FFS. 1. Many of the ladies who have responded to you with EXCELLENT advice have been doing this for more than 20 years. I'm pretty sure they'd be able to "fathom" such behaviour if it actually happened on a regular basis--except it doesn't. 2. If you're so suspicious and paranoid--this really isn't the right job for you. Not that it matters because... 3. ....I'm pretty sure you're a dude! I hate to play gender roles here, but no legit woman looking to get into this business would ask the questions you're asking.

It's easy to launch trial balloons in the form of "What if..." questions, especially online where no one knows who anyone is or what their ulterior motive may be. But if I've taken a room at, say, the PanPacific Hotel here in Vancouver and someone goes to the front desk and says that the lady in room 1811 is a prostitute and is entertaining clients there today, I expect the hotel management will laugh long and hard. "Prove it," they will say. "Start by first telling us who you are (and showing some ID), then tell us the name of the person registered in that room and give us a concrete reason to believe that this person is working there." What will you do? Provide your identification? Somehow, I find this difficult to imagine. Can you furnish the name under which the room is registered? I guarantee that you won't be able to do that. Will you be able to provide evidence that someone called Samantha Evans has invited you to consort with her at the PanPacific Hotel this afternoon? Maybe you can. But you won't have a room number and in any case the PanPacific has never heard of Samantha Evans. You can get frustrated and pound the desk. You can roll your eyes and storm around a little bit. You can say that maybe you have the room number wrong, but you know that there's a prostitute in the hotel and you want them to take action, to call the police or at least go and check that room or other rooms. This might be an interesting way to entertain yourself for about five minutes on a rainy Vancouver afternoon in the dregs of winter. But from the hotel's standpoint you will look like a spiteful boyfriend or a malicious ex-partner or someone who's just got it in for a woman who turned him down when he tried to pick her up in the bar. If I do say so myself, no one has ever visited me anywhere and complained about it afterward. Oh, wait. That's not true. See, I had this stalker awhile back.... The police took care of that problem for me. But otherwise, the gentlemen who visit me and who see my colleagues in similar circumstances are no more interested in causing harm to me than I am in harming them or anyone else, anywhere, anytime. We meet. They pay me for my time. We engage in mutually agreeable things, whether we have a meal, play some chess, debate what passes for politics in B.C. or indulge in a wide range of delectable, erotic activities. Usually it's a combination of things. And at the end of our appointed time, we part company amicably. It's that simple. It may transpire that the gentleman and I discover that we're really not quite as compatible as we'd expected. The meeting may go very well, but one or the other of us may not want to repeat. Maybe he was looking for a one-time encounter, nothing more. Astonishingly, a man could discover that a verbal, opinionated woman isn't his preferred cup of tea regardless of her other skills and assets. Whatever the reason, it won't be because one of us has robbed the other, or because either of us was assaulted or has ventured to blackmail the other. Fear-mongering helps no one. But if you believe that most people are out to get you, if you imagine that everyone is hatching some dire plan to bring about your ruin... sweetheart, this is not the right profession for you. You will either take foolish risks that bring about exactly what you hoped to avoid or you will take no chances at all and earn nothing. At the least, you will end up feeling bitter, used and degraded because that's all you expected to feel, no matter how much cash you've got in your hand. More than 99% of the time, if screened effectively, the client is not an enemy.

and so are you.

A number of us here on cerb think you are actually a guy posing as a lady asking these questions, we have let you continue to see what becomes of this (your intentions).... Some members suspect you may be a guy we recently banned. Your writing style and wording choices scream "male"... We just want to be sure before we ban your account so we are basically letting you hang yourself here,

WHAT would you do in that situation if you are in a hotel and are supposed to be there for a day or two and they threaten to rat you out? My first repsonse would be : Go ahead...make my day ...I dare you to go and report me to the hotel, and while your at it-you can explain how it is that you know this....lol I would also keep his money, order him the eff out and then take his information and report it to the sp bad date section ;)

I have to agree with Boomer. I don't condone what these men did. It is clearly illegal and it is illegal for very good reasons. There is questionable judgment at this age, and these girls should wait until they are old enough to fully understand all of the implications of the decision. Not sure if 18 is even old enough for that. I still thought I knew everything at 18 and it took a lot of time to realize how wrong I was. That being said, lumping these men in with men who commit what in my opinion is one of the most heinous of crimes, sexually abusing defenseless young children, does a disservice to the term and perhaps lessens its impact by using it too broadly. I know we are talking semantics here, but that is just my opinion. I also find it disturbing that LE is taking this "sting" approach, but again, if they keep their sights set on the guys who are seeking underage girls, then I have no issues with that. I just hope that they don't use their success here as an excuse to start cracking down on men seeking in-call locations for example, which are still technically illegal. Likely not worth their time and perhaps I worry too easily, but one has to at times when there is so much at stake. Just my thoughts.

