I understand what you mean, and while a client can get an anonymous cell phone/identity etc really what the "no blocked number" (in my perspective), is the willingness to comply to the requested protocol of the lady. If a client is unwilling to follow the most basic rule, I feel that indicates that they are less likely to follow other rules that are outlined in the session. If somebody is reluctant to follow the most basic protocol, how are we to trust they will follow any others? It works both ways as well, if a lady you are contacting pays no attention to the discretionary rules/protocol you ask for etc, how are you to trust her further? A little consideration goes a long way, both ways. Just my two cents....

I personally don't think you ladies should be answering blocked calls at all. If a guy doesn't trust you enough to at least let you see what number they are calling from, then why the heck would you trust him enough to let him know where you live/do incalls or allow him entry to your incall location. This is basically an issue that goes both ways. All you should say is sorry but I don't speak with people calling from blocked #'s. The guys who are legit will get back to you and the losers playing games won't be able to. Even if you miss the occasional legitimate appt. it isn't worth the other 99 times you have to put up with the guys calling you up so they can jerk off. I'm not 100% certain but I'm certain someone told me once, you can either set your phone or buy a service from the phone company where blocked/unknown numbers won't even ring on your phone. They quickley go to a message that says this phone will not allow blocked or unknown numbers. Sure for us pooners it can be a pain sometimes. I used to work in a building that has steel reinforced concrete walls. There was no way I could get a cellphone signal in or out of there. Thus my only option was a land line that I couldn't use to call an SP so I was often SOL.

How about your mom? I hear she's been getting a lot of play lately ;)

Let us talk about sex. Everyone here likes sex. :) At least we can agree on that! With a (hopefully) passable attempt at humour, Amelia. xoxoxoxxoxo

Of the ladies that have a cancellation fee in their policies, it is written in clear BLACK & WHITE on our websites (which we ask all potential guests to view in its entirety prior to booking an encounter) that way there are NO surprises. As its been said before and ill say it again if you dont like a ladies policy look else where, don't bitch about it, as its what works for her and LOTS of people have no problem complying with them. As well more and more ladies are requiring references, so before you think its as easy as finding someone new to visit with, I would think twice about booking a lady that you don't respect her policies. As if you waste her time or cancel with no notice chances are she wont be vouching for you and will you will be most likely listed as a time waster or a last minute canceller. As well referring to how any one else runs their business as tasteless is ignorant and negative towards other ladies and how they conduct business, something that is not acceptable on this board.

In light of needing to lift my spirits these days, I thought this would be a good thread to start. Basically, the way this will work is that everyone will post something they like about the person who posts before them. Even if you don't know the person, maybe a good suggestion is to look through their photos/posts or even commment on the very post before yours. Hopefully this thread will be ever-lasting and people will feel the ongoing love from their CERBies! Love and care for yourselves. Xo Sky

This topic could overlap with several others, but I think it deserves its own thread. I have a client with a physical disability. He's paraplegic, in a wheelchair. He can stand up, but he doesn't walk. He's fully functional and a lot of fun to be with. My incall location isn't wheelchair accessible. The first time I saw him, we met in a hotel. I've seen him in his home four or five times since then. He's charming, great to talk to, empathetic and very kind. He's also a great lover. When he first contacted me, he asked whether I catered to special needs and explained his disability. We spoke on the phone at length before we met. He seemed a bit shy, and I had the impression both that he's mostly seen paid companions since he became disabled and that many others had turned him down. He feels he needs more help than most women would be willing to offer, but that's not my experience at all. I can't imagine why he wouldn't make a fine partner for a good woman. What are others' experiences of clients with disabilities? What helped? What would you do differently? What do you need to know before you meet with the client?

I agree with Zoe. It is basic common knowledge to not call from a blocked number, especially when it's in bold cap's in the SP's ad. That along with text message's that are usually a hey, or hi. How about a "Hi _____ I saw your ad and would be interested in " " at such and such time". The one's that are so vague wind up being about a good half hour of texting back and forth, when a phone call is going to be required to confirm an appt eventually anyhow. Why not just send one initial one, check availability and then call with your question's? It's amazing how much faster a call can take and you could be on your way to that appointment within the hour. I remember before everyone learned to text how much easier and convenient it used to be with a simple 2 to 3 minute phone call. Sure there are pay as you go phone's, it can be looked at as a false sense of security. But usually when someone spends money on a phone, spends more money to put minute's on it, they aren't usually a WOT. What is the point of calling from a restricted #? If I accidently answer it or get frustrated from it ringing every ten minute's, and finally answer it to politely ask them to call from an unblocked # some might but most don't. Which boggle's my mind. Did someone just want to hear the sound of your voice, or perhaps try to get away with something that has been clearly asked not to do? Zoe said it best if they can't follow a simple protocol, what boundaries might they over step if you book with this person. I like having a number incase life happens. I can call them back to move up or move back the appointment or cancel if it is necessary.Doesn't happen often, but has happened. I don't call and wait for them to answer incase they are in a situation that could get them in hot water. I call let it ring once they see the # and usually call back within 5 minute's.

