Congratulations WrinkledinTime! I am thrilled that you have won this award. Your contributions to our community are invaluable as are your patience, thoughtfulness and fair-mindedness. Helping us understand the laws; regional changes in licensing; arrests, prosecutions and convictions is vital. The time and care you devoted to analyzing the Himel decision re: Bedford v. Canada resulted in a masterwork whose clarity is unrivalled, anywhere. Our debates over potential law reforms can, at times, become fraught with anxiety; your aptitude for calming fears while cutting through the extraneous worry and suspicion to get to the heart of what matters is inspiring. I want to extend my appreciation for everyone who was nominated for the men's and ladies' awards, and for all who voted with goodwill in good faith. The members who gave their best efforts to sort out confusion and to contain hurt feelings deserve everyone's regard. Other boards have attempted and failed to do what Cerb does very well: to create a space where paid companions and our admirers can come together not only to flirt with and entice each other, but also to develop a genuine recognition of the realities, needs and the challenges we face in our respective roles. The sex industry is an exotic carnival of delight, fuelled by primal desires and the unspoken longings, passion and darkness of human hearts. Consequently, while women's participation is essential, women's safety is never guaranteed. The sex trade is unquestionably dangerous for us. I believe that most men do not want to hurt anyone. In meeting with an escort, massage provider, dancer, model or other worker, men seek pleasure. Only the aberrant fringe takes pleasure in frightening others; even fewer relish violence. Nonetheless, when expectations are unmet; when anxieties run high; when a considerable amount of money may be involved; and when broken human beings find their vulnerabilities laid bare, the potential for a mutually satisfying encounter can go sideways with disastrous results. I am part of this community because I want to do what I can to mitigate against the disasters that ignorance and misunderstanding produce. Women's safety is my biggest concern. Only women who work in our industry have any idea of what it's like to do what we do, to be who we are and to manage the often competing interests in our lives. Communities that foster healthy relationships between paid companions and appreciation between companions and clients are vital ways to help companions stay safe and sane. We cannot remind each other too often that clients and companions basically want the same thing: to have pleasure in mutually rewarding ways. I want to extend my appreciation to Erotic Emily who was caught up in a whirlwind not of her making which she could not control even as she became a lightning-rod for some of the conflicts that are always part of a community. Emily is a beautiful woman who has much to offer her clients and to Cerb. My concern is that the events of the last week have isolated her radically from the community. I am very sorry that this happened to her. While there are good reasons for agency workers to be excluded from the private, SP-only area of this board, one of the major pitfalls of this division is that it is much harder for the independent ladies to give the agency ladies the full support and care that we extend to each other. Whether from being disregarded or from being placed on a pedestal, nothing is more dangerous for a companion than isolation. I hope Emily will accept my word when I say that the overwhelming majority of the independent companions here have expressed nothing but concern and support for her. We all look forward to getting to know her and to hearing her views and experiences. Finally, my thanks go to everyone who nominated me, voted for me, and supported me, publicly and in PMs. I feel blessed by your affection, care and respect.

Greetings fellow CERBians. I speak to you today, not as your president (we don't have one), not as the most popular member (that ship has sailed)... just as a guy who cares about this place. We have found ourselves over the past few days witnessing our own version of 9/11. We have endured and are enduring a crisis of the value of membership, the value of participation and the value of being who we are. Let's not quibble over the purpose of this site. It is an Escort Recommendation Board. That's what the big banner in the top left corner says. We all joined for one of two reasons. Either we are a consumer and as such wish to interact with providers, read recommendations and then book appointments with said provider(s) OR we are providers and as such wish to interact with our clients, provide consumer information about availability, prices and services, and ultimately book appointments to provide services to the consumer. Bare bones, that's what this site is all about. We have become a community as a result of the tireless efforts of the many. That community is in jeopardy as a result of the capricious efforts of the few. This is NOT an us against them, penis vs vagina, male vs female community. Some have tried to turn it into that. None of us should be using this community to exert POWER. It is not about politics, it is not about any kind of "ism." This community is at its absolute BEST when we treat each other as equals and enjoy playful banter without being stigmatized. I suggest that we have two camps that wish to fight a small battle regardless of the innocent casualties incurred. While I see the merits in both arguments, THIS IS NOT A BATTLEGROUND NOR IS IT A PLACE TO FORWARD YOUR OWN POLITICAL AGENDA. I still have hope that we can return to what we once were, that we can again become a lively community where no one will fear causing offence to others. My CERB will always be a welcoming place where people can have naughty fun; it is my hope that yours can and will be as well. OD 10/9/11 @1:34 pm

