10 pointsCerb gentlemen are that exactly GENTLEMEN! They know how to treat a lady, they respect us as providers, as friends, as women!!! They are definetely in a different league from the clientele you get from other advertising sites, even thou there is still some gentlemen that have not yet discover CERB, but certainly you guys here are the BEST!
-
8 pointsI totally agree! .I'm fortunate enough to have meet some of them and they are absolutely gentlemen , classy, elegant, very respectfull, very easy going , so down to earth and so much fun. Yes, they know exactly how to treat a lady, naughty and a little wild in a respectfull way. Its funny because the other board calls cerbites ass licker , well knowing what I know now , they can lick my ass anytime lol.. And from my experience, its very hard to resist or not to get turned on naturally when you see such a gentleman like that. Thanks everybody and have a good one!

6 pointsWhile I agree with Emily and Berlin that farts happen, they are only forgivable IF the farter owns it, APOLOGIZES for it, and laughs it off. Then it is up to the fartee to also laugh so the embarrassment can end and the fun can continue. In the cases of Cat and Cunninglingus, the big no no was not the fart itself but the failure to acknowledge the fart and hope nobody notices. If someone's nose is inches from your ass and you fart, they're gonna notice and they deserve an immediate apology. Only then can it but laughed off and forgotten!

6 pointsI'd agree with you, Cristy. Especially for a first meeting, I'm more comfortable if the Lady takes the initiative. The way I see it I can't accidentally go past her boundaries, or initiate an activity or pace she might not prefer. Which isn't to say I want to stand quietly being directed step by step, just that initially any requests I make will tend to be diffidently spoken--suggestions, not orders; and I'm likely to test the waters so to speak with different activities. You can usually then tell from the Lady's reaction if it's something she enjoys or if you need to slow down or try something else. Does a light spank get a happy wiggle and a moan or...quiet. If I lightly grab your hair do you speed up or pull back. I'm more willing to take the lead with a Lady who is open and willing to share feedback about her preferences and what isn't working, what is working, and what is *really* working! I imagine I'd also be more willing to take the lead if it was an SP I'd already seen, and so have a sense of her likes and preferences. Once I feel I know the pacing, moves, and touch she prefers, taking the lead would come more naturally. There's no fear any longer of making a misstep. There is another reason though why I imagine many like it when the SP takes the initiative. It's about feeling desired. When the other person makes the first moves, takes things to another level, asks for more--it makes you feel like they want you and you excite them. It makes you feel sexy. And who, after all, doesn't like the sensation that you turn someone on?

6 pointsYes Summer, the cerb men are the best. I can always tell the difference from what site my callers are calling from. I love learning my guys are cerbites. Learning their handles and finally putting a face to the name. I love it. Cerbites are my guy friends, other sites they are my clients.

5 pointsThe entire concept of the senate really doesn't even make any sense to an average middle class tax paying citizen like me, to be honest. In what kind of real democracy do appointed unelected officials make decisions that affect the entire country? They actually have the power to veto legislation written by democratically elected officials. (i.e. Climate change?!) Several of the chosen senators are actually people who lost federal elections! The electorate says fuck you, we don't want you representing us, and then they are hand picked by the PM to sit in the senate where they undemocratically get to create their own legislation, with a base salary of $132 000/year (Plus $300 000+ in expenses) for 3 days a week of work, 29 weeks a year, up to 75 years of age +pension. The Senate is useless and undemocratic. So useless and undemocratic in fact that Manitoba, Ontario, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec have all abolished their provincial senate. Abolish it. http://abolishthesenate.ca/facts/

