My two cents... - I don't think haggling an SP is respectful or acceptable - I do understand that some SP's are more than happy to negotiate their rates/services, and that is completely fine. Each person is going to act according to their own values and comfort. If an SP has clearly stated that she is open to suggestions, then by all means take her up on the offer! However, after looking at many a website, I have noticed that an overwhelming number of them have CLEARLY stated that their rates are NEVER up for negotiation whatsoever, and the numbers based on meaghanmcleod's tallies speak for themselves (thanks for putting that together, by the way!) I understand that many people (specifically hobbyists) have mentioned that negotiation is a regular part of doing business, independent contractors especially. While I agree that it is a part of business, we are not talking about some intangible object or a 'regular' service based business. We are talking about a woman's body, mind and well-being here. Many of you hobbyists have no idea what being on the SP-side of this business is like; what kind of personal, mental and emotional tolls it can take. Yes a 'normal' job can cause distress and each have their own specific consequences, but sharing your body and your Self with your clients is a whole different ballgame. I don't mean to speak for *everyone* or speak in terms of absolutes here, either. Regardless of whether a woman has a solid self-esteem and sense of worth there are still many issues we have to deal with that a hobbyist does not. And while there are certain issues that the client deals with on their side of things (I'm definitely not saying you guys don't have to deal with risks or emotional issues of your own), I think you need to take into account that whatever issues you deal with as the client, ours are magnified a hundred times over. Our rates reflect (not necessarily all of these, but many) - Bodily maintenance like buying expensive lingerie, clothing, makeup as well as things like getting waxed, laser hair treatments, nails done, etc so we can look and feel our best for you... all of which are expensive and/or painful; Also frequent testing and risks of UTI's, yeast infections, etc from unhygienic clients or use of toys, all of which cost money and can be very painful and uncomfortable; - Costs to rent out/provide a space for you to come and enjoy us; - Touring costs; - Transportation costs; - Taking time off so we can heal, get our minds right, not be an object/living blow up doll for a while; **I'm not saying we all feel like this, or feel it all the time - but personally, there have definitely been moments** - Dealing with a hobbyists ignorant/mindless comments from time to time (I'd like to point out that the vast majority of you gentleman are great, respectful and a pleasure to work with, but the occasional asshat does appear and can make us feel dirty, ashamed or even scared for our lives) - The risk of being hurt physically, or even extreme cases where the woman is killed or sold. Honestly, how likely is it that an SP is going to have some kind of psychotic episode and physically hurt you? How many times have you heard of that happening? Yet how many thousands of women have died, been sold, been stalked, harassed, hurt or been in any kind of pain because of a client? - We take a huge risk in our personal lives for being stigmatised, called out, exposed, losing friendships/relationships and even family members; especially us providers that show our faces in our pictures. And I would also like to point out, for the people who are going to jump in and say "Well if she struggles with issues, she shouldn't be doing this job!!!" -- Okay, yes. There are people who aren't mentally/emotionally equipped for this job. And when the cons start outweighing the pros, that's when she should either take a break or retire. However - there are many women who are most definitely able to do this who have moments where they want to quit because we deal with a LOT. ALL the time. Regardless of whether a woman is able to handle this job or not, please recognize that we have a LOT more to deal with than the average person. Not to sound high-and-mighty or anything, but we do! So no... I don't think you should negotiate a woman's rates. Ever. If you think a rate is too high, find someone who offers their services for a lower rate. End of story. We take too many risks to be lowballed or haggled with by an opportunistic person who doesn't take into account all the things we go through and worry about so that we can be here doing what we do. Sorry if I sounded harsh, accusatory, or like a total whiner! I am not trying to come off as defensive or angry here; I just personally find it extremely insulting when people make comments about my rates as if I don't provide a great experience that isn't "worth" what I ask for it, or make me feel like they are doing me a favor by paying my asked price. Please!

:) hehe

- Your right (or left) hand: you had it since you were born. Spit in it and jerk off. It's always free.

I'm kind of late into this debate but here's the way I look at it. When I book an appointment with my Doctor, Lawyer or Dentist the fees are non-negotiable...none of you would ever dream of asking those worthy folks for a discount because you know it's just not going to happen. You also respect them too much to suggest such an arrangement. I agree that there are sometimes promotional considerations...specials offered for loyalty visiting or CERB gents or "time of the month" specials but those are offered by the SP of her own volition and not under the pressure of negotiation.They are business choices made freely and openly. I've had conversations with SPs who tell me that they get calls from guys who start by saying something like "I'd really like to book with you but you're too expensive..." for most of them that's the end of the conversation. It shows that the caller is in fact calling the wrong person..."Sorry wrong number!" is what one of my ATFs used to say just before abruptly ending the conversation. As the Mod stated...find a lady you like in line with your budget and go and enjoy....if you don't then you don't repeat and you look again. It's really just that simple.

