RG... it now goes to the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights (JUST). The committee will meet whenever scheduled - we are not privy to it at the present time. Silver lining??? The vice chairs of the committee are Françoise Boivin (NDP) Gatineau @FBoivinNPD and Sean Casey(LIB) Charlottetown @SeanCaseyMP ... both of them have been absolutely AMAZING and extremely SUPPORTIVE in their interactions with sex workers and clients over the past week and a bit on Twitter. One notable mp member is who is NOT on the committee - Joy Fucking Smith. Eve Peclet (NDP) @evepeclet, Pierre Jacob @PJacobNPD (NDP) also are on the committee and also voted against the bill. There are 6 CPC members on the committee. This is where we MAY be able to make headway. I urge you to take a look at Francoise Boivin Twitter feed... she is ENGAGED. Sean Casey is also ENGAGED. They DO HEAR OUR VOICES!!!!!! Add them to your twitter feed and engage them. The following are the CPC members of the committee who may also be on Twitter Mike Wallace (Chair) @MikeWallaceMP Patrick Brown @brownbarrie David Wilks @DavidJohnWilks Bob Dechert (no twitter) Robert Goguen (no twitter) Kyle Seeback @KyleSeeback Get involved!

Not NEARLY as much fun as the blogs from all the women but here is my first ever blog entry. My letter to the MP's.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/should-the-prostitution-law-debate-hear-from-johns-1.2675048

Joy "Anti-fucking" Smith I believe ? Had sex 6 times I imagine and 6 kids just cause God told her to.

Thanks OD for the information! For those who might wish to submit a brief to the committee, a link to the processes and procedures is here. I have written to the clerk of the committee asking for deadline dates for the submission of briefs. When I hear I shall post it on this thread. For groups and witnesses who might like to appear in person, I am not sure how to get yourself invited to participate.

Greetings Gentleman, I want to know what you crave and to see you release what clutters the mind. I long to entice you, arouse you and delight in unraveling the secrets touches your body hungers for... . I seek longer engagements to allow us to fully relax without the trouble of the time. On that note, I do not offer sessions under the hour. I'm located in a private upscale and convenient haven in the west end. My hours this week: Tuesday-Friday 9am-2:30pm. My recommendations: http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthr...t=sensual+erin Please send an email to [email protected] or by pm. I reply to all inquiries and look forward to hearing from you! Yours, Erin xoxo

Don't bother. It's just that diamond goddess girl again, back to her shenanigans, stealing pics and what not. Avoid this one like the plague

Pics match and I had a good time. English was easy to understand. Gfe and Ymmv.

I've had a few people ask me what I think about the proposed legislation. Of course I'm upset at the disrespect and disregard that Pete, Steve and the cons have shown towards sex workers placing them in greater danger than ever before under the guise of protecting our communities, how friggin noble. How safe are those communities going to be with dead prostitutes in them ? Those who know me well know that I use humour as a coping mechanism. This is what I think about the whole sorted mess. Amazing how these guys with their fancy high priced education can't see the difference between sex work, prostitution and human trafficking.

Well written sir.

Broken bones. No fun at all.

Geez, brings back memories. I'm not a fan of football...can't stand the game actually but met a few of the players. Stand-up guys. I remember attending a Grey Cup parade in downtown Ottawa in the mid-60s. Russ Jackson was on a float along with a bunch of other guys. They won the cup that year. Met Tony Gabriel a couple of times in the course of business. Now there was a true gentleman. A fellow who understood PR. Even though I didn't understand or appreciate the game, I wished him luck on a game he was playing that evening & he was very gracious and receptive to well wishes. Met Ian Mofford - Running Back/Wide Receiver. He used to fly out of the flight school I used to work for. Decent fella. Had some nice conversations - not about football.

Joy Smith is a powerful and influential MP, do not underestimate her. She says things like "The Criminal Intelligence Service Canada estimates a single Canadian victim of sex trafficking is worth approximately $280,000 per year to her pimp. This is big money, and our youth are their targets." People read that and think every SP is making $280k for a pimp. Speaking on bill C36 "This is a blow to the many brothels masquerading as massage parlours that saturate our communities" Parlours are in big trouble. Smith is very good at painting a black and white picture: ALL prostitutes are victims, ALL customers are exploiting them.

