7 pointsFirst got the call last week about mom's eye. Now just got a call from dad, he has just been diagnosed with cancer (leukemia) Apparently according to him it's the least serious (all cancer is serious) and most treatable form of leukemia. He starts chemo next week for five weeks He told me not to worry, yeah right, I'm worried RG

2 pointsThere are a number of things wrong with that article: speaking for sex workers, demonizing clients, wrongheaded john-shaming and rehabilitation campaigns, reinforcing the idea that sex workers are commodities to be bought and sold, etc. They seem have taken as a given that "it is not OK to buy sex" and then worked from there. I wish they had given some kind of justification for that premise so there could actually be the dialogue that they purport to want. It's hard to talk with someone when their starting position is "you're wrong and awful."

2 pointsFurthermore, I would say that quite a few of us are savvy and shrewd business people who employ effective marketing practices and possess money management skills. This market, as well as many others, is consumer driven. This is a luxury service that we offer and if the disposable income is not available competition becomes a bit more fierce. In these economic times it is important to set yourself apart but not compromise your ideals. If you structure a good business plan and have the ability to budget then slow times are manageable, just like they are for any successful business. My 2cents.

2 pointsI am not a girl. I am not for sale; my services are. You don't buy your hairdresser, you pay for their services. Also, what is a "real" man? This whole campaign has irritated me from day one, when Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher started it. The men they used in their campaigns had an awful track record of misogyny - not very "real" men themselves. If these folks in Sudbury are having issues with finding condoms and syringes in their backyards, they might want to address THAT. It may not just be sexworkers utilizing those areas but also an issue of homelessness and addiction.

1 pointOk guys, I have seen this lady twice now. After the first time, I did not review because once she becomes known, she will be very busy, and hard to book. After the second time though, I thought I would let the secret out. Nikki is what I would describe as a pixy of a lady. Very cute with a nice smile and personality. We have all seen the pix in her album, and I can tell you that her tiny tight bum looks just as good in person as in the pictures. Boobs are well in proportion to the rest of her body, as well as perky and firm. Nikki loved to DFK, and her breathing became heavy very quickly. After a few squeezes and rubs of her pussy, she became very drenched down below, and starts making those sexy noises we all love to hear. DATY was nice with her doing some grinding in my face, (oh so wet!!!) Pulled her to the edge of the bed for some DATO, and she seemed to like that. Switched to 69 with her doing some very nice and wet BLS. On to full service with me on top, and oh she is tight... :-) I only lasted a few minutes, with her voice in my ear repeating those dirty words I said to her. (One of the hardest orgasams I have had recently.) I did ask what her restrictions were, and she told me that she did not do CIM or GREEK. (No fingers in the back door either...) In my opinion this gal should not be passed up. NB: A shout out of thanks to the good folks at Pfizer for helping an older man like me make these encounters possible. ;-)

1 pointAfter some searching, I wanted to let you know I've made a decision to take a leave of absence from from CERB as well as my life as Jade. There comes a time when we all have to make lasting and important decisions. There are few more important things in life than the people we love. And this is where this decision come from. CERB has been an amazing and supportive community I couldnt have asked for a better place to make many friends. That encourages and supports all of the wonderful and amazing women here. The cerb gentlemen are by far bar none. Thank you for just being you. You will all be missed... Jade xoxo I also wanted to let you know I will no longer be reachable on my phone.

