Froggy, I want to say, as kindly yet as firmly as possible: Get over yourself. Now. Paid companions and clients do sometimes form permanent, committed relationships that are enduring, solid and richly rewarding for the two of them, their families and friends. It's a lovely thing when it happens. But whether it can happen successfully has everything to do with the man's ability to step away from the kinds of jealousies and possessive feelings that you're expressing. The simple reality is that most men are not good at what feels like sharing their partner with other men. There's nothing wrong with having a strong desire for monogamous exclusivity, but if your partner is a paid companion her livelihood can be a source of friction, resentment and pain if you can't or won't take a breath and step away from it, recognizing that how she earns her living is not at all about you. If you really want to get through this for the next year or so until she feels she can retire, I think you need to become more like her in some ways. Many paid companions, including me, become adept at compartmentalizing pieces of our lives. I spend the "working" part of my day answering e-mail, talking to clients on the phone, making appointments and having meetings. I start work in the morning and by 3:30, I let go of Samantha and turn back into me. I spend time with my son when he comes in from school. We walk the dog in the park together, maybe do some errands, then come home. I make dinner. I talk about homework. My real-life partner usually comes by for a little while before dinner, for the evening, or later on, or I may go out to see him. After my son has gone to bed, I check my e-mail and verify my schedule of appointments for the next few days. Then I turn off the computer and go to bed, whether on my own or with my partner. I don't talk about work with my partner, but he knows what I do: it's not a secret. I don't talk very much about my "real" life with my clients. I devote my attention to my clients when they're here. When they leave, I let it all go in the shower and when I do the laundry. As I write this, it's almost 1:00 p.m. on Thursday. I honestly couldn't say who I've seen this week without looking at my calendar. By the time I get into bed at night, neither I nor my partner will feel that I've had sex with anyone else recently because those clients are not in my mental or emotional space at all. I am only with him. No one else exists in my heart, my mind or my focus. Whatever I've done with a client that day is gone. If I was a psychotherapist, I would probably spend a lot of my time listening to people as they work on problems and issues in their lives. At the end of the work day, I'd leave all of that behind me and go home where I might listen to my family and friends talk about problems and issues in their lives, too. I hope I would be able to be as present and resourceful for my family as I am for anyone else. I wouldn't expect my family to avoid talking to me because I heard someone else's story that day. If I was an actor, I might portray someone who has a husband, partner or lover in a play or film. That "working" relationship wouldn't overlap or interfere with my "real life" relationships though: it's just work. "Just work" doesn't mean drudgery. Work can be enjoyable, rewarding and deeply fulfilling. But who I am in my worklife is not all of who I am all the time. I am a much more complete, balanced, complex woman than Samantha is. It's not easy to get to know me, though it's quite easy to get to know Samantha. If the woman you love is similar, congratulate yourself that she's let you in to know her. Understand that this is something she works very hard to avoid doing because it's surprisingly difficult for healthy paid companions to be emotionally close to clients and the consequences are potentially painful, or worse. Give up your paranoia that she may fall for someone else in the next few months. Trust her. In a companion/client relationship, it's all about him. In real life, it's all about the two parties, together. Focus on that. Enjoy being a couple. Focus on her. Put her first, focus on what she enjoys, love her and be as loving, considerate and thoughtful as possible. She will return it all two-fold, or more. If you withhold love, care, attention and affection, telling yourself that you're just protecting your tender feelings from the harsh realities of her working life.... stop. All you'll be doing is making her work to have a part of you. She doesn't need that. She gets plenty of that at work. If you want to be a partner, then be a partner, not a client.

The internet happened. It allowed independents to thrive but it took our freedom in more ways than can be listed here without sounding like a broken record. Services that we would limit to valued clients are now expected by all. The world wide web has been a blessing with a virus attached... cat

Before everybody piles on to this thread I think it should be noted that the OP is actualy paying homage to the many beautiful ladies who charge fair, affordable and reasonable rates, compared to the prices he payed many years ago when he left the hobby. Read the post again. We should be so lucky to enjoy the company of all these wonderful women!