I'm not sure that this is the best indicator on which members to focus on. There are many reasons MP's do not vote on bills. It COULD be that they don't support it or it could be they had other things to do. Bottom line is the Conservatives have a majority. I doubt any Conservative would put their political life on the line for this Bill.

To coincide with the launch of our first satellite operation, we are launching our new cologne. Fat Bastards BBM "Charming as Fuck" for Men, and for a limited time, "Charming as Fuck for Men premium (infused with holy water and Joy Smith's salty tears)" Of course both come with the unmistakable scent of true manliness in the FB BBM tradition... Bacon. Don't accept imitations like Chanel's "Sent comme un homme charmant de graisse" or Armani's "Holy Cannelloni dat fat guy smells like a pig" or even Calvin Klein's "Almost as Charming as Fuck but for Vegans".... coming soon... and so will you.

To name a few that I have seen... Since I am also an ass man... Victoria(victoriasecrt) from paradise, sabrina(sabrinaxox) from paradise (easily one of my favs), and Claire heavens. All of which have amazing bodies. Paradise is in the west end in bells corners (10-15min drive from carp) and have showers large enough for a party and a hot tub room. Claire as mentioned is downtown and easily accessible from around the city. Enjoy yourself, and be good if you go see one of these women! Zoro

But if you never ask, you'll probably just carry on doing it wrong...

Not a jewel she is diamond. Met her for a one hour session and was totally impressed. Met me at the door in a flimsy little number that didnt cover a whole lot, just kind of teased and pleased. Greeted me with a hug and a kiss, we chatted a bit about the perils of air travel and lost luggage. Very personable and friendly, smiles a lot, very pretty. I proceeded to have a quick shower and when I came out of the shower she was on the bed in all her glory. I won't go into a detail but guys, I had fun. She is here for a couple of day she and then off to Brandon

I think that likely all, but certainly most MAs are fine with msog....I think it is even encouraged....just stay in your time....enjoy

Just wanted to say that after being on Cerb for 4 years and meeting many SP's and MA's over the years that I have learnt a lot about the women who have chosen the is path as a career. Most of them have chosen this career because they enjoy the independence and financial freedom that it can bring. But this job is not easier. Many of them have families or kids to support. University educations that they are trying to complete. This job is demanding as it involves many hours of marketing, emailing, posting ad's answering text and PM's. Trying to get hotel, schedule appointments. The women who are most successful at this job are the one's that truly enjoy their work and like to please their clients. I've met many of these women and have truly enjoyed my time with them time and again. This can be a stressful time as they need the time to prepare the room and prepare themselves for each encounter. Some day's it can busy and other day's not. Some day's they meet some really fun gentlemen and other days, maybe some creeps. Some have been robbed, or beaten up or cheated. Sometimes there no shows or other girls that make fake appointments. This is a hard job. Sometimes it is physically demanding. They give their most intimate moments. It takes a certain kind of woman to handle the emotions and sexual activities that this job may entail. One SP, told me that it's not the physical aspect that is tiring. But the emotional aspect. To be able to pretend to enjoy themselves when they are not. She was saying that in this job she had to be the giver all the time and that most of the men were takers. Her Job was to give them pleasure and most men just used her to get as much pleasure for themselves. These women deserve more, they deserve to be treated kindly and with respect. Respect their time and their contact protocol. Be a gentlemen and be clean. Do not try to negotiate their rates, or push them for more then they are willing to offer. Give them a massage to start, make it about them in the beginning. They may have had a hard day, and appreciated a little kindness and tenderness and relaxation. Talk to them, they are people also, not just objects of your lust. Treat them well and with respect and kindness. I've been told by them, that it doesn't matter how old or what you look like. As long as you are a gentlemen and clean, you will be treated well. Remember, that they are there to make you happy and are providing a very intimate service, so you should appreciate they company they provide. If the chemistry and connection are there, you will have a great time. If the connection is real, it pays to return for repeat sessions. I have repeated many times with many of the women, and have found that each session get's better and better, as you get to know each other and are more relaxed with each other. I have had several good friendships developed over the years and have maintained them. Just wanted to say this to thank you to the women of Cerb for the fun and kindness that they have given us men over the years. I hope to meet many more of you over the next few years if I can :) Remember guys. Be a gentleman, be clean and respectful and you shall be rewarded. Oh yeah, one more thing. The woman should always cum first :)

I'm sure it's very common for members to miss votes for a variety of reasons. If the Government thought there was a chance they would lose then all of the Conservative members would have been present you can be sure.

