In an effort to inject a bit of much needed levity, I am putting the question out there. What makes you happy while surfing Cerb? I, for one, enjoy the comraderie, the silly threads as well as the serious thought provoking information found here. Please share your fondest Cerb memories!!!

It's a sense of community. Belonging. I am fortunate to have so many wonderful friends (including the OP, whom I adore).... and the lighthearted nature of so many of our members makes it a pleasure to make your acquaintance. CERB has become part of my family. Some of you have shared time with me on a number of levels. I have opened my home to some. I have a deep fondness for the wide array of women and men that make this community "accepting." Despite our varying beliefs, backgrounds, professions and opinions, we find a way to make it work and will try to make it work even better if given the opportunity. That's my CERB.

What keeps me here and what I love about CERB? The way in which CERB provides us all with a place to co-exist in a way that other social settings don't. What I mean by this is that, because of the way that some of us are forced to keep our hobbying or our work secret from those with whom we have personal relationships, CERB is essentially providing us all with an opportunity to relieve some of the burdens that come with keeping secrets. Doing this in a place where so many others have similar experiences, fosters an environment where community and friendships are inevitable results of a space that encourages respect from the hobbyists for the SPs and vice versa

Inspiring conversations, mostly about sexuality, with real, thoughtful, experienced, and considerate people. Some of whom I actually get to meet! This isn't the only board on this subject I visit, but it's the only one I post on. What sets CERB apart is its lack of silly posturing, indignant chest-beating, snide backhands, and fits of rage either slow-cooked or flame-roasted. (And I've got to add: the stupid, arrogant, shameful misogyny that this industry seems to bring out in some men who post elsewhere.) CERB sets a considerate rather than confrontational tone, but that doesn't mean we're all timid little mice; just that we can talk about sensitive and complex issues like adults. People can share ideas openly and we can differ respectfully and without feeling threatened. I suppose I should put "mostly" in front of a lot of those. Nothing's perfect. I've only been here intermittently for the last while and I missed some of the recent bumps into the road. When I started to read threads about them I had to go hunting 'til I could finally go "ah, I see." But there are lots of good folks still manning the walls, shouldering tools and working to repair the place (witness this thread!), and I'm thoroughly optimistic, and still completely enjoying my time here. I really value CERB as a place to join in quality conversations about grown-up stuff, especially sexuality. I value that there are men here with all kinds of different experiences and approaches to this industry and their lives. I value even more that there are women here who share things helpfully, frankly, and thoughtfully, with input that's informed by experience, and in a voice that's not solely concerned with constructing the most effective business persona. Within certain practical bounds, I think the women here contribute truthfully, and don't just tell the men (who might be prospective clients) what they want to hear. At least, it seems that way to me. It's because I think my fellow members are being reasonably honest, and thinking before they post, that I find many threads here valuable and meaningful. And that's what keeps me coming back.

I wish to extend best wishes to Eric on a speedy recovery from injuries sustained when his vehicle was struck by a drunk driver last night. The vehicle didn't make it (written off), but seems like Eric will be okay even though he spent over 12 hours at the hospital being stitched and bandaged up before they released him. This tragedy hits very close to home. Let me take a moment to urge each and every one of you to leave the car parked at home if you plan on drinking and don't hesitate to take the keys from someone you believe to be impaired so they don't harm themselves or others.

This website really makes this hobby comfortable for me. I'm a shy and cautious person, so this website makes me feel much more at ease in connecting with SPs. And they've all been great. The women I have met through CERB have all been lovely professional ladies. The communication this website encourages really helps me connect with SPs who are right for me. The communication is also much more humanizing, which is what I prefer. I like the feeling of connecting with a great woman and not just "renting a body". So CERB promotes intimacy in more than just a physical sense of the word. The selection of SPs is also great. I see more great women than I have time, money, and energy to meet. And I'll also say that just knowing all these great women are available to me is really nice. I come on here and read the ads even when I am not looking for an SP in the near future. It's also nice to come in the message boards and talk with you guys either about issues directly related to the hobby or about other subjects. So yeah, I started this hobby back in the summer (2011) and it's been great thanks to CERB and all the great people who make it what it is.

