Another spoiler alert. Ian has nominated Shane and Jenn. I don't care who goes as long as Ian makes it to the final three (I know I'm biased but I have a sweet spot for him). Part of me thinks Ian is playing Dan. I really don't think Dan has a shot at winning the grand prize (no matter who he's up against).

Hmmm does this mean Ur not coming to see me now? :( Hope you clarify soon.

Thanks babe, I guess I don't make the cut here as I am not eye candy or young enough!!! :icon_smile::icon_smile::icon_smile:

I think of it as a good way to get busted by one's SO if she does not approve of the visits. But it sure does smell purdy :icon_smile:

Hey kiddo, I am not a service provider and am a virgin only in i have not seen a service provider yet, hopefully this year. So that said I can provide you with this advice: 1. This would be a wonderful way to lose your virginity, at least better than ten minutes of pumping and rolling off and leaving which was my first experience. 2. Understand if you go through with it though these wonderful women will likely be more tender, giving and in tune with your needs than a woman say you later fall in love with and date. I say this so you don't set this as the bar that you expect all women to follow, these women get paid for their companionship because they are the best at what they do, trust me, not all women have the guts they do. I would advise if you go to an SP for your first time, that you take time to learn how to be generous with a woman while you are there. This is a tool that will get you far in life! 3. You are like me in that we have not taken the plunge into meeting with an SP. Be careful when you are talking to them that you are upfront about your ability to meet. I have contacted a few to get rates while doing my research, but I am stuck right now that husband has said no, at least no for now. so i stick around because it will happen one day,and because i admire the women and their empowerment, but they know the score with me. Advice: find the one you want and go for it, if you have nothing holding you back except for nervousness....okay short story: i was a virgin at aged 19 and wanted to get laid. i called those phone lines to meet other people in your area. (party lines, before internet). I made a few appointments with men to break my virginity (not service providers, just horny men). I got so nervous i didn't show for a few....whatever that's okay i was young and while disrespectful meh, but the ladies here are different, this is their livelihood so if you say you are going to be there, then be there. end of that rant is the dude I did meet on the phone chat line who did take my virginity, well it was awful and as he was leaving I said to him "well you certainly helped me decide if I prefer men or women". :) Good luck, sorry for long answer!

These ladies are all amazing...but there is only one problem... he live in PEI :)

The unfortunate thing is that she is probably already doing his bidding and he thought perhaps he could find a way to advertise her on here...kind of a sympathy type of thing. Guys would feel sorry for her or wish to teach her the finer art of intercourse. People think up some weird ass ways to market a product. Terrible that the product happens to be a young lady.

And what most of us do is in fact legal and not a issue for LE. Not to mention the gentlemen here like, respect and appreciate the ladies we see. But pimping out a girl, it's not only illegal, it's sleazy, immoral and unethical too. And in all likelihood how do you think a pimp keeps a girl who hates sex with strangers (my guess hates sex with the "boyfriend" too said in quotes because no real b/f would force his g/f to do this...he would care and protect his g/f, not pimp her out) in line (continue to have sex with strangers)...likely hook her on drugs I hope the cops saw his post and can do something. And I hope the g/f sees all these posts and sees her "boyfriend" for the exploitive loser he is and leaves him RG

Judging from a couple posts one important thing to add. If you schedule an encounter KEEP THE APPOINTMENT. Don't be a "tire kicker" That is nothing but rude and your going to develop a bad reputation in this community (yes, it's a community) if you do so. As much as this is a very intimate lifestyle, it is also at it's core, a business, and the ladies' livelihood. Ladies don't mind answering serious enquiries, but they do mind having their time wasted. You need to follow through on your enquiry by booking and keeping an encounter. If you have no intention of scheduling an encounter, don't waste the ladies' time. If it's a case of shyness/nervousness you need to overcome this (it's mind over matter). And tell the lady in your email you are shy/nervous. But still follow through with your encounter And standing ladies up, whether in this lifestyle or conventional dating, not cool at all It's all part of being a gentleman and showing common courtesy. RG

Maybe the providers gave up on you because you've never followed through on a visit.