I'd like to see them knock off the use of 'johns' to refer to clients of sps. For one thing, it diminishes the real business relationship to put a stimatizing label on what is a financial transaction. In any other situation, you would be called what you really are: customers, clients, etc. Plus, to me, it is the fact of the money that levels the field in the sexual services transaction. Some men are able to coerce sex out of an employee they work with, who works under them. They are trying to equate sp/client transactions in the same way, that the fact of it being sex is what makes the imbalance. The start with a false premise, that there is imbalance like there would be in a sexual harrassment situation, but that is false because this is a situation where the services are already being offered, for a fee. Failure to pay the full fee or any fee, for services provided, is imbalance, but anything under the terms and conditions required by the sp is not. it is interesting the article was posted today, and now has over 600 replies lol. Why did they ask everyone except sex worker rights organizations? I think, Lowman and Atchison both need to be heard at the committee meeting. They have relevant info, the church lady groups do not. Nor do any abolition organization, because they are not on the front lines. A few years ago, the Real Women organization was one of 16 organizations invited to speak to a senate committee on prostitution. That group has absolutely no connection to sex work, not even in the realm of 'rescue'.

lauren as well

A new member CERB needs help. I am looking for someone in Ottawa who is expert in providing a long HJ. A few years ago there was a gem in Montreal who provided this service. She called it tantric massage although I am not sure this was a correct name There was only a few minutes of back massage then she asked you to turn and started playing with Mr happy. Kept you on the edge for 50 minutes. Ignored you begging her for release. She used her skill full hands and her nipples to keep it hard and exactly before you explode stopped it.... The explosion at the end was unforgettable....l search this site and the post related to tantric were old...i am looking for the same experience in Ottawa/Hull region from a decent masseuse. Thanks for your recommendations.

From Eva Pearl's latest album :

You know I think it well may be a great idea for you fellows to open another lodge and may I suggest a Maritime location. Perhaps PEI? Guys I have had the extreme pleasure of meeting most of you. Now while you are all hunks , gorgeous and great in bed, well some how guys you lack business skills. I suggest PEI as MN2 resides there and I am sure he can assist you with helping you achieve your goals. You know he is a teacher and there were very few he could not reach. He has already presented you with some suggestions you did not seem to pick up on. We Maritime women are helpful as well. I'm sure Sophia, Megan, Midnight and myself would be happy to lend a hand in getting you going. Perhaps a little help with your décor, clothing and just general presentation? Be open minded and give this some thought, we are but a PM away .

Kudos RG!!!

Awesome, RG.... and well-deserved!

I'm a bit late to the party but... congratulations, Pete. And in particular, thanks for all the fantastic recos you've written; I've found that your recommendations are definitely worth a little extra consideration ;)

This might actually work in our favour. Aside from wanting to be one up on the SCC, it's rather odd that the Cons framed their legislation in this manner. E.g. (to appeal to their base). I would suggest that they've got their base in their pocket, as who else would they really vote for? If all the Cons really care about is staying in power, they should have appealed more to mainstream society,and concentrated on winning the swing voters. It's clear that most Canadians are in favour of decriminalization, even if they don't approve of the industry. It's the principle that's wrong here - trying to legislate morality, passing a bad law in the name of politics, Harper's continued attempts to turn our democracy into a dictatorship etc.. These are the issues voters will rail against in the next election. Hell, even the Conservative party is divided on the issue. Moreover, they know the new bill would never pass constitutional muster, and yet they are hell bent on ramming it through anyway! They are content to make life harder for prostitutes, even if it means some will die. The Conservatives will have blood on their hands from the very people they are supposedly trying to protect. It doesn't get anymore hypocritical than that. Government should take the same approach to prostitution as they did with the abortion debate - hands off! Additional Comments: One more thing... they've since raised the ire of print publications everywhere, since they stand to lose a great deal of advertising revenue under the new proposed law - more votes that won't be going to the Conservatives!