4 pointsHi, this is my 3rd year on Cerb, 1st year was mostly lurking and reading the various post and threads and getting to know the SP's/MA's and gentlemen on the board thru their postings. It was almost a year before I took the plunge to meet my 1st SP. She was a kind young woman that gave a great first experience and second experience. I met my second SP in the following year, and she was a great experience and I have seen many times since, and we have become good friends. After that I had my first GFE Massage and it was great which then lead to many more GFE Massages, Now in my third year of hobbying, I have started to meet many more Cerb women and each experience seems to get better and better. I even had my first duo last week :). It was exceptional :) This is a summary of what I've learnt from being on Cerb and my experiences with Cerb women :). What I've learnt from the Cerb Community: - it is a community of caring Men and Women. - it is a source of useful information - is a source of recommended women that have had proven reputations. - it is a place where information can be asked and answered - it is a social community where members have helped each other in need. - it is a place where discussions can be debated. - There are senior members that give good advice to the Newbie's - Also thanks the CERB MOD, he has does a great job, keeping the board running and moderating the members and post. - without the Mod there would be no Cerb. What I have learnt from the Cerb Chat Room: - This is a great place to make friends and meet the other members. - I have spent hours in chat, talking to the men and women of Cerb. - Have met people from around Canada. - I have helped and been helped with other members. - Some night we have a lot of laughs. - Other nights meaningful discussions. What I have learnt from the Cerb Gentlemen: - They are here to help others with information about the industry - They are kind and thoughtful men and know how to show respect to the women of Cerb. - Established gentlemen are proven safe men for the Cerb Women. - Some of them have a great sense of humour. - They have come to the assistance of other members in need. - Without the gentlemen, there would be no Cerb. What I have learnt from Cerb Women: - They are kind and sexy women. - They except people for who they are , regardless of race or colour or size. - All they expect is for them to be clean, smell good and show them with respect. - Please respect their time and limitations. - Arrive on time with the proper donations. - No negotiation of donations. - If you can't make it please call to cancel. - It takes a special woman to be able to do this job. - The women who really enjoy this job and pleasing men give the best service. - Beauty and sexuality is shown from within the person. What I have learnt from myself: - When I started I was a shy man around women. - Now I have more confidence and have no problem being naked with strange women :) - I enjoy spending intimate time with Cerb women. - I enjoy chatting with learning about the real person. - I have become friends with several of the women and keep in contact with them. - Women seem to actually like me for some reason. - As with all meetings, YMMV, But I've learnt to be a gentleman and have in general received better services then I expected :) - Always please the women first, and they will return the favour :) - As I always say, I'm a gentleman and the woman cum first :) Advice to Newbies: - Read the above facts :) - Respect the women. - Be a gentleman. - Women with recommendations are a good choice, but in all cases YMMV. - Participate and become part of the Cerb Community. In closing. I love being on CERB, it has become a daily part of my life. and Thank you to all you women for being sexy, kind, beautiful and emotionally strong to be able to provide the services that you do. I am grateful for the exceptional times that I have spent with Cerb women, they know who they are :). And I hope to have many more great experiences. Gentlemen and women, let's hear what you have learnt from your experiences on Cerb.

4 pointsI'm new to the massage business and already, after only a couple weeks of work, I notice that my sessions vary greatly depending on the client. Of course the basics are all there, I don't cheat anyone out of what they paid for, but depending on the vibe I get from a client the session may change. If a client is immediately aggressive once the session begins, and continues to cross my boundaries even after repeated requests for him to stop, I will be more cautious about where I stand and how I maneuver my body. If a client is very respectful and perhaps a little shy, I may move in a way that will allow him to touch me more easily and feel less intimidated. I don't think any MA or SP should feel guilty about providing different sessions to different clients- we're not robots, clients come in for the human connection, and our decisions in interpersonal relationships are always subjective.