I totally get your concern. But I always work under the assumption that ALL is seen. Privacy, in the internet age, is an illusion. I am not worried though. For quite some time I worked at an agency, never had an LE issue. 3+ years independent, same thing. The Cootchie Cops aren't looking for me. I don't ad car dates, illegal activities, steal from people or otherwise call attention. Do they know I exist? Absolutely. But I am SO the least of their concerns. Same with Hobbyists. Predators, however, are another matter entirely. I have no fear of Cerb being a target. Their parent company & affiliates are reputable, tax paying businesses. Wannabe Pimp Daddy, on the other hand: Bring in da funk, bring in da noise. And the cameras. Guys like this need a scarlet letter. A big old P. Sandi

I'm sure there are ladies who would accommodate your request. Contact a lady who interests you and be very respectful...in short be a gentleman. Tell her a little about yourself, provide verification information if requested, in short be up front with her. Mention in your email that you are a virgin and obviously inexperienced. But make sure from your email that she knows you are a gentleman she would be comfortable being with When you have the encounter, pace it. By that, book the encounter long enough for some social time (conversation etc) before any sexual activity takes place. And besides the donation, a tip and gift would be a nice added touch...after all, you always will remember with fondness the lady who took your virginity. The tip and gift a nice token of appreciation for the lady who did something so special for you RG

Ahhhh! Excuse me....ladies..please I do care what you ladies use. In fact when I go for a facial or pedicure I get hints from those specialist for my face and feet especially after a long hot summer vitamin e cream is important for aging and from sun. On a daily basis I shower with Dial body soap, I've been told I have very soft skin too and nice nipples (lol :) ) My favorite body soap is Shea,Jojoba & Mango by dial and you smell great too ! Here is a link to their product body soap. http://www.dialsoap.com/bw_triplemoisture.html

Well we men, well me, may not care exactly what you ladies use (and different ladies use/require different things). But, well speaking for me at least, I do appreciate, amongst other things, your soft smooth silky skin. And knowing there is some effort into maintaining it, that effort is appreciated RG

"Gay for Pay" is a lucrative business. If you're in debt, take one up the...I mean for the team. See how you like it before you ask her to do it. Don't ask anyone to do anything for you that you won't do for yourself... cat

All women, all shapes, all races, abilities, religions, all of it. You're all beautiful. I will echo what others have said; be respectful and clean and you'll do fine! I can't emphasize this enough--you have no need to feel self-conscious! After all, some of us CERB ladies are plus-sized ourselves ;)

I was hesitant to bring this up , bbbj and bbfs, mostly because I love bbbj, but I'm just wondering why so many are appalled at the idea of bbfs but there is little to no condemnation of bbbj, cim etc. I realize it is a very intimate act, I also realize there are many more risks with bbfs not to mention I personally do not want to perform daty on a lady after the previous client has done his business down there. All that said I appreciate that community is looking after each other with raising topics like this, but I am just a little (i'm not shocked by any stretch of the imagination) surprised at the response to this topic because there is very little conversation/concern around other "risky" behavior. I'm not saying that risky behavior it isn't discussed, but people seem very concerned about this issue.

Hot Tub Fun ! So here we are again . Another new Angle/Paradise girl and let me say wow before we start. After a long debate I decided to take one for the team , with a little reassurance form Angie of course , I book a session with Crystal. A Upon arrive I was greeted by a lovely beautiful Crystal in stunning black high heels . Standing on my tippy toes I could barley kiss her at all . Her devilish smile lead me to know soon I would be in heaven. Then Crystal reassuringly took my hand and off we went to the hot tub room ........................ But in all honestly I had a wonderful time and I will heading back there again and again ! She is a wonderful girl and please treat her with kindness and respect and you shall receive the same back ! Thanks again for the fun Crystal and Angie to ! Your both Awesome !

:icon_biggrin: I find height an attractive attribute, I love tall men 6ft + , although sexiness comes in all sizes and heights, whats your height preference.

Well not the same fear Jenn, but in the beginning of this lifestyle I was concerned, me being a middle aged man, bald, glasses and a belly meeting beautiful SP's, some of whom are IMHO model material. They could be in Playboy, Sport's Illustrated Swimsuit Edition or Victoria's Secret catalog or well you get the idea. These women could easily have any man they want. But, for the time of the encounter, the man they want is me, with all my flaws...I'm certainly not someone you'd see on the cover of Gentleman's Quarterly. If they really aren't into seeing men, they sure do a good job acting as if they are. They make me feel like a king, their friend and their boyfriend all rolled into one without making me feel like a client. And I'm sure they do that with all their clients. I say this because I believe you would get the same experience from SP's. Being treated like someone special, not a client. So I wouldn't worry about that aspect of meeting a SP. Probably your hurdle is having your first encounter, but it's just nervousness. I went through that first encounter nervousness and hurdle, probably everyone does. Once you do it though, you'll wonder why you waited so long Good luck RG

