fortunateone, I can't give you any more rep points until I've spread the love more widely, but I agree with everything you've said. While I'm sure there may be ladies who would be willing to work through an online booking site, I'm not one of them. I don't care how much verification such a place may get from a prospective client. I only see the gentlemen I elect to see because I want to see them. References can be helpful. I have accepted verification from some US sites, too. These things have never been the deciding factor for me when I'm considering engaging a new client. I have my own reasons for choosing to meet, or not to meet, someone. In the end, the only person I trust to make decisions about who is or is not appropriate for me to see is... me. The only one to whom I will be accountable about the time I spend with a client is the client himself. The only one who should ever know who that client is also happens to be me. Lots of people want to find ways to make some money from some aspect of the sex industry. I'm sure that future changes in the law will encourage some folks to try things that they haven't tried yet. That's how markets work, all the time. But the old-fashioned way still works beautifully for me.

LOL. But seriously, before my wife became disabled (and unable), she suggested (her idea) we might like to someday soon have a professional lady join us; wasn't for educational purposes at all. We even openly discussed all the possible hazards and researched how this kind of encounter can go astray. Guess it's a shame (or a blessing) we never did get around to it before it was to late. Now I'll never know :) I proudly wear my wedding band in honour of my dear wife I shall forever love. I do hope the SPs realize that they are a tremendous help and comfort to us married clients and have probably saved many marriages. Thank you ladies for everything you do and doing what you do. I am so glad you ladies are around.

I read a comment left on an entry that I made earlier today in the Highlights of the Day thread that caused me to think a bit more about our CERB family. CERB - the more that I get involved with it and the more that I read contributions that are made in its forums has many of the characteristics of a family. This does not refer to a 'traditional' family, but also to the dysfunctional family, the family divided, the extended family and probably any other sort of family that one could devise as well. There is certainly a common denominator for all of us that explains our initial presence as a part of this family, but once involved, I see so often how people begin to interact with each other in ways totally apart from that commonality that we all have. These differences are many but I am thinking today of the ability of CERB members to support each other in the same way as families members might do. I have seen so many examples of this in the past year where people who have never met each other, and in all likelihood never will meet each other have gone out of their ways to help another member. I have seen the genuine welcomes made to new members. I have seen the assistance provided to those who are finding their way through this maze called CERB. I have seen the authentic best wishes sent for birthdays and milestones. I have seen people reach out to those who are in trouble, be it those who are fighting an addiction or those who are trying to cope with a death in their circle of friends or family or those who are fighting an illness or other personal trauma. Something as simple as sending a hug when it is deemed necessary, or sending a personal PM or email at just that "right" time can make a difference to someone else. I can see or sense how the determination and ability of individuals members to cope in certain situations can and has inspired others. For myself, CERB has become a family in its own right. There are only a few here who truly know how much they have helped me. In many cases members probably cannot even think that I might be referring to them when I say that or be able to think of what they said or did that impacted me in such a profound way. Sometimes we as individuals do not realize or are never made aware of just how important a little personal gesture can be in making someone feel better or even how that simple gesture might turn a persons life around for the better. Do you recall the young fellow who got that hot air balloon ride, largely due to the CERB members and the initiative of Chanel Reign with her Random Act of Kindness thread. That is something that he shall always remember. The CERB family makes a difference in so many ways. Good on the CERB family.

Purdy's Sweet Georgia Browns have been my Achilles heel for some time. Too bad there aren't too many Purdy's stores in this part of the country! Here in Ottawa I only eat Stubbes chocolates. They make an apricot truffle thing that is truly to die for! Though I have found a way to get chocolate and sex: I keep a bottle of chocolate body topping on hand in case the mood strikes. If the chemistry is right between me and a client, it can make for fun foreplay! Posted via Mobile Device

I was once the recipient of cheers and applause when I was caught skipping down the street. (Skipping is a very fun and efficient mode of transport!) The way we move betrays our inner experience. Do we move with wild abandon or careful purpose? Do we step lightly and with ease, or is there something dragging us down? Conversely, here's a fun experiment to try: walk as if everything is going your way. Hold your head high and pretend that today is the best day ever. What does that feel like? There is so much power in taking ownership of the way you move in your environment. Our perspective of the world comes not just from our minds, but our bodies, too. Have you ever tried on someone else's walk? Instant perspective change. It's really very cool.

This has been an interesting read...but at the end of the day, for me, I'm not worrying about falling into a lady's ideal profile for a good client. But I will always try to be the best client I can be, respectful, clean, and most of all, a gentleman. Fortunately for me, no play acting is needed, when I have an encounter, all I have to be is myself. A morning rambling RG

I agree, if there is a situation that warrants being warned then yes we all need to be made aware. However, before we create threads in which we more or less condemn a person (male or female) without trial there must be proof! It is one thing to have an open, even handed discussion it is something entirely different to conduct a witch hunt circa Salem 1692. We must be careful of these topics as travelling ladies may bypass our neck of the country all together which would result in the ever popular, and relevant in this case, "Where are all the Asian SP's in Halifax?" threads.