4 pointsGreat topic Cristie. I definitely don't follow the norm either. I can easily transition from the sensual romantic lady to a wild PSE tiger. I also love role playing and there are some bad boys in the world that understand a visit to Lady Katherine is the only way to correct bad habits.:biggrin: So what guest gets what and for how long? As some have mentioned our time is really important and we need to be compensated, agreed. Time, time, time, it is very important. I tend to be generous with it when the situation permits. I have my home in service but I travel extensively as well. At home things are more relaxed and I do tend to go over, I do like to talk and at the same time I don't feel pressured or that anything extra given is presumed. When I am travelling it is a little different. It has to be, as a touring lady I spend a lot getting to destination and our hotels, meals etc really ad up. So for me I need to keep on schedule and that usually means if you are visiting for a certain time frame that is the way I need to keep it. I have never felt judged for this in the least. Its also great to have the opportunity to show your appreciation once in a while by giving more. That is exactly what it is, appreciation, I don't expect anything more from my guest in the way of a tip or a gift. So at the end of the day ( for me ) it always works out as it ought to.

3 pointsI have always loved a good old East Coast Canadian accent. :) So friendly and casual. I love the slang too. Hilarious! East coasters are always so loveable! Never met one I didn't like! :biggrin:
-
3 pointsYou are so right, Emily. The Senate should have been abolished long time ago. They are so useless and are really a joke. Our tax dollars could go to better use than feeding these bunch of political-appointees. What a shame!
-
3 pointsFrankly they should be in jail. It's called fraud. The same people who gripe and bitch about "welfare fraud" and people ripping off the system. At least poor people actually have the excuse that they are POOR!!! These two are inexcusable. Porthos
-
3 pointsThat fact that she didn't acknowledge it may have been embarrassment. People react to embarrassing situations differently. Some will apologize and laugh it off, others will sit in silent mortification hoping you didn't notice. I wouldn't be too hard on her. We are all human and have the same bodily functions. Next time you take a lady to dinner, maybe just skip the Mexican food. ;)

3 pointsGreat line from a Nick Lowe song that applies. "... you've got to be cruel to be kind." Sometimes being subtle doesn't work. Subtle messages don't register when a person doesn't believe that there is a problem. There is no kind way to tell a person that they are malodorous. Nope. But in her own way, Cat tempered her response by NOT identifying the party. She merely alluded to the fact that ONE of the respondents was making an egregious error in suggesting that he did not have an odour problem. If that gentleman can self identify and feel that he was not singled out, all the better. He gets the message, applies the requisite amount of anti perspirant/deodorant and he is good to go. No harm, no foul. No bullying. Deliciously subtle but direct. Cruel? Meh. Kind? Absolutely.
-
3 pointsWas this person specifically mentioned? No. Just suggesting that for those that feel there is nothing wrong with their hygiene is what this thread is all about. If the person sees themselves, and is offended, then they really need to look at this in a realistic light. Are there any steps they are missing in their routine to get ready to see a lady? Are they being honest? Do they really think that if they went up to 10 random people and asked them "be honest, do I stink?" Would they then turn around and say "well, they are wrong, my bo is not that bad" or would they then say, "wow, I didn't realize it was that bad".

2 pointsWhen I see a companion, whether she has a menu or not, all I believe is she is being compensated for her time. What happens during our time together is between consenting adults. Really, boundaries and rules, as long as both the SP and client are respected, and no one is hurt, are unique to each and every encounter. And it is the lady's ability to make each encounter special and unique that makes her professional If you have clients who enjoy their encounters with you Christy, and you are comfortable enough expanding your boundaries you shouldn't worry about whether that is professional or not. A good or great companion is one who makes each and every encounter something special and unique for her clients, and that to me is what makes a companion a professional. A rambling RG

2 pointsI usually anticipate that I will receive exactly what I've paid for. If it's two hours, then I should be leaving fairly close to the two hour mark. I think, with established clients that you trust and have a good relationship with, variations on that are certainly fine and appreciated. I'd probably recommend more hesitation with first time clients. I remember a very special lady, who I was a regular with for many years. We saw each other probably twice a month, usually for 2 or 3 hours. Once, towards the end of the appointment, we were laying in each other arms. I said I should go, and she said "don't worry ... I have nowhere to be and nothing else on". I stayed for another hour of absolute heaven. two weeks later, appointment up, we're in the same position. I say, "I should be going". She kissed me and got up to get dressed while I showered. It was exactly as it should have been. Porthos