Without divulging the top secret info we have exchanged throughout our pms I do believe that the advice given throughout this thread i think verifies what i have told you. Being a virgin will usually not affect the choice of an Sp deciding to have an encounter with you or not, but respect and class and approach has a lot more to do with it. Take care handsome and relax i will take good care of you :)

That the cutest pep talk I've ever heard ;)

Sonny, everyone's comments have been spot on, and we're all rooting for you. This subject is near and dear to my heart, as I too was a "late bloomer". Here are just some thoughts. Procrastination is your enemy in this case. The longer you wait, either your first experiences will be crap, or you'll die a virgin. Research, research. Cerb ladies pages, or ladies with websites. On bp and other places you can't get much feel for someone before you start talking. Not sure just how young you are, but I would suggest someone at least mid 20's or a hot milf type, they'll be possibly more appreciative of your "condition" and not rush things. Through research you can find someone with at least some of the attributes that you've fantasized about, ie: red hair,bbw, etc.. Book a 2 hour appt., more if you can afford it. Any Cerb ladies I've met "in the flesh", or on line are considerate, caring women who maximize your pleasure if only you treat them with dignity. Another reason to go with someone in the age group I aforementioned: If you are very shy, have a disability, self image issues; they don't care. Believe me, many of us guys on here are middle aged, balding, slightly overweight, and not hugely hung, and the ladies make us feel like kings just the same. As for choosing a ma instead, maybe if a girl has not ever touched you or your dick at all, that might be a first step if you are really terrified. If if it were me, I say go sp. An sp will chat and relax you, maybe with a bit of massage. She'll be glad to let you explore her anatomy from head to toe, and she'll do the same to you. Somewhere along the line there will be some bj. Being a young buck, you prob. will have gone off by now, so you'll be glad you booked extra time. Before the session is done you will finally put it in. You will leave having finally achieved manhood. You will feel like you are walking on air for about a week. After another session or two you willbe fucking like a pro. You will exude confidence and look deeply into womens' eyes while talking to them, and they will smile. You wil also be more confident in all aspects of life. I'm not there to hold your hand, but if I was in Charlottetown, I know where I'd be headed. Damn, I'm getting a boner thinking about it. These are things I wish my dad would've told me long ago. Now get your butt out there and go for it kid. Pm me if you need encouragement. I'm sorry everbody, for being so longwinded, but I was where he is now, and I'm just trying to help him.

Waiting... is a 2005 American comedy film starring Ryan Reynolds, Justin Long, and Anna Faris.

yeah it's a scam, not ONE of those women will be taking care of you no matter who you request, there's likely only 2 or 3 women available who will go by whatever name you wish to call them, they are also likely older by about 10 years than the age stated. The photos on the website are stolen.

When I started in the game BBBJ was unheard of at least from my experiences. The option never came up as it really wasn't an option. Over that last few years it seems to me the game had changed. Reviews on boards refer to lack of the BBBJ option as deal-breakers and is openly discussed in more and more reviews and recommendations. There is no question that the option is now more openly offered than ever before and is also available without being openly offered and like most things ymmv. I have been the recipient of BBBJ without any discussion or request or it being listed as available services. So I'm curious what's changed ? Is it just a new generation of players both SP's and customers? Was this service happening more than I ever knew and folks were more discreet previously? Has the market place become more competitve compelling more providers to offer this service publicly vs privately. As I stated previously it's not a deal-breaker for me, I'm cool either way. Peace MG

Hey 42092, I just want to give you a bit of encouragement, so go ahead pick up the phone and call one of the fine lady of CERB, I'm cheering for you!

Here are a few of my observations. From your post, I don't get the impression that you are terribly enthusiastic, so maybe the problem is that you're being too tentative. I tend to think it's best to try the old fashion way first, get out and socialize, find a girl friend and invest yourself in a relationship. But if you've made the decision to hire a professional to cope your cherry, then by all means. Maybe you need to cast your gaze a little farther afield, you're in a fairly small market with limited options, so maybe you might have to take a road trip. Find someone with a bit of maturity and a good rep, check the reviews on a number of boards, and take a look of some of their posts. I don't think there are too many ladies out there that your virginity would be an issue as long as you're respectful. Lastly, try to keep your expectations reasonable and don't be too cheap. Good luck, enjoy, step up to the plate and do it.