Dear backrubman, There are already a number of sites that do this already. Including, to a certain extent, this one. preferred411, date-check, verifyhim, etc etc charge fees, clients can register with their private details thru the site, get verified, and book with ease using only a reference name or number. The sps on the site have access to prescreened clientele. However, that, like any clients who know about review sites or escort forums, is such a teeny tiny fraction of the entire client pool out there, it is one of those things nice in theory, and not viable in reality. The reality is that many guys refuse to divulge personal details to a 3rd party. Another is they will choose to see street workers or walk into massage parlours rather than even divulge their phone #, let alone anything else. Sps who want someone else to handle every aspect of their marketing and booking, and there are oodles of them, will always work with agencies or at massage parlours. Sps who grow tired of being sent to anyone with a wallet, go independent and decide for themselves who to see. And also, if they start to dislike the cut the agency takes. Nothing in the decriminalization will change any of this, imo. It is unlikely that anything other than the majority of sps who work from home will now no longer fear the next knock on the door is LE shutting down their illegal incall. I definitely don't see any link between decrim and rates. I also am fairly convinced there is no link between decrim and any increase in new sps. And going into the priceline, pay by CC, etc etc, well just go back to my comments about how much detail most clients are willing to provide. They are not willing to provide to the sp or a 3rd party, in the majority, full name, address, CC info, expiry date and 3 digit pin, just to secure an appt with most sps. And even if there was an enterprising person out there to come up with that idea, do you have any idea at how few sps would have anything to do with it? If an sp is indy, she is indy all the way. NO one is going to get between her and her level of what is considered enough or reasonable screening. NO one is going to take an additional fee to process CCs, or any other consideration. I am at a loss in general as to why or how so many people come up with so many elaborate ideas about the results of decriminalizing the bawdy house law, and the living off the avails. I think there is this assumption about thousands of people sitting around waiting for the opportunity to become sex workers, or work for one, or build and open brothels, and oh but for the sake of those two little laws, they would have done it 25 years ago. There weren't any brothels built 25 years ago before these laws were created. There were no bawdy house laws, no living off the avails, no laws against public solicitation. So why weren't there any brothels? Why no priceline set up for prostitutues? Why did sps work for agencies, and mpas go to work at massage parlours. Why did sps rent hotel rooms instead of setting up their own incall in the privacy of their own home? Lots of things to consider, but also to get a bit of perspective as well.

Kind of cool idea for a thread, Cristy. I am a completely logical, scientific, analyzing type of being of the sort that one might think would be the very last to accept Karma, yet I oddly base my entire life on perhaps not precisely Karma but something very similar. Whatever you give, God pays you back with interest (or somebody other than God if you are an atheist). Ok, so we've all had that stray rock strike our windshield on the highway and whap! and then it cracks and spreads and we get a new windshield and as it's like $400 we just pay by credit card. The glass shop is great, highly skilled, but technologically primitive and has a credit card impression machine with the little carbon copy slips. Months go by, more months go by, but oddly we haven't seen the charge on the credit card statement. Hmmm (guess this should be in the thread of things that make you go Hmmm), I wonder if that $400 charge for the new windshield will ever show up? It's been like 6 months. So passing by the auto glass store on my way to the office one morning I stop in and explain the situation, that I had my windshield replaced, paid by credit card and it has never shown up on the credit card statement, did the charge not go through? Was the impression of my credit card not clear enough? What is the problem? The owner is in "shock"! Like why are you here man? What in the world do you want from me? So I explain, I want only to make sure you get your money. I can't in good conscience drive around with a new windshield I haven't paid for. As it turns out the credit card impression wasn't good enough, the bank rejected it, they hadn't recorded my address or license number and had no way of contacting me, so of course I paid for the windshield, the owner then had to shake my hand and congratulate me for being the last honest person left in the world and I was on my way to the office again. $400 is a lot of money for a small business like this to have to absorb as a loss. As I travel along the highway I come upon a horrible "black ice" style of accident that had happened about 20 minutes before with lots of cars and carnage involved. Of course I see the flashing lights of the emergency vehicles and slow right down and pass by with that icky feeling we always get but then I realize that it all happened 20 minutes ago and that's just about exactly how long I spent at the auto glass shop. Hmmm This is but one example of many similar experiences I have had over all the years and all my life of practicing my own particular brand of Karma.

I was raised to treat others with kindness and respect. Now I'll admit that I am nowhere near perfect and in the past have treated some people less kindly than I should have. But I always try my best to treat others the way I would want to be treated. And I've generally found that what you do unto others gets reflected back to you, good or bad. So in a sense you could say that I believe in karma, or at least positive/negative waves.