I would miss these. Memory; I would hate to lose the the memories of this life, the mostly good as well as the not so mostly good. Peanut Butter and Toast; We bonded early in life and have been almost inseparable. My Left Hand; Because only he knows what my right hand is doing.

Or not, as the case may be? Apologies in advance to all and sundry, but I'm going to indulge myself with a rant on this. We have very clear and well-enforced rules here on CERB about what may be said, and what may not. However, these rules relate very much to *how* discussions are conducted; their aim is to ensure that both ads and recos are genuine (and therefore reliable and useful) and that the general tone of the site remains positive and mutually respectful. What we do *not* have, however, is a whole bunch of rules relating to what topics of conversation may not be had at all. Yes, illegal stuff is out, which seems like a sensible precaution to me, but that's about it. However, we periodically (and again recently) seem to have attempts by individuals, or groups of them, to shut down conversation on subjects which they happen to dislike. It may seem obvious, but it probably bears stating that if someone starts a thread, no matter how obscure or tedious the topic may seem to most, that's a demonstration that at least one person cares enough about it to bother posting. Maybe it'll become the new hot thread of the moment, and maybe it'll fall completely flat - but how will we ever find out if it never gets posted at all? In the meantime, the fact that someone cared enough to post in the first place means that there's likely to be at least a few readers who will be interested enough to read the thread and not consider it a complete waste of their time to have done so, even if they don't feel moved to post themselves. Is it too much to ask that those people who don't wish to discuss a particular subject simply leave it be and move on? I'm not talking about the occasional snarky comment about LOLcats here (I'm well aware that not everyone loves them, and frankly I think the world would be a very dull place if we all had the same tastes); I'm talking about efforts to get particular threads or subjects eliminated entirely. I don't mind the rules that have an obvious benefit for the site as a whole, but I thoroughly resent the existence and interference of self-appointed arbiters of what may or may not be discussed. We have one, and the Mod does a very good job; we don't need any more, thanks. If the Town Council decides to implement new policies then that's fine - but until any such changes are announced to the community at large by the Mod, could everyone else please refrain from attempting to impose their own preferences on everybody else? The general forum does tend to attract all the stuff that doesn't obviously fit in anywhere else. However, the fact that something doesn't have another obvious home is absolutely not a reason for it to be expelled from the general forum too. Maybe that just means we should have more forums so that we can categorize threads more effectively; maybe people should simply be a little more tolerant. A final point: I think we *all* benefit from the existence of a larger and more diverse community, rather than a smaller and narrower one. CERB gets more visitors, and presumably so, then, does EC. The SPs get a larger audience for their ads; those of us who see them get more SPs posting ads. And all of us who contribute get more friends, and potential friends, with whom we can argue, debate, laugh, joke and - on occasion, I daresay - have some good old-fashioned sexcapades. Every time we drive someone off by being exclusive or narrow-minded, or someone simply gets bored and leaves, we're all a little poorer for the loss. Okay, that's it. Thanks for reading, if you got this far.

Bless us, every one.

I recommend divorce as a sex tool. Now she can do what she fucking wants and I can do as I fucking please simultaneously.

Out of curiosity, I would be interested to know which criterias gentlemen use to base their rating for the incall location. Is it based on the how far you have to drive from your house or work place to get there? Perhaps the neighbourhood? Parking on site, close by or maybe free parking? Or just general convenience for you? Is it based on the 'quality' of her accomodations (a studio or a suite versus a room - jacuzzi in the suite, etc.)? Cleanliness and tidiness? I'm assuming it's a combination of both the area and her actual incall but I would still like to hear from you. Thank you in advance for your feedback! :)

I really don't understand the blocked/unblocked number thing in this day and age and there may be a false sense of security about being able to see and identify the phone number with the ease of getting a pay for use phone. I got one, did not use my real name to get it and pay cash to top it up.......completely untraceable and anonymous. I would never use my regular cell phone to contact the ladies, remember what happened to Tiger Woods :)

I would very much like to expand my business so that I deal with primarily persons with disabilities. I just haven't quite figured out how to do that yet. I've had quite a few clients with disabilities over the years, though I think the most notable would be a client I saw recently, who was Deaf-Blind. He came to my incall with his home-care nurse, who had helped him get there. She was pretty great as well. Told me I was wonderful for doing this, etc. She didn't stay, just dropped him off and then came back to get him afterwards. I even learned the Deaf Blind manual alphabet (basically, you spell out words on their hand)--because we would otherwise not be able to communicate. I have to say, it is an entirely different experience communicating entirely through touch. In terms of what I need, I just need to know ahead of time what your specific needs are. With this particular client, I knew I was going to have to book extra time because it would take much longer to talk to each other.