Negotiating is one of my professional areas of expertise (large construction and/or service contracts, sponsorships, labour contracts etc.). Most (not all) of what is being described and discussed in this thread is better characterized as haggling or asking for a price discount, not true negotiation. Negotiation involves an exchange of interests, building a relationship for the future and multiple variables that can be grouped in different ways to create value for both parties. Sp services would be akin to personal/consulting services contracts. In these service contracts hourly rates are not negotiated. What is negotiated is how much time, effort and quality is expected in the service provided or product delivered. Even then, there is a service threshold below which a company will not go just to obtain revenue. This is because the quality of service will be below their standards and will affect their reputation and future business. With the exception of a Sugar Daddy arrangement, there doesn't seem to be much room for an sp to negotiate the quality and quantity of service while maintaining their service standards and hourly fee. Here are a few examples of discount, haggling and negotiating. Price Discount A price discount usually involves a percentage or flat fee discount off the usual price in an attempt to increase volume (e.g. summer specials, early bird discount). The seller sets the discount rate, announces its terms and the length of time it's available. Some sp's advertise these discounts. Others may provide price discounts if they have received a retainer (cash in advance) for multiple sessions. The client doesn't "negotiate" you pay the advertised special rate. Haggling Haggling works for sellers when there is no posted price or the posted price is higher than what they normally accept. The seller tries to get the maximum amount of money from each client. (Think Moroccan market). The client asks the price or offers an amount. The seller responds with a price which is higher than they were offered and is in fact higher than what they usually accept. Back and forth for a while. An unsophisticated client will pay more than others. So gentlemen, be careful what you ask for! In addition in an Internet age the various prices will get around and damage the sp's business. Some men will be upset they paid more than others, while others will now only pay the lowest price they've seen quoted by other clients. Haggling works for a purchaser when the price is fixed but there are overhead costs (e.g delivery, installation etc) which are built into the business and the seller has some flexibility to "negotiate " those costs. While sp's have overhead costs, there aren't a whole lot of flexible costs that they can discount, without it coming directly out of their purse. I suppose if you wanted to try their make up on, they might indulge that for no extra charge lol. But don't touch their shoes or stockings lol Forbes magazine describes haggling as short-sighted "Which is emotionally charged, combative... that leads to low-quality solutions and results in lose-lose outcomes." Negotiation Here's an example of defining the terms of a Sugar Daddy relationship which involves true negotiation, but which I don't believe can apply to a 30 minute to multi-hour appointment with an sp. A client approaches an sp about formalizing a Sugar Daddy relationship. They discuss whether it will be an exclusive relationship, the net income the sp expects to make, the frequency and type of services which will be provided. How much payment will be cash and how much will be Value in Kind (e.g. housing, grooming, clothes, travel etc). How much cash income does the sp need (car payments, tuition, entertainment etc.) Let's take one element, housing. Maybe the Sugar Daddy offers a high end condo that he owns to offset some of his cash fees to the sp. Maybe the sp doesn't want to move. Maybe if she moves, she wants a lease to guarantee a one year occupancy and 2 months notice in case the relationship doesn't work out. Maybe the Suggar Daddy wants to assign a $3000/month market value to the condo as part of his cash and Value in Kind offer. The sp responds that even if it's worth $3000, since she's only paying $1000 a month rent now, she can't afford to lose an additional $2000 income just to live in greater luxury. My point is that there's a complexity to "negotiations". There are lots of variables in play. Each party describes their interests, but they also try to understand the other party's interests and satisfy them. They also want to build a long term relationship with a win/win solution. Asking for a discount on a one hour session or offering the $200 bucks you've got is not negotiation. Personally Personally, although I'm very comfortable negotiating, I don't try to negotiate, haggle or ask for a discount from service providers. I understand, accept and appreciate that the service providers I see, and most of those posting in this thread, operate on a fixed price model which is common for most goods and services in North America. Just accept and respect that. On a lighter note... If you've made it this far. When I typed "Maybe the Sugar Daddy offers a high end condo" autocorrect changed "condo" to "condom" lol

count me in as well. these events are always a great chance to meet some of the fine ladies (and gents), and have a few drinks along with it!!! misterT... I will be getting in contact with you soon to reserve my spot!! cant wait

Put me in as a potential

Everyone in porn does AIM testing, which is a special kind of testing that can detect HIV within 14 days of infection (regular testing can take up 6 months to show HIV) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_Industry_Medical_Health_Care_Foundation Your test results contain either your passport or driver's license number as indentification, so that way when you're on set no one can use false papers that say they are clean. I had to go to Detroit to get mine done (was living in Windsor at the time), it was always very pricey (about 300$ a hit). Then they gave me my special papers to use on set. So in porn, it's much safer and I'm willing to to uncovered services as I know my partner is clean, whereas with escorting I'm a total safe GFE, as there is no way of knowing my partner status, and i'm not going to take chance. With porn, you also get a say in your partner, so you can pick someone you're attracted to. With escorting, the gent picks you, so you never know who you are going to see :) It's alot of work and usually is many takes before you get the shot. I always laugh when i watch porn as i can tell when she's into it and when she's like "omg get the shot already i had enough" or " im really not feeling it but i need get paid so OH OH OH" Porn is fun lol but another world completely................