What if I had stayed with my ex-husband (he's actually not a bad guy). What if I had not moved to Alberta, and met someone who exposed me to something that still haunts me today. What if I had had children. What if I had just stayed a little bit longer beside my mother's bedside, rather than worrying about running out of money at the parking meter.

If I had a son this is what I would recommend. You want to make sure the first time is positive and special. I am sure some that one of the fine ladies on this Board would consider it a great honour to be your first encounter. Take your time, find a gal in her twenties and have at it. Good luck.

I love silky smoothe skin. Yes, we might not know what products you use, but please keep up the fantastic work.

I'm pretty sure he's dabbled here and there... As for the context in which he said it, I'm sad he turned out to be exactly as oppressive and crooked as everyone said he was. There was a time, long ago, when I hoped most of the negative coverage of Putin could be chocked up to anti-Russian sentiments State-side. Back then, I would have found this kind of comment thoroughly amusing. Now I just sigh. He says it because he can get away with saying whatever he wants.

Now if we are talking about an SP/client relationship, Many people may have different views on this. To me personally it is a business relationship. Not saying it is right or wrong for anyone or that it couldn't workout between two loving people. But a customer is a customer to me whether I meet them as an SP or if I sell them a laptop at Futureshop. You don't poop where you eat lol.

Good idea Cristy, its nice for us ladies to share out little secrets and the gents probably don't care what we use anyway! :) I use a professional line called PCA products for my face and for my body, Body Shop body butter.

I just exfoliate every second day, and use Bert's Bees shower gel, lotions ect. I try really hard not to use anything that has mineral oil on my skin but I am pretty lucky to have really smooth, soft, blemish free skin in general. Haha one of my closest friends is an estetician and she is always jealous of how I can barely take care of my skin and its still much softer and retains a tan for much much longer then hers.

70 percent off sale at my favorite store(which is a great thing). Spending my entire paycheque? Not so great. --sigh-- Posted via Mobile Device

I threw up in my mouth reading this post. Sure, what guy wouldn't want to pay for a mediocre, lacklustre performance? Of course she could be great, just not with you. The wording here is truly disturbing. Not only putting it out there that the more they pay, the more they can do whatever they want to her but can because she just does as told. There is now way she is into this. This has procurement & coercion written ALL over it. Like Backrubman, I feel the best outcome would be that the authorities are reading this. Then we'll see how he likes being pimped out to the highest bidder in Millhaven. I hear they also " pay more " for newbies to " take direction ". Now excuse me, please, while I go delouse. Sandi

I have to give it up to Frank again, he kept his cool when he got evicted. I agree with the 3 previous posts, Danielle is a little crazy, on one hand she doesn't deserve to be there, on the other hand if you make it this far you do deserve to be there no matter how you got there. I can't read Ian when it comes to Dan, I kinda feel like he doesn't realize how slimy Dan is, however, I could be (and hope I am) wrong about that. Dan or Ian SHOULD win this game, I think Dan would win against Ian in the final 2 so Ian HAS to get Dan out. I've been watching this show since the beginning and I think this is a really good season and I'm glad this thread was created to talk about it.

My nominee for today is Jazy, dancer, sp. (spinner :)), and my personal inspiration for starting the Best Bums on the Planet thread. Unfortunately her hot albums are gone, but here's a sample:

Pretty sure the OP was looking for info on who offers this, not on who thinks it's "yuck" or "nasty". If this is something you don't offer or are not interested in, fair enough, but then why even click on a thread entitled "Extreme Gagging" in the first place? A fetish is a very personal thing to many. And usually, not something one has very much control over. I feel that someone should be able to come to cerb (and to the "BDSM, Fetish, etc" section of cerb of all places) and inquire about a fetish openly without having to be told his/her fetish is gross, immoral, etc.....regardless of what it is.....assuming of course that said fetish is occurring between two (or more :p) consenting adults. Ye ol' cerb motto applies here. If thou shant have anything good or helpful to say, thou shouldn't say anything at all. That being said I'm also interesting in knowing who provides an extreme-ish DT (although for me personally, not to the point of puking). Additional Comments: You may want to inquire with Berlin about this. I haven't had the pleasure of seeing her yet and I'm not sure if she offers exactly what you're looking for. But on her website she quotes "messy/gagging blowjobs" as part of the fetish/submission services she offers. Like I said, I haven't met her yet but she's very reputable and has very good reviews. Considering the nature of the request it's probably a good idea to PM her or e-mail her first to determine if she offers exactly what you're looking for.