The link here: http://www.tlc-trust.org.uk/index.php deals with the issue. The site is wonderful. It should answer some of your questions. A movie released in Australia and hopefully coming to Canada talks about it too: http://www.scarletroad.com.au/trailer/ I should have searched first, but I started a thread on a similar topic here: http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=298713#post298713 If anything, sex workers need to know that their work is valued.

I think some might not know their number is blocked, so if you are trying to reach a lady and she never answers, check to see if your number comes up blocked. To unblock you press *82 Or, if you NEED to block your number (say for initial inquiry, maybe from work phone) leave a message explaining so and that you will be calling again right away from a blocked number (keeping in mind that at some point, the lady will want you to phone from an unblocked number.)

Sex or puppies...everyone likes puppies..:icon_biggrin:

I think the thread has gone slightly off-track from the OP's observations. It might be helpful if it was restated. Phaedrus, let me know if I've highjacked your intent. 1. Some Cerb individuals/cliques are trying to shut-down or unrighteously influence threads or subjects they don't like. 2. Individuals/cliques who try to shut-down a thread stunts the growth of the forum & nullifies the value of original posts. These types of characters give the site a nasty flavour. 3. Individuals/cliques who try to shut-down a thread use nasty comments as a form of intimidation or to get the thread discredited. 4. Threads that don't fit exactly into a category are getting trashed. 5. Openness to different opinions begets good business for Cerb & it's affiliates. Plain enough?

I believe that a select few gentlemen fail to take into account the VAST majority of the traffic/membership of this board is garnered by the LADIES active participation, visibility and advertising content - ie: Pictures/Ads ect. There are MANY, MANY websites dedicated solely to the hobbyists' reviews/opinions and those sites (in Ottawa at least) are ghost towns..and are no where near as active as cerb. I know there are a few personalities who truly believe there voices are more important to the success of cerb than female participation, which is a totally false assumption. Of the THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of members there are only a very small few who choose to be negative, bossy & controlling. And 99.999% of the traffic to cerb and business to the advertisers is from the "Thousands of others".. Kim

I'm so sorry this happened to you Isabella...although we've never met I can tell from the few PM's we've shared that you have one of the biggest hearts and are just an absolute sweetheart. I guess all I can do is just repeat what others have said...No, I don't believe you were in the wrong in any way...and asking for some kind of donation is fair. I wasn't there, for another I can't even pretend to put myself in your shoes. But even if you were standing by the door.....or even blocking it...there are other ways he could have handled the situation without laying a single finger on you...he could have threatened to call hotel management and report that someone was refusing to let him leave the room. Or if you work from a residence he could have threatened to call LE and report the same thing.........short of in self defense, laying his hands on you was completely unacceptable and absolutely no part of this is your fault. I think you did the right thing by warning the other SP's....., and Erin's right. It was a brave thing. Someone this nervous and this prone to act rashly without thinking of the consequences really shouldn't be hobbying. I thank whatever gods might be out there that this didn't end a lot worse than it did. Take care of yourself, sweetie <3 xoxoxo

Personally, its much more about the journey than the destination with my encounters. I haven't been hobbying for long but I can tell you that the 1hrs I have been booking are already starting to feel too short for a good 'build-up' so I will be looking towards longer sessions as $$ can accomidate. I can't even phathom trying to cram msog in 30 mins - not much fun in that.

Hi Sam, I too have a para. client who is also deaf. He's awesome! :) I love making people happy and sometimes people with physical disabilities need extra love and care and I am only too happy to please! I also have a client who is a 'little person' and I am 5foot7. :) We should not discriminate in this business or any other for that matter. It doesn't matter if people are a little different to me and I hope all girls would be compassionate as well. What if it was you? What if you woke up and were in a wheel chair for the rest of your life? You would want love and attention just like everyone else. Anyways I do have wheelchair access in my building so I am able to see just about anyone. And yes I would want to know before hand so I could be as accomidating as possible or be made aware of anything I need to be. (like medication ect) I do not discriminate against ANY: Religion, Race, Age, Ability, Size, Class. I do discriminate against assholes!