great! as long as those getting acquainted with other people's views are actually LISTENING to their views ;) thats never a bad things either....regards

Most of this has already been debunked. I found a post in a other thread a while back that I'm going to copy. "Interesting. - I had a barber for 10 years, and although the rates increased over the years, they didn't for me, and I kept my regular every 2 week appointment. - I have an accountant, and because of the money spent on corporate accounting, my personal taxes are free and I regularly receive discounts on the hours charged. - Doctor visits are covered, but a health plan gives people discounts/free prescriptions, that not everyone receives. - Dentists, if you don't have a health plan, and their charging you the full rate, switch dentists. They only charge the full rate to get the full plan pay. If your plan pays less then the full amount, often you can negotiate with a dentist to accept what the plan pays. - lawyers. Put one on retainer (meaning you guarantee them a sum of income to be available for your needs) and you'll get great service from them, and very likely at a lower rate than any joe of the street, and you'll have access to them whenever you need, unlike a joe off of the street. - I'll add bankers also. Once you have a personal banker, you'll never line up for a service. You don't even pay them. Your portfolio is just that important."

It seems to me that the newbies only want us to give to them without them giving anything in return. They don't even want to read what has already been posted but just start off with their childish cries of "someone PM me with all the information I'm too lazy to read about myself" When they don't get the information they then cry " I am special and entitled so now I am going to have a childish rant until someone gives me what I am demanding." How about trying this for once you FNGs. Read the forum, call someone well regarded. Post a recommendation on one of our favourite ladies out there. Then make a couple thoughtful comments on what is available and the scene. Show some respect for those of us who have invested a lot of time and money learning our way around the Winnipeg scene and to have established relationships with the wonderful ladies out there, several of whom are regulars here as well. Then ask some questions. Send us PM's asking a question not just a general PM me with the information. There are several new guys who followed this path and are now respected members of this board and get to share in the information that is available. ( I know because that is what I did. I have also helped others who followed this path to become trusted members of the site.) Get it ....share... not ...demand that we spoon feed you... then cry when we don't.

I'm sorry but I just have to say this what is so different between this guy and you guys?? because he got caught?? he didn't deny it he was open about it he admitted he did something wrong now would you do that in the same situation I don't get it just because he's a public figure? I understand he was out of his territory and he didn't know the laws and what not but it's no different than anybody else he just he got caught.... we should be so lucky that entrapment is illegal in Canada otherwise we would hear about this everyday lol I just don't like when somebody says that this guy had a lack of respect for his wife and kids because he didn't he was just doing what other guys do everyday so for you to turn around and say that he had a lack of respect for his wife and kids is like saying that so do you...

The SO and I completed our Emergency First Aid and CPR + C training course today. Now if one of us has a cardiac event, we won't need to rely on 911 getting out to the country within the golden 9 minute rule. Country residents have been known to die while waiting for emergency assistance. That and the fact that I couldn't live with the knowledge of my wife dying before my eyes and I did nothing to save her. At least now I've taken steps to preserve her life, and she mine. To me, that is more meaningful than Roses and a hundred Valentines cards.

I'm in for sure :)

Having recently returned from a business trip to Ottawa, I am pleased to say that the culmination of the three dalliances I had there with the lovely ladies of CERB was two hours of passion with Victoria. She was my first erotic GFE MA experience and I can't recommend or thank her enough for an absolutely fantastic time. As my CERB handle indicates, I am an oral person. It is my favorite thing to do and to have done to me, but because those options were not open to me as part of a massage session, I had my doubts about it. Man, was I stupid! For anyone who hasn't had an erotic massage, but who has been with an SP, let me tell you something that will explain it all. They are akin to chocolate and vanilla ice cream. While the flavors are very different, they are both delicious and completely satisfying in every way! If you're smart enough to see Victoria, trust me when I say that you will be completely satisfied. :cool: After booking my appointment with Victoria far in advance, we exchanged several PMs which greatly built up my anticipation. When I arrived at her location and gave her the envelope, we proceeded to the shower which was both delightful and stimulating. :boobies: When we returned to the candlelit room with soft music playing, Victoria began slowly working her magic on me. After 4 days at a business conference, I totally needed a fantastic massage and she delivered the best I've ever had. :D Sliding herself all over my back, rubbing her amazing nipples against me and breathing passionately into my ears, I could not believe how aroused I became even before she told me to flip over. Once that happened ... well, things got really intense. :boobeyes: Although I was enjoying every touch and stroke, because we had two hours together, I wanted to return the favor as best I could. So we switched places and I massaged her as best I could with my limited skills, which her whimpers and gasps indicated that she enjoyed. :motion: Once again, I laid down on the table and Victoria began to bring me closer and closer to nirvana. When she began playing around with an area that I have always considered to be "exit only", and cutely asked if I was OK with it, I was feeling so good that I encouraged her to continue. What followed was my first PM and it drove me absolutely over the point of no return. My legs shook, my muscles spasmed, and I gave in to one of the most intense hand-induced orgasms I've ever had. I don't think I've experienced anything like that before, but now feel that I should try it again just to be sure that I liked it. ;-) After she toweled me off, we finished our time together with an excellent conversation, some light kissing, and another really enjoyable shower. I kissed her goodbye when she walked me to the door and I left feeling so relaxed that I wasn't sure it was safe to drive back to my hotel. Do yourself a favor ... book some time with Victoria and experience her passion, touch, charm, sexuality, deep kissing, and beautiful body. :D

