It's the ladies that make CERB a great site. Without the ladies, it would just be a bunch of guys which I think would be sad.

In some ways i think we're the wrong group of people to ask because many of us like this aspect as part of our total encounter. We are sexual creatures and this is just a part of it. To me, this service would probably be more directed towards the people looking for connection and intimacy without the sexual aspect. All those people who may frown on sex work could view this as therapeutic and be perfectly happy supporting it. Those who would love to step into a hobbyist world but are fearful or have morality issues may view this as a happy medium. Honestly, anything that gets the world touching more, physically versus electronically connected and in some ways, back to the roots of humanity is a good thing.

IMO... what makes CERB great is that is not just a website.., is that it is a COMMUNITY before anything... where people share Opinions.. and sometimes they may differ one from the Other but where everyones respects one another!

I love cuddling, especially with this cold weather! Mmm snuggling...

For the last 3 years that I have been a member of CERB. I have made many new friends, met many beautiful women, both SP's and MA's. Chatted with many people in the Chat Room. This has become part of my daily routine now. I wanted to see why you think Cerb is such a special place? I'll start off with my list. - It is a positive place where mostly good things are talked around. - A source of beautiful and sexy women. - A great place to have discussions. - Recommendations to help choose a woman to have an encounter. - A place for women to advertise and check out clients for safety. - A chat room to talk to people - A PM system to communicate with each other in privacy. - A great Moderator to keep us in line. - Senior Members to help the newbies out. - Lot's of jokes and fun. - Lot of game and sexy pictures threads. - Kind caring members that help each other out. What else can you add?

For the last few weeks I have read through all the amazing posts in this thread paying homage to the numerous elite service providers that we are blessed to have here as part of CERB. As I have read these posts I have thought that amongst this group of amazing women should be Savannah Lane.... my problem of course was that I was not certain I could find the words to properly describe Savannah..... but here I go. I have known Savannah for seven months and in that time I have had the distinct pleasure of having many many many sessions with her. I could spend literally hours telling you about the level of passion and seduction that she brings to her meetings with her clients...in my experience she goes to extraordinary lengths to connect with her client and ensure that your time with her is everything YOU want it to be. I have had the pleasure of meeting a number of amazing Service Providers over the years but Savannah for me has raised the bar. I have often left a Service provider very satisfied and looking forward to another meeting but only with Savannah have I actually booked again for the next day as I walk to my car. So..... the encounter is amazing....the sex unbelievable..... but that is not the whole story of Savannah. Having been fortunate to have met her as often as I have I think i have come to appreciate her as a person and a friend as much I appreciate her as my companion. This lady is as passionate, caring and engaged in her everyday life as she is in her professional life. She amazes me more every day. Her energy....drive... and commitment to the important things in her life is inspiring and i can honestly say that she has changed my life. When I first met Savannah...and even now... I am dealing with issues in my own life that have caused me great pain and with which I struggle every day. Savannah has lifted my spirit and shown me a passion for life that has empowered me in my own life challenges (If my wife and family knew about her they would thank her too). She has positively impacted my life and for this I will be Thankful to her forever. Oh.... and did I mention the Sex is fucking amazing The picture that initially caught my interest: http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/picture.php?albumid=7217&pictureid=46677 The amazing Lady that keeps me coming back: http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/member.php?u=83555

I also love the fact that I have had the opportunity to meet so many nice people through CERB Such an amazing community, and I am so happy and proud to be a part of it, and thankful for everyone here Kisses to all...and Stay Sexy xxo

The first time I bought Habanero peppers was about 15 years ago. I bought 10 of them at Loblaws and went home to make a spaghetti sauce. I chopped them up and added them to the sauce (yes, it was a veery hot spaghetti sauce). After I was done I headed over to the bathroom to wash my hands. On the way, without thinking, I reached through my boxers and scratched my balls. Needless to say, I was in the shower with the water on for the next 30 minutes. Gives new meaning to the words "Great Balls of Fire"! Polydeuces

