I, personally, definitely enjoy some saucy dirty talk when the mood is right... both giving and receiving. :) It can be a real turn on with the right person, at the right time. After all, this stimulates the most important erogenous zone, the brain! :) mmmm, Yes, make me your dirty little whore.. please... I have been a very bad girl... Feed me your throbbing hard cock, I neeeed to taste your hot big creamy load of cum! :bj2: In all honesty though, it is only good if it just flows naturally when we are in the right moment, as when it is forced it just sounds silly and awkward, LOL. But I suspect that not all SPs care for it, so ideally, I would suggest just straight out asking if she is okay with it when you are booking the appointment, or just throwing out a feeler during the appointment and see how it is received.

I really like female condoms, Meaghan. They work very well. They may be somewhat more effective at protecting against STDs because the "flange" --the opening--covers a wider area than a regular condom ever could. They're NOT made of latex, so they're terrific if you're sensitive to latex or if the man is. They're lightly lubricated, but you may still want to put a bit of lube inside the condom for the man's comfort and pleasure. You can put lube on the outside, too, if you want to. They're more fiddly than a regular condom, to be sure, and you need to be sure that the penis goes into the condom instead of into your vagina beside it, which can happen if you're not paying attention. That happened to me the first time I used one. Fortunately, I was doing my test run with my boyfriend, so I wasn't worried about anything. Here's a photo of a female condom: The ring on the inside is intended to fit around your cervix and helps to anchor the condom in place inside you. The man shouldn't feel it. You can use them for anal sex, too. Just remove that inner ring and have your partner put the condom on, around his penis, holding the opening against the base of his cock. Put some lube on it that way--on the outside of the condom. When he enters you, the condom is in place. And yes, they're plenty strong enough for anal sex. I have some clients who prefer these to regular condoms. I'm the one who introduced these to them. The men say that it's a LOT more like sex without any barrier, which is an advantage, because nothing fits tightly around the penis. You can insert the condom before your date begins, if you want to. When removing it, I take care to pull it a little way out of my vagina, then give the open end a couple of twists. That prevents the condom from turning inside-out or emptying on me or on the bed. They are significantly more expensive than regular condoms--anywhere from $2.00 to about $6.00 each. You can buy them in some drugstores and in most good-quality sex toy stores that sell condoms. I get mine from a toy store, but sometimes they're available at my local Safeway, and I buy them there. Also, many public health clinics that provide free safer sex supplies provide them.

I am not advocating truth or falsehood within any of these statistics, BUT, just to be clear and so that the statistics are being interpreted properly; all of the statistics from these studies are based on the fact that one partner is actually HIV positive. For example for the high risk activities: For every 1000 times someone who is HIV positive has unprotected vaginal sex with another person, on average they may transmit the disease 1-2 times to their partner. It is NOT saying that for every 1000 unprotected vaginal sex acts, 1-2 people contract HIV. And when someone performs unprotected anal sex on a partner who is HIV positive, there is a 0.06% to 0.16% chance that the person inserting will contract the disease from the HIV positive receiver. The studies assessed the ability and risks of transmission, and concluded that there is a x.xxx% chance of contracting HIV when engaging in those specified unprotected sex acts with a person who is in fact HIV positive. They are not overall blanket stats to say that for every single unprotected sex act that occurs between any two people, there is a x.xx% chance of contracting HIV.

When AIDS was first discovered homosexual men, hemophiliacs (due to infected blood transfusions), intravenous drug users and Haitians (Haiti is where the HIV virus first arrived in North America from Africa) were the four groups affected. Since then the proportion of male and female heterosexuals affected by HIV has increased. "When HIV reporting began in 1985, men who have sex with men (MSM) accounted for over 80% of all cases. Although MSM is still the predominant exposure category, the proportion has decreased significantly over the years. In 2010, 47.6% of all positive adult HIV cases with known exposure category were attributed to MSM. Heterosexual contact, at 30.8% of case reports among adults in 2010, was the second most reported exposure category (13.2% attributed to having sexual contact with someone with no identified risk, 11.0% attributed to having sexual contact with a person at risk, and 6.6% to those of origin from an endemic country)." Source: Public Health Agency of Canada report "At A Glance - HIV and AIDS in Canada: Surveillance Report to December 31,2010" There is far less social stigma attached to identifying as homosexual today than there was in the late seventies and early eighties when AIDS symptoms and HIV were first being discovered. The increase in heterosexual cases is therefore unlikely to be based upon a larger number of people being embarrassed to say they have had sex with other men. It is more likely that more heterosexuals are engaging in the highest risk behaviour for transmission... unprotected anal sex. I'm sure many of the women on this board can attest to the increased interest, requests and curiosity from their clients regarding Greek services. (I realize that no one on CERB would offer bare back anal and I'm not suggesting that.) So regardless of whether you're gay, bi, bi-curious, transgendered, heterosexual or got drunk one night and took a walk on the wild side... the sexual practice of unprotected anal intercourse (being the receiver) is your highest risk for HIV transmisssion. In the early days of AIDS it was possible for heterosexuals to feel complacent, immune or at extremely low risk of contracting HIV. As heterosexual behaviour changes, the risk increases and the number of infections increases.