This thread is pure gold. Thanks for this :)

No one was asking for graphic reviews. It was "a question for the ladies", the ladies who are not comfortable with sharing are free not to respond. I might expect this response in the BBJCIMSW thread, but I am surprised to see it here. But then again, to each their own :)

You guys have a dating site apparently http://www.fatbastarddating.co.uk/

Hello again, I'm not quite sure who gave us the definition of RACISM but within the definition there are highlighted words. I didn't follow them, instead I looked up PREFERENCE. In this definition it mentions the right to choose as well which I found interesting was sexual preference. It spoke of the homosexual, heterosexual and another one that I forget (wouldn't let me copy and paste). Oh bisexual. What I found interesting was the fact that these terms also fit into this whole discussion. I love women and only women. Now picture this, I'm a male escort (a few of you ladies actually said I should be, :)). I write in my profile "NO HOMOSEXUAL OR BISEXUAL". Just the fact that I wrote that it makes me "RACIST" by definition alone. So am I or am I not? Now I have nothing against homosexual or bisexual. Some of my friends are including people on this site. That is called PREFERENCE, not and I emphasize "NOT" racism. My two sense are write whatever you want, it is your right to do so. I spent over 29 years following in my Grandfather's footsteps to uphold our way of life. I for one, see nothing wrong with what was said. You want to see racism, go to a country where the population hates you just because your there and no I'm not talking the fancy resorts that I know some of you go too. I'm talking out in the country side where it's dangerous and is strongly advised not to go and only go places with tour guides. There's a reason people carry guns. My two cents, actually my twoonie's worth. Rob aka loner.

My 6000 post is dedicated to a special person that I'm glad I got to meet and spend many memorable times together and look forward to more as well. Past Thursday June 12, Delilah and I met once again, however this time I planned a more memorable time for the two of us. I booked this getaway for us over three weeks ago with Delilah's total agreement and willingness to spend a overnight with me at a very rustic,quaint four star Hotel, equipped with king size bed, adjoining bathroom suite with jacuzzi tub,shower, our package included dinner and breakfast. Our friendship and business relationship is and has been built on trust and being quite honest with each other so we both felt very comfortable in having this getaway together. We arrived at the hotel and checked into our suite, it was not long after marvelling the room, the views, the hotel and room facilities were outstanding, the views are breathtaking of nature, it was not long before we were natural by us slowly undressing each other and then made passionate love on the king size bed. We spent the next two and half hours in the room simply enjoying each others company, talking,sharing,making love,cuddling it was very sweet, we shared a couple of drinks and had some good laughs it was a total relaxed sweet time. We finally showered, and got dressed for dinner Delilah looked absolutely stunningly gorgeous as always, we were semi causal dressed for dinner. We walked into the dining room I had requested through booking of dinner a table away from main dining lounge and to be in a area of a view, intimate, and the table was, we had a view of beautiful nature, quaint,quiet where we both could enjoy our conversation and being flirtatious with each other. We were served a four course meal, and we both enjoyed the meal very much, we laughed,we shared stories,we held hands, stared into each others eyes, and the dinner lasted two hours of having great social time together. After dinner we went for a short walk to enjoy some fresh air, having a enjoyable time together,putting our arms around each other. We returned to our room, and we decided it would be a great idea to use the jacuzzi tub. We had bath together it was soothing it was relaxing especially to have a beautiful woman laying against your body in the tub,some sensual foreplay for us both, lead us to drying off and heading back to our huge bed. We made love again, and again, we gave each other massages (Delilah was kind enough to bring some massage oil) I love giving Delilah an massage such a beautiful body to worship. We were finally exhausted and it was time to get some sleep. In all that space in a king size bed, it was so nice to end up in a little space together, simply holding each other,cuddling,caressing and falling asleep together, having a beautiful woman hold you tightly throughout the night was so very pleasing to this guy,and I will not forget it. In the morning we had some additional play time together and I never get tired of making love to Delilah, it was romantic,sweet to wake up in the am and pleasure a gorgeous lady. We showered up, pack, checked out, said our good byes for now, as I like to say so long for now, as we will see each other again. We went on our ways, as I drove off I could smell her scent in my clothes, I smiled for my drive and had visions of our time replayed in my mind so many times as I headed out of for a three day weekend myself I just got back tonight. Thanks Delilah, for one very unforgettable evening that I thoroughly loved every second of. You're the best babe! Oh and I wouldn't hesitate in booking another getaway, in fact I'm looking at it for another future date if Delilah and I can arrange dates in the not to distant future. ;)

