4 pointsI have had the pleasure of the company of several TS providers. I can say with assurance that each and every one was feminine inside and out. Yes, there are some physical differences and yes those differences vary from person to person. I also find women attractive. In fact, I consider myself pan-sexual with a strong preference for women. If the OP's intention is to pursue a strictly sexual relationship, then by (bi) all means indulge. We live in incredible times. Twenty or thirty years ago, it would have been difficult or impossible to live out a TS fantasy. Today, opportunities abound and with sites like Cerb, research is possible. If the intent is to follow a personal and emotional relationship, then do so with your eyes wide open. As previous posters have said, TS/TG face numerous daily challenges ranging from prejudice to health issues. It is important to both parties if you enter into an emotional relationship, you do so with honest intent. TS/TG members of our society deserve no less respect and care as any other member.

3 pointsEh, depends on who you ask. Some people use transgender and transsexual interchangably. Others see a conceptual difference, though may not all agree on that difference. In my experience, there's often a generational gap in how the language gets used, with older trans people identifying as transsexual and younger trans people identifying more as transgender, regardless of surgical status. People who are not interested in surgery or hormones or who identify outside the gender binary (something other than a man or a woman) often prefer transgender over transsexual. Language is a complicated and nuanced topic that's always under debate and shifting within trans communities. I would always say, don't make any assumptions about a person's body or surgeries based on how their identify, and always respect a person's self identity. Best is to ask what pronouns are appropriate to use with a person, but as a general rule, you should never call a trans woman "he" or "it", and if you're not able to ask, "she" is probably the most respectful assumption to make. This depends on so many different factors, such as your perceptiveness, what type of surgery she's had, how her healing process went, what you might believe is the normal range of variation for vulvas... Surgical techniques for constructing a vagina and vulva are very, very good these days. Often you would never be able to tell that there had been any surgery. You really can't know, unless the people you've been with have told you. A lot of people have an idea in their head of what a trans person looks like, but like with cis people, trans people run the gamut from very feminine to very masculine, and aligning very closely or not at all with mainstream standards of beauty. I know trans women who look like magazine models and I know cis women who naturally grow beards. We get a lot of narrow messages about what makes a person a woman or a man, but in reality, we are all so diverse that there is no one set of defining features that can externally define a person. (Cis just means not trans. So if when you were born they said, "It's a boy!" and you now identify as a man, you're cis. Same deal for baby girls who are now women. It's more respectful to say cis than natural born or real. :))

3 pointsSince you mention pursuing a relationship, it sounds like you are interested in maybe dating this woman, and that she's not a sex worker (or at least you're not meeting her as a sex worker, and maybe you don't know what she does for a living)? So, my comments are based on that assumption - my apologies if it's incorrect, though this should be mostly relevant either way. First, I think it's really important to remember that trans women are women. They may have different bits than you're used to on women, but that doesn't make them any less real women. Like having sex with cis women (cis means not trans), sex with trans women is going to be a unique encounter each time - sex is a dynamic that's created by two people together. It's okay to feel unsure - the important thing is to communicate a lot. Ask her how she likes to be touched and what language she likes when talking about her body. Some trans people have a lot of dysphoria that can be triggered by certain words or being touched in certain ways, so just use your words. If she has a penis, it may or may not get hard. A lot of trans women who have been on estrogen for a while don't get erections any more, without the aid of Viagra or other meds. She also may or may not ejaculate still. She may be a top or a bottom or versatile - definitely something to talk about. Roles may not be quite as easy to assume as they would be with a cis woman. A lot of straight sex between two cis people often defaults to penis in vagina sex without a lot of discussion. You should expect to talk a little bit more about what kinds of sex you two will have, and maybe you'll need to have a broader idea of what counts as sex, beyond putting your cock in a hole (or maybe you won't.) I think it's also really important to think about the experiences trans women have. Like all women, there's a real risk of violence at the hands of men, but in addition to male violence against women, they also have to content with transphobic violence. Recognize that she's taking a big risk with her safety by meeting a stranger off the internet, honour any safety measures she decides to take and be extremely respectful of her boundaries. Trans women are murdered all the time simply because people are uncomfortable with their attraction to them or because people can't see them as human beings. Call her by the name she gives you and use the pronouns she uses for herself (most likely she & her). I'd recommend reading this guide and checking out some other resources, so that when you meet, you can just focus on being your best self: http://www.autostraddle.com/getting-with-girls-like-us-a-radical-guide-to-dating-trans-women-for-cis-women-160269/ Be awesome, be kind and be okay with not knowing everything (but be willing to listen and learn!) Absolutely. Trans women are women, and no matter what she has between her legs now, or in the future, doesn't change that. Dating or having sex with a trans person doesn't change your sexual orientation in any way - if you're a straight guy who's attracted to women, and you find a trans woman hot, well hey, you just met another woman that you find attractive. :)