The boobies. eh. I get to see pics, sometime see them in real life, and sometime even touch them.

Reaching this milestone, and have thought it through and through for quite sometime now, this post will be my last in the general discussion area,recommendation area and other areas as well. I will keep my profile active, and continue to chat through pm's or profile pages, by saying hello to those good friends, and of course checking out the ladies schedules and announcements and social groups. ;) I'm sorry but I just don't have anything more to say or add into the those sections of the board. My reasoning for staying out of posting here,is that the content on the board has lost some of it's "reality" in why we we all chose to become a member here on CERB. That being a community of people striving to have the same result, good fun,sex of course,how to stay and play safe and play along nicely with each other. The latter certainly has not been happened enough lately in my view, I had read MOD's note to those Elite Members and Sp members in that section.I hope that it is okay to quote MOD here in the general area where some other members can see what was said...I think it is important to all general members as well. The site is suppose to be... 1) a positive side of the industry 2) A fun place 3) A community 4) A place to get friendly advise 5) A place where the ladies can come and not worry about being slandered 6) A place for the "Good clients" to feel at home When I first started here, the wealth of information provided by members was such a huge importance for men and ladies to ensure quality time together and it was always very positive back then and great fun... but not so much lately. Those members that have provided that information of safety/quality time/advise/ health issues etc etc are and can be the key to continued success of this board. So stay positive folks. It has been a fun place, until recent past months,that is my own personal view on the matter Just far too much hostility lately, and I rather not participate in those discussions, and yes I have been guilty myself of doing so, but realizing it is only counterproductive. However I would like to say, I really have not found it lately a place for "good clients" to feel at home at least that is my feeling. I always consider myself a good client with ladies I have met and I of course look forward in meeting new ladies as well in the future. We all see the hostile quotes left in the rep points handed out, we all see the hostile thread comments and even lately comments left on other profile pages. We all have our own interpretation, but that is what happens when you have a diverse community, I guess. I'm sure some will be happy that I will be staying away from posting, and I think some others may not (48 threads started of rec's...lol.. I did give back to community in a way :) ). So thank-you all, it is not good bye, just tuning out, may you all enjoy the Holiday Season, and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

For me, it's about knowing that I am not alone out there. I am not some sort of sexual deviant for having normal human desires for companionship and well....sex. There are thousands of "normal" like minded people out there with similar interests who aren't afraid to talk about it, even if it is in this somewhat anonymous setting. I also like staying informed about all of the current issues that pertain to this hobby. Cerb has also helped me to see the sp's as "real" people with the same wants, needs, likes, dislikes, desires, etc as everyone else. Thanks to everyone for making CERB such a great place.

What I like about Cerb? The social gathering of like minded people, sharing the stories, thoughts, concerns and interests. The women, ah can't forget all them and the way they creative the great ads they make to get your attention. They are a joy to read! I can't forget to mention the beautiful and sexy photo's that are posted by the ladies, I enjoy all the imagination that is done with them. The topics in the threads are fun and educational to read, as are the comments that are posted on profiles. As a shy person by nature I know this site has been wonderful and very helpful. I tend to ignore the negitive stuff, and try to remember all the positive people in the cerb family. Great idea for a post Megforfun, especially this time of year. Cheers