PLEASE allow me to preface that my thoughts are in no way a judgement of a man`s behaviour but simply my particular feelings & observations on this post. Thank you. While I agree with so much of what others have said I have a separate concern. It was at the start of my SP life & will forever remain the reason why I would never enter into a permanent, non-financially motivated relationship with a client. Boyfriend, husband, partner, what have you. Especially if he saw me as a married man & expected me to believe he would be faithful to me forever. Why? Because if he cheated WITH me, he would cheat ON me. Has it even occurred that she may be more afraid & insecure than you? In all that you said you never mentioned her feelings. You discuss her finances, her independence, her impending retirement but if you go back over your post you use the word ` I ` a lot. You say she is perfect for you. But are you perfect for her? Sandi

Everything about this post makes me feel, as a woman, that we are just objects to you. If it was someone you knew, and you 'want to bend over', you wouldn't give her the respect of letting her know you'd found out her secret, you'd just go to the door and 'hope for the best'. Wow. And if it was someone you hate, her being an escort would give you grounds to 'make her life a living hell'?? Seriously? Is you found out a woman you know was an escort and you didnt' like her, her being an escort would be grounds for you to treat her like crap - or worse? I am very sad for you, that thoughts like that are what came into your mind about this question. And even more so, I'm sad, and scared, for the women in your life who may do things you don't approve of. If being an escort is a valid reason to make someone's life hell for you, what in the world are you doing on this board? This is a place of respect, admiration, and devotion for the people who make the choice to become a sex-worker. NOT for people who think our vocation is something they should be shamed or taunted for in real life.

Jug... this is chilling. You think it's not likely to happen, but if you knew the companion outside of hobbying and were attracted to her, having discovered that she's one of us, you'd set up a meeting without telling her and hope for the best? If that's what you're saying.... well, if it happened to me, I'd feel that my consent had been violated. Even if I was attracted to you in real life, being set up like this would be devastating. It would feel like a major breach of the boundaries I maintain between my ordinary life and my working life and I would feel very unsafe for a long, long time, anxious about what you might do or what you might say to others. I would feel extremely threatened. As for the companion being someone you hate and your statement that you'd meet her to be sure you had her identity correct before you "make her life hell," frankly, that just stops me cold, even as I sit here, writing this post. In thread after thread on this board, I read men's claims that they have well-founded concerns about fallout from meeting us. I don't recall any companion here relishing even a slim chance that she might be an unpleasant, disturbing surprise for a client, or a hope that she might be able to make a potential or former client's life hell because of something that's gone wrong in a meeting. Over and over again, other companions and I try to urge gentlemen here to relax, to be careful, but not paranoid, to trust us a little bit because we want a lot of the same things that you want. We try to point out that we have more to fear than you do. My impression is that most men here understand this, and that most believe that they're not going to hurt us because they don't think they're violent. Physical violence is only one kind of abuse and, horrible as it is, it's not as bad as emotional and psychological abuse.

For what ever reason's Stephanie's recommendations were removed, so I thought I would do this for the lady Stephanie, not for myself,not for Pink Kitty but recommeding her to others FOR HER benefit She was already well recommended by other gents, and I did see her over a month ago. She is fun,sexy as hell, likes to give you a great strip tease, and she loves her sex, you can and could be hooked on her. Again I doing this for the benefit of the lady, not myself, I know there was over 6 plus rec's on her if not more. A photo for those inquiry minds.

