In April I found out that I have cancer and the prognosis was not good. I had known for a while that something was wrong, but being the person I am, I just shrugged it off as being over 40 and not a big deal. Clearly it was. Instead of dealing with the issue at hand and informing those I care about and love, I decided to keep things to myself. When I finally started to tell those people depression and anger had set in to my heart. It had become obvious to those around me that I was no longer myself, the positive attitude and sense of humour were gone. I was trying to push those I love and care about away so I could be left alone. I was a fool! After telling my father of the situation, he realized that darkness and despair had filled my heart. He flew over here on Friday to spend a solid couple of days with me. Knowing this I thought it was time to tell him everything about my life since I left home at 18 and joined the Royal Navy. He has always been a pillar of strength in my life, there to listen and never judge. I am sure there are things that I told him over the last couple of days that he never wanted to hear, but he never wavered and just listened. This morning as I told the last of what I wished to tell him, he put that gigantic paw of his on my shoulder, looked me in the eyes and said..."get your goddamn head out of your bleeping ass"!!!! He's right!!! After more words of wisdom from my father, I realize now that it is time to enter the fight. I want to say I am sorry to those I care about and love, I should have been stronger from the start and told you the situation. That was my mistake. Thanks to my father I have my positive attitude back and sense of humour. I do not want anyone's sympathy, for it is an emotion that commandos have little value in. What I want is for people to smile and laugh, that is what gives me strength and always has. Though there will be times where I will obviously not be around while I deal with certain things, those of you who I am in contact with and consider to be my friends will know the situation and where I am. I will not keep you in the dark any longer. Now to leave this on a funny note. ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DdeLUA0Fms http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLpO-OvJU74 Spud271

For me, I don't use recommendations in making a decision to see a lady. Recommendations are but one way to help a potential client decide on who to see. I do respect that recommendations are used by some gentlemen, so yes, I do write them (when deserved of course ;-) ). So in that sense, I do give back to the CERB community, well at least I hope I do. Recommendations for me are first and foremost a public thank you to the lady for a wonderful encounter. Second and third reason sort of related. Second is to help the lady build her business by hopefully getting new clients. Third is letting gentlemen know of a wonderful companion to see. That said, for me, I don't use recommendations to chose who to see. I use a lady's posts on CERB, email correspondence and pm's to get an idea if we will click. Recommendations are a tool, one tool available on CERB to help a potential client decide who to see. But CERB also has the board, and pm's, other potential tools available as well. So for me at least I didn't come to CERB to read recommendations, but CERB offers other potential tools which aid in deciding who to see, whether intended for that purpose or not. So yes, CERB is a escort recommendation board, yes, no argument...but it is more than just a escort recommendation board and our reasons for being here may differ. CERB offers different things to different members, it isn't a one size fits all board, if that makes sense. But CERB is only as good as the contributions of it's members A rambling RG

No. I'm really not. So there, we've established that much. I originally found the board when simply looking for ads. I spent some time reading recommendations, but they never really influenced my decisions. My tastes and interests are my own, and eclectic, so I rely on my own instincts and impressions when choosing who to see. You could delete every single recommendation from CERB, and it would not change the board's value to me in the slightest. They have nothing at all to do with why I spend time here, or how I choose my companions; in fact I don't think I've read even one in the last year. When it comes to choosing a companion, I'm much more interested in providers' ads and profiles, and often something intriguing about their participation in the many fascinating threads here. So, having established that recommendations are a trivial feature of CERB for me, here's what I *do* get from the board: information about SPs in several forms, from the providers themselves really interesting discussions about sexuality and the sex-work industry different viewpoints about the industry and the experiences that come with it a fascinating community of interesting people with at least one shared interest, but other than that an incredibly diverse group with wide-ranging discussions that often have nothing at all to do with sex or its industry. On the other hand, I recognize that the recommendations are a big draw for at least some clients who come here (but far from all, as we can see from the poll), and have value for those providers who benefit from them. So I'm glad for those folks. But gee whiz Pete... you've got to recognize that no matter what the board may call itself in its banner, or what those who run or old-time regulars may imagine CERB to be, or have been... others can legitimately value different things from this place. It's cool that you value the recommendations so much. But there's no basis for faulting those who never read them and really don't care about them at all. It's not necessary, or reasonable, to expect that we'd all be "here for the same thing". Plainly your interests are not my interests; the things you value aren't the things I value. But so what? As long as CERB's core business of ads and traffic chugs along, we can each take what we need from this place, and leave others to find value their own way.