Cerb is indeed a place that in some yet unfathomable manner indeed keeps me coming back. For me it has become a community of friends. I do very much recognize its role as a means for clients and SP's to meet and communicate in a business sense, but as much as some do not wish to speak about it, Cerb is also a place where friendships are forged. The atmosphere of the board is generally positive and uplifting. The conversation and discussion goes ever so much further than sex. I think to the role of Cerb members in helping that young man get his lifetime dream of a hot air balloon ride. What about the toys collected for children at the Christmas social. The Cerb community educates about legal issues, and helps to break the stereotypes about sex workers in our society. It is a place where a hug or kind word can be given or asked for unconditionally when needed. It has supported people who are going through difficult times, whether it be illness, personal issues, or addictions. I throughly enjoy logging on each morning with a hello in the shout box, and seeing the same from others. The little PM's and guest book entries that arrive unexpectedly are always things that brighten my day. The humour provided by people such as Old Dog, Roaming Guy, Lee Richards and others makes me smile. The educators, and I think of Wrinkled in Time, Samantha Evans, Gabriella Laurence, Nathalie LeFebvre and Elizabeth Saunders and others who challenge me to think and learn have helped me to become a better person. When so many people play so many roles I can only appreciate and be thankful for their contributions to me and to the community at large. In person I have met some amazing people, men and women alike. In every circumstance these people have had an impact on me, and the impact has invariably been for the good. Oh yes, and there is intimacy. Cerb has been a means of exploring and realizing previously unexplored experiences and fantasy. It has been incredible. I have had a very difficult past twelve months and I do attribute much of my healing to Cerb members who have been supportive to me through it all. As I have been helped along the way, so too I hope that I can help others as well with whatever contributions I can make. So Cerb, I shall keep coming back and I dearly wish that the spirit of comradarie and tolerance and patience continue and even improve for the benefit of all of us in this remarkable community. We are unique.

Yep, what others have already said. What's great for me is having a community where I can find out the answers to questions that you just can't ask anywhere else - and also, sometimes, when you don't even know what questions you should be asking the answers will arrive anyway.

The fact that even with the knowledge we have gained and the technology we possess, that there is still so much fighting, corruption, poverty and intolerance in the world. I so amazingly lucky to be born in this country and to be able to do the activities I like doing, like sitting here at my computer right now talking to so many sexually free people without fear of being punished or being judged. Or little things, like getting a drink of clean water or not having to worry about a bomb going off while driving to work. It is unreal how some people have to live day to day.

1. Reading about and reporting on amazing sexual adventures. 2. The friends, and the possibility of making new ones. Greeting newbies. 3. The social groups, for fun interactions and pictures 4. Exchanging pm's and guestbook messages. I like the feeling of connectedness.

I would like to take this oppertunity to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas with a healthy and happy new year. Especially all the special ladies that I have had the privilidge of spending time with and also all my friends here on cerb. I have been absent a lot lately from cerb and will be for the forseeable future due to a devastating fire that destroyed our home and business. Thankfully no one was hurt but the anguish and turmoil of losing everything has taken it's toll. With so many things to do I find I have very little time to interact with this wonderful community. In time I hope to be back on a regular basis but untill then take care of you and yours.

First thanks Meg, a much needed thread and reminder why we are here I share Old Dog's sentiment...it's the sense of community, no I'll go further, we are a community, not just another board. And we are a community, where else do members wish one another happy birthday, congrats on post counts etc. When one of us has a certain challenge to overcome, or has overcome and tells us, we are supportive. And socials, which not bring one another together, but also contribute in the case of the Christmas social, to the kids Christmas toy drive I first came here when I was thinking about venturing into this lifestyle. I learned a lot, and in pay it forward philosophy, when I feel I have something to offer someone else who is learning, I offer my opinion I also enjoy the lighthearted aspects of this community, such as the music threads and jokes, and threads like the I Like/Positivity thread We should focus on the positives of CERB. When posting, be respectful of opinions different than yours, and by the same token, don't post opinions which are in tone and or word disrespectful. But aside from some hiccups lately, I like this community, and I'm here to stay A long winded rambling RG

That is a good question Meg, I love coming here and read what ever any Cerbies has to say and look at the pics of all the sp's, ma's famous or new on the board. I love exchanging pm's with my friends and all the ladies here. Reply to general discussions and post jokes sent to me by friends and also to look and post on the fripple thread.

anyone tried this place ? good ? no good ? i heard you need an appointment to get in, is it true ? all info is appreciated.

READ!!!! Don't book an appt and THEN ask for donation requirements, restrictions etc... I would say that most ladies either post their info in their ads and if not they include links to their websites. Some of us utilize the "about me" tab to explain as much as we can. Don't be lazy...get your ducks in a row and everyone will have a much more satisfying time!