Beauty is so subjective and I think attitude and how you present yourself in terms of looking good for a customer and providing great service are key elements to making it in this business as opposed to someone just having model looks and charging a higher rate. As someone who does not have model looks, I consider myself an attractive and pretty woman and so do other people who have met me. I do perfectly fine thank-you very much. :)

And it would be two weeks, one week for posting inappropriate messages, one week for having someone else (my cat) access my account, sort of a multiple account notification infraction LOL RG

I've heard the term "model looks" girls before, so when I ask this, it's a more rhetorical question than anything. What exactly is a "model looks" girl. A woman who could be on Victoria's Secret, Sports Illustrated, Playboy etc etc etc magazines/catalogues. Or a lady that models high fashion, going down the runway. EVERY lady I have had the pleasure of meeting is beautiful. And it was much more than looks and services, it was, as Angela said, the whole package. RG

My personal opinion is that the best way to attract gentlemen is to attract dancers. Working in clubs, I've noticed that the more dancers there are, the more gentlemen come in. I know this isn't the other way around because when clubs require ladies to work slower shifts, it works and the gentlemen eventually start coming in. How do we attract ladies? Superior working conditions would sum it up. I also agree with you that clubs are interested in making money for themselves (we all all ultimately selfishly motivated) but clubs don't make money without dancers. They collect house fees, so we are also a source of income for them. In fact, I think they probably make more off each dancer than off each customer. And we attract in the gentlemen, creating another source of income for them. Just my opinion from working in the clubs.

At one time, you couldn't get work with an agency, if you didn't measure up to a certain standard because they figured the guys would not want an ordinary girl-next-door type. I know, because I had a friend who was an escort in Toronto in the 1980s and it was brutal. In 1995, was told I was "too old" when I started at age 35, but the agency owner, liked my attitude and advertised me at 29. Then I convinced her to let me advertise my own age, and "boom", lo and behold guys actually wanted to see a bigger, older woman (I weighed 150, then). We were basically told not to kiss, allow DATY and for duos, we had to use a dental dam (which to us, was a condom cut open). If they found out you did anything you weren't supposed to, you got ridden out of there. In-calls were unheard of, so if the agency owners didn't like you, you didn't work. The Internet paved the way for being able to work Indie and thus us ladies being able to provide the services we felt comfortable with. I have always been pretty open and always allowed kissing and DATY since 2000. As far as the model looks good, I have met very few ladies who actually fit that bill, so even when there were standards, it was subjective. I think it's really about the whole package, looks just being one aspect. I truly do believe that.

I think everyone has a different view on what model looks are. I can confirm there are stunningly beautiful women who charge the going rate! While no escort has a monopoly on sex, we have a monopoly on sex with US which means we can charge whatever we want and if a gent wants to have sex with US, he has to pay our rate. Another thing to notice is that women who charge high rates tend to be low-volume, and I believe that women who are low-volume provide better service. This is NOT a hard and fast rule, but a general observation. When I was dancing, the ladies who worked every day may siginficantly less money per hour than the ladies who danced only occasionally. I know for me, the fewer people I see, the more excited and enthusiastic I am, and I provide better service.

Great question, when did that change, I agree that back years ago, it was just a wham bam thank you thing, but now it is the GFE. And how lucky we are to have these ladies that make us guys feel so special and give us the opportunity to live a fantasy dream. We need to thank all the lovely ladies who have made the hobby such as great experience. Thanks to all the ladies.

Ahh, well where to begin... Today I had the good fortune, no that is not right. Today I had the pleasure of meeting for the very first time New Brunswicks own Sophia Varoushka. I must admit that it was not easy for us to finally meet as we have been chatting back and forth for some time now only to have schedules conflict. Regardless our schedules finally meshed and I now have reason to write another recommendation. So without further ado let me begin my praises. Upon knocking on the door to Sophias room I was greeted by a ray of bubbly sunshine on an otherwise miserably cold and cloudy day. Off to a good start I thought to myself! As she let me in I couldn't help but sneak a peak at her almost bare legs (fishnets are a wonderful thing) as she was shutting the door behind me. At this point she promptly sized me up so I took the opportunity to do the same (still going good I continued to say to myself). As she led me to the couch she allowed some more of her very fit, toned and very attractive body to reveal itself. I wonderful revelation it was! As we sat and talked I could not take my eyes off of her body, I realize not making eye contact when speaking to someone is rude but I couldn't help myself. So, yeah, as we sat and talked the strangest...no most innocent thing happened. Sophia started to apologize...for not having anything to offer me to drink. Since I was her first appointment she hadn't yet had the time to stock her fridge and because of this she apologized. How considerate, unnecessary but so very considerate. So after pleasantries were exchanged and apologies given she spoke the magic words "would you like to make yourself more comfortable?" Ordinarily I do not go into details of my encounters but I believe I will make a small exception in this case. I have never met a more flexible or agile woman in my life! The quickness and ease at which she obtained a new position was mind boggling, superman wouldn't be able to keep up. Do this, now this, how about this way...so much fun...so little time. So to conclude, before I see Sophia again I need to have at least 6 months of Yoga training under my belt and a minimum of two Red Bulls! Let me seriously close by saying if you seek a vibrant, sexy and smart lady you need to contact Sophia Varoushka!