2 pointsThank you for visiting my personal profile. My companionship is well-suited for distinguished clientele who prefer confidentiality and privacy. You will find me a rare, special blend of exquisite beauty, integrity, and solid character. I am well-educated, articulate, genuinely kind, and possess a great sense of humor. I am also ultra-sophisticated, extremely feminine and posses a down to earth charm. I believe in treating people with dignity and respect, as this is very important to me. Taking extreme pride in my body and appearance, I am always impeccably groomed and dressed for any occasion. Most of all, I believe beauty comes from within then shines through on the outside. These qualities are paramount to a true exclusive luxury companion. I prefer to spend time with a very selective, mature man who enjoys a woman with an effervescent personality. I don't take anything for granted that life has to offer. :spank: I am a soft-spoken, passionate, and sensual woman who possesses a mixture of incredible sex appeal combined with a charismatic personality. I strive to put you at ease in any situation and this will be evident when you meet me. I enjoy intellectual conversation and laughter. If you are an affluent, distinguished gentleman who prefers a lady with a great attitude and demeanor, and who also enjoys quality over quantity, then I am for you. I like to kiss slowly, forgive quickly, laugh easily, and enjoy every moment to it's fullest. I have a very warm and caring personality that will make you feel like we've known each other for years. I have a college education and can appreciate intelligent conversation. I believe that intelligence, humor, wit, self-confidence (somewhat humbly so), resilience, strength of character, and a willingness to learn are incredibly important qualities to have and share so I tend to gravitate toward those who possess them as well. I would like to think that I'm the kind of woman who can awaken passion and stimulate the imagination. And I can only hope that others enjoy my company, as much as I will appreciate theirs. HERE UNTIL 9PM

2 pointsI found out yesterday that you are allowed to bring small pets to Mexico on vacation!! They are even allowed in the cabin on the plane! This is very exciting, as I have been hesitant to go on vacation for several years now because I didn't want to leave my dog with a sitter. Mommy & Milo Mexican vacation next winter!!! Yay!!! He will be the happiest dog alive in that hot Mexican sun. It will also be a good way for him to get in touch with his chihuahua heritage. bah ha ha... Can't wait! :D

2 pointsFrench and Aussie are my fav's and 69 ...... I love it but this accent is kinda garbled and has a hint of the mumbles or marbles in the mouth sorta thing when you try to talk to each other ;) hehe
-
2 pointsBasically, the more I see her, the more I'd be comfortable taking control. I'm completely fine with her leading the way in the beginning.
-
2 pointsThis is due to some of the backend systems I have been working on and a repair to one of the database tables I had to do. As the site grows these little bugs appear and I am doing me best to try to fix them as they appear. Is everyone's UserCP and Subscribed threads ok now?
-
2 pointsInteresting, I would have never thought of that. As I always thought it were just women who had the need to be desired, I still have a lot to learn, it seems:) But I can certainly relate as this is why I like the man to lead, that and the fact that I find a strong, dominant man sexy:)
-
2 pointsIn my first and second encounters with a lady, I let the lady lead. You may not know her boundaries well enough to initiate. It's not so much about me giving up control as it is a question is the lady willing to give up her control to someone she doesn't know A rambling RG

2 pointsAwww :) Nice of you to care for him. Those little guys can be so delicate indeed. Not sure where you are right now, but if you are in Ottawa, there is an amazing bird sanctuary here that specializes in rehabilitation and will get him all fixed up and as good as new. :) http://www.wildbirdcarecentre.org They are open during the day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to drop off injured birds.
-
2 pointsMy cat just brought me a present... a little injured bird and I'm not sure if he has an injured wing or leg :( I put him into a box on top of a comfy blanket for now and gave him a small bowl of water (not deep so he doesn't drown) and I guess I'll have to take him to a vet tomorrow. I have no idea how to take care of him and I wouldn't want to hurt him by trying to help him either... He's so small and delicate! Poor little birdy, I hope he gets better...