Could someone give me a little advise please. I have been a member for 8 month's or so but I am still listed as Moderated Account. I have visited a few ladys that I met through this site and would like to add recommendations for the truely special ones. The rules state I have to make at least 5 post's. I know I have posted more than 5 times on various ladys "guestbook post" but maybe that does not count. Could someone tell me exactly where I should be making these 5 post's at?

Stuffing. Period.

Perfect first dates... 1. All day long patio or pub crawl ending with a great dinner and evening entertainment. 2. Photo treasure hunt with a random list of weirdly random items. 3. 4 wheeling or snowmobiling with a warm fire and toddys to finish. 4. Fishing - any season with fish, creamy slaw and hush puppies for dinner. 5. Auctions - any kind. Antique, estate, auto, surplus etc. 6. Car detailing - we'll do mine first...then do yours! 7. Outdoor gardening starting with breakfast on the patio and finishing in the hot tub! 8. Kijiji day - going to look at weird and wonderful items that you really don't need or necessarily want because you've never laid eyes on it in real life. examples - polar bear rug, antique dental equipment or antique circus rides. 9. A day on a hobby farm - doing whatever the farmer thinks is fun. 10. A tequilla afternoon sorting my lingerie drawers. I have soooo many more but time is short... cat

Hi, Just a quick correction that I noticed. Chus, in the context described was indeed "Je ne suis pas", but only because it was followed by the "pas". Alone Chus just means "Je suis" aka "I am". And yes, crisse can be interpreted as fuck. It's one of those words that can be used in many different ways, all you need to know is that it's a swear word (unless you're talking to a priest about religious things, then he may actually be using it in it's original context ;)). So there, hardly worth mentioning, but I figured it was important to point out that Chus doesn't automatically include a negation!

To everyone here I give a big big hug! I hope you all have loved ones to spend your Christmas with. Christmas can feel lonely for some, so if you are, I hope this thread helps you feel wanted and loved too! You all mean so much to me, please have a safe and lovely Holiday:) xoxoxox

The ads. Great place to see who's working on a particular day! That's what makes me come back :)

The memorable cam show by a certain member *cough*antlerman*cough* and what keeps me back is the promise made for a repeat performance.....

I come here for answers to my dumb questions, a feeling of comradarie, acceptance and of course to advertise. That's pretty much the least important though. Even when there are blips on the radar this place is still a very warm, loving community. *big hugs* I love cerb!!! Posted via Mobile Device

Although not a specific "menu" item, my memorable encounters include this K C C kissing , cuddling, conversation RG :-)

Great post! I have another one: NRKB - Negotiating Rates gets you Kicked in the Balls Maybe a bit too aggressive to put on the menu but maybe some more people might get the hint!

But if you're going to do that, get on with it. It's scheduled for next week. Remember, you heard it here first :)

The excitement of seeing new pictures, reading opinions and views on various subjects; sexual and non-sexual and the whole community feel to it. I'd like to participate more in replying and posting to threads but my general nature of being an observer with little posts here and there gets the best of me.

No worries. I can't stand scotch, and it aggravates some of my friends who go on at length on the subject. I accept from their reports that I must be missing something full of subtleties and joy, but I just can't drink the stuff -- it makes me gag every time. Kinda the same thing I guess. ;)

Heartfelt BDSM activities that come from within the participants themselves -- as opposed to uncomprehending mimicry of strutting poses and cheap costumes -- is absolutely awesome, and one of the most interesting places to visit in the whole sexual landscape. As long as you're in tune with what you're doing, it's great. And like any other part of sex, it's just one of many places to visit. You don't need to be stuck in BDSM mode 100% of the time, and define your whole sex life by it; you can still get *enormous* value from the experience now and then. BDSM is an amazing way to delve deep into your psyche and trace the threads of your sexual impulses down to their roots. It's the sexual id and ego directly at play. You have to *really* trust someone to do this right, and you need to be in tune with your own feelings and willing to respond to the stirrings of your subconscious, without filtering those feelings to conform to external social convention. I always rejoice a little when I get to share the company of others who are in tune with this side of sexuality, and these encounters (when they've worked well) have been high on the list of my most intense and memorable sexual experiences. I've also had the most amazing conversations with BDSM partners about sex, psychology, and the many different parts of us that makes us who we are. It's not the only place on my sexual map, nor even where I spend most of my time. I like all the other stuff too. But BDSM remains a special out-of-the-way mansion I return to periodically, just to remind myself it's there. And there are *so many rooms* in there... whole wings really... that I haven't explored yet! :) I'm sorry you got a bad reaction when you shared your interests, Malika. Don't worry, your client was probably projecting onto you all kinds of tired clichés about BDSM. His bad reaction wasn't about you, it was about him. Same sympathies to you, Soleil. We all have many "selves" inside us, and who we are at any given instant is a lot about context. The idea that anyone is too THIS to ever be THAT, or that once's you're THAT you can never again be THIS, makes me giggle. People should love you for all your complexity and depth. Best wishes to all.