My Dog: The Paradox View in order from 1-7, or view at the original source here. I love it. :)

Thanks Old Dog for sharing my blog here :) This board looks amazing - I'm really keen to peruse it in more detail. Also I now feel like a bacon sandwich ;) Lara xxx

Men are the only ones who are concerned with the specifications of cum shots. The quantity, the distance, the velocity, the viscosity. Women don't care about these things. And this is coming from a cock loving, self proclaimed blow job and cum expert who offers and loves COF/COB/CIM. While there may we some of us who really enjoy cum shots, we don't generally care about the specifics about them. That is a guy thing. I wrote about a blog post about cum last month. You might be interested in it. :)

Smiles are infectious So I want so send out a BIG smile to everyone in New Brunswick.

Don't care what kind of service you are giving, I will not see a provider who has a beard. Just sayin'.

I remember reading a commentary from a lady who does burlesque. She indicated that being sexy comes from something you feel inside yourself. If you are confident in your body (and we all come in so many different sizes and shapes), enjoy treating yourself to the things that make you feel pretty and amazing, you will present to the world sexiness. We all know that women can dress up as a slut and still not look sexy. However, I have seen so many woman that are dressed conservately and are so hot and sexy I have to close my jaw to stop myself from oogling them. Of course wearing intimate undergarments even with jeans and a tee shirt let ourselves know that we are sexy. The bottom line I have learned is if you are confident in yourself at this moment in your life, you are so damn sexy. xoxo

Honestly, this can work BOTH ways. I know when I'm connected in and feeling good I have a tendency to say a few dirty things although will admit I sometimes try to control them if I haven't received any indication that it's ok to let loose with the verbal descriptions. If you know you have a tendency to be a little (a lot) vocal (and I'm not just talking dirty expletives I'm also talking howling, screaming or other equally surprising things), nothing wrong with mentioning this so that the person can at least be prepared and it doesn't leave them gobsmacked. I would hope that anything uttered in the heat of passion would be more taken as a compliment and maybe even a turn on than something to get upset about.

Cerb is comprised of so many interesting, intelligent people, yet we all have more to learn. So I thought a fun and interesting thread might be for anyone to post a little know fact-or one they think is little known,lol. I'll start- Atlantic salmon aren't necessarily from the atlantic ocean, that is to say -atlantic salmon is a species-their name doesn't denote their location.

Pick a place that you want to work from and book it. You have to e happy and comfortable from your work environment. If clients want to see you they will travel to you. Halifax is not that big and to get anywhere is a short trip unless your by the airport. Privacy, Discretion and YOURS and the CLIENTS safety come before anything. And please don't book a drive up hotel/motel those places are just plain bad news and with having that external door that goes to the parking lot - that just gives me shivers thinking about what could happen.

OMG. Beards are sooo sexy. There is nothing hotter to me than making out with a bearded dude after he's gone down on me. The smell of me in his beard is such a turn-on. The key to keeping them nice and soft is hair conditioner. Get a good one and use it on your beard too.

For those cerbites following my posts they know that I am a rare hobbyist who is after great looks rather than a list of services and very safe (nothing bare) and cautious (outcall only) and love pale skin and love natural kitties, dislike dirty talk/vulgar language......... so I reach the conclusion recently that masseuses are best suited for what I am looking for and here is MY FIRST review of a beautiful delightful masseuse by the name of Justine at CMJ (this was my first ever call to CMJ). Justine was EVERYTHING that I was looking for. CMJ responded to my post asking for those aware of beautiful pale classy masseuses to contact me and they posted in my thread. The Touch of Euphoria is the outcall wing of CMJ as I made it clear that I will not be visiting a SPA and they arranged this outcall date for me. It is great that CMJ unlike others is so flexible on call type and have an outcall wing, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to see their lovely ladies. They suggested two ladies, Justine being one of the two who graciously accepted my invitation to be my guest this afternoon. I hope to see the other (I am sure delightful) lady next weekend. Justine arrived exactly on time. She was smiling and stunning dressed in mini skirts for me. My heart started beating fast when we hugged and kissed. We walked to my unit and we conversed for a while before the session started. Justine has a beautiful soft feminine pale skin, a very model like relatively tall spinner body. A very cute face and dark hair and eyes and a pair of large very sexy firm boobs. I had a heavenly hour with her at my home with a very classy guest. As picky as I am on looks she completely satisfied me with her great looks. She is a masseuse and the session included lots of touching and kissing and she lived up completely with my expectations as per my thread in the massage section on looks, services, class and hygiene. She was also a total emotional GFE and very kind and considerate. A classy lady, university student with beauty, big heart and great mind. If you see her please treat her like a princess that she indeed is!!!. I would like to extend my thanks to Justine for accepting my invitation to be my guest and also CMJ for arranging this date making it a memorable Saturday afternoon.