2 pointsPlease join me in bidding Carrie Moon farewell as she is leaving Ottawa this week to move to the Niagara region. Carrie was one of the first escorts I met back in 2002 when I decided to get back into the business as an indy. She has been a source of inspiration and generosity. She has often gone beyond the call of duty to help me and other ladies in this industry. I will miss her. (Thank goodness for technology). Note: Some people were asking me if Carrie is retiring. Just to be perfectly clear - NO Carrie is NOT retiring, simply moving!

2 pointsHi everyone, I see many ladies here who post their traveling dates weeks, even a month to a month and a half in advance....and sometimes, only few days in advance. Personally, I like to advertise within 2 weeks or 1 week prior to my arrival. I'd like to inquire for myself and other ladies, gentlemen, how much advance notice you need when someone visits your city ? Would you prefer to be notified way in advance (to mark up your calendar and be prepared) or a short notice is enough ? Is there an ideal time for you ? Please do let me know. Thanks in advance! :) Eva

2 pointsyou know what's super awesome? there is finally a subsection for "fun" threads that are completely not industry related ... I get that some of you love them but they were really clogging up the discussion section and some of us only come here to the "general discussions" area for discussions (go figure lol) ... and they were becoming increasingly difficult to find!! Thanks to whoever thought of that!! :D

2 pointsI did :icon_razz: The only thing I can conclude from the single, much smaller data-point was given as a comparison is that the author wants the reader to believe the response to this one was very large. This may or may not bear any relation to where it actually stands in comparison to consultations in general... which was why I asked.
-
2 pointsCan we please stop with the insults and assumptions? As fortunateone pointed out, stating "420 friendly" does not necessarily mean that the provider herself partakes. Personally, I find it inappropriate that one provider is commenting on another provider's ad. Whether you agree with this woman's choice or not, publicly deriding another worker on a public forum is in bad taste and comes across as trying to cut out competition. Focus on yourself, and stop with the judgmental comments.

2 pointsHello everyone, I am new to the site, but not to the industry. I live in the US and have been an avid traveler around the States. I'm now starting to expand my wings outside of the country; I was last week in Saskatchewan. I find this board to be very helpful and wish we have something like it at home; where positive reinforcement and kindness are emphasized. I am happy to be here and I hope to learn more. Thank you!

1 pointNow before I open my mouth I want to say that I love Montreal and the Quebecquois and that this isn't a put down but a sincere question and observation and that there are exceptions, but in general it's my experience independently and when I was involved with services, that Quebec men, especially Montreal men never want to pay "the going rate" for an encounter, they seem to expect more for less when here.... why? A typical response I've always gotten was I can get it in Montreal for $$ so... But if that were the only reason then I'd think that the many other well travelled gents that call and can get it for $$ in Thailand, Germany, N.B or where ever would be saying the same thing?

1 pointOver the last few months I have noticed that there are fewer and fewer discussion threads, and even fewer recommendations being written on our nb page. I know there are quite a few of us not comfortable in posting publicly on here, but if we all don't do our part this discussion board will loose trafic with the lack of content. I promise from this point forward to do my part, and encourage you all to post questions in the discussion board, and even more so recomendations for any of these lovely ladies. The more reco's we have the fewer questions people will post about if they are legit or not. I will give credit where credit is due and thank Sophia from Suite escapes for Megan McLeod for posting regularly and answering any questions people might have. Let's all give a little time to this site. It's a valuable tool for everyone if we all do our part.

1 pointThe lawyer who did the Bedford challenge mentioned somewhere that the Nordic model as it is a ban of purchase legal services, would not hold up to an SCC challenge. I can't remember much other than that, the opinion of others seem to be similar. It is because this is Canada, that sex work is legal, and that the challenge regarding criminalization of the legal prostitution, all these things add up to a scene where the Nordic model as it is presented in Sweden for example wouldn't be able to be used here in the same format. Whether that actually stopped them from doing it anyway is another story. i think where the charter of rights etc would fail is that someone can easily challenge any laws that force sex workers to see all clients, rather than have a choice. now the coercian thing prevents that.