Realizing that it's never too late to apologize and re-connect with an old friend over something trivial...

My 15 year old cat is not doing well...:(

Ten Pin Bowling!! The Dude Abides....:) Peace MG

Cindy you have inspired me.... I was actually singing this to the tune of "My Favourite Things" by Julie Andrews in "the Sound of Music".... Drinks at a lounge and a ride in a Lancer Walks in the park with a special nude dancer Meeting at airports to go travelling... These are a few of my favorite things A big cup of joe and some crisp apple streudel Live action porn that can straighten my noodle Watching a dancer who wears only rings These are a few of my favorite things Girls that will touch me in places so naughty Getting rubbed down by a quite naked hotty Much better than reading the Lord of the Rings These are a few of my favorite things When the dog bites When the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things And then I don't feel so bad....

Having an available box ticket to tonight's Sens game because someone else is a no show, and not having anyone else to take. >:( Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515a using Tapatalk

Would luv to jump in a regular cab truck, the seat on the passenger side isn't comfortable so snuggle up and and go for a cruise in the country :) Then to a drive in movie !

I must ad that it's not solely the ladies creating this atmosphere. Just for the record.

This is exactly why I posted this in the ELITE/SP ONLY area. A small handful of people are creating a hostile environment for some. Pushing good members like Pete to do things like this! It's bad for the board, bad for the ladies as it makes potential and really good long term clients not feel welcome. I think jealousy is playing a role in this with some and maybe even boredom for some? Not sure but what we need to do is suggest to the council that anyone causing a hostile environment here gets ONE warning then the BOOT! I know myself and the other mod have talked about this for a while now and we both agree... it's a handful of people killing the vibe for many and it has to stop. Those people responsible need to find a new thing to focus on! Pete, I hope you come back and post. Your a valued member here and one many of the guys look up to. I know I appreciate all your contributions to cerb and this post hopefully opens up some peoples eyes. The ladies who are doing this are just making themselves and other ladies loose business. You kill the friendly vibe of the site and kill off the top members and the quality posters you kill the traffic to the site and hurt business for yourself and the others. It's just dumb!

Omg! Thanks for the good laugh!

Content is king! As the owner and operator of my own website that sees moderately high volume, not nearly as much as CERB but 5-7000 visits a week I have a responsibility to my advertisers and that responsibility is to ensure that their is exposure to their advertising. I do so by making sure the content is fresh and by marketing and promoting the site on other relevant sites where the content would appeal to those site visitors. Cerb has the same responsibility to it's advertisers and is in the unique position to have the membership contribute for free, the content that draws the traffic to this site, in the internet world traffic equals $$$. The thread in question in this case has had over 1,000 views and I'm guessing no complaints till now so 1000 impressions that the advertisers who pay for the sideboard and banner ads received, penny for penny it seems they got their money's worth. If a pooner in europe is searching for reviews on a european provider and comes across a review posted here, who's to say that when or if that pooner comes to Canada that they don't look up one of the ladies who happens to advertise here on CERB. Yes the primary audience is canadian hobbyists and the Canadian providers, however there is no harm in bringing foreign interest to the board.

to get bigger jugs and stick them in everybodys face,lol, oh and have more sex and eat more junk food ,live is to be lived ,so I will live it well ,I hope everyones new year is happy and prosperous
