Now I know there are some who will say "that's not true, I had a wonderful time at______" and they may have.I mean in general it just feels like a waste of time when the entertainment can be found elsewhere.It may have changed .I stopped going almost 10 years ago and they had gotten pretty bad then.
It really just depends on what 'gets you off'. SCers are an odd lot. If best value for a release in the best environment over the longest period of time is your primary criteria, you'd be nuts to go to a SC. I say that as an SC only guy.
You have to think of SCs as 'Slot Machines' not 'Vending Machines'. Incalls, Outcalls, and MPs work like vending machines. You look at the pretty picture of the packaging of the product, pay your money, and hope that the right product is produced and what's in the packaging lives up to the packaging. SCs are like slot machines, you feed them money and admire the sounds and whirling lights, and smile when you get some sort of a payoff.
That's why I bitch as much as anybody about the move to the per trick model and lameness on the floor. That just turns SCs into a gateway for better value options. While SCs are in decline (and they deserve to be), slow and greedy waitresses, unhygienic girls, unhygienic clubs, rude girls, threatening and scamming girls, and dead floors with lame DJs are on the rise, in most cases they still tend to be more the exception than the rule.
If you go to the same dirty, overpriced, suck and fuck factory, packed with scamming, rude , and threatening girls of the dancer and staff variety it's pretty much like feeding the same slot machine without any payoff. I'm not shocked that regulars often 'go bitter' on a place. If you like hopping around, and you look at your money as spent already, the real fun is in the seedy random crawl. (If you're a regular who get's 'treated right' good on you, just be mindful of 'going bitter' and get on the crawl to find a new home before you 'go bitter'.)
My sex life is civi side and I do OK-- I've had my dry spells where several of the SPs on here have looked really damn good, but on balance I'm not looking for a 'vending machine'. It's not what gets me off. I'm looking for a slot machine because that 'uncertainty' gets me off. Much like slot machines, a suitably long period without payoff will indeed deter a reasonable person, and that's why the decline in the ambient level of excitement in a SC has been so bad.