Once in a while you come to realize that so many of our members really don't "get" the whole hobby experience, or rather, they understand that there are rules but believe they are somehow exempt. So let's help them. Let's give some handy tips to make this a more wonderful experience for all. This is a pleasant place so let's keep it constructive... and be aware that the rules shouldn't just be for clients, you can also add some helpful tips that may help a new provider too! Here goes: 1. Appointment time is at 2:00 pm, what time do I arrive? Ummmmm. Hmmmmm. What part of 2:00 pm is ambiguous? A 2 o'clock appointment means you are at her door at 2. Not 1:55, not 2:10. It's seems petty but when you screw up her schedule, you may be screwing up MY schedule. I may be the appointment at 3. I have things to do... and my schedule may not be as loosey goosey as yours. I may be using a very small window of time or I may have "commitments" that see me arriving like clockwork elsewhere. Regardless, when the little hand is at 2 and the big hand is at 12, be where you are supposed to be. 2. "I am awesomely wicked good in bed, and I often masturbate to pictures of myself nude, because I am that good looking. Can we negotiate a better rate?" In a word, No. Would you go to a restaurant and say, "I am a really good eater, can I get a better price on that steak?" Would you go to a lawyer and say, "I am an awesome criminal, can you represent me for free?" Would you go to the dentist and say, "My teeth are so bad that you should fix them all for $50!" A service provider gets paid at a set rate because she is a professional. She is good... no, not just good... wickedly awesome good, at what she does. Your part is the compensation, her part is the wicked awesome part. Pay the pretty lady and be happy. 3. Cleanliness is next to godliness. Ever step into an elevator and stand next to someone who smells like they have never met a bar of soap they liked? Ever met someone that looked like they were an extra in the Walking Dead? Have you ever gone into a bathroom after someone and wondered if they ate something dead? Step one. Go to the potty. Do your business. Wipe. Wipe again. Wipe again. and then, wipe again. Do the optical test. Last wipe. Is there any residue? If yes, start over. If no, then proceed to step two. Step Two. Shower. Clean EVERYWHERE. Rinse. Repeat. Did you pay attention to anywhere in particular??? Hmmm??? Go back to those places. Make em sparkle. (at this point I do suggest that artificial glitter is NOT necessary.) Get out of the shower. Towel dry (for pete's sake use a clean towel!)... apply a generous amount of deodorant/anti-perspirant. Brush your teeth. (if additional grooming is required, please do that too.) Step three. Clothing. Go to the place where you keep your clean clothes. No. Not the place where you put the stuff that you THINK you can wear again. The CLEAN clothes. You know that stuff that you just took from the dryer and folded nicely?? That's the stuff. Wear that shit. Uh oh... what if I have to do step one again?? Then repeat ALL the steps. Cuz skidmarks are not sexy. Febreeze showers are not acceptable. 4. I have to cancel, what do I do? Give your head a smack. With a hammer. Stop. Now take a pointy thing and stick it with great force into your upper thigh, avoiding the artery. Now, go to your car. Start it. Open the door, put your foot beneath a tire and have someone put that car in reverse. Cancellations? NOT COOL. We all know that shit happens. A death in the family. A sick kid. Decapitation with farm machinery. Thermonuclear war. Explosion of your planet from a death star ray. That shit is acceptable.... but you still owe the pretty lady an explanation AND a cancellation fee. When you cancel, providers don't eat. When providers don't eat they get distended bellies and look like kids from the CARE commercials. When you cancel, providers give not only you, but also your city, a bad reputation. This makes you masturbate more. Because you will never get laid again. Ever. You will over develop muscles in only one arm. Your clothes will fit poorly. People will figure it out and suspect you are the notorious masturbating king of cancellations. They will hunt you down and kill your family. Let's keep little Bobby and Joanie safe. If you make an appointment, keep that appointment. Your family will love you for it. 5. "I'm a little short on cash. Do you think she will notice if the envelope is a bit short?" In a word, yes. She will also point out that your penis is a bit short.... and that your skill level is a bit short... and that you cry like a bitch when you have your pathetic little man-gasm. Do you want that??? Do YOU WANT THAT, bitch??? Wow. That was a bit over-emphatic. Gonna step away from the computer and take a valium. BACK!!!! Where were we... yes. Shorting your provider. Not COOL. Remember, providers have special powers. They communicate telepathically. As soon as you walk out that door, she will know and so will all of her allies in the super friends. They will combine their superpowers and make sure that you never get wood again.... and if you do, it will be at inappropriate times... like at funerals or family gatherings or when talking to your grandfather or something like that. Seriously?? Give your head a shake. If you are short then GET the money and make sure you have it set aside BEFORE you book. You will have a wickedly awesome good time... just pay the pretty lady what you agreed to and enjoy! 6. Can I pay her in drugs? Hmmmm. Does your banker take drugs in lieu of money? Have you offered Rogers drugs in return for their cable/home phone/cell phone/internet bundle? When you get groceries at Loblaws, do they have a special drawer that says "financial equivalent in drugs?" You know the answer. "No, you addled-pated simpleton." Remember the distended belly part from above? Providers take cash because cash buys groceries, pays bills and looks pretty. Carrying cash will not get you arrested. Using cash is the engine that runs our capitalist society. "All you need is cash, cash is all you need." The Beatles sang that, I think. Your turn....