I am Wiccan and believe in the 3 fold rule. Whatever you put out there will come back 3 times as strong be that good or bad. I try and live my life as positive as possible and do the best I can. Posted via Mobile Device

In the last couple of years (since my SP debut) I have come to realize that age is just a number. Jerks can be 19 or 70 as can gentlemen. I have met some 20yr olds that are far more mature than some 50yr olds I've met :)

I am not sure about the dictionary meanings behind Karma.. However my beliefs regarding Karma( we all have our own) are I do believe if you treat someone without dignity and respect then it may come back at you in your life time negatively wether it be emotionally or physically.. And sometimes is deserved.... So as a society if we all did good to one another then we should have happy lives.. Oh if life could/was that easy lol...

I fully agree here! A gentleman, good hygiene and pays (without having to be asked) is definitely my preferred client. Age, weight, marital status,height, hair.... irrelevant, it's how they conduct themselves while they are with me that's more important.

Hey, Its Cami here, Yes I have relocated to Calgary and no it was not for the purpose of the new girls in town. Can't a girl relocate for a bit and test out the other side of the river? Lol! Its absolutely gorgeous here and I believe it is going to become my new home within a month or two. The new ladies are definately hot and some of the french girls are total spinners, i've met a few myself! I will return in time and will be doing bookings upon arrival and will be in town for a few weeks. Miss y'all!!! Stay safe Xo

Good thread! And a very subjective one. Gentlemen, if I may make a suggestion; take note here what the Ladies say. This is what is important for us, so we know whats important to you. :) This is my perspective: Seeing naked bodies in an intimate environment is different that just being around naked people at camps and events or photoshoots. One is sexual and one is not. Somewhere along the way I think my lines got blurred (in a good way), and so I do not see parts but the whole. An example: David Lee Roth. OMG sexy in the day and I bought into it. Until he opened his mouth. Crass, no class, and in my opinion, stupid as a bag of nails. Completely lost it for him right there and still find him revolting. So since 99.9% of us are "normal" by our own cultural dictates; I have to look further than a body to prefer a Client. Lady or Gent, you must be squeaky clean. Respectful, but also understand that I am also part of the 99.9 that you walk beside everyday. I am much more than you see, and live on the same planet you do. Therefore, friendly; and it will be reciprocated. In other words some should lose the "whore and slut" attitude, because what does that make you? With women I am totally enamoured of boobies!!!! And nipples!!! Oh my! I do admit to loving mens butts however. And believe me, cute bottoms come in all shapes and sizes! Age again is a no go with me. I know too many people that defy their chronological age....unfortunately both ways! lol But in this biz, I draw the line at around 25 or so. I have a Gent who is 81 and a snowbird. He WALKS to my location for our playdate. There is nothing gross or disgusting about this man. He is eloquent and open, and I look forward to our summer sessions together. There are so many versions of "married" out there these days, I rarely ask or look. Sometimes it is shared, and if I see the Gent regularly and we have such a rapport; I will sometimes quietly ask why they see me. The answers are usually the same variation. For the younger men, I tend to mostly get single ones.

I don't have an issue with someone using the words classy, elite or upscale... but I sure roll my eyes when someone claims to be 'the best'. Look at the uproar recenty over who was the hottest man Ryan Gosling vs Bradley Cooper. It was ridiculous how many people got involved in the debate.. which is all to say that 'the best' is completely relative. No one in their right mind claims it. I always keep it simple.. I leave the adjectives to others.. because after all.. they are all relative to the beholder.

Hmmmm, makes me think of the time that my wife came home and told me she was stopped by the Mounties. They had her for speeding, passing on a double line and a brake light was out. He gave her a warning! My God, if that was me I'd have been in jail. All I could say to her was, " So, just how short WAS your skirt? " So Lee, just how short was your skirt?!

A womans walk is an incredible turn on. The way a woman caries herself shows a lot of her personality. I find a walk with a slight kick of the leg to straighten it when stepping forward......love it. When you see a woman walking with bent knees it looks as if she is sulking or creeping around. Posted via Mobile Device

Good for you Zoe. :) Personally, I would never consider offering a 15 minute appointment. I don't even really like 30 minute appointments, and have considered only offering 1 hour and more. I do occasionally get a request for a half hour session, but thankfully it's rare. For the intimate and incredible experience I offer, 30 minutes is hardly enough time. Fifteen minutes would definitely make me feel cheap. But then I like to be consistent in what I offer and the kind of SP I strive to be. I take so much time to prepare for each encounter, a 15 minute session would be an insult to my time. Besides that, without time to properly enjoy one another's company by taking our time to get to know one another a little, I don't think I would like how I would feel after a quarter of an hour. I like to try an offer an unforgettable experience, and I know I'm not able to deliver that in a mere 15 minutes. I'm sure there's a market for it, and I don't judge anyone who does offer it. I just know I wouldn't feel good offering a 15 minute 'quicky', so I never will. :)
