I may rub some people the wrong way with this post and I am by no means a seasoned pro in this hobby but I have noticed a few things on this board since I joined and wanted to build a how to list based on my own views. Basically when dealing with life and business and people you develop certain interpersonal skills. On this board we are trying to make connections that are very intimate and should be handled with care and tact (imho). CERB is, as I have found, an excellent resource for quality companions and should not be treated like the side alley or even Craigs List. below is a list of tips in how I approach new people and felt I should share it as I see many impatient responses to announcements or weird ways of asking for information. Read their Announcements completely! Many times there is a link to the SP or MP's homepage, e-mail address or phone number. These announcements generally have availability, details and sometimes rates. Take the time to see what they are saying and decide if you want to contact them. If they have a webpage...READ IT, I have yet to visit an SP's page and not come away with a nearly complete idea of what they offer and their general rates. If they have recommendations, read them, and not just the 'score'. If you are looking for a certain type of experience the reco's usual will recount (sometimes vaguely) what is offered and what isn't. The list of services under the review header is generally pretty specific. Do a bit of research if you want to know what the SP/MP is like. A lot of the women who announce regularly also post regularly. Personally I only want to spend time with people I am interested in, by looking at what they have to say you can get a feel of their personality. If you click with someone then generally you can have a much better time. If you have specific questions do not post them under their announcement, PM, call or e-mail them depending on what information they provided. How would you book an appointment for anything else in life? If they are a regular poster on CERB they will see their PM's, many of the women even mention if they can't get to them and specify alternate methods. Do not post on their guestbook 'call me', 'are you available now' or 'PM me', if I was on the other end of those messages I would not respond or maybe not even see the notes for a while at a time. Be respectful in messages and notes. If you want to be treated well and meet some of the amazing women on this board approach them as they should be approached, with class and respect. I am not saying debate should never happen, but that is not the point of this board. I know I am a relative n00b so to speak so some may disagree with me or discount the advice but I felt I needed to get this off my chest. Anything I missed? Any comments from the SP's/MP's? From other hobbyists? I know there is a 'do not do' thread, but a concise how to guide could never hurt!;-)

Thanks, Cato. It might be the wrong time of year to be planning this, anyway. Maybe I'll resurrect the thread in the fall sometime and plan for a date in the late winter somewhere.

I don't like the full-body tattoos, personally, but a well-placed tattoo that adds something, or means something is fine with me. I don't have any tattoos, myself. I've thought about it a few times, but balked when I realized that, in my old age, I didn't want to be known at the nursing home as that "poor old dear in Room 23 with the dolphin on her hipbone" or whatever it was!

A bit late with this story. It might be of interest to some here. Legendary adult Actress Marilyn Chambers died last week. LA Times Link IMDB Link

This is courtesy of a member of another board's signature pic -- and I will be posting it in the other areas as well, as a reminder to everyone, if nothing else, exactly what it is people like this are all about. When you see it happen, silence is not golden -- they need to be confronted. When it happens to you, same thing -- record & report. Bullies can't function when they are exposed and when good people refuse to remain silent. :thumbs up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp0zP8KPw0Q

Just got back from FINALLY seeing this sweetie. Wish I hadn't taken so long considering this is apparently her last day in Ottawa. Damn deadbeats ruining it for the rest of us! Now I gotta figure how much cab fare is to CP and back! lol. What can I say about this drop dead gorgeous angel that hasn't already been said here? The Energizer Bunny ain't got nothin' on this girl! ;) Went for the all oral option and there was not a single break in pace the entire hour! (except to move from the living room couch to the bedroom :P). And we both loved every second of it. The entire encounter ended with the kind of porn star finish I've only ever dreamed about. And no rushing right away to the washroom to clean up the mess, this girl is a trooper! As the song says "Do you have to let it linger?" Well, no..you don't.... but it's a damn nice view if you do :D I hope the Carleton Place boys eat their wheaties, they're gonna need it! Here's hoping a few stand up guys can convince her to come back around, if only to see established clients, which I am now very happy to be one of.