I havent read all the replies so if I'm repeating anything forgive me, but I like to have recommendations to refer a new potential client to... I'm not exactly the best at self promotion or talking myself up so if a wary or nervous potential client asks me something seemingly silly (but valid i guess) like "well what kind of experience can I expect?" or "what sets you apart from the other ladies?"...i can give my two cents but its easier to say "Dont take my word for it.....check out my 11 pages of reviews from some very satisfied customers". Hehe ;)

There is a certain romance about melancholy on a day like today. The kind of day that rings with an undertone of mystery and the unknown future. Is it pathetic fallacy of the weather forecast? Or is it found in the stars? What is the driving force behind days like this? I am familiar with this feeling and vibe in autumn, but today I can feel it to my inner core. Yet, I love these days, a melancholic romance that some may mistake for boredom. For a moment you look outside, you see mountainous clouds forming, winds blowing, cooler temperature sweeps in and you ask yourself " is summer over?" It gives us a chance to reflect inward. Can you find comfort in being alone? Are you always search for entertainment and activity? Or are you able to sit quietly and listen to the voice of the winds, the ocean, or the hummmm of the city? Perhaps this is more of a monologue? But I want to hear what instills moments of introspection and reflection for you? Is it seasonal? Can you find romantic connection to your surroundings all by yourself? You may be asking " romance by yourself...???" But like the great romantic poets, or the Hemingway, Joyce and Tom Roberts of our days, they portray a certain romance in anything. Romance of a city, a storm or just being able to relish the quietude we experience on day like today? This day, I sit in reflection and look out my window. I smell the amazing sweet air, ominous clouds that are forming, and just love the feeling that the world that is so much bigger than I. I am humbled by the wonders of our globe...the 3rd rock from the sun. And I am just little me:)

One of the things I love about this board and other places like it is it is dynamic and in a constant state of evolution. What may have started out as a recommendation board has grown into a community based on its members. The threads, comments, polls, chats, ads etc. all add value to the board making it more than it started out as. As has been said, there is so much value here that every member has the ability to meet their needs in whatever way they choose. reading reco's, reading ads or posts, links to websites, twitters, blogs etc. There is no right or wrong way and THAT is the beauty here. To each their own and because of the community we have built, there really IS that much variety. So, while I do it individually as I can, I want to thank everyone who participates because it is that key point that allows everyone here to get whatever they want from the site.

Semi - Short reply Pete. The three things in red at the top there....although I didn't say those things on this thread or ever intended to...... they most certainly ALL apply to me. I write them and now have fun doing so even if they are retarded..... but I rarely rarely read one unless it pops up on the Cerb homepage. I understand the concept of CERB.....I realize I am no doubt a minority for not using recco's.....but we all are different and have our own reasons and method of madness for being here and to meet ladies we want to meet. I like to read what the ladies type all by themselves ! Whether it be an ad, a post on an informative thread or on a fun thread. This tells me their personality which is huge if you ever want to have a connection with anyone IMO :) Just sayin...... my opinion but I suppose I am not your average bear anyways ;)

Wishing you all the best in what may be the most important battle to date. Being that my significant other was diagnosed in march with cancer I know that you have a long road ahead of you as we do. I can tell you do not hesitate to rely on friends and family for support for there will be times you need it. You will find that the professional medical people whom will guide you through this journey of hell truly remarkable. The cancer centre in the Civic and it's staff are second to none. Best of luck and kick ass.

Cheers to you handsome, may you have many more battles in your future and look upon this one as just one more you've conquered. I will not try to blow roses or smoke up your ass, that kinky stuff will cost you a good deal more (sorry no pity discounts for you!) and I am sure this will be a struggle but from all that I have gleaned of you over the years I am sure you will find the strength to face this head on. Whatever the prognosis you have been given I do hope you realise there are always some that beat those odds and a good many people are on your side to support you and be sure you are one of those people. Take care of yourself first and post to us when you need it, want to or just feel like blowing off some steam.