I love my hitachi... Sooo much!! For men, I get way turned on by fleshlights. Weird, I know. But the pink lady vortex? RAWR! I have been told it's like the best jerk session you ever had. Equal pressure all the way around!!! Yum! Good for solo play or have your gf, partner, etc do it for you ;)

bOObieS.:boobeyes:

SURPRISE KATHERINE !!! But Precisely !! In your hotness Katherine that burlap bag falls apart and turns instantly into a shexy skirt and nipple tassles. Do the Xmas Hula baby YEAH !!! hehe ;)

I have no new dress yet either. Lee Richards send me this burlap bag saying I'd look great in it, but I think I will try and do better. That Lee you never know what he is up to, it may be designed to fall apart once it reaches body temperature. :icon_wink:

Cuddling is one of my favorite intimate moment. For me, sex without it is blah. It is a rare moment in which we can be both vulnerable and protective of each other. When a lady is comfy and trusting enough to abandon herself and tenderly snuggle in my arms, and almost fall asleep, it is... magical.

I voted - No -sorry, but I just wouldn't pay for that service alone. I'm much more of the sensual,erotic pleasuring type guy. :) ...my reasoning... The cuddling/spooning....spooning first.. I enjoy IT... is when she can feel my hard on the small of her back while I caressed her breasts and kissed the back of her neck and held her tightly. Then she turn around and laid a big long DFK, and well...we know the rest of the story :) That is more of my type of service which includes cuddling/spooning with the full deal.

If there price were right, yes, I would. There are days where things just pile up on you, you get overwhelmed and need that human touch except for many, you can't get that. There isn't anyone around or they're busy or your friends wouldn't understand a 1/2 hour snuggle. This is a prime example. Sometimes you just need a hug. As an SP I would definitely include something like this. There is a chance it might not be the only thing you end up wanting/needing but I love the added benefit of the therapeutic touch aspect. I'm sure there is a lot of value in a stand alone snuggery but I would think it would have to be in the right location. Australia is very open to many things and would embrace this concept with open arms. There are others places that would not or would view it sideways as something dirty.

I'd suggest taking a look at the entire collection of pictures here: http://www.boreddaddy.com/photos-stomach-drop/ What people will try is amazing! (with just a little crazy thrown in ;) ) Here's a couple just to get you started:

How can you NOT cheer for a team with a cat for a mascot? Im running to the market to grab you a watermelon and later when I serenade you with Roar you can cry into your melon.... And YES I am the luckiest as I have a date with Savannah Lane.....I do get the BEST of BOTH worlds.... Saint John and I are the luckiest people alive....and we even brought you almost Regina Temps so you can feel like your at home Miss Lane :) Lets GO TiCATS!!!!

Following an exchange of extremely hot PM's, I wondered if any of the providers indulge in cybersex with potential or existing clients? It struck me as an interesting way to get to know someone's hot buttons. But is there a worry that you may lose business or that it would eventually consume your day? For the hobbyists, did you ever or do you now cybersex with a provider (without naming names)? This board reaches across the country. If you had the chance to text play with a out of town provider, would that increase you chances of booking if the lady in question comes to your town? Speaking for myself, I am totally in lust with several out of town providers. Text play may give insight into possible chemistry. On the plus side, it would be nice to share an orgasm virtually and then recreate in the flesh.

