section) are accessible to the interested public. Many SPs link to their reviews via ads or websites. If you google "Escort Reviews Vancouver" PERB comes up right away. It seems a rather strange idea to selectively hush up PERB`s existence, or to lay down rules about who can inform whom about it.
2. An attitude that says "Let`s keep only those migrant Asian sex workers in the dark about PERB!" strikes me as unfair and borderline racist. I think Asian SPs have every right to know they may be reviewed. Western SPs generally are well aware of PERB and similar sites, and some even advertise here. And micro operators like Maggie or Lily (and her partner) also know about PERB.
3. Some fairly smart Asian SPs might even benefit from reading reviews. Reading their own reviews gives them a chance to shape up in the light of critical feedback.
So on balance I think each pooner should decide for himself whether to tell an Asian SP about PERB. Personally, knowing that an SP reads my review of her wouldn`t prevent me from telling the exact truth about what I experienced.
No one who actually reads my reviews could seriously think I`m interested in anything but speaking my truth. If my reviews sometimes get longish and read like Penthouse letters, well, that`s how I enjoy writing them, and surely no one`s forced to read.
As you know, brother pcb, I feel sincere respect for you. I hope you`ll keep posting your honest, astute perspectives on the SPs you see.