To paraphrase Christopher Walken-don't just fight it, kick its ass!

Thanks everyone! I promise there will be many many many more "cum-covered" posts! :D

Just wanted to welcome Angela back to the board. She's been a fixture here for many years, over 8000 posts and put a lot of time helping organize the Ottawa socials.

There have been lots of new members of late but that doesn't mean there'll be lots of new reco's. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. Yes Cerbs intended purpose is to allow gentlemen to post their recos on their ladies, that purpose is to let others know that recoed lady was real, gives good service and could be relied on, that "he" liked her, so you may. There are many men who like that process and rely on it. But there are even more imo that don't. They come to this board because of its reputation of hosting legit members, both hobbyists and sp's, for its content, pictures, profiles, forum. For them all other aspects are their deciding factors and you'll never get them to write a reco, never, its not their style, but they still want and appreciate a site like cerb for all its other points. I don't think anyones legitimacy, value or quality of service should be judged by their recos, especially the amounts of recos or recos alone as some get them, they attract the men that write them and others don't. I think its more important to choose a lady based on your attraction to her posts, pics, and personal discussions, your emails/phone conversations between the 2 of you, wouldn't that say more? After all just because I like vanilla doesn't mean you will, however if you do then my perception of it may be helpful, its for you to decide:) The nice thing is here you have that choice:)

Emily or AKA deeperconnection here on CERB and occasionally on BP. I don't think the PSE experience is quite on her menu, but what is on there will make you forget about it.

Thanks for sharing, and wishing you a speedy recovery! You are a strong person, I have no doubt you will kick this in the ass!

I'm certainly glad that you had a visit with your dad, even though the reasons for it not so good Wishing you all the best in this battle. Stay strong, be positive, and my thoughts will be with you RG

o.O You guys are 9 days late :P But thanks :D

When I go on BP and see a girl continuously post her ad multiple times all day, it really doesn't make me want to see her at all. It comes off as really desperate. It also doesn't make a difference if you change the title or text. Basically it's a huge turn off for me.

All the best to you! If there is one thing I admire about the Royal Marine is their tenacity in the face of an enemy any enemy. Fight on spud!

Thanks for sharing this with us, Spud. I wish you all the best....and do fight like a marine! Your relative young age, fighting spirit and the tough military training will all be in your favour.

My belly button was pierced, its now healed over, why, just got tired of it. Yes piercings are pretty, so many styles of jewelry to choose from. I'd say if you are going to do it, do it because you'd like it on yourself not because of standards or another's opinion. It will draw attention to the area you pierce, keeping that in mind there are pros and cons. The jewelry can get caught on clothing, it takes a while to heal and has to be cleaned properly and often. Make sure you deal with someone reputable and that the piecing is done in the right spot, for the belly, it should be high enough above the button so some jewelry will sit inside the button not below it. In the event you do it and don't like it the hole does heal fairly quickly and leaves a very minor scar, little hole, nothing to worry about. Hope this helps, all the best:)

Congrats Alexxxis! Always enjoy reading what you have to say and really, really enjoy your naughty pics!

Congrats and thanks to you! Good work!! :)

I just want to say that I am shocked by the level of hobbyists saying they are approached by SPs to "come visit me,I need money" or "Haven't seen you in a while, miss ya"... Seems highly unprofessional! I would have to think that if these particular women cannot exude discretion, they may have chosen the wrong profession. JMHO, discrete is the first thing an SP should be, and reaching out to clients is not discrete. In these cases, even if they are soliciting you for paid visits, they are already blurring the lines by initiating contact. Most of the lovely ladies here will tell you that isn't classy. I won't even reply to a missed call or text if I received it more than 30mins ago! DISCRETION, DISCRETION,DISCRETION! I understand some SPs may struggle financially for whatever reasons, but it's just so unprofessional to approach potential clients who did not approach you first! It's been my personal experience that placing an ad (be it here on cerb, or EC or BP, whatever!) will generate visitors, no need to "harass" hobbyists. For the record, I would never want to be romantically involved with someone whom I met via this industry. Like some of the other SPs have stated, we kind of live double lives... and to be brutally honest here; if it's Alexxxis you are falling for, you're not in love with ME.