They got what they deserved, in my opinion.. I have iffy feelings about 18 year Olds in this business even. When youre that young, you're not in the headspace to think throughly of the consequences and risks involved in your actions. I was mature for my age at 17, but had I gotten into the business then, my thinking would have been much different than it is now. When I think about how young teenagers are in their minds, and how they make their decisions, it really bothers me, and I do find it exploitative, that someone would try to hire one for sex. Even if they aren't children per se, most teens aren't mature enough to make these types of life changing decisions, and I really don't believe a high percentage of the men who would see such young ladies, actually have their best interests at heart.

I agree that what these men did is wrong but to label them as pedophiles is just going a bit too far. Yes seeking someone so young is wrong but in some ways what the police are doing borders on entrapment in my opinion.

..., I am not big on Toys.., I am more into Real deal ;).., but even If I was to be a toy lover.., I think I would have my own... Toys are something that are very personal... and yes there is desinfectants and cleaners... and like u say u can even put a condom on ..., they are still very personal.... lol My opinion anyway :)

I'm completely happy with LE using BP to target the men who seek out underage girls. If the ad or initial correspondence with the ad poster says that the girl is 16 years old, the man must end the correspondence, period. Even better would be to report the ad to BP or the police. It's not illegal to read or reply to an escort ad, so there's nothing to fear for taking action. Until the Supreme Court of Canada makes its decisions on the prostitution laws, which probably won't happen until 2015 or so, there's no reason to worry about LE targetting men who are looking for an in-call engagement. The police and judiciary are not interested in entertaining charges about independent companions working quietly. If someone is operating an in-call and creating a public nuisance, that could be a problem, but it would be a civic by-law matter in most cases, not a criminal one. Going after the people who are promoting underage prostitutes and the men who are seeking them, however, is perfectly fine with me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8AkjWQ3P-M OK THIS IS AMASING!!!!! YOU KINDA THINK IT IS STUPID AT FIRST, CAUSE YOU CANT SEE WHAT HE IS PAINTING, BUT THEN AT THE END YOU FEEL YOU ARE STUPID FOR NOT SEEING IT!

I think Vanessa gave you a good advice. In addition if he threatens to call the police, remind him that he has to explain to the police why he is there himself. It is criminal to be found in a bawdy house if he is in the hotel room that he claims to be one. Not to mention blackmail.

Further to Samantha's post, the solicitation laws really are addressing "public nuisance". It's important to remember that the client can be charged with solicitation in addition to the service provider. Women can find themselves being solicited by men while walking down the street in an area used for street prostitution. This can be embarrassing, uncomfortable or threatening depending upon the circumstances. This is one of the public behaviours that the solicitation laws are designed to address.

While the age was not in the original ad, these guys absolutely knew she was underage. I replied to the ad, and the first sentence of the response was "Hi, I'm Chrissy. I'm 16 years old...." I immediately emailed the BP abuse account and also contacted crimestoppers.

Okay, darlings, This is the fetish board, so I'm asking: What are your kinks? What turns you on and gets you off that's outside of that narrow, confining box called "normal"? Clearly, I like feet - no kidding. ;-) I like people who like women's feet (ideally mine) and I like women's feet, myself. But I also like the crack of a good single-tail (I only just learned how to use one, so I won't be taking aim at actual people any time soon). I'm also curious about suspension bondage, about what it takes to make another person fly, about how to make the rope an extension of one's own arms. What are you into? - Tess.

I had a reply all ready to go, then lost it somehow. :( I wasnt that impressed by the first episode and the first airing of After Dark. No one seemed to be talking about anything other than food, and themselves, etc. The 2nd After Dark and episode was an improvement and personalities and game playing is starting. In general after last night's AD, I would say that Suzette is shooting herself in the foot by actively saying she doesn't actually want to talk game, and seems to be saying she wants to drift along to have a good time in the house. I appreciate that she is unlikely to win challenges, but people are also going to wonder which way the wind blows with her and just decide to make her an easy eliminatioin if they end up being HOH and want an easy out for nominations and eviction without losing anyone else's support for the following week. I likes the attempt at diversity, I must say I was hoping but not really expecting what they ended up doing. I thought that they would try to check off all the culture boxes with one guest, a 50 year old black (or mixed) lesbian mother of 3 from Montreal. So fairly impressed that they didn't do that, and then have 14 white guests lol. I found it kind of Canadian that the first person to get evicted was pretty much the only person who was campaigning or trying to play the game and the others felt she was being too pushy lol. The Have Not room looks pretty comfortable, and the hammock looks like it will be the place for strategizing for 2-3 at a time. I liked the challenges seen so far are simple, more like BB in the early years. Only the last couple of years the challenges seem to be getting very complex and elaborate and expensive, when it isn't really necessary. we don't see the full challenge on After Dark, we only see snippets in the episodes, we appreciate them