I am not exactly sure that this an appropriate thing to do here but I'm asking anyway. I have a friend in Mtl who is a single mother with a 16 yr old autistic son. She lives to make sure her son is constantly stimulated with life and his dreams. They are sometimes simple. He has been fascinated with balloons his whole life. But something as cheap as a hot air balloon ride is not in her finances. So she entered a contest. The kindness here would be if you took 30 seconds and went and voted for her picture. All you have to do is click on vote. No scam, no registering, just a 16 yr old who has a chance for a simple balloon ride. Thank you Chanel http://www.ballooncanada.com/index.php/en/concours_banque_laurentienne/decouvre_la_photo/110/popularite

1 * Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue! 2 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. 3 * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. 4 * Drive carefully... It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.. 5 * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague 6 * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.. 7 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. 8 * Never buy a car you can't push. 9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on. 10 * Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. 11 * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late. 12 * The second mouse gets the cheese. 13 * When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. 14 * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live. 15 * You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person. 16 * Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once. 17 * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box. 18 * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour. 19 * Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today. 20 * It was I, your friend! *Save the earth..... It's the only planet with chocolate !*

For me chemistry is all that matters. I want to see some one whose company I'd enjoy as much with our clothes on. I like to banter a bit and get a sense of whether we're sympatico about a bunch of stuff. I don't ask questions about menus or anything like that. I won't see some one just for the sake of seeing them. Peace MG

Your question sounds like it's geared towards the gents, but I'd like to answer anyways. Chemistry is so important to me. It's the difference between thinking: "Oh my god, when is this going to be over?" and "Wow, I can't believe I'm getting paid for this! This is awesome!" Obviously I prefer the second. I'm able to judge somewhat from my screening if there will be chemistry between us, and if I get the feeling it may not be there, I generally turn down the appointment. But you can never really know and it does happen that gentlemen arrive with whom I have no chemistry. It's nobody's fault. I just do my best to provide the best possible service, and then I will not see him again, though that feeling is generally mutual. I also expect that many gentlemen read my posts and able able to judge if I'm someone they would like to spend time with. My thoughts.

Some of you lovely gentlemen need to book appointments with the new ladies and find out. Otherwise you will just sit and wonder!! :icon_smile: :icon_smile: No booked appointments equeals no recco's.

I guess that leaves the two of us all alone now? :( lol Maybe we should fix that, Katherine!? ;) xox

Done...and would be willing to give $50 towards a balloon ride if they don't win. Anybody care to match?? How's that for random? E.

I could be wrong, but I think Rockstar might be looking for the next 'hidden gem'. Sadly, I don't think anyone new has been rocking the industry here in Winnipeg. However, there are still very professional, reliable, friendly, fit, attractive, enthusiastic and honest providers in Winnipeg. I'm getting a little tired of constantly reading on the other board how brutal and 'bottom of the barrel' it has become in Winnipeg. It's just not true. And it's about time someone said so. I think it's about time someone defended the women who keep appointments, don't answer their phones during a session, accommodate your schedule to the best of their ability, provide fresh and clean sheets every time, take time to set the mood, dress in sexy lingerie, do their hair and make-up after having freshly showered, make you feel comfortable and incredible, providing all the services they advertise, for the fee advertised and no up-sells. I know a few Sps like that and I don't think their phones are ringing off the hook, like they should be. Of course I personally wouldn't know. I'm in Saskatoon this month. ;)