It means an unwinnable situation. In the book Catch 22 (set during WWII) you could only get out of the army if you asked to be released, and the only ground for release was insanity. But if you asked to be released that proved you were sane, so it was unwinnable.

... okay it's not such a secret. I LOVE this lady. Whenever we speak, she makes me smile from ear to ear. When I see her pics, it makes my heart go pitter pat. When I met her, I KNEW that all of my thoughts about her were absolutely accurate. She is the one and only....

Sorry, WIT. I was taking issue with the idea that saliva/the mouth would create a hostile place and thus reduce the risks. The risks seem to be the same, and saliva isn't a fixer, which was kind of my point of view posting. It just reminded me of the myth that since HIV is not normally transmitted orally, that it 'must' be because saliva kills HIV. Altho the thread has side tracked into a bbbj issue, it doesn't really take away from the fact that most people seem to want to ignore the real risks in favour of the sensations (or $$) that come with bbbjs. And to me the only reason to do this is to ignore the actual stats, information and std sites themselves. As mentioned, there seem to be a lot of teens getting gonorrhea now, and that is still the group with the highest infection rates of chlamydia. These people who are tested and treated and get statistically counted are only a fraction of the ones who don't get tested and treated, and move into adult life carrying this. Some become sex workers, still untested and untreated, and others become clients, still untested and untreated. This is how these things become epidemics. In Greece a crack down on the illegal brothels, and with enforced HIV testing (legal workers are required to test) found this result: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/03/greece-prostitutes-hiv-arrests_n_1473864.html That is more on point with the actual thread topic: Many countries with regulations on legal prostitution make condom use for oral sex and sex mandatory, and a crime if they are not used. I doubt that they do these things just to be busybodies. They are based on real health and safety issues, not whimsy.

I understand there is a desire to believe that infections therefor can not take place in the mouth as readily as say bbfs, but the reality is quite different. Saliva doesn't kill viruses, if it did no one would ever pass the flu or mononucleosis from person to person. And we aren't talking about saliva to saliva contact (as in kissing), we are talking about putting uncovered semen (which does carry stds) into the mouth and throat. When someone gets chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphillis orally, the infection is found in the throat not the mouth. http://std.about.com/od/riskfactorsforstds/a/oralsexsafesex.htm There are reasons why daty is considered safer, vs bbbjs for the woman, for example for reasons above. The link covers more stds. Nothing refers to how the mouth is a safer place.