1 pointSilent, obviously I've hurt you. I'm sorry. That was not my intention. Sometimes I suppose I tend to be a little cavalier. First, let me note that I have been in the business since my mid-teens. I just turned 55. I've been happy to receive valuable advice on numerous occasions from other SPs (and I'm still learning from some of my colleagues here), and I've also provided advice and mentoring on many occasions. Secondly, let me say that I am a bitter consumer. Nope, I'm not a happy camper most of the time when it comes to spending my money. I don't know who the great minds running business these days are, but I pretty much think they suck. Positive buying experiences seem to be a rarity these days, and god help you if you should need customer service or technical support. Let me just outline a few recent disappointments: -- We like Quaker Muffets shredded wheat cereal at our house, but we are concerned about GMOs. If possible, we'd like to avoid buying GMO products. So I wrote to Quaker Canada to ask specifically if any GMO products are used in making the Muffets, and if they are used in any of their oat products. I got no response at all for weeks. When I did finally get one, I can sum it up as saying, "that's for us to know and not for you to find out." Gee. Thanks. That's helpful. Not. -- I bought a Skype phone a few years back that was being aggressively marketed to Skype users. Looked like a good deal for me, so I sprung for it. It's made by VTech. I had an installation issue, and VTech essentially sent me to Skype. Skype (rightfully) pointed out that they don't manufacture phones and aren't prepared to provide support on them. A check of a users forum on Skype's site showed that most people had no installation problems, but some percentage, like me, did and weren't getting any help either. I finally found the solution and brought it back to the forum for the other users, and only then was VTech interested in speaking with me. That was 2008. Last week, I decided to use my Skype phone to call my daughter. It didn't work. Grr. A check around indicated that when Skype upgraded its software, VTech didn't bother to update their software to remain compatible. I now have a 4-year-old phone that is no longer supported by the manufacturer. -- We had to buy a new vacuum cleaner recently. We probably should have done more homework, but we live out in the sticks and had to order one out of the catalogue through the local Home Hardware. The model we chose came with a power head, a smooth floor head and several hand attachments. Only trouble is, this puppy made it out of development before adequate testing (or it was designed by someone who's seen pictures of vacuum cleaners, but never actually used one). There are several design flaws, but the most serious was that in order to switch to the power head, you had to attach a cord, by way of clamps, up the wand and across the hose. To switch to the smooth floor head or to use any of the hand attachments, all this had to be removed. Not only is this grossly inconvenient, but all that clamping and unclamping puts excessive wear on the unit. We had to implement a design modification, splitting the cord where the wand meets the hose, and installing a second plug. We also salvaged a second wand out of an old unit for the smooth floor head. Only now can we use the vacuum the way vacuums are needed in the course of cleaning a home. But really, why should we have to pay for a new vacuum, and then modify it to be able to use it? -- We have a grandson who turned 3 over the summer. The poor fellow! It seems like almost everything he touches has a corporate trademark on it, from what he eats to what he wears to what he plays with. We wanted to give him a present, but at that age, what can you give him? We talked it over and decided to send him flowers. He'd have the surprise of a special delivery, the sensuality of the flowers, and he'd know we were thinking of him. So I ordered through the web site of a (previously, anyway!) reputable floral delivery service. We spent $70. When I saw what was delivered, I was heartbroken and embarrassed. It looked like a bouquet you could pick up at a local grocery store for under $20 plunked in a cheap tumbler. The only bright side in all of this is my grandkid doesn't know from flowers. I contacted customer service, and got back a response saying basically, "we're sorry we didn't meet your expectations" with a tone that made it seem like the problem was my expectations, not what was delivered, and an offer of 10% off. I told them not to bother. I made up this pic and posted it to Twitter. The next day, some VP phoned me, again apologizing for my unmet expectations, and gave me a full refund. The local florist delivered a new and more closely approximating bouquet to my grandchild. But really, the whole thing left me sour. What was supposed to be a happy occasion turned into a nightmare of dealing with customer service and doing something that usually isn't my style (but my daughter prodded me) of making a public complaint. In the end, nobody made any money off it (it cost them money), it wasn't a good experience for me, and it turns out they could have delivered something half decent in the first place. So why? Why, why, why??? I wish I could say that this is only an occasional problem, or only occurs in the odd industry, but really, poor quality, bad customer service/support, and such have reached epidemic proportions. The notion that anyone with expertise in any other industry could somehow improve ours seems very odd to me at the moment. If anything, I think we whores should be putting together seminars for other business leaders, to help them get back in touch with the business of satisfying customers and encouraging eagerness to repeat, rather than swearing off and dreading the next time they have to make a purchase. Honestly, things are so bad that, at my house, we have a new motto: don't make it, don't spend it, don't pay taxes on it. We're probably frontrunners, but make no mistake, a movement is building. In its efforts to ever increase profits, I see businesses exhausting consumer good will. More and more people are sick and tired of being told it's none of their business what's in it, just buy it and shut up, or being passed off to someone who, while admirable for their grasp of English, isn't empowered to help customers who find they need support after spending their money. More and more, when I think about buying something, the word "SUCKER!!!" rings in my head. We do experience slow times in this business. This is not just a luxury, but it's an intensely private luxury for many. There are a lot of factors at play. I had a place in Ottawa during the bus strike a few years back. Who would have suspected that a bus strike would cost me so much business? But it did. While few of my clients relied on the bus, they were suddenly having to drive spouses, kids, neighbours, coworkers, employees, and this left them far fewer opportunities to slip away for a little private time. There really are so many things that can and do affect our business. Because of its nature, we tend to be the canary in the coal mine for recessions. I stand firmly behind something Meg said. It's the #1 piece of advice I give to anyone who asks me: make a realistic budget and stick to it. Not only does that help SPs weather tough times, but I also believe it helps them sidestep making choices out of desperation--something that often ends in tragedy. Seriously, silent, I did not mean to offend you. But please understand that, to me, the notion that other businesses might be able to help our business is simply repulsive. I can count on the fingers of one hand the businesses I trust and feel good about buying from these days (and still have enough fingers left over to use chopsticks).