The cerb community has been expanding lately with lots of hot new members, from the Maritimes, Ottawa, Toronto, and the West, and I'm pleased to extend a warm welcome to you all. I'm sure you'll help to keep this a lively and interesting site. We look forward to your input, and your positive energy. Please don't hesitate to contact me or other members if we can be of any help in getting oriented here. We want this to be a friendly and welcoming community, so, welcome!!!!

I had the pleasure of meeting a brand-new masseuse named Melia-Rae over the weekend. Gorgeous, hot, and sweet. Beautiful face, amazing body, nice d-cup breasts, firm shapely bum...Lovely, lovely, lovely. with long straight natural red hair. Nice technique, sensual body slides, great finish. The redhead of my dreams, in person. You can do reverse massage. Within the normal massage limits, it's all positive. Here's her link: http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/member.php?u=55690 Melia is an indie, so you can contact her through cerb. I have edited the post, with apologies for an unintentional error. I should have said the usual rules on touching, not restrictions.

Shortcake's burfday party??? Does that mean spankings and pinches to grow inches???

Lets make this interesting and say the men that join us must be interactive with each other!!

To me meeting a "non recommended" lady is much the same as meeting a lady in real life. By using you God given ability to speak, listen, understand and think for yourself you can make a wise and informed decision. Don't ever underestimate the power of conversation when you wish to meet someone here on Cerb. As said in countless threads before if you are respectful the lady will answer your questions and respond to your comments, and she may even ask you a question or two...thus a dialogue is opened. A date, much like a relationship, is forged on trust and communication and YOU can't trust somebody by relying on someone else's opinion! So basically recommendations are both important and not important at the same time...quite a paradox, no?

Having to take your daughters cat to the vet and knowing that it would not be coming home. :(

She was working with us for a couple of days but appearantly they CC, begged her to come back and she was showing some loyalty to Phoebee, former owner of T2T// I do respect that, and she did well here and I wish her well. Just so everyone isn't confused.

Just a thought, instead of waiting to see a current recommendation before seeing a lady, see a lady, and write a recommendation I personally don't like the phrase TOFTT...really you are seeing a lady for yourself not some imagined team. But if you see a lady you like, write a recommendation...irrespective of whether one has been written on her before. A quick thought RG

Well established SP's, ones that have been around for a few years don't get a lot of reviews. Not because there services aren't so good anymore, but because everyone thinks, been reviewed so many times, everyone knows there good, I don't have anything to add. Those SP's get shorted on reviews, but would probably never ask. I don't see harm in asking for one, so long as nothing extra is offered up or demanded.

Isabella's truly beautiful inside and out. She has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I've met (or haven't met :p ) and she's not afraid to show it. Thank you for the unprovoked heartfelt PM's you've sent me in respnse to some of my more personal, intimate threads Isabella. They meant a lot more than you know. <3 xoxo Posted via Mobile Device

Samantha is right! World peace is far more important than a secret :)

I have a HARD ATTACK just reading this thread!! I guess it will be wet and stormy out east!! SNS724

Ok Angel :) let me get this straight.... Angel, Emma, Gabriella, Cathy, and Malika !!! And you tell me to behave myself !!! Your nucking futz ;) haha Probably best I wasn't invited. Could be one big horny mess and dangerous to a guy's health..... I will check with the surgeon general on that one ;)

by using one of the computers in the air canada lounge in the calgary airport - I was able to vote twice within 24 hours ... look for public computers :)