I know many members here do not use the chat feature. As one of the members who does I have witnessed a few things that IMO shouldn't be happening there and that probably have caused some of the members not using it anymore. Please when you read this keep in mind is not a rant or me trying to tell others what to do is more like a reminder to all of us and giving my point of view as well as suggesting things that may make a difference in the chat room. 1. Start and carry conversation politely. 2. Whisper or use private chat for specific questions, to book, etc. 3. This apply for sp's and hobbysts ... If you do not get what you were looking for from the person you are chatting with the ideal would be to have the courtesy to notify the other instead of just closing the window/leaving chat. 4. Guys I know you like to discuss about some of the ladies but what about trying to keep specific details private and perhaps whisper? Keep in mind whisper sometimes fails, I have been a victim of that a couple of times (ok more than that lol) 5. No arguing or trying to put someone in evidence in open chat or getting other users involved in a particular situation. Again, this is not me trying to list rules, just suggestions to keep chat a cool place to get to know other members :-)

After chatting with Betty on the PK Webcam, I decided to pay her a visit.... I would normally say that I like the ladies with a bit of thickness, but I am also a huge variety guy too. So, she is in your spinner class, not sure if she is 5'5", she may be less than that, but she is definitely a spinner, slender frame, small titties. I knew that before arriving, so this was not a surprise at all. Of yes, she isn't quite clean shaven, but pretty close. Betty greeted me at the door (for those that don't know, PK has a downtown condo, which the ladies share) and took me to the bedroom. We started with some deep deep french kissing, she was into this, and so was I... She asked if it was okay to remove my clothes, which I agreed to and she removed hers as well. Back to some kissing, and I slipped my hand to her love spot, she was big time wet, really enjoying it. She told me kissing got her going, and it did. She then proceeded to give me a BBBJ, nice deep throat, she was trying to take it all the way down her throat, and pretty darn close... It was my turn, and went down on her, and she was very responsive, and also enjoys some ass play, so I was able to give some DATO. She was really into this and built up to a nice orgasm. After that back to some more BBBJ, before we decided to put on the hat, and started with some cowgirl... She enjoyed this, but I really wanted to do her doggie, which she wanted to, so we switched around, and went doggie. Did last long before, I came.... She was very nice, offerred to clean up and is just a very nice lady. We chatted for a bit, she is a runner, and I have been running a bit lately, so we chatted a bit.. I was interested in trying a second shot, and she was more than willing to oblige.....She offer COF, but I elected CIM, which she was happy to finish me that way. Anyway, small premium for CIM, which I knew ahead of time. For you anal guys, she is willing to do this, the premium is more for that, but if you like this, she seems to be willing to oblige, but I suspect that would be YMMV, for obvious reasons. Would I repeat, sure, am I now a big fan of spinners....No not big time, but the sex was great, she has a great personality, and she seems to be in it because she loves the sex, and this was her first day... You never know how long the ladies will last at PK, so you'd better not procrastinate to see this one.

I never ever do this to MA's or SP's. plain and simple... its not polite nor tolerated in any forum. I don't understand why people try to do this.

None of it has been debunked. Many of the posters have told you, repeatedly, that comparing sex work to other professions is a false analogy. At this point I'm convinced that you just want to be right--listening doesn't seem to be one of your strong suits.

Clubs here don't really book feature girls anymore nowadays. There are still some regular dancers who put on incredible stage shows (Maude and Brooklyn, to name a few) but stage isn't where dancers make their money, so most don't pull out all the stops for their rotations - especially when they're going up as often as once an hour during shifts with fewer girls working.

