This is going to dig into a couple things, so if you’re not up for reading (like most aren’t), you can skip. I’m circling back to my gatekeeping thread, since this provider and the tour she’s about to be on tie right into it. For the sake of the provider and the hobby as a whole I’ll just call her AF. The fellas on Lourdes will know exactly who I’m talking about. And honestly, there aren’t many of us who don’t already know she provides. Common sense is a thing.
First off, UTR AF isn’t really UTR. I’m only using that label because I don’t think she wants the entire world knowing she’s a provider. AF rarely tours, so the fact that she’s doing one at all feels like a big deal. I’m not personally a huge fan of her scenes, and I’ve heard mixed reviews about her sessions, but that’s just my opinion shouldn’t sway anyone else. Regardless, AF is still a popular adult actress with fans across the country and even internationally, since she does travel abroad.
Now, here’s where my hesitation comes in. It’s not entirely for AF’s sake it’s for the hobby. AF is listed on Lourdes for everyone to see. Getting access to Lourdes isn’t rocket science: $1,000, a small verification process, and you’re in. From there you can browse their roster or at least what they choose to show you. The reason I debated even mentioning her is because I don’t want to ruin it for other clients. Outing her too openly could easily lead to her pulling the plug on providing altogether. That’s happened before with other providers who got too much exposure, and I don’t want that on my conscience.
You could argue that all of AF’s info is already out there, so what’s the harm in naming her? And I get that. But when someone rarely tours, drawing extra attention could create a chain reaction leading straight back to EA and possibly an early retirement from the hobby. To me, that’s not worth it if it means other clients lose their shot.
So is this gatekeeping? I don’t really think so. I’d call it more like keeping the hobby alive for the next person. If someone wants to drop AF’s name in the comments, that’s fine. I just won’t put it here where keywords could be picked up.
For those wondering, AF’s tour is scheduled for December 1st through 7th in New York. Hopefully it’s still on, though I didn’t see it mentioned in this week’s newsletter.