Ummm I think that is what I said. It is legal except in cases of what is termed as exploitation. I explicitly said "does not pay them".

When someone requests information, you answer, then nothing. Hmmm

Ropes is my passion and obsession. Hell in less than 3 weeks I am going to Japan to further study bondage and literally spending thousands on this simply to pursue it. What it take? Ropes, dedication, patience, love, skills, a capable bottom. Bondage, especially suspension is not sexual for me. Yes I may get a bit wet at time, but I don't have the urge to have sex or have an orgasm, but it is, extremely cathartic in it's own way. I get tied, I tied other and also tie myself. Tying/being tied is like a tango. It take two to dance, it's the same with ropes. You need to be in fusion and trust the person that is tying you. Sometime with your life. Tying myself in a way is the best therapy possible :D I can tie myself in a slow,sensual, comfortable suspension and enjoy it or if I am feeling stress, need to feel adrenaline, I can do a harsher tie to make my blood flow @piano8950 I'm going to use myself as an example. Here some pics :D Trusting someone with your life...If I didn'T trust the person that tied me this way, I would never let her do this. It's not something anyone can do It's trust, intimacy This is a self suspension :) ( I tied myself up in the air this way) Okay I'm out or I will never shut up about it

3 in one printer, after mine crapped out at T4 time. Then, I Ebayed a kit to fill the cartridges. Sigh......I know this is gonna be a messy experiment.

What's that saying? "...a time and a season for all things...". The depth of feeling you have about the companion you've lost is a perfect indicator of how fortunate you were for the experience in the first place, and to have had her company for the time that you did. That's one of those things in life; early on it keeps giving you new things and experiences, but over time you're forced to deal with the feelings when something, often completely out of our control, takes them away. It's always a hard transition, but I find that grief eventually gives way to that second sentiment of appreciation. And while it's common to feel like a lost partner was The One, that's not true... what you've really learned is that such experiences are possible for you, and while there's still time you should look for them again. Don't forget anything; that's never the point. Let your memories of what's possible motivate you into moving forward. I always hated it when people would make these kind of statements when I was in the midst of grief; it sounds so trite and almost like it's trying to trivialize the loss or the person I missed. But not so. Really it's just an assurance that you've had a wonderful human experience, and it's worth searching for again. You can absolutely recapture that feeling with someone new. But you need to put in some work to get there. That's one of life's great adventures. So you're Columbus and you discovered the Bahamas? Awesome! But now that's behind you, time for another voyage. Cuba and the Americas are waiting. I guess my only practical advice is: time. And to not stop trying with new people. And try not to let the shadow of your old experiences get in the way of appreciating the new ones while they're happening.

First be happy for her, that she is able to move on to the next stage in her life. Yes I'd miss her, but I would feel worse if she was continuing in this lifestyle when she really no longer wants to. Remember the good times and be happy she could retire. RG

Just got back from an hour session with Katrine and have to add my vote for her excellent service. Location is great for me as is in the Plateau area in Gatineau and her appartment is very pleasant, modern and appealing. I had a bit of a problem with the snow because of the latest storm but that is temporary and I got there fairly easily. As others have said, she is a very nice person, laid back and easygoing. She was a bit tired having just finished a 90 minute massage so she asked if I wanted to start by massaging her. Man, would I. I love to massage a beautiful woman , all over. She was relaxed and very responsive. I enjoyed kneading her muscles and caressing her immensely. Her body is toned as she works out a lot and her butt is to die for. No need to mention her other evident attributes as they are in your face.... She has beautiful skin, very soft and delicate. She is a great kisser. Her massaging skills are right up there. All the info is on her site and she is well reviewed. Just a great date. Merci Katrine pour un si beau moment.