I have often wondered the same thing. I have also wondered why the need was felt to call it "greek" when it already had a name(s) that weren't related to anyone's ethnicity. While I dislike the acronyms, I find when I use them people at least know what I'm talking about and it makes it easier to communicate a lot in a little space. If I don't use them, it seems like a lot of information jammed into one spot. I much prefer talking one on one about sexy stuff then reducing it to letters.

First when I started out and the whole process was quite foreign to me I liked to see the list of "services" so I knew what to expect from what was an entirely new experience. So I think newbies may like to see the listing to help them understand what's in-store for them. Now with more experience (and the help of CERB), I don't really care about it as I'm much more comfortable chatting with companions about my preferences for my encounter. As a rule I have an understanding about what's "included" in my experience and if there happens to be any specific request that I might have that's outside "the norm" of typical services I just ask the companion about it. We're all adults, and if we're adult enough to do it then we should be adult enough to talk about it. However, if a companion has a specific service that she chooses not to offer (greek, BBBJ, etc) I think it would be easier to list the "don't do" services to avoid unnecessary contacts by clients looking for this service. Just my thoughts.

Everyone is so hot...You might not be able to pick one :P maybe a try a duo if you can't ;) 9-10 Alexxis 11-6 Leyla 3-10 Sephora For you non members don't worry! Call 613-523-6199 to inquire about how easy it is to become a member ;) xo

I personally love to read the recommendations. I have in the past booked with ladies with no reco's, but for the most part I prefer to see a couple of posts about them first. Part of it is perhaps laziness, as it can answer a lot of questions about the type of experience the lady offers without having to bother her with pm's and emails that may not lead anywhere. I understand that each experience may be different and YMMV, so I'm not necessarily looking to specific details, but for the overall feel and impression of an encounter. You can tell a lot from what is said, and often even more from what is not said. The reco's also show me that this is person is who she says she is, the pics are real, and that someone at least has had a very good time. I love the fact that this is a recommendation site and not a review site as it forces people to focus on the positive. I've never given a lot of weight to negative reviews as often the reviewer is being petty or has an ax to grind. It's often easier for people to focus on the bad stuff, which to me means that when someone says something good, they normally mean it.

I can't speak on the reasons why these women say this, as I don't know them. But. I know a few women in my personal life won't date certain races, and I've heard them say,'I'm not racist... well, I hate XXX race, because a group of them once attacked me/assaulted me/etc" I know how traumatic it can be to be assaulted. I personally have been assaulted by a man twice in my life. Both times, it was a white man. But can you imagine if I said... I won't see white guys? That I hate ALL white guys, because I was assaulted by white guys? No one would think that was okay. I would not think it was okay. The men who assaulted me were assholes, their race doesn't have anything to do with it. It wasn't because they were white, and the men who attacked my friends were assholes, no matter what the colour of their skin. There are scumbags of every colour, just like there are gentlemen of every colour. I will decline your request for an invitation if you are disrespectful, dirty, rude, or cheap. But your race? I could not care less if you are white/brown/black/yellow/orange/purple/etc. (sidebar on the size thing.... I've seen just as many black men with smaller cocks as I've seen white men with gigantic dicks. My purrsonal experience has taught me you never know what you'll see under those boxer shorts til the shorts hit the floor).

Consider this a cautionary tale... I have been declined positions pouring coffee, answering phones and cleaning houses in the not so distant past because I was outed as a "former" sex worker which popped up when my government name was googled. I've been told I'm "unemployable" and can't even volunteer my time with any reputable charities that aren't sex work related. One never knows what the future will bring and the stigma will be there whether your life is going well or not. If a provider ends up in front of a judge, potential employer or landlord who know their history or their present; it's a high probability that it isn't going to end well. The real threat isn't from the casual cruiser of the internet recognizing us on the street but from those closest to us handing over the damaging links to hurt us. The ex husbands, boyfriends, best friends, roomies and less than loved family members are the most dangerous. My Canadian notoriety happened because my FATHER outed my decade old history to the Globe and Mail. Please, ladies who are considering showing their faces; don't make the decision lightly. It can never be undone... cat

Welcome to CERB, Lola, and especially welcome - in advance - to Halifax! When do you expect to be arriving?
