I tend to disagree with your statement about ladies losing track of the business as well that expecting $300+ an hour is out of line. As someone who travels 80% of the month, I think it is you that does not understand how a touring lady conducts her business. If people are interested in seeing a companion, regardless of what her donations are they will visit with her. Why would anyone travel to another city and work for less than they currently make, would you? If a lady is travelling she has expenses among other things on top of normal everyday expenses at home. Not all providers are high volume ladies either, most come to visit with the expectation of seeing a couple amazing clients. Their donation among how they carry themselves allows them to be able to do just that. Some increase there donations to cover expenses others require a time duration minimum. If the lady has a great additude, personality and service, she is worth every penny of a what ever she chooses to charge for her time. There is no "Market Rate" /"Going Rate" in any city, people like to use that term to barter and that is a load of garbage. You use the term to "keep the flow of business steady" - Not all ladies offer a revolving door service. What a lady charges and what she offers are up to her, if she is in demand and people are happy her donation will not matter in the end.

After being here at CERB for quite sometime,and getting to know quite a few ladies throughout my experiences,I thought I let it know how important friendship is. It is not about having 400+ friends on your profile (like I do :) ),but it is nice to know that members here can certainly from end of the country to the other can be friends or acquaintances. It is not always about sending ton of pm's, it is in real life,face to face that you can have a great friendship with members here. I've got to know some ladies on a great personal level, and we have become I like to think "good friends" when meeting face to face. I have also had the pleasure to meet a couple of gents,and I like to think we are close friends too. It is not just about the sexual activities with a lady, but that itself is certainly a huge plus. I have over time found that trust,that special bond becomes a true friendship and I like to thank those special ladies. You will always be part of my life. So to that thread regarding if you ever fell in love with your Sp or your hobbiest. http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=33715 I like to think we have become good friends and we communicate well with each other, we trust each other deeply with personal issues. I have found many dear friends here,and yes I love them for that "friendship". The definition of friends- "The state of being friends; friendly relation, or attachment, to a person, or between persons; affection arising from mutual esteem and good will; friendliness; amity; good will." So I leave you with this, "friends are so important" in your circle of life, so thoroughly enjoy the good will and the bond between each other. Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything. Muhammad Ali May you all enjoy your friendships;)

Seriously, how refreshing!!! I have been working in this industry for a couple of years (formally a phone girl for an upscale agency) and just stumbled across this site. I have seen so many negative posts on other boards and it makes me sad. I find it TOTALLY refreshing to find a board like CERB which doesn?t allow negativity. CUDOS to all of you here and to the Mods/Owners of this board for encouraging the positive energy you do!!! I am so happy to be a part of this community where there is so much positive energy! Way to go everyone!!! HUGZ, Tristan