Advertising is NOT soliciting! Soliciting involves disturbing someone, interrupting their time, taking their attention to offer them an opportunity for an encounter. It is illegal for me to approach someone else in a public place and invite them to pay me for sex. Soliciting on the streets ostensibly prevents the normal flow of traffic when sex workers approach cars at stop signs and traffic lights or when they accost people walking on the sidewalk. Soliciting in other places, such as a hotel bar or lobby, is when the sex worker approaches a patron of the establishment to offer sexual services for money. Soliciting in print is an entirely different matter. This was settled in the 1980s when police laid a series of charges against a Vancouver newspaper that accepted ads from escorts. The court ruled that advertising was not soliciting because no one forced anyone to read the ads. Reading is voluntary in the way that having to deal with someone who comes up to you on the street is not. Anyone who reads escort ads knows or should know what they're reading and they make their choices accordingly. The internet is publicly accessible but is not a public place. No one is forced to go to my website, read the content or make an active decision about whether they want to meet me. I'm easy to find if someone is looking for me or a woman like me who makes available the things that I offer. In the US, some states and cities have tried to re-define or regulate what happens on the Internet in relation to prostitution but, so far, have failed. It is impossible to prevent users from accessing content outside of a city's or state's boundaries. While an ISP can decide not to carry content from other places, they must also face the dilemma of finding or keeping users who are content to have the access restricted in addition to having their actions called into question in relation to free speech rights. Not everything that's available on the Internet is legal. It is illegal in most jurisdictions to look at pornography involving children, for example. It is legal to look at porn involving adults. The courts have so far ruled that cell phone conversations are private. One cannot ordinarily overhear both sides of a call. In many jurisdictions, it is illegal to use electronic devices to listen to cell conversations just as only the police can tap a land-based telephone line and usually have to get a court order allowing them to invade someone's privacy when they do it. If I meet someone at a hotel, at his invitation or mine, we will not discuss what is going to happen before we enter the private room because such a conversation is illegal. On that principle, it would be extremely foolish for me to make a call on or answer my cell phone if I'm in a public place and then engage in a detailed conversation about what I might offer. Many escorts use polite or indirect language when it comes to describing explicitly what we offer. Many of us may say that we are only offering companionship, not sex, and some of us may imagine that this covers us in the event that someone imagines we are soliciting. Many of us also require visitors to our websites to agree that they may be reading or viewing sexually explicit content before they access it. This is polite, but not necessary. It helps prevent people from clicking through the site by accident or when they're in a place, such as at work or in Starbucks, where viewing that content may be a bad idea. Personally, I'm not worried about soliciting. Making statements about offering my time at a certain rate is simply a way of telling prospective clients what I guarantee to provide, period. I will not guarantee to engage in intimate contact or sexual acts with someone I don't know. I may not feel comfortable with the individual for many reasons. I may not feel up to engaging in certain activities every time I see someone. I may be willing to do something with a trusted client that I will not do with a stranger. All I guarantee is to spend the amount of time promised. Of course, one difference between me and many women a prospective client may date is that the likelihood that I will engage in intimate activity with him in a private place is significantly higher. If he and I have had the opportunity to become fairly well-acquainted, it's virtually certain to happen.

Sweetshay's new profile pic is beyond belief! Except I can vouch for the fact that it's real. :)

$200 of gas. Damn SUV's and their big tanks!

I think morals definitely govern me in this business.. Having an incall puts me in the grey area of the law. And while I know this, being relatively low volume makes me feel safe from the law, since I don't attract unnecessary attention, am discreet, no drugs etc.. I do pay attention to laws, but my decisions and choices in this industry, I base on my own morals or feelings on things. I also believe that others' morals govern us. While I do agree that we need to be discreet, as the law essentially says, I think that alot of what Keeps the legal debates going, is the moral issues that onlookers have with our profession. Its taboo and i think that the combination of those who dont understand the business, and the morals of those persons, also tie in with the laws. As far as governing us, I think it should come down to basic womens (human) rights, and our own decisions, provided we're being and acting safely. At the end of of the day, I need to be happy/comfortable with the choices I've made, the laws don't tend help with that. while I do see the well intent of some laws of us (no car date, public solicitation), I mainly feel our choices should be governed by us, and our personal morals, rather than a few paragraphs written by people with no understanding of what this industry is about

I understand you questioning this but providers are not about to discuss their management of these situations in a public forum as it simply gives a client with this intention insight into how to circumvent our safety measures. I gently suggest you find a good agency, learn the ropes, earn your stripes and if you go indie and still have questions you will be granted access to the private area where our important issues are discussed. This game is sold, not told. Let the people making the money off the phones teach you. It's their job... cat

On the lighter side... Ever been stood up for a date? It's something I think we all hate When you're early and not even late? And you're ready to just penetrate? You called and confirmed You had planned to lose sperm! So to hell with it, go masturbate!