1 pointI dunno. To be honest, I always wondered why some guys would take their business to the street when there are safer and more legal options. Is it cheaper (as long as you don't get busted)? Is it the "walk on the wild side" aspect? Are they unaware of other options? Or is it that there's something desirable about using the services of someone you know is far below you in social status. People often note that many streetwalkers feel like they have to be out there, like they don't have other options. Okay. But what's the street john's excuse? Most independent SPs I know enjoy a status similar to that of most of their customers. They're well-educated, have credit, are members of their communities. Incidences of things like substance abuse or domestic abuse are probably lower amongst the SPs I know than in the general population. I haven't known all that many streetwalkers (don't know any right now), but all that I ever knew could be described as living on the margins of society. Most had substance abuse problems, housing security and domestic violence issues. Maybe somewhere there's some savvy bunch of streetwalking soccer moms, but I've never seen it. Call me old-fashioned, but I believe that purchasing sexual services is something private. What does it say when a man flaunts his choice, putting his desires as a priority over others legitimately trying to use the same space (businesses dealing with their customers, families using public space)? I believe that hanging criminal charges around the neck of a streetwalker is only going to drive her (or him) further into the margins. But streetwalking is a huge problem in communities, and the purpose of law enforcement is to reduce problems. I wouldn't mind seeing tougher penalties for street johns. Obviously they view what we have now as a joke, and it doesn't deter them at all. As we've seen with drinking and driving, there are some people you simply can't reason with.

1 pointI didn't think you did. The thread is about Diamond Escorts. Just throwing out some explainations about our side of the business. Many people don't understand the way the business REALLY works. Being a legitimate business owner in some real world enterprises, I would never dream to run things the same way as PK. This business is a completely different world. With a completely different M.O.

1 pointI suspect the operative word in the title "An Exotic Escort's Diary" is the word "An" as in this is her diary, her experiences, and it would be inaccurate to extrapolate her experiences to all escorts. Further, I suspect if I were given total access to the daily lives of twelve of CERB's finest for a month, I could write twelve separate diaries. But then again, I could be mistaken. I am open to correction from any and all providers.

1 pointWith the a number of awesome ladies on here, I have had several unbelievable experiences, where I have felt incredible. I love in when the ladies are jelly legged and need some time to be able to recover. Those kind of orgasms just blow my mind.

1 pointI generally find it rare to come across something that causes me frustration to the point that I am angry, but this article is very close to bringing me to that point. The frustration is there, with certainty! Where do I start? 1. "Real men don't buy girls." Never once in my foray into the world of Cerb have I felt that I was buying a person. The idea of buying a person is abhorrent to me. What I have done is enter into very unique transactions that probably two years ago I would have questioned, but now, after having met so many incredible people on here, I find my participation to be one side of a mutually beneficial agreement. So what did I purchase? I know I did not purchase a woman. I purchased the opportunity to meet someone that intrigued me. I purchased the opportunity to communicate with someone in a way that I never would be able to do otherwise. I purchased the opportunity to engage in an intimate physical encounter, but each and every time should that not happen because either of us were uncomfortable, then that activity was not taken by me as a guarantee. Most of the women that I have met would never consider selling themselves, the person who is an SP. 2. "People recognize that absent in all our work around prostitution is an analysis of men who buy sex under exploited conditions." This quote alone sends me into debate mode. First there is the presumption that the women involved are being exploited. I am not naive enough to think that there are not women in this industry who are being exploited. The women that I see here on Cerb do not give me that opinion. An independent service provider is her own boss and she makes her own decisions. She can choose to work, or not. She can choose to meet any particular client, or not. She can choose to meet many clients, or few. She can choose to work seven days a week, or none. That sounds to me more like a successful business plan opportunity. Who are these men who buy sex? I am one and I have met several others through Cerb. None of us are the stereotypical John. Some are married, some are single, some are widowed. We each have our own personal and unique reason to be involved here. For many of us it is not solely sex that we seek but personal companionship, fantasy or otherwise. 3. "Crime stoppers runs a local program to reform men ......" Reform men????? Reform according to one dictionary is defined as "to cause (a person) to abandon wrong or evil ways of life or conduct." To be reformed therefore I must be doing something that is wrong or evil. It may turn out that for me on a personal level that this is wrong, never evil, and time will tell, but on a societal level from what I have seen there is nothing wrong or evil about it. As with any story there are two sides to it. If the issue is street level prostitution, hanging out on corners, unwarranted street traffic in suburbia, noise, the leaving behind of debris, refuse, condoms and the like then there is something to be said. Study and raising discussion about prostitution is ultimately a good thing, but to open a dialogue with the basic premise and conclusion that prostitution is wrong and evil is not a discussion at all.