1 pointBracing myself for the onset of major things that suck Began last weekend with Mother's Day, visiting a mother and brother (and sister in law) who are now just mother and brother (and sister in law) in name only And while it's a long weekend, Sunday is the one year anniversary of Dad's last birthday...he passed away shortly thereafter Right now I really feel sort of family less RG :-(

1 pointI met this lovey girl the other day. Gp is mainly girls that left PK. Kathryn was a very nice change of pace, I'm no good at the description part, and the fact that this is my first reco, should give you and idea of just how great she was. Light hearted, positive, BBJ Daty Kissing all on the menu, all of the stuff you know about the agency she left, but with her spin, and it's a winning combination. I've met other girls at GP, and will be going back, very much so. one more thing, Kathryn loves to jump in a hot tub, if that's your thing.

1 pointI'm not arguing the point of SP's not wishing recommendations. I have had encounters with some ladies who wish to keep encounters private and I too respect their wishes if they choose not to have a recommendation (not a review) written. Recommendations after all are written for the lady's business and if she prefers nothing written that has to be respected. That is why each and every recommendation I have written from the very first one I wrote first was seen by the lady for her yay or nay. I never post, nor never have posted a recommendation without the lady's OK. BTW that doesn't mean I post false recommendations, they are all true accurate reflections of my dates with the ladies, just they get OK'd by the lady before posting But I am talking about those guys who don't write recommendations because they think somehow keeping the lady they saw their little secret is a good thing. Why keep a lady a secret? That is counter-productive for this lifestyle Anyhow, a morning rambling RG
-
1 pointWhile I generally agree and I do post reviews... not all SP'S like the whole review process so i always ask 1st....i have been surprised at the number who have not had an interest. Just my opinion.
-
1 pointUnfortunately I see the whole thing as a means for the Harper Government To do the political spin before introducing the new law. Previously on CERB I have been encouraged by others to wait and see what the new law is before condemning the government but i can only say nothing about this feels like it will be positive... Just my opinion
-
1 pointYou're making the assumption that the client or the provider are smoking in the room. Stating 420-friendly does not necessarily imply that the provider is in contact with someone smoking pot; it may be that if someone shows up under the influence of marijuana, that is okay with her. I don't know this lady. I am not going to make assumptions or pass judgment. Whether I agree with her personal choices or not, it's not my place to make those comments publicly.

1 pointJust my opinion. But I think it is the perception that there are "too many eyes" In reality you are really just another face in the crowd, and not someone standing out. And how can room service interrupt unless room service has been called for. As for hassle getting into a hotel, could you say which one. Because that has never been my experience. BTW I've had both incalls and outcalls at major downtown Kingston hotels, four to be exact, not to mention one incall on a well known Princess Street hotel, and then two others in relatively less known hotels/motels back in my newbie days...so I draw from seven Kingston encounters from seven different companions. I add that I used to live in Kingston (I grew up there in the 70's, and worked there in the mid 80's), people I used to work with know me and my current co-workers, I have family and friends of family who live there, so I guess I could be seen by those "too many eyes" The reality is, and again, my opinion, based on my Kingston experience, well hotel experience no matter what city, is that there is more a matter of perception than reality going into a hotel...the reality is your just another client, you only stand out if you make yourself stand out. Anyhow, just my opinion RG

1 pointJust my two cents ....and i'm not an SP so i may have no idea what I am talking about but I'm not sure ths is a Quebec thing.... I think there are disrespectful guys in all parts of Canada who would never think to haggle with other service providers but think it's ok for sex industry workers... Just my opinion

1 pointIf I was a SP (which I am not) this would be my friendly Canadian response: Enjoy your drive back to where ever it is you came from. Have a nice day [CLICK] Welcome to {insert city/province here}! Regulars get the extra perks. Out of towners pay full price! Your not in {insert city/province here} any more. I am sorry, you must have me confused with {inset political leader name here} Sorry! Sorry! Eh! Good day, Eh! Don't get me wrong I like the province of Quebec and all their great contributions to this awesome country -- CANADA. Montreal City was founded in May 17, 1642. Quebec City was founded in 1608. Province of Quebec was founded in 1763. Earliest french explores to Acadia in Canada was around 1604 {?} Many, many other great contributions through out history