20 months ago I posted a question in the adult section of a site. The question was Where could I advertise as an escort and feel safe and comfortable about it? And that was the first time I heard about CERB but it was also the first time I received a friendly gesture from a member here (more than one actually) that not only took the time to respond to my question but also to give me advice on what to do and what not to do and that was just the start, throughout my time here I have received many many gestures like that. From ladies who helped this newbie to gentlemen who believed in me. Looking back at when first join the first thing I remember now that I'm at 1000 posts was thinking I will never even get to 100 ... what do these people talk about, anything besides sex? Well, I was so wrong!! Not only I have posted A LOT but have interacted in many ways with people from this community. In my time here I have learned lots and seen lots and being on cerb helped in many ways I never expected, I have discovered things about myself I never knew I had, I learned to once again trust myself, I have met awesome people that even for a short period of time have become important for me, some even without having met in person. And you'll think what does that have to do with posts but some of those people approached me because of my posts or the other way around. I could say a lot more but will save that for my 2 year anniversary ;) Now I will focus in the posts, each of them has given me the opportunity to share a piece of me with you nice people, to say things I would probably never tell anyone else and yes, the support from you gave me the confidence to always speak up my mind and for that I will forever be grateful :) This has really become a part of my life and I love it and don't plan to stop posting any soon so guys get ready for the 2000 and hopefully many more Issy-posts to come ;) Thank you so much for reading them and those who take the time to respond to them ... You are awesome!! xoxo Isabella Gia

Well if I told you guys, it wouldn't be a secret anymore. And if I did tell you, then everyone would want to try it (several times). I wouldn't want to inflict that on the world. Nobody would get anything done!

Sometimes its the longer tease that can make that part inevitable. I break down an r&t into 3 parts, smooth transitions. 1/3 basic neck to ankle massage....1/3 teasing and sensual touch definitely while still laying in that same position, 1/3 slow and drawn out and varied hand work. By varied I mean no jack hammer up and down wacking away like a power tool. There are lots of ways to play around there, lots of directions, one hand, both hands, palms, wrists, fingertips, etc. Its very seductive.

I have heard (like everybody) of sps offering specials to those who give recos. Unfortunetly, there is no real way to know if they are real or not out of checking the dates and by who they are made...

It's the male facsimile blow up dolls that look like Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Harper that creep me out. But the Deuce Bigelow doll has a nice smile.

That must have been quite a while back. I'd heard they were replaced by Various Irritating Agencies of Governmental Religious Authority.

Most of the real religious zealots can be found inside the Concerned Liturgical Organizations Seeking Erotic Temperance.

I was too slow on the draw so I like Winnipeg Cub because he is a comes across as a gentleman and is a positive contributer to the CERB community and I like Angela of Ottawa, always insightful in her posts, a positive influence on CERB, and one of the great ladies I've met in Ottawa...as great in person as on the board RG

Congrats as well to you both! This community is enriched by both your contributions. I always enjoy reading your thoughts, insight and your due dilligence to keeping us informed in all aspects of this business. Both of you are invaluable to this community and I look forward to learning more.

Your name in the industry is your "brand" - the more unique you can be the more brand potential you have. Why would anyone want to be someone else?

Maybe after I get to know the lady a bit. As I said in another thread, anything shorter than an hour, especially for the first couple visits, seems artificially short.

This is what a inbread cat looks like...

Well you did teach me a lesson, and I'm sure hundreds others who've read this thread so you are making a difference. Thank you.

Good points, I find that men here in Ottawa are sending more pm's requesting info about so and so OR are starting a thread about "Has anyone seen so and so?" please pm me for any info. There is more of that lately then actual rec's. As far as..." is there even such a thing"? The answer is no. Simply because no two gents are cut from the same cloth, therefore the rec gent 'x' made about the lady, gent 'y' would never have the same great time. IMHO

Any SP who advertises CID as a way to say they provide bareback intercourse, obviously doesn't give a shit abut herself, or her clients. I'd say to be on high alert for any ads with those abbrieviations listed in the services!

I recommend ladiitrill! Aims to please...hmmmm :)