Five myths about prostitution http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/10/AR2010091002670.html By Sudhir Venkatesh Sunday, September 12, 2010; B03 Last weekend, .........., the popular provider of Internet classified advertising, halted publication of its "adult services" section. The move followed criticism from law enforcement officials across the country who have accused the site of facilitating prostitution on a massive scale. Of course, selling sex is an old business -- most say the oldest. But as the .......... controversy proves, it's also one of the fastest changing. And as a result, most people's perceptions of the sex trade are wildly out of date. 1. Prostitution is an alleyway business. It once was, of course. In the late 1800s, as Northern cities boomed, the sex trade in America became synonymous with the seedy side of town. Men who wanted to find prostitutes combed alleys behind bars, dimly lit parks and industrial corridors. But today, only a few big cities, such as Los Angeles and Miami, still have a thriving outdoor street market for sex. New York has cleaned up Times Square, Chicago's South Loop has long since gentrified, and even San Francisco's infamous Tenderloin isn't what it used to be. These red-light districts waned in part because the Internet became the preferred place to pick up a prostitute. Even the most down-and-out sex worker now advertises on .......... (or did until recently), as well as on dating sites and in online chat forums. As a result, pimps' role in the sex economy has been diminished. In addition, the online trade has helped bring the sex business indoors, with johns and prostitutes increasingly meeting up in bars, in hotels, in their own homes or in apartments rented by groups of sex workers. All this doesn't mean a john can't get what he's looking for in the park, but he had better be prepared to search awhile. Although putting numbers on these trends is difficult, the transition from the streets to the Internet seems to have been very rapid. In my own research on sex workers in New York, women who in 1999 worked mostly outdoors said that by 2004, demand on the streets had decreased by half. 2. Men visit sex workers for sex. Often, they pay them to talk. I've been studying high-end sex workers (by which I mean those who earn more than $250 per "session") in New York, Chicago and Paris for more than a decade, and one of my most startling findings is that many men pay women to not have sex. Well, they pay for sex, but end up chatting or having dinner and never get around to physical contact. Approximately 40 percent of high-end sex worker transactions end up being sex-free. Even at the lower end of the market, about 20 percent of transactions don't ultimately involve sex. Figuring out why men pay for sex they don't have could sustain New York's therapists for a long time. But the observations of one Big Apple-based sex worker are typical: "Men like it when you listen. . . . I learned this a long time ago. They pay you to listen -- and to tell them how great they are." Indeed, the high-end sex workers I have studied routinely see themselves as acting the part of a counselor or a marriage therapist. They say their job is to feed a man's need for judgment-free friendship and, at times, to help him repair his broken partnership. Little wonder, then, that so many describe themselves to me as members of the "wellness" industry. 3. Most prostitutes are addicted to drugs or were abused as children. This was once the case, as a host of research on prostitution long ago confirmed. But the population of women choosing sex work has changed dramatically over the past decade. High-end prostitutes of the sort Eliot Spitzer frequented account for a greater share of the sex business than they once did. And as Barnard College's Elizabeth Bernstein has shown, sex workers today tend to make a conscious decision to enter the trade -- not as a reaction to suffering but to earn some quick cash. Among these women, Bernstein's research suggests, prostitution is viewed as a part-time job, one that grants autonomy and flexibility. These women have little in common with the shrinking number of sex workers who still work on the streets. In a 2001 study of British prostitutes, Stephanie Church of Glasgow University found that those working outdoors "were younger, involved in prostitution at an earlier age, reported more illegal drug use, and experienced significantly more violence from their clients than those working indoors." 4. Prostitutes and police are enemies. When it comes to the sex trade, police officers have in recent decades functioned as quasi-social workers. Peter Moskos's recent book, "Cop in the Hood: My Year Policing Baltimore's Eastern District," describes how police often play counselor to sex workers, drug dealers and a host of other illegal moneymakers. In my own work, I've found that cops are among the most empathetic and helpful people sex workers meet on the job. They typically hand out phone numbers for shelters, soup kitchens and emergency rooms, and they tend to demonstrate a great deal of sympathy for women who have been abused. Instead of arresting an abused sex worker, police officers will usually let her off with a warning and turn their attention to finding her abusive client. Unfortunately, officers say it is becoming more difficult to help such women; as they move indoors, it is simply more difficult to locate them. Of course, many big-city mayors embrace this same turn of events, since the rate of prostitution-related arrests drops precipitously when cops can't find anyone to nab. But for police officers, it makes day-to-day work quite challenging. Officers in Chicago and New York who once took pride in helping women exit the sex trade have told me about their frustration. Abusive men can more easily rob or hurt a sex worker in a building than on the street, they say. And while cops may receive a call about an overheard disturbance, the vague report to 911 is usually not enough to pinpoint the correct apartment or hotel room. There are few things more dispiriting, they say, than hearing of a woman's cries for help and being unable to find her. 5. Closing ..........'s "adult services" section will significantly affect the sex trade. Although .......... offered customers an important means to connect with sellers of sexual services, its significance has probably been exaggerated. Even before the site's "adult services" section was shut down, it was falling out of favor among many users. Adolescent pranksters were placing ads as hoaxes. And because sex workers knew that cops were spending a lot of time responding to ads, they were increasingly hesitant to answer solicitations. I found that 80 percent of the men who contacted women via .......... in New York never consummated their exchange with a meeting. How the sex trade will evolve from here is anyone's guess, but the Internet is vast, and already we are seeing increasing numbers of sex workers use Twitter and Facebook to advertise their services. Apparently, the desire to reveal is sometimes greater than the desire to conceal.

As voraciously as I consume all of the info on cerb, I too, somehow missed this thread! I am greatful for all of the wonderful friendships that have arisen from my participation on cerb. It feels like a welcoming cocoon as soon as I log on! I have some fantastic friends that I have both met in person and some that I will probably never have the chance to meet. Just knowing that you are all out there and so very supportive makes me feel wonderful! I am happy to see that the "bump in the road" of late has been somewhat rectified. I would be lost without the wonderful people that take the time to participate and impart their wisdom, their humour and their insight! I raise my glass in a toast to all the fabulous cerbites!

So which MP exactly is it trying to make buying sex illegal? Bethany? imkrissy? CMJ? Michelle_MA?

I prefer kissing and hugging to spanking. No spanking by me on anyone.