Hmm, I keep going back and forth on this one. I do like cuddling, always have, and find it a great stress reliever, but speaking honestly I'm truly not sure if I would pay for that alone. I can't help but think that even if I didn't go into it wanting something more intimate, after a bit of nice cuddling I would be wanting more! This isn't to say there aren't some forms of non-sexual companionship I'd be willing to make arrangements for. Sometimes I can't find anyone to watch Game of Thrones or play some Mass Effect with. Having a lovely lady or two over to join in on some geeky shenanigans sounds like a good time to me. And yeah, I suppose if we happen to cuddle a the same time I wouldn't complain. :)

It was the height of summer. We had friends over for a BBQ. I had fixed everyone a large frozen strawberry Margarita. Six perfectly blended glasses of strawberry delight balanced on a tray. Was I worried, not a bit! I was a bartender in a previous life so I was confident in my ability to transport a tray of frozen drinks a scant 15 feet to where everyone had congregated by the pool. Sadly, I had forgotten to open the glass patio doors. Damn near broke my nose and I wore all six frozen sticky concoctions. The ironic part, well actually there's two ironic parts; I had just cleaned the glass earlier that day and I don't drink! I wore everyone else's drinks.

I answered yes, but i'm not totally sure. Before i probably would have paid for that kind of service. However, now i get it when booking with a MA/SP. I also have 2-3 friends i can cuddle with. It's still pretty recent, but it would remove the need to pay for it. A similar service i saw was a "sleep buddie". A girl who sleep overnight with someone for money. If the price was right, i'd definitively try it. I've never had the chance to fall asleep in a girl's arms and wake up next to her.

Sure, I think it is a possibility. I am a mature guy, and with age I am in a transition. I still thoroughly enjoy the intimacy of being with a woman, but find that the actual sex act isn't as important as it was in my youth and middle age. I think just enjoying all the senses, kissing snuggling, smell or a massage are just some of the many activities that can be still enjoyed. The only caveat is that both partners have to trust each other to be able to have good communications. The other thing is that you have to have a clear understanding of the limits and where you want to go should those rules wish to be crossed.

Had some amazing text chats with some service providers and received so very nice pictures but never anything I would classify as Cyber-sex.... well at least my clothes stayed on during the chat. In regards to the question of Cyber-sex increasing or decreasing the likelihood of my booking with the lady I would have to think it would as I can't imagine taking advantage of a ladies time if I was not serious about booking. Certainly if i chatted with an SP from another part of the country it would increase the chances of me contacting her if I traveled there at some point. Just to be clear view am not suggesting that SP's should be expected to have Cyber-sex as a prelude to bookings.... i fully appreciate that this is the ladies livelihood so I should not expect to take advantage of her time. There are ways to express your thanks to lady who does this for you. :)

Is that wise? You'll be paying far more than the service is worth, and they may start to feel entitled. If you feel you have to pay way more than the going rate for a service, go somewhere else that provides that service for a reasonable price. I'm not saying be cheap, just don't distort the market. We already know what the going rate for a (fully clothed) HE is.

Since there are a lot of pet owners and lovers here I tend to post about animal/pet issues from time to time and I choose the general forum as I've gotten little response when I post in the pet group section. Anyways, for a while now I've been researching pet foods trying to find a brand that uses humanely raised animals as that's how I eat now so I want my dogs to as well. With no luck thus far. I've contacted 3 companies who may but I am still awaiting responses from their reps. What I did find out and what did shock me was the use of euthanized animals in a lot of commercial pet food. This seems to be factual and is talked about on many food review, breeder and other dog forums. This included article is just one of many out there. So I guess the long and short is to avoid this avoid any nameless meat or by products. Meaning unless it's specified as poultry, beef, fish, etc, don't by it. http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-industry-exposed/euthanized-pets-dog-food/

-CERB is a recommendation board, not a review board -CERB isn't a boy's club, the ladies feel safe here and ladies and gentlemen are equal here -In spite of CERB at it's core being about recommendations and advertising, there are many other forums, some that have nothing to do with this lifestyle but contribute to the enjoyment of this board -Members' milestones are acknowledged be it birthdays, post counts, post started etc etc etc not to mention feedback given of member's posts through nominations, rep points and thanks. CERB is a community, not just a board A rambling RG

No surprise, BP is loaded with girls doing this. When I started out I used a couple of pictures taken from the net, it seemed that most were doing that back then, I knew absolutely nothing about online etiquette and providing, no justification, but an explanation. I was also afraid to show my identity, afraid of being found out, but still felt the need to be online. Now I really don't care who knows what:) Others may be doing it for the same reasons. Again not a justification, as I've since learned of the ramifications and stupidity of doing so, but an explanation. So, the best thing a gent can do is when using that site do a goolgle image search or tineye search to make sure he is contacting the person pictured.