Hello Cerb! Just wanted to make a statement about the Vanier ladies, being one myself. I've been getting asked alot if I am a street walker...answer to that is No! I am not, nor are the ladies here on Cerb. We are service providers, escorts or companions! We are in homes, hotels or otherwise not walking the streets flaunting ourselves for a quick Buck or drugs. We work to support our families, buy groceries pay tuitions and so on. We are respectful ladies who deserve to be treated as such! Thank you!

The new Superman Man of Steel movie was awesome. New actor playing superman is more rugged then Christopher Reeves.

Another story http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/07/17/mike-allen-prostitution-charges_n_3611917.html Story states in part while he was President of the local Chamber Of Commerce he wanted the police to crack down on prostitution Also sounds like he is separated/divorced, so why not legally and discreetly see a companion in Canada RG

Interesting question. When I was younger I always imagined that a threesome would be my ultimate fantasy realized. It happened and it was one of my most memorable sexual experiences. There are images, feelings and tastes that I will always remember. Like any sexual experience it depends almost entirely on the people participating. The two women involved were beautiful and very desirable. They also were attracted to each other. I don't think I am mistaken when I say that there was a chemistry between all three of us. However, I felt slightly overwhelmed at the time. I am incredibly happy that I had the experience, especially with the women involved. However, I don't think I will do it again (never say never). I don't think I am suited to the dynamic. I think I am a one on one person.

I just had a wonderful notion. I'd like to recreate the orgy scene from Caligula, but set it in modern times. Then I'd invite all the ladies of CERB, take a Viagra bath and dive in!! It may not make a lot of sense, but damn it sure would be fun!!

Those numbers seem to be getting better and better as we go on. It started off like 20 to 0. The more we talk about it and the more we discuss the more those numbers are going to swing. People who hate negotiating are going to be louder and more vocal. People who think its ok to negotiate are more likely to be secretive and quiet about it. I almost didn't post myself.

I have gone thru all of the responses. I have calculated each persons input, and put them to a spreadsheet. I only counted each persons response once to avoid double entries. Here is what I have found. Total number of responses 54 Providers responses 25 Hobbyists responses 29 Providers saying no to this 23 Providers saying yes to this 2 Hobbyists saying no to this 24 Hobbyists saying yes to this 5 Total saying No to this 47 Total saying yes to this 7 So, if my math is correct (and I will be the first to admit if I am wrong). Total % of Providers saying no 92% Total % of Providers saying yes 8% Total % of Hobbyists saying no 83% Total % of Hobbyists saying yes 13% Total of all respondents saying no 87% Total of all respondents saying yes 13% So, keep debating this one. This is an issue that unless you are the one providing the service, you will never truly understand. We can try to help you to understand, but if you choose to stop listening, and only do the talking, and trying to convince others why your answer is correct and the majority clearly state it is not correct, you will continue chasing your own tail. By the way, to the one who is sending out the following email to several providers, cute: Hey sexy, love your pics. What does $20 get me?

Just a reminder to all, make sure to get in touch with Loneskater, Mistert or myself so you can secure your spot for the fall social. We have gotten an excellent response thus far and are looking forward to hearing from more of you. Again, more details will follow for those who have confirmed and have paid. Discretion is a must to protect both the ladies and gentlemen attending. So once you know the location we ask that you do not reveal it to anyone else. We look forward to talking to everyone over the next few weeks, September 19th will be here sooner than we think!!! :D

I've traveled to the USA and had encounters very safely. This MP called up a so called SP on a "online site" as they say which could of been BP or CL who knows, his error in judgement and not very brilliant on his part. Ladies (VIP) down south use more professional sites of advertising or screening it is for their protection and safety. I choose to pay the higher scale to see VIP ladies when I travel to the USA not from a online site like BP or CL. It takes common sense, well thought out planning before traveling to participate with an SP in the USA. I keep in touch with a few of them weekly now :) it's all good ;)

Just any fyi - as you are new, there are already a lot of threads about MA providers in Winnipeg. Start there. Once you have made a presence by posting, you will get a warmer reception for getting specific information. Look at the recommendations of providers in your area. Start with them. Open questions of "who should I see", without a background of who you are will generally get a chilly non-specific response. There seem to be a lot of new hobbyists who come in, ask a whole bunch of questions and don't contribute anything in return There is always a possibility that Law Enforcement is asking questions so they can target those that are providing, so until you have some posting history (and asking who provides does not count), they are looking for contributions. Good luck

solicitation ? I always thought rates were for time spent together? Or for back massage? : )

I just assumed PSE meant there was about 12 guys standing around with "semi's" trying to look like they belonged there so they could watch the action

Ive always been so interested in doing the porn thing as i watch a lot of it myself and tend to film a lot of my own intimate sessions with a significant other (at their will of course) ;P

Same in Edmonton. Having a close friend in Vice, I am aware of online investigations being done on a regular basis, with PM'ing to try and get deeper into detail. Main focus is pimping, gangs, underage, forced to be a provider, drugs or any other illegal activity. I will not Pm a newbie, or anyone who doesn't have a decent post record along with reviews or a history of reviews. The newbies are also trying get info on their competitors and go online to trash their reputation too. I realize I was new on here once too, but I did not come on searching for details. There are many ways to do searches and contact the ladies if you are serious to meet. Once I have been on a while and have interacted on posts with other members, I have on occasion PM'd them about various ladies just to confirm my interest.

