Totally agree. It has to be multiple choice poll. Also age should be added, as in my case the age between 19 to 25 is the decisive factor. If I meet an SP for first time I wouldn't know about her personality but that too is a decisive factor for a repeat. Services must include kissing or it is a no go for me, no other service or services is a requirement for me. So, in this poll since I have to choose only one option, I voted for services, personality (If I have seen the SP) are more important. If I had multiple choice, I would have voted for age, personality, services, looks and reviews in my order of importance for a first timer SP and personality, age, looks, services for a repeat SP, again in the order of importance.

I don't know if it's already been said but they should never remake "Good Fellas". Actually I'm watching it on t.v. right now.

One of the very essential surviving factors in a relationship is honesty. Your partner is your lifeline, the one person on this planet you can feel completly honest with. No matter what, if you aren't being honest, consider yourself a cheater.

I expect that if all of the SP's pooled their stories and anecdotes that there is a bestseller in the works for the person that puts it together. Sometimes we do find the misfortunes of others funny, and after a period of time, funny even to those who suffered the misfortune. An example of this is the thread started by Megan about Best Fail Moments at http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=28938 and there are some hilarious stories in there. Recently I had an experience where I thought that I would have to cancel a date with less than one days notice. IF it had happened, I doubt that it would have been accepted as valid, but honest, this is the truth. You see, I have a severe allergy to wasp stings, but not to bee stings. A wasp sting causes severe pain, severe swelling, severe itching and burning, and does not go away in a matter of hours - it is days or weeks. Bees, no similarity. Anyway, the day before this encounter, I was outside, wearing nothing but a pair of very loose fitting shorts and I got stung. I knew it was a bee or a wasp. That was easily determined because you KNOW when you get stung. But I was not just stung anywhere, oh no, the little bugger had flown up my shorts, and must not have liked what it saw, so it decided to let me have it right on my balls. And then, reactions kick in. I swatted it. Double pain. Oh shit! They say that just before you die your life flashes before your eyes. Well this experience may be a close second. Pain, and then, "Was it a wasp or was it a bee"? And then, "If it was a wasp, will they ever believe me when I cancel"? The shorts were dropped, and upon investigation, I found the bee. Thank the good Lord above! OK, so this has made me wonder when I hear of guys cancelling at the last minute, what were the best stories that you may have heard as an SP, especially if you KNOW they were speaking truth? Or maybe it is the ones that you'd never believe, like, "I got stung on the balls by a wasp." Anyone care to top the excuse that I did not have to use? Guys, you can file that one away for when you need it, but trust me, you don't want this to happen to you.

Good eye contact, appearing like you're having fun, etc. is good for business whether you are onstage or not. What you are describing to me is not artistry or theatrics, it's just a basic stage show.

Oops, I was a little slow wit that last one! Social Distortion - Ball And Chain

Well, the definition of cheating seems to have been hammered out pretty well. But another, related question: how many relationships do SPs *save*, by providing a no-strings-attached escape valve for people which carries none of the potential for fallout of a full-blown affair? [edit: as RG suggests, maybe this needs a new thread...]

Life is not simple like you said. Only "you" know what your home situation is like and nobody else. So you look in the mirror every day just like me and make the decisions to do what you feel you need to do. Don't stop if you don't want to, don't live in shame, don't get depressed, and don't feel condemned. Have a drink if you like...I will join you .....Cheers ! As far as the shoe being on the other foot ! Well now.....we have all thought about that I am sure. or been there ! At the end of the day here we are on Cerb and hobbying for whatever reason. Not to be judged. Little of this :aol_makeout:and this :makeout: and this this and this :butt::boobeyes::spank: then some of this :rockyou: oops put this on first :condom: thennnn some of this :aol_missionary: and :aol_doggystyle: and then:spermy3: Yup I like my emoticons and to keep things simple and relaxed. Life is short people. Early 40's and have battled cancer. life is good now. I do what I do. My choice ! Sorry if I offended anyone by my post.