To coincide with her triumphant return to Ottawa today, I nominate the beautiful, sexy and lovely Nikky Fox as the Cerb goddess of the day! My apology, her pictures will be coming out real soon!

I'd have to say no too. I see ladies for intimate encounters. Cuddling for me is part, an important part of an encounter, but not the only part of an encounter. Sex is also a part of an encounter. But it too is not the only part of an encounter. Conversation over drinks, either getting to know one another or reconnecting with a lady you have had previous encounters with, that too is part of an encounter. But it isn't the only part of an encounter And with that said, all of that doesn't describe a encounter, an encounter is far more than the sum of it's menu parts. An encounter allows for real intimacy between a lady and gentleman. And for me, cuddling without the intimacy that for me would be empty and just a menu item. Cuddling as part of an encounter, a GFE, is great. Just my opinion RG

I don't mean this in a bad way but my favorite sex toy is real live person and she knows who she is...... Amazing Lady with or without toys :).

Sounds interesting and I always say try anything once so i hope it gets off to a good start... maybe if i am in Ottawa it could be something i try.

Yes! Some days you just want to relax, you know, in the arms of a warm, charming lady :) Where do I sign up?

cuddling sounds good, specially after a good massage...

But I'm only suggesting two people agree upon the method of inquiry -- not the set of conclusions that may be reached by using them. If two people can't agree on the principles underlying inquiry, then they'll just talk past each other and really won't get anywhere. There's still a broad range of conclusions possible from strictly interpreting evidence and trying, as much as possible, to avoid bias. See that's kind of funny, because I thought when I said "It's possible that the existence of the universe is something beyond cause and effect as we understand it" that I was paraphrasing your position... based on this: ... which I took to be a committed statement of fact, and a final position, rather than a statement about the limits of our current knowledge. You're absolutely right, though, that the simple answer "we don't know" is very often the best one, and perfectly valid, but leaves a lot of people deeply uncomfortable. Some people think a wild guess has more value than saying "I don't know." But they're usually wrong. (I think this, by the way, might be the same reason Miss Jane thought you were dismissing inquiry entirely with that statement and thus undermining science, rather than advocating the entirely "I don't know is okay" position.) Fundamentally, I think we agree here.

Sorry hear your regular is no longer available. Its hard to move on. If you could let us know what type of lady that "turns your crank", it is easier to make suggestions. There are so many ladies out there, that it's hard to say what might work for one, doesn't do it another. Good luck in your search - there is always a gem out there, You just need to decide what you are looking for - and let us know. xoxo

Originally Posted by Phaedrus But this question presumes that there needs to be a reason for it, or for anything. The universe doesn't need to exist for a reason. It just exists. In a sense I agree with your comment Miss TJ. Most of us look for "meaning", "purpose" and "reasons". If you look at the history of science, initially it focused on the "meaning or purpose of life" and was very wrapped up in religious beliefs. "Science" as a body of knowledge and a methodology for describing the physical world was in its infancy and didn't look like it does now. As it became clear that religious beliefs on the order and functioning of the cosmos were inconsistent with physical observations (think Copernicus and Galileo), scientific investigation became less restricted by religious beliefs about the meaning and purpose of life. Scientific thought became aligned with more secular philosophical thoughts. Of course, eventually, many abstract philosophical ideas, were shown to have an incorrect understanding of the physical world. These days, science no longer concerns itself with metaphysical questions such as... the meaning of life... why the universe exists... what is its/our purpose. Those questions have been left for religion and philosophy. Scientific research and the body of knowledge we call "science" now focuses on "how" the physical world works, not why it works that way. For example evolution and relativity are successful theories describing how aspects of biology and physics work. Neither one however attempts to explain why the speed of light is constant or why we have DNA. So while science may have its origins in seeking the reason or purpose of life/nature, that's no longer the case. If you ask most scientists to describe their work, they also wouldn't say they are answering questions of meaning or the purpose of existence. On the other hand, if you ask them if they have any religious or philosophical beliefs, most would say they do. Just like everyone else, they also seek meaning and purpose, they just realize it won't be found in a lab or in the field.