Quite frankly, if you have to haggle over 20 dollars, maybe you should consider that you can't afford to see escorts.

ORIGINAL POST: In the original post (shown above) you decided it was wrong for clients to politely ask. You spoke for everyone on that. Above you state that politely inquiring is the same as ("akin to") negotiating, which you had already named a "not acceptable" action. I disagree. as my last post suggested, I would only find a gentleman rude if he pursued after I clearly stated the word NO. And keep in mind, my entire post was not directed at you personally, it was a general reply to the thread and intended for everyone involved. I felt it was necessary to voice that not all SPs think the way this very one-sided conversation was going. I especially hated this part: Have you been with these women yourself? If not, I would avoid speaking on what you can get for $80. And know that any reply made to this particular comment WOULD BE directly aimed at me as I do offer a "special" at this price once a month. And for those of you who think I should not offer such specials, that this behavior is what leads to "higher-end" (I had to put that in quotation marks because it's not the term I would have used) SPs being "low-balled" then I simply say to you: Until a day comes when anyone tells you that you MUST offer specials, do not presume to tell others they cannot/should not. If "special rates" don't work for you, don't offer them, but your own rules are yours to follow. Yours. And please do not again presume what magnitude of service I (or any other ladies) offer... I am kinda taken back and incredibly insulted by your thinking that your rate alone makes you a "better SP" than I (or other SPs). That was slightly off topic. My apologies. The real matter here is reality. The reality is that unless NO ONE "bends" on prices, people will always ask! DEAL WITH IT! It is how a potential client reacts to the "no" that should classify him as rude/not rude. Again, I do agree with you all that if you advertise your rates, say they aren't negotiable then there is nothing wrong with being angry at the guy and blacklisting him. HOWEVER! Politely asking if XXX service/time is available at XXX amount of dollars should not have created such an uproar. Which I might ad, in conclusion here, is exactly what the OP suggested should never be done. Good day.

I am sorry of your first experience. I do not know anything about this lady. She seems to be so new that there are no prior threads about her. Hopefully you will have better luck with ladies who have recommendations here. BP can be a hit or miss, so maybe try some of the lovely ladies who advertise here.

Actually, dear one, what we're discussing here is the fact that there really is a rule or moral code that is being broken when someone attempts to negotiate our fees. You may think this is silly or trivial, but we don't. The consequence for most men will be that they're not going to be able to see the lady whose rates they've attempted to challenge. A man may have the right, in terms of the free speech right, to launch a challenge, but he will also have to accept the probable outcome. We, on the other hand, are under no obligation whatever to accept his challenge as appropriate, reasonable or something we should consider accepting, nor are we under any obligation to see someone who has tried this. You see, for most of us, attempting to negotiate our rates is a violation of boundaries and, once someone starts that kind of thing, we know that there's potentially no end in sight. The next thing we know, he'll be trying to pressure for services we don't provide, or to forget using the condom for some things or even all things. He may decide he's entitled to run overtime significantly. Or he may consider that, having our address, he's should be allowed to drop by, unannounced, as "friends" often do. He might see these things as reasonable. Most of us see them as the thin edge of a very wide and potentially dangerous wedge.

When I read this, I could not stop laughing thinking of this movie clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57jOssjTbWw Sorry, I'm not right! Sandi

Did a tin eye search, 25 matched from something called salespider from Virginia mostly...

I've had people text me those kinds of negotiating questions and I say to them "Would you like to go to work for free today or have your boss tell you that you will only be paid X amount?" No I didn't think so! Don't negotiate. It's tacky and will not get you anywhere! Think about the outcome of all this...you go to see the SP and she is completely resenting you. You think you're going to get good service? I highly doubt it. This is why the better and more reputable SPs will NOT take whatever they can get. We actually care and take pride in our services and our rates are on par with that. We enjoy what we do for a living but at the same time we also have bills to pay, mortgages and other things to take care of . Don't mistake the fact that just because a person enjoys what they do has to accept a lesser rate. In fact, they should be getting paid their asking rate because the experience will be that much better. Taking an intimate encounter with a woman and turning it into all dollars and cents and what can you get for this or that completely cheapens the entire experience. If someone is looking for that, they can hit the streets and look there. You definitely get what you pay for!