I'm a huge hj amateur and yes it is an art that not everyone can masterise. Unfortunatlt I offended some women when while we were exchanging email to make a rendez-vous and i told them i only wanted to receive a hj some were insulted by that, and no i wasnt trying to lower the amount they were asking for there time i was fully aware of it and ok with it or i wouldnt of contactes them. There is a classic hj video on almost every porn site where this lady is in between this guys legs and give an amazing hj alot of teasing and eye contact if i could find that around Ottawa I'd be very happy :)

I've created a good backup plan. Been making some good contacts knowing there was a possibility of this happening, so now I have some phone numbers of those I can trust to keep things hush, hush. As Old Dog said in another thread, this is just a bill and the Conservatives are taking loads of heat over this. It may be a popular bill in Alberta with their bible thumping voters, but in the rest of the country people are disgusted by this. Considering you need to win Ontario and Quebec to win the election, they are pissing off the wrong voter base. Either way, if I get fed up with all of this, I can just pack up and move either home or somewhere else.

The police had that ability and power under the old law. They could have gone after agencies and ladies working at an incall locations for example Why didn't they...yes they had the ability and power, but not the resources...this bill hasn't given the police any more resources has it? Not to mention irrespective of the law, escorts operated discretely. It's the street level prostitution I foresee will still be the focus of LE, not escorts/courtesans operating discretely Just my opinion RG

It's all relative I think, some guys on here won't care and kudos to you, and I'll enjoy reading your recos but for some it's a big issue. I think for myself that I would have to think long and hard about continuing. I do have lots that I want to do in life and I would hate to have to jeopardize my future with getting caught. I would have to see how things play out. But if caught by the police it will be much easier for them to charge you with a crime and maybe end up on the sex offender's registry (possibly)... Something I would never want! Yes I think the cops will have bigger issues than catching "pervs" but to not think they will set up stings or entrapment of people, is living in a bubble. The police will have the ability to do what they want and the power... Thanks to this bill. To those that will continue in this lifestyle, you got big balls ;) Lol. And wish you luck. But some of us will be looking from the sidelines when this comes out. But for now enjoy! As I hope to until things change.

As I said in other threads this law will hurt.. it will make me less willing to meet / contact new SP'S but i don't see it as the end. The risks for clients are going to increase so i think that will make life much harder on SP'S who may be pressured to do more for less with less than ideal clients because demand will decrease especially on the short term. Those of us who stick it out will find ways to manage...just like they do in US. Just my opinion

Well I wonder how many who are thinking of swearing off seeing companions in the future saw ladies from agencies or went to a lady's incall to see her (just as examples) which was illegal Unless they are really serious (ie increased money/resources to LE) about enforcement I'm not going to worry Maybe I'll celebrate the passing of the bill into law by discretely contacting a special lady and we can celebrate together ;-) RG

Everyone is lonely at some point it's the cause that should be the important thing. There are those who aren't comfortable in their own skin or with who they are so lonely follows them. Other have picked the wrong people to be their friends so find themselves lonely in a crowd. Some find it a challenge, for whatever reason, to sustain a meaningful relationship. All these require personal change in order to change the circumstance. In these, an SP might make a very short term impact but in order to maintain it, it would cost a lot of money. It would be like an addiction, you crave to feel better even if for a short period so do anything to get that "hit". Definitely not healthy. Now for those who are between relationships or have a very healthy social life, content with who they are, adding an SP to their lives as a companion, then yes, very much a way to cope.