Ladies and Gents, Some of the ladies here on cerb can't get into the sp only section so i think we should help them out with some advise on bad clients etc... Here are some of the things i do: I offer a discount for cerb members-they must pm on here for the discount I want a name and number-not always necessary if they are a well established cerb member..but much preferred to have in case of emerg and i have to cancel. for travelling- ask to see them on cam...then have them send you a pic. their name and number...always leave this with someone you trust just in case...{this is if your crazy enough to travel to see someone you don't know at all} blocked calls-don't even bother answering...lol Also if you have troubles and you can't get into the Sp section please pm mod with what happened to you ....with as much info as possible These are just a few ideas for you to use...i'm sure the other ladies have some ideas too... stay safe ladies and always follow your gut! kisses, Emma A

This is a good thread, Emma. Here are some of my thoughts: Have a website You can make one yourself if you can't afford a designer, and there are lots of places that offer very inexpensive hostlng. Use one of the hosting firms that offer unlimited bandwidth. If you advertise very much at all, you'll get a lot of traffic very quickly. Websites make it easier for clients to find out about you and what you have to offer. Read a lot of escorts' sites and you'll see what we've found we need to be telling clients ahead of time. Provide a contact form on your site for the clients to use to contact you. Require them to fill in the blanks about their name, their age, how long they want to meet, and so on. This isn't foolproof, but if they're not willing to give you some basic information, they're not serious. They fail the screening test. Get a pay-as-you-go cellphone You can use this for calls to/from clients without being concerned that you'll be identifying yourself accidentally. These plans usually will cost you more than signing up for a two-year plan with one of the big guys, but there's readily available software that makes it easy for anyone to search cell phone numbers to find out who owns the number and the address and contact information they gave when they signed up for the contract (I didn't know this until a client showed me!). Pay-as-you-go is anonymous. Don't give out your address Use a two call system. In your e-mail or phone conversation, say which major intersection is closest to your location. Ask them to call you when they get to that intersection for directions to where you are. Don't take calls from blocked or private numbers. Guys who say they won't or can't reveal their number to you fail the screening test. If you're meeting at a hotel and you've booked the room, don't say which one when you set up the appointment. I always register in my real name because the hotel won't give out the name of the occupant of room #1217; and if the client calls and asks for Samantha Evans' room, the hotel won't have a record of it. Have the client call your cell number at a specific time (half an hour to an hour before the meeting). Tell him which hotel you're in, then. Have him call again when he gets there; that's when he gets the room number. If he refuses to go through these steps because they're cumbersome, inconvenient, etc., he fails the screening test. If you're meeting at a hotel and he's booked the room, ask for his first and last name when you set up the meeting. If he tells you to call his cell phone when you arrive, explain that for your safety, you need the name in which the room is booked. Call the hotel and verify that John Smith is staying there. If the client objects to this for some reason, again, he fails the screening test. Book and visit high-end hotels only until you're comfortable with everything. If you use hotel rooms as incall locations, find a nice, less expensive but still very elegant boutique hotel for days when you see returning clients. Four and five-star hotels have the best security. The no-tell motel is cheap and easy to get into and out of without being detected. That's why they're such great places for crime scenes in movies and on TV. Also, for crime, period! Cover anything that goes into your body You provide the condoms, the lubricant and the gloves. Always. You'll know what they're made of and how they've been handled. Have gloves available, but make your own call on whether to require use. You need to avoid even minor scratches which can easily become sites of infection. Cover penises, for sure, but also cover toys. It makes clean-up easier and you never have to worry about whether you should use the dildo if you dropped it on the floor. Be cautious about what you drink This is a judgment call. I never drink alcohol with a client if the meeting is less than an hour and a half long, unless I'm in a restaurant. I provide wine and spirits in my home, along with coffee, tea and soft drinks. I accept gifts of wine and spirits, but I'm careful about using them. Never drink from a bottle that's been opened before it got into your hands. Homemade wine is often very nice, but you don't know what went into that bottle, do you? Remember that you're in charge This is a hard one for new companions who tend to be warm, loving, affectionate and sometimes overly submissive women. Everything that happens has to be on your terms, without coercion or pressure of any kind, period. Don't give in or compromise even in your early contact with the client. Some guys think that if you'll give an inch here, a few centimeters there, they can have the whole continent. Trust your intuition No matter what, no matter how much you need the money, no matter how many cancellations or no-shows you've had recently, no matter how nice the guy is on the phone or in e-mail, no matter who he is on a public board like this one or in public life, if you have the slightest doubt about him, he fails the screening, always. Your comfort, your safety, your health and your security come first, always. A good client knows without being told that if you're safe and secure, he is too.