Speaking for myself, I condemn no one. I will judge you only on the basis of your conduct with me. Unless I have heard a negative report from another companion whose opinion I value, that is, in which case I will simply decline any opportunity I may have to meet you. The way I look at it, what happens between you and me is separate from the rest of my life, and yours. Shame and self-hatred are terrible things. If these are some of what you feel, perhaps you might find a good therapist to be helpful to you. Be aware, though, that the therapist will want to talk about your marriage, what it means to you and why you're staying. The answers to these questions will be different for everyone. Our lives may have similarities, but our needs and values are individual. Go easy, friend.....

Let's play a game..... SPOT THE MILLIONAIRE!!!!!

I tried to see her on a Tuesday but an emergency meeting demanded I cancel. I had confirmed with her three hours prior, and cancelled only fifteen minutes to my appointment. She was gracious and sweet in accepting my apologies. On Thursday I made another booking and didn't miss this one. As stated by others, the building is a little sketchy but her apartment is not. And she's a toned, tattooed babe with a winning smile and lovely playful personality. And that ass - vavoom! Her massage is near therapeutic - in fact she recommend I see an RMT as my knots were the worst she'd ever seen. But with her strong caring hands, my relaxation was made full and complete. I've never posted here before because I've never felt such admiration for an MP. I'll deffo be back Vienna, though I suspect your calendar may be difficult to penetrate soon...

Hello everyone, I may ruffle a few feathers but after reading many threads over the past several months in the General Discussion area, I have a few things I need to address and have faith that most of the hobbiests here are Gentleman I would consider spending my time with. First off, I have learned many new acronyms or Urban Dictionary terminology from the threads on this board. Do I agree that a vagina is a pussy or kitty? I do not, but the word surfaces daily on this board in discussion. I may just not be cut out to read these threads as I am a woman with substance and will not let you know how big my other lips are, if it's shaved or unshaved, or respond publically to any of these threads. Is it just the ignorance of grasping for the proper ways to ask a question? I"m sure I will quickly figure out the answers and have so far continued the faith that the Gent's who start these threads are respectful. However, I'm having a hard time just seeing these threads up even though I don't read them. So when I wake up with my morning coffee, log into to read the General Discussion area and see thread titles of "Daty vs Digits." "Greek or no Greek", etc. It really makes me question things here and a few have almost made me spit of my coffee on a few occasions. Every sensual, sexual erotic encounter is a gift for both the provider and client and I will use "YMMV" for this one. Please don't disrespect us, get to know us a little and ask us personally. Please always remember as well that we are women. If ever I had anyone in my personal life speak to me in this way they wouldn't be with me. Yet, here we are spoken to this way, asked very personal questions, menu item questions randomly thrown out there, etc. I may be old school but do believe old fashioned chivalry goes a long way, even here as we explore our sexual needs. I will always value and cherish my clients that treat me as Erin, not as a menu item or topic of the ??? day.. Hoping this falls upon understanding ears and do enjoy being a part of this board. I just had to get it off my chest as this has bothered me for some time. Cheers! Erin

Exactly...if you can't tell your wife what your doing in fear of hurting her or arguing then it's cheating...be in being on here,chatting to someone ,meeting them for coffee etc...then it's cheating. Sometimes you have to put yourself in the others shoes to see how you would feel...would you mind if she went to see hot male strippers with the girls? Would you mind her chatting with some dude on msn? Would you mind if she met with a guy for lunch? just my thoughts.

This is one where you may need to have more than one choice as I suspect most of the guys here look at multiple factors. For me, it would be all of the choices you list except for referral from friends.

Three's Company and then the very short lived..Three's a Crowd. Charlie's Angels Wonder Woman Dukes of Hazard Incredible Hulk Alice Gimme a Break Silver Spoons The Facts of Life The Cosby Show A Different World Punky Brewster Moonlighting Life Goes on Who's the Boss Growing Pains Twin Peaks Married with Children

I am surprised nobody has mentioned threes company. I must say this was the best comedy I ever watched and I must have watched each episode at least twenty times and still it makes me laugh.