2 pointsI use secret ;) "Strong enough for a man, made for a woman" !! Seriously ! Laugh away fellas ... It is good shit !! Ha Hmmm ?? ... maybe that is why the bi-sexual ladies jump me so fast ?? ;) and that was a big joke cause I have never been jumped................. Anyhooooo.....Impeccable doesn't apply to me Lee for sure....but I do my best to be clean, I tend to overdo it on the showers probably, groomed, trimmed as good as I can be (hairy fella here aka Austin) and I use deodorant !! I don't wanna text a lady that I want to set something up with.....I have spent time with and want to see again and again and have a very polite decline.....that really means ... "No you stink "

2 pointsI'd say I'm fairly comfortable, especially online, either on the forum or private message. I like having some time to phrase my thoughts and try to find a nice turn of phrase (not that I always succeed mind you...and it doesn't explain all my typos!) I'm also comfortable in person, and quite like the conversation aspect of a encounter. As for a social, I like the idea of it and suspect it would be a blast, but like CdnTraveller I don't think I'd attend one in Halifax. I love my city and province, but it's not quite big enough to offer the anonymity I'd prefer heading in and out. Now, where I am quite nervous is on the phone! Face to face I can usually string a decent sentence together (though admittedly sometimes I have to wait for my jaw to come back off the floor--there are some very beautiful ladies in our midst!) but for some reason I never feel like I quite know what to say when I make a phone call. I usually prefer to chat as much over private message as possible, so that there's less that needs to be discussed over the phone before the in person conversation can start.
-
2 pointsWhat Cato said goes for me as well. Additionally, I think seeing the ladies, some of who I may have seen previously, interacting with other men would shatter some of the girlfriend fantasy. Intellectually, I understand the women I see also see other men. But I fear when confronted with visual confirmation my ability to suspend disbelief would be compromised. You should know this has nothing to do with jealousy. This is more about sharing something unique and intimate with a provider and not wanting the uniqueness tarnished. Additional Comments: As far as my comfort level on the board, at first I was shy; essentially a lurker. But after reading many informative, funny and erotic posts, I started to test the waters. The warm reception from the board members encouraged me. Now I feel very comfortable sharing thoughts and observations with this community.

1 pointFor me its any accent really I think they are all sexy in their own way but if I had to pick one it would be Spanish. Those people are so sexy, their dark features and olive skin then the accent, my oh my!

1 pointIt's not about "keeping secrets". There's no problem discussing Broadway's, Nevada Relaxations, Moonlight, Osborne Health Centre or EB/TO - these places are well known to provide happy endings, and more in the case of the first four. However, a lot of the providers on this list operate out of their private residences or "legit" massage studios. They could potentially have LE or employer problems if the word gets spread too much. We have to be careful who we share info with. That's where post count and quality come in. Public posts are the only means we have to evaluate potential members of this group. It's certainly not 100 percent reliable, but it's all we have. Since you've only posted twice in almost a year as a member, and one was the complaint you just made, we have no idea if you can be trusted. That's all there is to it. Establish credibility by providing reliable info and I'm sure you'll be accepted.
-
1 pointI think there are many MAs/MPs who can provide you with the experience you are looking for, all you have to do is ask :) If the girl offers a number where you can text her, or an email address, or has an account on cerb, you can discuss your requirements in writing without feeling shy. If you are too timid to go into specifics, perhaps you can refer the girl to a scene in a movie, or some other example of what you'd like. We're here to provide you with a pleasurable experience, we want you to be able to live out your fantasy! However, not all clients are the same, so we cannot cater to your specific needs unless you express them. I think what you wrote in your post gives one a pretty good idea of what you are looking for, so if you reply to a girl on cerb, or in an advertisement, just include what you've already said here. I'm sure there will be many MAs/MPs who will be glad to see you :) Good luck! Hope you have a great time at your session!