1 pointAll forms of electronic payment are the trend for the future and which type of payment a person will choose will always depend on a whole range of personal reasons. For me my number one concern is privacy.... i partake in this industry without the knowledge of my wife and kinda want to make sure she does not find out. Sure I can take a whole bunch of steps to reduce the likelihood of getting caught but any payment method that that has a paper trail (even an electronic one) dramatically increases my risk. I get most of my bill electronically so i don't run the risk of a paper bill being opened and causing a problem but I am also a bit pragmatic and have thought about what happens if I get hit by a car tomorrow.... my will and power of attorney documents give full access to my wife as the person I trust most in the world to make decisions for me... do I really want to leave a record that will implicate me if I am in a coma or dead. Yes of course I want the privacy issue covered to "protect" myself.... but it us also so that I don't hurt my wife now or in the future. So for me Credit cards are way to much detail that has a permanent record. I like Email money transfer and use it a lot for all kinds of transactions so unlike my credit card statement which may have only one or two transactions my bank statement will have hundreds so the likelihood of it being noticed if anyone had access to my account is remote.... I have a PayPal account but would not use it for this type of transaction as it has many of the same issues as the credit card. Direct Debit.... i would use this as it is really the same as email transfer (maybe better) but only if the account name of the SP was discrete. Bottom line for me.... for any 1st time visit with a lady.... CASH is king. Once I know and trust the lady I would be open to Debit or email transfer if that was her wish. All of the above is just my personal perspective about what's right for me.... i understand that for others they will have other interests and that's fine... people should do what works for them. The challenge may be that ladies my get increasing pressure to offer a range of payment options (just like other businesses) we as client should keep in mind that our wonderful hosts have to also meet their own needs which are no less complex then ours. And just think.... our thoughts on all this might change dramatically if Mr.Harper makes the purchase of sexual services illegal.... who wil want a financial record of the "crime". Just my rambling opinion

1 pointWell I did it. She is legit. Very petite. You can tell she is rather in experienced and shy and i would suggest out call or wait till she has a hotel room.

1 pointSeen her once. Nice and friendly very attractive but not a fan my self. Pm me if you want details
-
1 pointPretty much everything that turns me off has been said (negotiating, entitlement, not reading my site). One thing I experienced recently was a gent who messaged me asking me to explain why some ladies ask for references and some don't, and if there were "starter escorts." There was no indication he wanted to book--he just didn't want to do the research himself and expected me to answer his question. Essentially, gents who ask questions of ladies who they have no intention of booking or who don't want to do the research/work themselves is just a huge turn off. And, laziness is never attracted...except on Sundays lol (jk)
-
1 pointthe easiest way to avoid after-hours bs is to simply not answer your phone. I don't book via text unless it's someone I know, and although I have an outgoing message, I have my phone set not to accept incoming voicemails. I post in my ads that generic ("what's up?" type) or rude messages will probably be ignored, and that's often what I do. I don't engage at all with those people, trying to educate them or train them in etiquette isn't fun for me. Turn offs for me are people who try to tell me how to run my business tell me I don't advertise enough (if I'm booked why advertise??) cancel last minute or no show have a sense of entitlement take 17 emails to book an hour visit

1 pointAnything that reeks of entitlement or bad boundaries. Guys who leap right into grovelling or submissive behaviour from the first contact. Until we negotiate a scene, I am not your mistress or your dom. I am your equal. I don't appreciate being non-consensually pulled into a dom/sub dynamic or a potential client trying to start a scene with me over email by being all subby and expecting me to respond all domly like. Save it for when I've agreed to see you and we're in the same room. Being disingenuous about why you want certain activities when we're negotiating. If you really want a certain act or activity because it turns you on, just be honest about it. Don't try and convince me that you just want to do it for my pleasure if I've already told you that I prefer something else. I'm very happy to roleplay being really into your kink and "forcing" you to do it once we're in session, but if you can't be honest and straight forward before we start playing it's off putting. Insisting on discussing the details of our session by phone, when I've made it clear I prefer email for that. I have a detailed email form on my site for a reason, and having the specifics about your kinks, experience level, clothing preferences, fantasies etc in writing is really important for me, so that I can go back and review that information before you arrive. Everyone I see wants something different and the details are usually very important to creating a hot scene. And since I book most sessions well in advance, the odds that I'm going to remember every important detail is pretty slim if we planned everything by phone.
-
1 pointAs a person that is new to using a SP, and also having the disadvantage of being very shy, I find it very difficult to make initial contact. It may be very impersonal but I find it much easier to either email or text for initial contact. If I can't find the SP website I would want to ask for it to learn a much as I can before going any further. To compound matters worse I don't have a smart phone so texting is even more difficult. Don't get me wrong, I understand perfectly what is being said, but for some new customers it can be a daunting experience trying to meet an experienced SP.
-
1 pointMy minimum booking is half an hour, and I only provide a few select services for short bookings. I'm low volume and rarely see more than one client a day, so putting in all the effort to prep my space for less than a half hour doesn't work for me. I have one client who books a half hour and only uses about 15 minutes of our time. He's lovely and I enjoy my time with him, and he gets to satisfy his fetish and have an orgasm. Our encounter needn't be long and drawn out to be satisfying and fun.
-
1 pointHey everyone! I've been lurking under a different name for a few years now, but finally decided to get more... involved. I'd post my own "hey I'm new" thread rather than responding here, but ... I gotta admit, I'm a bit shy! I gotta shake that off soon. :)