I ask all my clients what they want, expect in the session. It's my job and desire to please them and have them leave happy and satisfied. As a fan of dirty talk it's never fun if it isn't two ways. Both parties have to be into it, imo. So if it's something you like say so and vice versa.

I think being sexy is a combination of mind, body and spirit. A woman may be attractive, but not drop dead gorgeous, but have an amazing personality filled with confidence and a great sense of humor. She'll ooze sexuality without even realizing it.....something like the lovely Cristy!

Realizing that I have never, ever had a dream about Lee Richards.

You can also just order them online, they comes in a plain brown box and are labelled discreetly (something like "bath products") http://www.condomdepot.com/product/catalog.cfm/nid/225 I know they're preferred by my clients, so much so that they've been mentioned in more than half of my reviews. I don't recall anyone taking the time to mention that I used "Beyond 7's" or "004's" which are some of the best male condoms on the market but when I use a female condom they are almost always mentioned in a positive way.

There certainly is a long history of many comedian's being insecure and for some their humour is driven by that insecurity and some times unhappiness. And they are performers trying to be funny is their job. I think having a sense of humour is different. I find it helps people relax, particularly in this game where feelings of vulnerability is often a bi-product for some participants. For me it helps to see past the facade and perhaps allows an opportunity to see the real people. Peace MG

To me nothing is sexier than being confident enough to be real and a sense of humour... Peace MG

Hincley

I had to give the wishy washy answer of "it depends" because I've seen some hot and sexy beards and I've seen some that could hide a full tribe of pygmies and you could be speared at any moment. I like facial hair that is becoming to the man it is on and that looks like some effort went into it's maintenance. Extra bonus when it is soft and touchable because being the sensory whore I am, I need to touch, fondle and play! Both beards and clean shaven faces have their place in my heart!

Finger pointers. People that always blame others for their misery/ problems. When they themselves are to blame.We all should remember assume-makes an ass out of u and me.

I really like Meaghan.... she had a slow start but has come on like gangbusters in the last few months. Insightful, inquisitive and a super star in the making!!! Kudos!

We don't have snow here in Sydney, but I love my single malts and as winter is approaching I'll be enjoying them more and more :) I love to go walking around my beautiful suburb with a podcast or three - I love them. I can listen to interviews with fascinating people or listen to talks or debates on interesting topics, and I just stop thinking about everything else. I bake - I find this especially therapeutic and I think it's because, as opposed to just cooking, one has to be particularly specific about measurements and timing and techniques, so it forces you to focus on the activity instead of letting your mind run away worry or stress. In summer I love to go to the beach, read in the sun and swim, so wonderfully relaxing... Lara xxx

I've worked in this industry for years. I have worked in agencies. I have also worked as an independent. I know enough about this business, that I have been able to muddle through. However, since I really started participating on this site I have met some really fine ladies and gents that have given me advice, guidance, love, respect, knowledge, courage and passion. I understand myself in ways that those that don't work in the industry could understand, thanks to all the threads I read, people I've met and advice I've taken. There is something more here on this site then meets the eye. Yes, you can find out about ladies, their schedules, their availabilities, their specialities. However, if you look closer, you will see some of the kindest people I have ever known. Thank you to Angela of Ottawa, Nicolette Vaughan, Mya Rain, Malika, Ms. Sophia, Roaming Guy, Lee Richards, Paedrus, Meg for Fun and all the others who stepped forward for me in my times of need. This is a very rare commodity indeed and I am grateful to the very bottom of my heart. xoxo