1 pointhonestly i this that the ability of an sp to be able to go over her time or do what she feels is right is the greatest part and privilege of being an escort and not just a SW, i know there are expectations with each meeting but when i go to meet a SP i am just paying for the time and to meet with them, and truly each moment is different and unique to that time, i am not one and would never take advantage of an SP's kindness but if is were to say to me i like talking to you and do not have any other clients coming would you talk for a little longer i would love to. and it is something that i would never expect the next time i saw her, nor would i tell anyone that i was given something extra or more time as this was between us. I know there are people who do not think the same way i do and some who would do things to spoil an SP wanting to be in the moment and i feel sorry for any SP who has not been able or feel like they cannot do something because they do not want to be taken advantage of by others or by the same client.
-
1 pointOk, I'm gonna be blunt (big surprise!) Guess what? You stink. You may think you don't stink, or that I can't smell it, but you reek. There's no polite way about it. We all need deoderant/antiperspirant/WHATEVER, so for the love of god, do something. Maybe no one told you because they didn't want to hurt your feelings, or embarrass you. I know I don't usually say anything--but I won't see you again either. So just trust me on this one--you smell.
-
1 pointAs someone who used to be shy, being an SP has brought me out of my shell. I have participated in organizing 2 or 3 socials before and has made me more outgoing. By nature, I'm an introverted person and tend to keep to myself a lot and keep my social circle at a minimum. I find I'm better one on one but at this time, I find myself comfortable interacting online and in person at a social should the opportunity present itself again. My job as an SP has brought out the good things in my personality that people should see so I have no regrets there!
-
1 pointJust my personal advice is to always ask the person you are thinking of spending time with for their own definition. Some times the person you you meet up with isn't the person who you have been pre-communicating with. Sometimes that information isn't the same between the provider and agency. I find asking ahead of time helps prevent awkward times during the encounter that would kill the whole moment. As helpful as definitions are... everyone has their own, either Provider or Client.
-
1 pointMay I ask why you didn't simply request a bit more light for your session if you found her room to dark. Had you had the rate prepared for her as most others usually do, there should have been no issue with her receiving what you claim was a good rate for her hh service. Admitting you gave her 15 instead of 40 and using the lighting of her room as your excuse is in very poor taste. How do you think it made her feel to be short changed by a stranger she just offered intimacy to? I'm not saying it is right to be contacted by someone other than her, especially a male, but to jump to conclusions that it was a pimp and not simply her boyfriend is also rather rude. She was probably very upset she got duped out of a portion of her rate after providing you with her body on a intimate level. There is nothing worse than the feeling of having thought you were offering services to a gentlemen who winds up showing a total lack of respect to a woman after she has been intimate with you. I understand she should have counted her rate, but the way you have written your post feels like you are blaming her for her not getting paid in full. Several things happened here that could have been easily avoided. You could have had the rate for the time you had requested counted and placed in an envelope for her to receive upon your arrival to her incall. She then could have quickly double checked it while you washed up for your encounter. At which time you could have easily asked for more light for your session with her. Despite the bf/pimp claim, nobody else so far has stated any similar experience likely because they did not short change her on her rate. Now on top of shorting her rate, you have chosen to post this, which could now cost her more than you care to appreciate! All that for accepting your request for an intimate rendezvous. Doesn't sound very fair to me. She should have received what she quoted her rate as, upon your arrival and before you received her services. I find it disturbing that so many ladies are being claimed pimped. This is Winnipeg after all. Don't assume we wouldn't have security measures in place for our safety. You aren't the first or the last client to short a sp. By posting this you are inviting the possibly that others may now attempt to do the same. I feel very sorry for this provider and can imagine the regret she is feeling in regards to your encounter. I think the way you chose to post this was in very poor taste. I do realize my opinion is will not be that well received by some, so be it. It is not my intention to offend but shed a little light to the damage something like this is going to cost this provider in the long run. After all this is how she is supporting herself. Imagine if you will, having your income and job affected by a half hour incall with a provider.