Remember your first day at work? You weren't sure what to wear, how to act, what the people you were going to meet would be like, whether you knew anything? Was it going to be a fun place to work? Would you want to come back for another day? Would your customers like you? Well yesterday was Megan's first day and she hit it out the park! There was not even a chance for her to use the famous "It's my first day" excuse, one of the best parts about having a first day on the job....she knew the subject matter like she's been reading the manual and taking the training for years. We got to know each other in chat and decided to meet up once she punched the clock and started her newfound life as a working girl. We met up at her swanky office space downtown (complete with bed!), where she was both the receptionist and the chair of our meeting. And wow, if there was ever a receptionist you wanted to fuck, she was it. She was dressed business casual for a friday, tight form-fitting dress, nice heels and mondo cleavage, just the way most guys adore (or imagine) their business woman. We exchanged more than the traditonal handshakes once the door closed and needless to say, the do not disturb sign hung on the door and no phone calls were to be taken. Some small talk to begin as most meetings do, but we quickly buckled (i mean unbuckled) down and got to the dirty work. She is tremendously sexy with smoldering eyes, beautiful long raven hair and a lovely dark complexion. The beauty doesnt stop upstairs in the executive suite though. As you make your way down to the lobby, with the 2 beautiful (and large) orbs to mesmerize you, then on your way to the basement and the male room where packages are oh so happy to be delivered. She is an architectural dream from head to toe. Smooth exterior and blazing hot interior. Wow, even Frank Lloyd Wright would have put down his T-square to visit with Megan. Lots of heavy petting until it was time for the business attire to be sent out for cleaning, leaving us with only our birthday suits and plenty of supplies on hand to keep our meeting going. The equipment was put to good use byu both of us and we had no issues whatsoever handling each other's equipment. In fact, Megan did a great job using her lips to get mine warmed up. All metaphors aside, this girl is a total knockout and with her dancer background, has moves that are unrivalled. She knows how to get a guy revved up and definitely fulfilled a personal goal of mine to see how great a dancer can be if she crossed the line into escorting. She was great at both giving and receiving, two hallmarks of what her new profession entails. The main event was truly the highlight of our visit. Megan has a tremendous petite yet curvy body with full, spectacular breasts. i could have held onto her beautiful bum and watched those assets bounce all day long but there's no way i could have lasted. she definitely brought out the best in me and we collapsed together in giant heap on the expansive bed. we curled up and chatted together for awhile, about why she got into this line of work. clearly her #1 motivation is that she loves sex, which is the perfect reason to start a career that gives her (and her clients) so much pleasure. without question, a stellar first day for megan and yes, she might be cute as a button, but also hot as a firecracker and above all else a talented artist in the bedroom (or the champagne room!). i will definitely be giving her a visit not only at Barb's but also in her "home office", where she provides the greatest in hospitality and leaves every meeting attendee with an exhausted grin from ear to ear. all the best in the hobby, megan, keep winning those employee of the week awards! see you soon. xoxoxoxo

OD, what were you thinking? Come on! :sadomaso: You forgot to include in your number 10 that NO lady wants to see a picture of their male junk :obs55:, big or small, shaved or not, in their introduction email ;)

Just giving my reason why I do not visit chat anymore. There is eight pages on chat etiquette, any where from a man looking to pull out his penis out to show and tell, OR men asking ladies to show more on cam, back door chat rooms with nothing accomplished other then this 8 page thread on etiquette and complaints about members going into private chat rooms, so I just don't visit the chat room...what is wrong with that? what is out of context? other than my choice of not visiting the chat room? If you visit the chat room enjoy your stay and have fun,this is my own preference of not visiting, but please ensure you play nicely inside the chat rooms.

I have seen you on cam and I can say your teasing should be enough to leave the rest to the imagination. It is done tastefully and with fun. If they can't get the picture by how much (or little) you do reveal, then they are not respecting boundaries. Like you, I hate it when I go into chat and someone "jumps" on me right away to go into private chat and start asking me what's my favourite sex position. Chat is meant to be informative, fun and a chance to get to know each other. Thank goodness it is that, for the most part. Let's not let the morons get us down. Thanks for posting this friendly reminder Meg.

I love the chat room. My goal is to meet as many members as possible and get to know what makes them tic! You will never see me solicit, you will never see me harass, you will never see me go outside the boundaries. I have no problem answering questions about myself, my services etc... but... I expect in return.... Do not ask me to show my face nor any nudity on cam and if my cam is not on, it's for a reason. Do not request a private chat in order to get online sex talk. Do not try to negotiate with me based on what you believe to be a lesser service. Do not ask me for more pics...I do have albums, don't be so lazy. Sorry if anyone feels that I have disrespected them. In the open chat we all have a fab time but there are limits. I love private chat until it becomes apparent that someone is just using me for jerk off material. Please keep chat the fun place that it is! Today at lunch time it was an absolute blast!!!!