Before I joined CERB I was an amoeba. No discernible limbs and my cell structure was rather simple. If I wanted a friend, I just split into a second amoeba and we hung out. Since we were from essentially the same genetic material, we were a good match but there was no spice - we just hung out doing amoeba stuff... like skittering across small liquid pools looking for love in all the wrong places. We went to amoeba strip clubs, which were boring, because amoebas have no boobs, bums or genitalia. Pole dancing was more like throwing pudding against a wall and watching it slide down. Exciting at first, but after a while it is really disgusting. We couldn't get lap dances - we had no laps. We were afraid of Champagne rooms, because we really look like champagne bubbles and we were afraid of being consumed. CERB instantly changed me into a multicelled organism. That was day one. On day two I got a penis. I could hardly wait for day three when I got hands and day four when I would discover porn and Kleenex. By day 8 I had mastered keyboard skills. I sent my first PM on day 11 and by day 12, I had befriended MegForFun who had an idea that I was a former amoeba but embraced my new found humanity all the same. I have a feeling that Meg was a former amoeba too... she just got an amoebagina rather than an amoebenis. Her human parts have developed quite nicely, nonetheless. Now I am fully human. Except for my latent amoeba memories... but I thank Amoebus Christ and MOD for allowing me to be the man I am today.

I don't feel huge pressure to bring gifts, but sometimes do with ladies I consider special. I usually bring something to a date ... a bottle of champagne in the afternoon or evening, coffee/tea and pain au chocolate for a morning session. It depends on the circumstances. With one long-time regular we often had sessions over lunch. We had a favourite deli so I would stop and pick up gourmet sandwiches. We'd have lunch in bed. So, occasionally a gift, although I too have sometimes opted for the gift card route. Gifts like jewellry are often very personal, and unless you know the lady well it might be hard to judge what her taste might be. With special ladies, I often try to schedule a visit near Christmas so that I can be Santa Claus.

Well I'm going to add a bit more to this thread. It really hit home for me yesterday how much of a community this really is. Yesterday was my birthday, but family matters took precedence. I had to take my mother down to Kingston for a post op check up so yesterday and today I was in a hospital waiting room...almost as much fun as sitting in the departure lounge at Pearson LOL. I'm not complaining btw. But while in the waiting room I was able to (discretely on my smartphone) check CERB and see the birthday greetings, along with a couple pm's and an email, brightened my day. This board really is more than a board, it is a community and even in a few cases, we are friends. We do more than just look for or advertise encounters here. We acknowledge each other's milestones, be they birthdays, or post counts etc, and offer support to one another. It's just that we all got to know one another because of a common interest and lifestyle. But that isn't all we are about. A quick rambling RG

In my view gifting is fun. It is fun to think of the appropriate gift for a lady, it is fun shopping for it and fun planning how to present it to her. The most fun of course is if she is surprised and likes it! The gift has nothing to do with the donation. Rather, It is just something to do for fun. With that viewpoint I typically buy gifts for ladies I have gotten to know as opposed to a first or or early visit. That makes sense, you can't hope to buy the perfect gift without knowing the lady! I learned that the hard-way. I once bought jewelry on a first date for a lady travelling to our city for the first time. I thought it was great idea because the Jewelry is made in our province so it was meant to be a thank-you for visiting us gift, and a token of our province. However, as soon as I meant her i realized that the color and style of what i bought did not really suit her. Oh well! Since that first date, I have gotten to know the lady very well and have given her a few successful gifts. One thing I have done on a first date with a lady visiting for the first time is to include in the envelope a list of my favorite restaurants and my comments on them, and sites to see in our city. Ladies visiting for the first time appreciate that. Gifts do not have to be expensive. One very successful gift was a calender with the theme of the lady's favorite TV show. Again, you have to know the lady to know her favorite show. I do not buy gifts for every date, only when I have a good idea for a gift. Like anything, common sense prevails. For example on a 5:30PM date I will bring wine. But a 9:30Am date, i do not bring wine. If i think of it, I ask if she would like me to pick up a tea or coffee etc, but i always ask, never assume. I am afraid I do not understand tipping and perhaps i am taking the word to literally. I have said this recently in another post. I never discuss money and the last thing i would ever dream of doing is fumble for extra cash at the end of a date because the service was at some acceptable standard. These ladies are professionals. The services is going to be good or I would not be there. We tip waiters and cabdrivers for service, and we do not tip lawyers, accountants, interior decorators, landscape designers, etc when they do work for us because we know it will meet a professional standard. I do sometimes put a bit extra in the envelope if the lady's suggested donation is less than what I consider market. That is a jester of appreciation as opposed as an amount contingent on some level of service. My, I did tend to ramble on this one....

I like RG because he is truly a kind person who cares about other people. Even those he has never met. He reaches out to help and that is appreciated! Oh, I also like that he has witty and funny things to say! Thanks RG

We are just waiting to see if anyone recommends her and to make sure she has stopped posting fake photos where she advertises. I am fine with giving her a second chance but not if she is just going to revert back.