1 pointVery good points. And I find that they don't just not ask the underage worker, they assume the underage worker is working in exploitive conditions and/or coerced. We can't always make those assumptions, because I have spoken to a few sps who did work when under 18, and they had their own individual reasons to do that. Including just getting spending money for shopping and not really knowing what the heck they were doing. Another due to drug use, but the drugs came first, the sex work was to pay for the addiction. And there are few options outside of streetwork for the underage worker, too.
-
1 pointYeah, I'm pretty sure they had Charlie Sheen holding up one of those signs before. Ironic considering he locked a sex worker in a closet. There's also a conflation of issues here; implicit in the slogan "real men don't buy girls" is the notion that men are purchasing services from underage sex workers, and child/underage prostitution is not the same as adult consensual sex work. And as much as I don't condone underage sex work, there is a serious lack of actual conversation with the underage people in question. No one ever asks them what they need; people just assume and go from there.
-
1 pointWell I don't buy girls. What I as all gentlemen do is compensate women (adults) for their time, and what consenting adults do privately during that time is no one's business. At no time, because I pay a donation, does the lady lose control. Her boundaries are completely respected...I don't own the lady, not even a little bit. We have a mutually beneficial time together Tired of the morality squad that doesn't understand nor would ever try to understand And we are all preaching to the choir here aren't we RG

1 pointGreat way to connect or break the ice. Please practice good hygeine. I always keep mouthwash in my bathroom and encourage clients to use mouthwash. It not only kills bad breath but also bacteria. Additional Comments: Kissing is a great way to connect and also to break the ice. I always keep a bottle of mouthwash in my bathroom and encourage callers to rinse. It not only kills bad breath, but bacteria too. Additional Comments: Oops, didnt think my first comment posted. I am still new to all this. :)

1 pointI agree it is what the agency is about. But I think what was meant was if there were no ladies available. Like we won't answer the phones after the ladies are booked off for the night, say like after 3 am or Whatever time they are done. As far as Texts, we don't answer them that quickly and everyone has to book by phone CALL not txt. In our case it has to do with the fact my phone is forwarded to one of my receptionists. They don't even see the texts because I have the phone physically in my hand, they don't. And I can't book a lady, and they find out she was already previously booked. And unfortunately alot of guys who text, are not overly serious about booking and its a huge washout factor. If ppl honoured their appts, there would be more interest in dealing with Text messages, but the bad apples spoiled the bunch. Another issue, in our case is sometimes the phone gets jammed or even freezes and we have to reboot it. We receive alot of phone calls a day. Hundreds.. and sometimes it's hard to get to everyone. Not defending these guys, because I doubt their volume is too high based on the comments here. I noticed they are offering a 2000 dollar signing bonus. I wonder how that works.. LOL I guess it will catch some very naive young girls.. Who knows?

1 pointShe isn't able to post on EC. The ad on EC was pulled. They asked her to sign up on cerb and apologize and stop using fake photos on other sites. Once she fixes her reputation they would allow her to come back. She verified the photos on EC however with so many complaints on cerb we warned her months ago that posting fake photos on other sites like BP was damaging her reputation and making people mad at her and making them feel the photos on EC were fake too (even with the verified photo icon). At first we suspected that someone else was working off her ad maybe as she did verify her photos with us on EC... after talking with some of the guys more we feel her photos may be outdated (her body has obviously changed or has some really misleading photos done) but her face is for sure matches the verified photo! She also admitted to using fake photo on other sites but swears all the photos on EC were 100% real photo of her. Anyway... hopefully she realizes this is not doing her any good. Problem is that sooooooo many guys did not just leave when they were bait and switched that she is making loads of money of the fake photos (she admitted to this as well saying only a few guys left) and this just leaves a trail of very upset customers and money in her pocket (and since she travels city to city her supply of gullible guys seams to be endless. if guys would just LEAVE and not give her a penny every time they felt ripped off these ladies would NOT do this!! When you make it profitable for them to do this ... you just reward them for this behavior. I am shocked at how many of you still pay and stick around.