I continue to be amazed in the way that the thread topics continually overlap with each other. This topic in one form or another continues to come up, and I for one am so glad that it does. I am still, in relative terms, new to this community and to what it is all about. Without exception, and perhaps I have been "lucky" in my experiences, but my encounters have all ranged from being really nice to incredible. When I say that, I am referring to the personal interactions and "connections." I simply want to say that the SP's are VERY GOOD at what they do. Right or wrong, every instance has left me with a feeling that they enjoyed our time together as much as I did. It would be very easy I think to fall in love with an SP, or at least develop a strong attraction, and that is being said from the perspective of someone who has had the love of his life and would not want to have another to replace her. Again, SP's are VERY GOOD at what they do. In your particular circumstance, you should feel blessed that you have met the love of your life and that she has found the same in you. Being an SP is a career choice, a job, and to do it well need not interfere with her "real life." If she wants to be successful, then it is her role to be "the" person for whomever it is that she happens to be with. As with any job, and I expect that it is the same for any person who wants the self satisfaction of being successful in a job, one gives everything to it at the moment. For you to make this work with her, then I expect that you will have to trust her, trust your own instincts. If there is love between you, then the professional side of her is that alone, and the personal side belongs to you. The fact that she enjoys what she does, and the fact that she takes pride in what she does must be a source of pride to you, otherwise I wonder where it will lead. A woman who is intelligent, has her own career, has her own life, goals and desires should be supported by her partner and if you are ready and able to do that for her, then you are set. If not, then jealousy I expect can be a very nasty relationship killer. Trust her, love her, support her, and perhaps that shall be returned to you many times over.

I was much more irritated than scared, Josbu, but only because I didn't think that the client had an actual interest in harming me. It's always possible that I could be wrong about that, though. While most successful companions have well-developed intuition, all of us take calls sometimes that we wish we'd turned away. We're human. I do think that many clients who say that they're in love are hoping for special treatment--particularly of the off-the-clock (that is, not paid for) variety. I'm sure lots of us have experienced sudden, mostly-groundless yet powerful infatuation at some time. I don't think I'll forget a particular new client who swept me off my feet one day. Everything he did, every way he touched me or looked into my eyes, the way he urged me just a bit farther, longer, harder... got to me big-time. It was one of the finest first encounters I've ever had and it left me so deeply rattled that I wouldn't see him again. To feel such openness, to feel so known, is powerful; it's also disconcerting when it happens out of context. That is, I revel in this kind of love-making with my real-life partner whom I love deeply and to whom I am fully committed. To have similar feelings stirred spontaneously by someone I don't know well is confusing. I chalk it up to biology--the mating instinct and all that goes with it. Such lust can be part of love, for sure, but love is more than that. When we're in love, our defenses come down. We open ourselves up to the other person, exposing and making ourselves vulnerable in the hope of developing a deeper bond. Unfortunately, this is also where the possibility that the relationship may become exploitative, abusive or dangerous may begin. It happens in dating relationships and it can happen in client/companion engagements, too. Relationships between companions and clients almost always have very strong fantasy components which, if coupled with either party's inability to distinguish between genuine love and in-the-encounter passion, can give rise to dangerous instability. And so, while a client and I may engage in our own playful and kinky version of "Beauty and the Beast," if the client believes that he has fallen in love with me, but I reject him, Beauty may become the Beast's unlucky victim. Real love is not found in what we feel or what we say: love is shown in what we do, regardless of how we feel at the time. The proof is in what one does when hurt, disappointed or angry. Love always seeks the highest good for the other party. That's why, if a client says that he loves me, I will be as warm, loving and understanding as possible when I decline to see him again.