Exactly my point. Kissing, digits, and daty do not involve my interaction with semen, so the risk of catching an std from those three are minimal to none, there has never been a reported case of women catching HIV from DATY, ever. There are, however, reported cases of women, and photos if anyone cares to google, of women with std's from bbbj. This is proven medical fact. The disease is in the semen. No semen, no HIV. Very simple. My point was this, very simply, if you will put an unprotected member into one hole in your body, why is it any different in another? Your body is all connected, one unit. You mouth and your cookie aren't separate, the all belong to one organism, you. That's like saying, "oh ill inject heroin into my arm, but not into my foot." It's all connected, so I'm just trying to understand the reasoning/logic behind this thought process, of why one orifice is "safe" but another is not. I used to get mad about girls who did bbbj when i first started, I used to blame them when clients would call me, book an appointment, we're all set to go, and then they ask " oh btw, you do do bbbj right?" My response, as many can attest to, is always "as my health and safety, as well as the health and safety of my clients is my #1 priority, I do not engage in any unprotected services." and some would cancel on me. I do not hide that I'm a safe gfe, it's on my website in black and white. Some really respect me because of this. I had more than a few they tell me they're terrified of bringing something home, and I'm one of the few they can truly relax with, my business practices put their mind at ease. Some don't care either way. Others cancel on me. Why do I say all this? Because my perception has changed over the last my few years in my time in this industry. I realized getting mad at the ladies who do BBBJ is irrelevant, it will not change the fact that ladies will still offer it, and men will still ask for it. If you want to take risks like that, that your perogative. Just as I no longer get upset at the ladies who BBFS. There was at time when bbbj was taboo, someone told me they got in trouble working for an agency for a letting a guy cum on her chest. Now, fast forward 10 years, BBBJ is now the norm. In the U.S. SAFE GFE is norm, as well as Australia. Why did it change here? Because the ladies offer it, quite simply. If ladies didn't offer it, then no one could buy it. I remember one lady said "Back in the 90's, no guys had problem cumming with a condom on." Somewhere along the line, someone started offering, more guys asked for it, more ladies offered it. Us safe gfe's are few and far between, I am one of the last of a dying breed. So I wonder, why should BBFS be any different? Now, someone offers it, so now it's being purchased.I don't understand how can you get upset at guys for asking for BBFS when BBBJ's are the norm. It's just a natural progression. I think the logic is "if she does it unprotected in one orifice, she might let me in another." Dangerous logic, but logic none the less. For the sp, the risk factors for both are pretty high, you are the receiver of ejaculatory fluids, no matter which orrifice you get it in.The roads may be different, but they all lead to the same place. Being angry is pointless. I'm not knocking anyone's business practice, like i stated it's your body your choice. I honestly don't care what another lady does, its her life she can with it as she pleases. My point is, you can't get mad at guys asking for BBFS or ladies providing it anymore than us SAFE GFE's can get mad at ladies for providing BBBJ's. If we want to change guys asking for BBFS, the only way to do so is to stop the ladies that offer it, much like the only way to stop people from asking for bBBJ's is to stop offering them.Good luck with that. The ladies in countries like Cambodia do BBFS, so people ask for it and it's rampant. However, in countries like australia where SAFE GFE is the norm, unprotected services are frowned upon, and the ladies that do offer it (much like the ladies who offer BBFS here) are shunned. Whats the difference? The ladies in Cambodia are willing to do BBFS, the ladies in Australia are not. So really at the end of the day, what is asked of us by our client base is a direct reflection of what we are willing to offer. So we cannot get mad a them, the guys asking or the sp's that provide. We as sp's are the ones to blame.

The risks of BBBJ run both ways with this activity. There are cases in the medical literature of the recipients receiving a little more than they anticipated! Interestingly among young women, the risk of STI is lower with anal sex than with vaginal by a factor of two. However both are more risky by three and six times respectively if BB as compared with Covered. The only risk avoidance approach is abstinence :frown:: all else is risk management. The risks from safer practices are much lower. There are lots of other things we do that are way more lethal, say driving a car for example. CB

I get asked for this fairly often from new clients in their late 50s and 60s. They usually say something about how they haven't been with anyone other than their wife for years, so they're sure that they're completely safe. They tend to think that STIs are risks that younger people need to deal with but since I'm a professional they're sure I'm not carrying anything that they need to worry about. Needless to say, they don't get anywhere with me. I, too, have heard that other women provide bbfs for an extra $50-100. I don't pay any attention to these claims. Why? Well, in my experience, sex is one of the things people lie about all the time! If someone thinks that telling a particular story may help them get what they want, the incentive to lie is strong. I don't offer any uncovered contact, period. If someone questions me about it, I politely inform him that it's my job to keep us both safe and healthy. A syphilis epidemic has been going on in Vancouver since the mid 1990s. If I were to offer bbbjs, I might expose the recipients to syphilis unknowingly, since it can live very happily in a human throat for many months without producing any symptoms. This usually brings that conversation to an end!

I'm really glad I don't have Dr. Phil as my therapist. Yikes. I had less self-esteem when I working for wages that progressively got lower and lower as the years have gone by, working as an admin. assistant for employment agencies that gouged the federal government by billing almost twice they pay me (talk about pimps). Over the years, I have had to work with some people who treated me like crap, never showed me or other any appreciation, stuck me with demeaning tasks and blamed me when things went wrong. I was also let go once because I refused to do a task that could have jeopardized my security clearance. Since I had no union protection and the agency didn't care, I had no recourse in that situation. Oh, but I'm supposed to be proud of that because it's better than escorting. According to who? Dr. Phil of the bible belt? Since I have gone from part-time escorting to full-time escorting, I can work part-time hours for full-time pay and not have to put up with all that bullshit. I'd like to see Dr. Phil give up his standard of living to live in public housing, go on assistance or have to rely on food banks or charities to get by. This lady needs to look at why she is burning out. She mentioned her clients treat her good. Not knowing her full story or the details behind it, I would hesitate to comment on what she needs to do, but it sound like time management issue may play into this. I believe I have more self-esteem now that I did when I was doing office work and being unrewarded and unappreciated for my efforts.