Having to cancel an appointment with short notice because my son decided he could remove his own stitches.

If you're interested in offering this service, then the best promotion is probably to advertise that people with disabilities will be accepted with respect, communication, imagination and passion. As for training and education, I can recommend the book "The Ultimate Guide to Sex and Disability". It's available at online booksellers, and I believe locally at Venus Envy (http://venusenvy.ca/ultimate-guide-sex-and-disability). Venus Envy also regularly runs a sex and disability workshop (http://venusenvy.ca/events/everybodys-doing-it-talking-about-sex-and-disability-2013-03-26), although I have never attended, so can't comment on it. I'm not an expert in disability other than my own (incomplete spinal cord injury), but can tell you that there's a broad range of issues and some challenges to overcome. Mobility disabilities may require out-calls, positioning assistance - sometimes devices, sometimes lifting by yourself or an attendant. Your tantra chair would certainly be one form of assistive device for CPs, paras and quads that transfer themselves. Overcoming these sorts of challenges is where the imagination comes in. As with the able-bodied, things work better when take your time, ask questions about what works for them, and encourage frank communication! :-)

I had the pleasure of spending some time with Lola on Saturday for a massage. She is a classy and sensual lady that can make you feel comfortable immediately. Her big brown eyes will hypnotize you and her smile widens as she sees your reaction to her tender erotic massage. I can't describe how much this gorgeous French/Spanish lady is into pleasing you! Her ad said she would "make you feel like a king as it should be" and I started the session by saying I wanted to be treated like a king like her ad said. Boy did I get the royal treatment! This beauty was a masseuse for 4 years and is testing the waters regarding erotic massage. I booked a 45 min session and after half an hour, I was running to put more money in the meter (sort of speak) to extend the session. Lola has a clientele in Montreal and is currently testing the Ottawa market a few days a week. I'd love to keep this lady all to myself but quite selfishly, I want to see her fill her dance card in Ottawa as while it would be definitely worth the trip to Montreal for a repeat, I would prefer her to be closer. IF you are looking for a beautiful classy lady to give you an awesome massage that is relaxing, this is the girl....I won't even mention the slides other than to say this beauty will have you singing "la,la,la,la....la Lola" for many hours after the massage!

Anyone who decides to see someone who advertises themselves as 16 years old deserves to be caught. Its not like they didn't realize the girl was underage and got caught. She advertised that she was underage and therefore the pedophiles needed to be apprehended. No sympathy here. Sorry, they knew that what they were doing was wrong, but decided to go thru with it and got caught.

Thought this was pretty funny What do you enjoy in a hand job?

Some may think my statement harsh but if you know you are dealing with a 16 yr old you deserve prosecution, thats a child. In my opinion 18 is to young, but thats just me. I know in Canada you are considered an adult at 18 but that is still a teenager, so is 19 . It is alot to expect teens to deal with adults in their 30's,40's, 50's and beyond. Although I realize everyone matures differently I can only think back when I was a teen and I know I wasn't an exception to how immature and unprepared they can be.

All I want right now is for this snow to melt so I can take my motorcycle out for a ride.

is to travel. To belong nowhere. To have freedom. to experiment lust. to live till I can't.

Budda also said, "What you think, you become" (avoid dwelling in negative thoughts, you'll attract negative things and experiences / constant positive thoughts create positive things and experiences) I've told a certain SP here that I'm sickenly positive as part of our getting to know each other. I'll let everyone else know now too ;) Something that I've adopted many years ago is always responding to the question of, "How are you?" with a resounding "Excellent!" Too often peoples typical response is something negative (I'm tired today etc.) or at best "ho-hum". I've found that this simple response usually catches people off guard and causes them to smile. A smile sets a positive tone for the remainder of your interaction. It's really just part of putting, "What you think , you become" into action. Works for me, try it! If it doesnt work, you're doing it wrong! Try again. Chuck

One of my favorite quotes: Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible. -Dalai Lama

It was so nice here today I shoveled out my BBQ, parked my butt in a lawn chair, couple of beers and cooked up some ribs, wings, taters and mushrooms.

Of course not. I was speaking of the guys with the "I'm so cute complex.. I should get deals" Thankfully many mothers (and fathers) teach their sons to be gentlemen... and then they are gentlemen no matter what their age. These are the clients we prefer.