Your wish has now come true, but your name is now Apex2006! :icon_wink: I wish all weekends were 3 day weekends!

Oh, yeah... sigh... Paid companions are better than girlfriends because we never make demands or talk about the future. A client can't walk though the door, at home, and have his partner naked and in bed within 5 minutes, or at least, not since the very early days of their marriage. But we're always ready, we always look as lovely as we can, and we always say yes to sex. The sex is always as good as we know how to make it. His pleasure comes first, or, at least, we don't have long meetings where we say, "Okay, so let me show you how I like it...". The men think that we're real, that women really can be this way all the time. They know that's not true, but they hope it might be. When a client says he loves me, I tell him I'm flattered. I change the subject. I know that what he means is that he feels something strong, right then. That's good, but it's still something that's all about him and not really about me, the woman who is not Samantha. Last summer, I had a client who became obsessed. Difficult. Demanding. Leaving flowers at my door, messages on my voice mail, in my inbox, whining when I didn't answer them at length. He wanted to drop by, take me to lunch, go for a walk, I said no over and over and over again. Then one day he came by my house and planted pink flamingos on the lawn, each holding a little card with a message for me. That's when I told him that if I ever heard from him again, I would report him to the police for harassment. A couple of months later, he created a new identity and a new e-mail, pretending to be someone else in the hope that he could get a multi-hour meeting with me at a downtown hotel. But my e-mail program picked up the fact that his IP address was the same as my harasser. I wrote a brief, straightforward e-mail and told him that I would report him if he tried that again and that I would be sure that the police knew all of his personal information so that they could find him and pay him and his wife a little visit. So far, that's kept him away. A couple of weeks ago, a new-ish client whom I'd seen four times said he thought he was falling in love with me. I told him it wasn't love, it was lust: he's in lust over the prospect of having his cock down my throat and fucking me in the ass. My policy is to believe very little of what a man says shortly before, or after, a blowjob. In my experience, the men who think they've fallen in love really want all the benefits of great sex without any of the relationship obligations. It's a great fantasy! I'm happy to explore this as often as they like . . . at my full hourly rate. :motion:

What can i say, the camera loves me ... Dont i look good in a suit??? :-)

Did you really feel these points of view had to be stated? Just the idea of finding some enjoyment in making another persons life a living hell is cause for concern and some serious reflection on your outlook. These are real people here.

I cannot really believe what I have just read here. I am certain that the vast majority of men and women on this board find the comment distasteful, disturbing and dangerous. I believe that most of us treat people as people first regardless of their sex, and that our personal interactions should demonstrate the respect that we have for each other, as everyone deserves. My experience here has demonstrated that the women are individuals with feelings, families, friends, just the same as anyone else. They have been caring, sincere, and honest. Their career choice requires that they use precaution in their meetings and this unfortunately is a reminder to them of that. Equally unfortunate is the fact that when a man expresses thoughts such as these it can reflect to some degree on the community of men as a whole, even at a subconcious level. For me it is disturbing and embarrassing to have felt a need to respond to a comment such as this. MY SP's are people first. Do onto others as you would have them do unto you.

Let's see, probably Woody Allen, but with less hair.

I don't know, although she's amazing looking, I wouldn't have categorized her fitness model-like. Maybe hot spinner girl next door. But it was a little while ago since I saw her.

What an exquisite thread! I present the lovely bummed Jayda! http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/album.php?albumid=2391&pictureid=14994