Is it my user name?

How do i feel about being alone... good question but it really depends on what you mean by being alone... If we are talking about that positive time we have to ourselves to think, read, vegetate, self reflect or generally recharge our batteries I am all for it. However if we are talking about that feeling of being alone and unconnected even when we are surrounded by people.... that us a different thing. Sometimes in life we find ourselves in these places and it is when you need your friends and family to help you see what is right in front of you. The challenge is that often when we are in this place we act as if things are ok and we don't reach out for the help from the very people we need. People who are suffering from grief often find themselves alone in the crowd.

Physical beauty is a veneer that fades, cracks and chips away over time. The true beauty that each of us possesses is the acknowledgment that none of us is perfect, and from that acknowledgement emerges humility, humanity and ultimately the personality that sparkles. We have discussed the attempts of many to achieve the epitome of beauty. Healthy diets, exercise regimens, cosmetic products and procedures - the list can and will go on ad infinitum. The catch? There will always be someone that will be more beautiful, more glamourous, more athletic, with straighter whiter teeth etc., etc. The quest for greater physical beauty often comes with a tragic price, the fading value placed on inner beauty. Our own imperfections, whether real or perceived are the things that make us who we are. That mushy tummy, those laugh lines around our eyes, the goofy smile that produces uneven dimples, the hair that goes its own way or has left completely, that birthmark, or whatever else - those things that make us individuals, that make us imperfect, those are the things that invisibly contribute to our personality. We compensate. We channel the energy from things we can't really change or have given up on trying to change to other aspects of our being. We become better people, more accessible, friendlier, charming and charismatic. The physical attraction is augmented by something intangible - that strength in character that draws attention. The inner beauty is that spark that captivates and it can exist in everyone. My favourite providers are imperfectly perfect. They radiate personality. They understand what it means to embrace their inner beauty and let it shine. They are also the ones that seem to endure the comings and goings of the new kid on the block. Embracing imperfection has released the beauty within. What are your thoughts?

Beauty is certainly complicated, misunderstood and always criticized. It's funny how we are all trained somehow by our outward appearence as to how we perceive the world, others, how we cope with emotions, acceptance, how we judge-if we judge.Good looking people will realize their looks will open doors, average looking people will soon realize they have to be charming, witty, intelligent to open doors and those with intelligence will realize they can open their own doors. Our looks can be a blessing, a curse, certainly they are our first impression and sometimes the last. Lucky are those who have it all, looks, personality, intelligence and wit. But really what is more important? Well I suppose that depends on you. If you go to a bar the best looking girl will be the success there, in university, intelligence would be the important trait as well as personality. Although I'm sure looks will get some extra credits. If you walk into a crowded restuarant without a reservation, looks my win there as well and get you in. Walk into an upscale clothing store, looks will win out there as well. Applying for a new job, yes your credintials, experience will be the importan factors, lets hope, but depending on whos hiring, looks may win out there too. Yes our veneers are fleeting and short lived but certainly important to many. We are trained early on that anything "pretty" is better, nicer, the thing to be. It takes time, living, before most of us realize the shallowness of that. That personality, character and wit go alot further and are far more entertaining than just a glossy exterior.As someone who has never been attracted to goodlooks I still realize their importance and strengths. Lets face it we live in a shallow world, most are seeking beauty in one way or another. They either want it or to be around it so it is nice to see threads like this reminding us that there are some who see beyond it and do realize there is more to a person than their outer shell, especially here.