1 pointYou telling us you are a twenty one year old IT business owner only shows us that you can tell us you are a twenty one year old IT business owner. Which has nothing to do with seeing a lady. BTW encounters aren't about handling yourself Encounters are about a gentleman meeting a lady for a mutually beneficial time together Yes, in a perfect world generalizations aren't good, but ladies make their profession based on their experience dealing with people. And their experience shows them this age demographic isn't good for their business. It isn't about right or wrong, it's about the ladies do what is right for them So you have to show the lady you are a mature gentlemen, a man the lady would like to have as a client if you want to see her A rambling RG
-
1 pointJust be professional and mature. I am young as well and have seen sps. Don't act like those bravado men and remember to treat everyone with respect just like the way you want to be treated yourself. If they don't want to see you, then as the other member said say thanks and move on.

1 pointI really like what you posted here Cleo. I personally just can't and won't do short encounters like this , but, I don't think that's what these threads about short versus longer encounters end up about anyway (that is the direction this thread has taken); that is, personal preference and mere discussion about the ins and outs of such service offerings. They clearly take on a tone of debasement and abjection and we should all know by now who the stigma largely clings to. To be clear, this statement is not about reducing any one particular comment made by my fellow members to a sum total judgement, but rather, reflects an observation about the overall character such discussion has taken on....and, tends to take on... I was contacted recently by a man who wanted a half hour session with me. When I informed him it was a one hour minimum, he became irate and disrespectful and continued on trying to negotiate obtaining my services anyway...as though I was some sort of irritating pylon to get by to get by to reach his single-minded end-goal. When I told him it was clear to me we were not a good fit due to the hostility I was sensing, he proceeded to tell me I was essentially a 'fat cum dump anyway'. I was astonished. Some say I shouldn't be; that such qualifying, hateful remarks are all around and to be expected here and there if I'm going to remain in the industry. It doesn't matter if it was transparent and pathetic; after all, he'd been interested and turned on enough to contact me! It still hurt, and went to the core of my being. I agree with you, Nicolette (Vaughn), that it is truly upsetting when men seeking our services do not respect our boundaries.....who assert an automatic sense of entitlement to access our time and our bodies without respect for the business model we are going by and the parameters we have set. There is a word for what underpins this; misogyny. This hateful phone call and the length of session of offer, while seemingly a crux of the conflict, was not the problem. So, again, and this is not directed at anyone in particular (at all!), the tone of this kind of discussion so often ends up stigmatizing (mainly) Service Providers while doing little else... Like folks such as Cleo & Kathryn Bardot have highlighted: seek out the services you wish to access, and take the time to inform yourself in advance via ads and personal websites about what is on offer. And, be prepared to accept our answers! And, at the level of our participation on the forum, let's be mindful of how our words and ideas transform themselves from mere subject content and 'free' and 'open' discussion to qualifying value judgments about the relative value of our colleagues, and the customers they bring pleasure to. Service Providers have their reasons for doing things the way they do. It is a highly competitive industry out there. Socio-economic privilege and access to certain markets play a huge role here, as do the personal motivations and short and long term economic goals and needs of SPs in making such determinations about how to run their businesses. Service Providers need our thoughtful care, affirmation and concern. Let's start more threads about that! My two cents! :-) Peace, Anna Additional Comments: p.s. my reference to the helpful commentary offered by Kathryn Bardot on this kind of topic comes from a similarly themed thread entitled "How about 20 or 40 minutes option?"...just wanted to clarify :-)
-
1 pointJust read this now. Respectfully Cleo, it was not my intent to insult other ladies who offer 15 min appts. I was simply saying that it makes me feel a certain way ( i.e. a device for a quick release rather than feeling like I'm being treated like a person) and especially since I DON'T offer these sessions and make it quite clear in my ads. Receiving these requests after those who don't decide to fully read my ad is annoying and shows that they clearly are dismissive of my boundaries. And imo, that is the height of ignorance. Those are my feelings and we are all entitled to what we feel and what we are willing to offer and not offer. While you may feel differently, we are all different and provide different experiences as service providers.
-
1 pointFor some reason I can't help but picture this: But yeah, no judgement on others, to me it sounds more stressful than fun. If I'm going to get to enjoy an encounter, I want to it to be a real experience. Hard to do that when you've given yourself less time than the previews last at a movie.