Downtown because it fits well into my normal routine which is good for both convenience and discretion, but certainly not a show stopper. Hotel for discretion. Which days doesn't matter though appts during the work week would be nice. Glad your are considering it. All the best.

1. Which location/area above would you prefer to visit and why? I chose downtown and central as it is convenient for many. As well there are many more to choose from. I have seen some SP's at The Lord Nelson and The Atlantica for example. They have some nice rooms and are also discrete as you can blend in better. I have traveled to Fairview and Bedford as well. I guess it all depends on how much you are willing to travel to see someone. 2. Do you prefer Hotels over Motels/Inns and why? I prefer Hotels because as I said earlier you can blend in. Just another visitor in town. Many on the front desk don't bother you asking you questions. As well there are no prying eyes while you and who you're seeing like to be discrete. Also Hotels tend to have nicer decor inside and out. lol. 3. Which day(s) of the week do you prefer? Any day is fine with me as I myself have a flexible work schedule.

Thank you Some Guy for the Invitation to join such a much need group! How nice it is to know that I am not the only one completely Addicted to CERB! Hello Everybody, My name is Tiffany XXX000, and I am a CERB-aholic!! My journey into the world of CERB started about 5 months ago when I decided to go on "The Adventure of a Lifetime".... After thinking my decision through I decided to test out the waters of being an MA! It was something that has intrigued me for some time and allows me a safe outlet for my sexuality! As part of my new job/adventure I was introduced to CERB as a marketing tool. At first I was shy, I only posted my Ad when I was working, and checked back to read comments from my photos or respond to PM's..... I did not have a problem..... But one day, I was sitting at work and feeling bored, so I logged into Chat... boy did that change my life! For those of you that go into chat you will know I am like a staple there... if I am at work or at home you can find me in chat! I have met some people that I will be life long friends with, and some that are so fun I get a huge smile when I see them enter into the Chat room!! Now I find if I am close to a computer my phone or ipad I am here, checking out new posts, commenting on threads or in Chat. My average day I spend at least 2 and up to 8 hours on CERB. I would like to thank all of the wonderful people on here for the funny and interesting posts, and the Great people that I have met in chat! You all are special to me! A big thank you for making me feel so welcomed to your community!! Kisses to all TXXX

It really depends on the client. If he doesn't drink, then I don't expect him to bring over a bottle of wine. I don't really expect anything in addition to the date/experience. I list gift cards on my site (Chapters, Starbucks, Victoria Secret) because I like books, coffee, and lingerie! Coffee serves a greater purpose for me in terms of my studying. I do like it when a client brings over a coffee (if he asks) for an AM/afternoon date but if he doesn't drink coffee I don't expect him to make that purchase. I don't necessarily have a "wish list." If a client does insist on bringing over a gift, I refer him to my blog post on gift ideas which include donations to a number of charities I support and it is up to him to make that choice if he prefers. When a client does offer to do little things like bring over a coffee or wine to share (or chocolate--I had chocolate covered strawberries once as a surprise), it is greatly appreciated. It is not, however, expected.

Got a call tonight from a friend/provider that is going through a bit of a personal health dilemma herself - and all we could talk about was seeing about helping a mutual friend that is in a bit of a jam. It's a great feeling to know that sometimes you can let the curve balls that life throws at you just sit on the sidelines when someone else is in need....

One of the things I've noticed is that once you get used to a condom, you don't really notice it anymore. My wife and I have been using condoms for years -- because she got pregnant too often using other methods (1 pregnancy while on the pill, 1 baby with diaphragm, etc.)... apparently we were at the high end of the fertility spectrum. Although its been 13 years since our last accidental pregnancy, we're not taking any chances. So I'm quite used to the rubbers. The thing is I really don't want to come home with some STD and have to try to explain why, or worse give it to her.

I thought the hired guy to change the light bulb on the cn tower got paid an obscene amount of money....? Either way- you couldn't pay me enough. But Hey- it takes a certain kind of person to do ANY job. ;-)

Easter brunch today with my extended, adopted family, nearly all of whom are over the age of 75; one will be 89 in another month. It lifts my heart every time we're all together and I see that they're healthy and well. I'm trying to savor days like this because I know that things could change anytime. It's a pleasure to love and be loved by these strong, courageous and very wise friends.

And here I thought it was "common practice" in a 3sum... I can definitely tell you that it is always one of the highlights of the experience (amongst many other things)! Have fun :) xox EDIT: Congrats on making that first post!

With the Oscar's coming, I could not resist to offer you a ANN HATHAWAY picture. for sure, an unconventional one.