Well now. I was going to stay away from this thread. But hey... I can't. I am a cheater ! Feels like I am at an AA meeting or something. My wife doesn't know about my hobby so right wrong or indifferent I am a cheater. Young kids, marriage romantically dead and beyond repair and for those that want to suggest counselling. Don't. My point here is that my family is together, my kids are happy and have their daddy there, my wife and I get along as what you call parents and room-mates. I am not having an affair with the disgruntled horny wife down the street that causes two divorces. I am cheating. Happily (which may sound sad) in the SP/Hobby world with a very very very select few ladies that I enjoy to spend time with. I am not out prowling for a bbbj or a quickie. I am looking for a few hours here and there with a wonderful lady to share a relaxing yet exciting time with. Whatever happens happens. No strings, no attachments but for me there has developed friendships. I think. lol Which is nice. So there. I am a cheater. Plain and simple. And you know what ? Life is good and I smile more now and am happier this past year+ than I have been in quite some time. Because of that my household is a happier place too. K ... I am done typing now ;)

Cheater? Yup I have no choice but to own it. Not always proud of it and I would never try to justify it. And I have need to lay blame. I'm sure there are players on both sides who are "cheating" or living other lives. Simply....it is what it is. Peace MG

As an MA virgin, I decided to check out the MA experience after reading the glowing recommendations of Emily. I arrive at Paradise Spa and think the lobby is well decorated and the receptionist comes out and we do the business end of things and she says have a seat, I will go get Emily. I only sat for a moment and I hear a set of high heels coming, I stand up and the Oh So Hotttt Emily introduces herself and says follow me OK I am completely in awe as I follow her down the hall and yes I was looking at her fantastic ass. Emily gave me a quick tour of the spa and I was very impressed on how well appointed the rooms were. Kudos to Paradise. The very Erotic Emily has a look to her that really turns my crank and her very friendly personality is so welcoming. Emily has such a petite gorgeous body and everything is so divine. So easy on the eyes but hard on the other thing :icon_wink: From start to finish the encounter was Erotic It was my pleasure to have Emily pop my MA experience cherry. Intense to say the least. In summary, I will go see Emily again needless to say this is what I look like now :icon_biggrin:

One of my favourite, long-standing clients died recently. I wrote about that, here. I will attend the funeral because he was well-known in Vancouver. The funeral will be held in a church; many people are expected to attend. The question about whether it's okay for a paid companion to go to a client's funeral has come up before, but it's been a couple of years since we had that discussion. In case it might be useful, helpful or reassuring to anyone on the board, I'm re-opening the topic. I apologize in advance for the length of this post! In the other part of my life, some time ago, I seriously considered becoming a funeral director because, for various reasons, I'd worked closely with quite a few funeral homes. I also used to do volunteer work with a hospice and ve attended many dozens of funerals over the last 20 years or so. I'm writing from that experience. When someone dies, the very best, and very worst, aspects of their relationships with family and friends are likely to be in the spotlight. Families always want to be seen as normal, unremarkable, with no secrets or scandals to be noticed. Unfortunately, most families are not so ordinary. Everyone has secrets and some of them may not go to the grave with us despite our best efforts to conceal them. You can always call the funeral home and ask how many people they're expecting to attend the service. They'll tell you if it's just going to be a small, private family service, or if they're expecting a couple of hundred people. Funeral homes are asked this very question several times a day. Estranged family members, former spouses and other people who have had a difficult relationship with the deceased, or with members of his/her family, often call the funeral home and ask this question. There's no need to feel conspicuous or awkward for asking! Most funeral directors take seriously their value as an intermediary between the bereaved family and others. Unless the deceased person is quite elderly, or has been shut-in for a long, long time, or had a disability that seriously restricted their ability to be out in the world, funeral services often have a wide variety of people attending. They don't all know each other. Many people will be there who may hardly know the deceased, but have accompanied their spouse or a friend who did know him/her. There is often a "viewing" or a gathering before the actual funeral. Depending on who the deceased person was, how long they've lived in their community and how well-known they were, there may be a couple of these gatherings. One may be held the evening before the funeral, for example, or a couple of hours before the funeral itself. These gatherings take the place of wakes which were commonly held many years ago. They tend to be small and quiet. People who have known the deceased person have an opportunity to go to the funeral home, or in some cases, the church, view the body and spend a few moments in quiet reflection. Family members are usually present at these viewings. Many people who knew the deceased person very well are likely to attend. There may be food and drinks available. People will have informal conversations about the deceased person, sharing memories and talking about how he or she affected their lives. It is very difficult to be inconspicuous at one of these gatherings, and so, as a paid companion, I would never attend. My presence is only likely to raise questions for the family and friends; that would be a violation of confidentiality. If, however, the deceased person is very famous, or a head of state or, say, a current or former provincial premier, and there is a large public viewing where potentially hundreds of people may attend to pay their respects, I would probably be one of the people in the crowd. If the service is being held in a church, there will usually be a lot of people there. If the whole service is being held at the graveside, fewer people will attend. Personally, I would not attend a graveside funeral for a client because those awkward scenes in movies where someone unexpectedly shows up at the graveside service are, sadly, fairly realistic. I have been at several graveside services where someone unexpected arrived; it would not be appropriate for me to cause consternation or worry for the family by attending this more private kind of memorial. On the day of the funeral, if the deceased died suddenly and unexpectedly, or if their death was violent, it would be unusual for members of the family to be greeting people at the door of the funeral home or church when people arrive. If the deceased had been ill for a long time and was on good terms with his/her family, it's more likely that family members will be greeting people when they arrive. You might need to make a judgment call about this, but it would be unusual for anyone greeting folks as they arrive to ask questions about why someone is there. There's usually a guest book available for signing. I wouldn't sign it, if I was at a funeral for a client. There's often a gathering after the service, too. I wouldn't attend because this is another time when questions about how someone knows the deceased would be most likely to be asked. I also wouldn't go to the burial if it's happening after the service. Again, most of the people who attend the service won't go to the graveyard, so there's nothing conspicuous about staying away. Going, however, could raise questions. But if there will be more than about 80 people at the funeral, to arrive at the funeral home or church only a couple of minutes before the service starts, to sit near the back of the chapel or church and to leave when it's over, shouldn't be a problem. Other people will do the same thing for different reasons. When I attend my client's funeral, I will dress inconspicuously. I will not wear all black, though I may wear a black dress with a coloured jacket over it. I do not want to appear to be in grief or significantly mourning my friend because I do not want to call attention to myself. I may sign the guest book if it there are more than about 200 people at the funeral. Otherwise, I won't. If I do sign it, I will sign it in my own name. Samantha will not be at the service. If anyone asks me how I knew the man who died, I will give a vague answer along the lines of having worked with him on a project a few years ago. I may say that he gave me some good advice that has made a lot of difference in my life and so I wanted to pay my respects. It's important to recognize that by not saying anything or by declining to answer the question,I draw more attention than if I give this kind of bland reply. I have to take seriously the fact that I do not know this man's family and friends and that I am an attractive woman who is at the funeral by myself. Unfortunately, people being as they are, there is often a group of people hoping, secretly or not so secretly, that something exciting or titillating may be revealed about the deceased. I do not want to give anyone the impression that I may have been one of the man's secrets. I can't ask my partner to attend the funeral with me because, of course, he doesn't know that this man was a client of mine. I'm sure that the common-sense value of much of what I've written, here, is evident. More than anything, I hope that everyone, particularly my sister companions, will simply take the time to think things through. The loss of a client through death is a serious and important event. We are all entitled to our sorrow and to find appropriate ways to mark their passing.