My Saturday morning with Megforfun was one that I will remember for a long time. We have been PM?ing for a little while and told her a bit about myself so she would know what to expect when we would meet. At my arrival in her upscale location she opened the door while standing behind it with a smile and we shared an embrace as the door was closing. Meg is short(I?m 6?2? tall) and sexy she was wearing what I admit was really to my liking, a leather skirt with fishnet stockings, long leather boots, and a black tight to the body shirt and a sexy bra. I was in heaven. I followed her to the second floor and I?m sure she does this with everyone (it must be a trademark) she went up the stairs first so I can have a look at her perfect derriere in the tight leather skirt. Once we got on the bed some kissing and small talk was going on and I started to remove some clothing off of her and vice versa. Meg must have one of the most perfect body I have ever laid my hands on and she was told about my massage technique so I proceeded to offer her what she wanted. Meg had her own massage oil ready and I was anxious to start rubbing her back and bum has it was well rounded (bum that is) and baby soft. I made sure to keep talking to her since my massage technique often puts people to sleep and wanted to know more about Meg. After 15 minutes I asked her to turn over and we got into some DFK action, I love to kiss and so does Meg and when our lips met it was magical. I wanted us to discover more of each others body so caressing we did for some time. As we held in each others arms on the bed I decided to spoil her a bit more and took out an instrument I was keeping in my bag, a head massager. I had asked Meg to close her eyes and trust me, I think she did trust me and kept her eyes closed while I started to massage her scalp with this therapeutic head massager. It stimulates energy flow through your body and relieves stress, she could not believe how good it felt. Now that she was all (not that she was not before I got there) I put away this tool and started to use mine. Meg is an we both like the same sexual position and likes to make it . She put on the cover and I started missionary to get things going and then to doggy style which I wanted to see her perfect bum in front of me, what a view. Meg has got a wonderful pussy lips and I love looking at them when she was pulling out over my hard shaft. If I stayed in this position for much longer I would of exploded in no time so we switched to cowgirl and we had a rhythm going, so much grinding was happening and I could feel how wet she was. This is how I finished and we held in each others arms and laughed, I love watching Meg smile. I get up and take a shower and now I?m a believer, Meg is everything a man is looking for. I get dress and now it?s , I hold her in my arms and kiss her gently and I?m on my way. It?s been two weeks since I have seen Meg and I still have that big smile on my face just thinking about our time together. Thanks Meg hugs and kisses sexy.

First time posting a recommendation here in this section. I have had the pleasure of seeing April at relax and enjoy spa in the west end more than a few times now and every time I see her, it get's even better...If that's possible. As soon as I see her when I arrive I know I am in for a very fun time, not rushed at all! April is young, petite, and very beautiful as promised. She is an intoxicating mixture of innocence and seduction. Very nice soft hands, with a nice calming massage. The flip is even better. She has got some seriously skilled hands.(won't get too detailed) Tried my best to make it last, but you know how it goes...couldn't help it...lol Limited options, but this young lady has a heavenly touch! The place is very clean and upscale. With a fantastic shower! Would definitely recommend, looking forward to seeing her again sometime soon.

Rules for grocery cart travel 1. Always book through a reputable grocery cart travel agent. 2. Test drive your cart before accepting it as your final choice. Beware of: (a) Wonky Wheel - the cart that has a wonky wheel will whip your cream, scramble your eggs and bounce your beef. Wonky wheels are generally a front wheel that flutters wildly at any speed beyond a crawl. (b) Skid wheel. - the antithesis of wonky wheel, skid wheel locks up and makes it feel like you are pushing a snow shovel through three feet of snow rather than gently pushing your cart. 3. Avoid persons with blue hair, support hose, polyester pants, and thick glasses. Sure. They look like grandma. That's what they want you to believe. They are hell spawn. They use the innocent guise to take out their built up rage by targeting the Achilles tendons of anyone in their vicinity. 4. Avoid families. Families tend to park their carts in the dead centre of an aisle with the sole purpose of dominating a section and blocking you from getting what you want. Skirt around them and hit them from behind, using skills you learn from blue haired people. 5. Produce section. Vegan and environmentalist alert. You will see them, the gaunt and urban hip, patrolling the free range lettuce section. They sneer at your factory farm celery and prepackaged carrots. Fuck em up by taking the pepperoni sticks that you are going to buy, opening, eating and breathing on them. They will flee. 6. Dairy section. Frequently dominated by egg inspectors and milk carton expiration checkers. Nothing you can do about these, they are implicit in the region. Flatulence seems to be a short term plan to drive them off briefly, but they will return. 7. Frozen food aisle. Only a boon in the summer time. Personal experience says that it is impolite to ask buxom young women to remove their parkas mid winter whilst strolling in this section. 8. Bread and pastry aisle. Perhaps the one safe haven in the store, you can protect yourself between the standing piles of bread and pastry. 9. The checkout. Take the mid size line. The short line will be dominated by people who have healthier food than you and will mock you for the Pogos, pop tarts and frosted flakes in your cart. Longer lines are dominated by families sending their offspring for one last thing, alcoholics paying for their discounted food with dimes, nickels and pennies, and the blue haired people attempting to use coupons that expired in the 1970s. 10. Best advice? Move to a town that lets you shop online and delivers the food to you.
