  1. I've owned the Pipedream Products Fetish Fantasy Series 10 Function Remote Control Fantasy Panty https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0038HODYQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_U5Eqxb4XNJCVF and while the vibrating bullet is okay, the panty itself went in the garbage. It was plasticky and ill fitting, and the insertable bit was in the wrong position and too short, so instead of being pleasurable it just felt like being poked in the crotch or wearing a tampon that wasn't in place correctly. I ended up just putting the egg into a condom and inserting it which worked much better.
  2. Hmm, very interesting. I admit, I'm very skeptical for a lot of reasons - starting with Lelo producing a combination of excellent and subpar products but seeming to think very highly of itself as a company, and the fact that there doesn't seem to be any info about this beyond the vagueness that Lelo has shared and the outlets reporting on that. Beyond that, the Gates Foundation provided substantial grants to a variety of innovators to redesign the condom in 2013 and as of yet nothing has hit the market. Condoms are considered a medical device and so the FDA approval process is incredibly stringent, expensive and takes years. (I believe Health Canada has a similar review process.) The only way that I can see Lelo bringing a condom to market this summer is if it's substantially similar to existing condoms and able to bypass the FDA testing requirements - so, not the incredible innovation they're claiming on their site. It was last year that some students made headlines for conceptualizing a condom that changed colour in the presence of certain STIs. There's lots of detailed critiques of the concept out there, but suffice to say that it's not a concept that would actually work from a biomed technology position, and it's actually kind of a terrible idea from a safer sex/social reality position. Particularly for transactional sex, finding out mid-act that one of you has an STI seems that it would substantially increase the risk of violence, and sex workers are already at high enough risk of that. So I do hope that Lelo is coming out with something amazing, I really do, but I'm also not going to hold my breath.
  3. Oh, Winnipeg has one of these too. It's lovely. http://www.thermea.ca/
  4. I ask my clients on my booking form if they have any clothing preferences. Most leave that spot blank! I always go to the door fully clothed, as I wouldn't want someone to see me from the hall, or if the person at the door turned out to be not who I was expecting I don't want to be in a vulnerable position or arouse suspicion. If I'm dressing up in fetish gear for my session, I'll have it on under conservative clothing.
  5. Amanda-Lee, who owns this phone number had her phone stolen from her - do not text or call her number, as whoever has her phone will be the one receiving it, not her. I am posting on her behalf, at her request. I'm sure she will post an update when she is able to, when she gets a new phone or a new number. mod please see the thread in the SP only area for more info, if there are any concerns about this post.

  7. SK: Manitou Beach is a really unique and amazing experience. It's a small resort town on a lake that's saltier than the dead sea. You can swim in the lake or at the large pool/spa that's fed with lake water. They also have a historical dance hall that hosts many fun events. MB: If you enjoy food, while you're in Winnipeg, eat at Segovia even if you do nothing else. It's one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Wellman Lake campground in Duck Mountain is gorgeous, and is right on Glad Lake, which is one of the clearest lakes I've ever seen. You'll probably be coming through too late, but on the off chance the season is still on, going to the snake pits at Narcisse is an incredible sight. It's the world's largest gathering of snakes - thousands (millions?) of garter snakes gather twice a year in giant mating balls. Gimli, MB is a very charming Icelandic town on Lake Winnipeg. Lots of small touristy and historical things and just lovely scenery. It gets quite busy and full of people during the summer weekends. Nopiming Provincial Park is just wonderful if you like being outdoors. Lots of lakes and paddle in camp sites and such. Parts of it may be on fire right now. ON: Kakabeka Falls just outside Thunder Bay is spectacular. In Thunder Bay is the Cascades Conservation Area. It's an easy hike to a stretch of rapids with some spots where you can swim. Eagle Canyon has Canada's longest suspension bridge and zip line. Ouimet Canyon Provincial park is beautiful - the canyon itself has some beautiful rock formations and a micro arctic ecosystem at the bottom.
  8. If you're a submissive, slave or fetishist, I'd love to meet you in my nicely equipped dungeon at my new downtown in-call. I'm available Tuesdays, Thursdays and weekday evenings. I have a large collection of toys, and over a decade of experience honing my skills. I'll create the perfect scene for you, and you can be confident that you're safe in my hands. I have a long list of kinks I enjoy. In particular, I love medical play, electrical play, inflicting pain of all kinds, and really getting into your head. For those who enjoy exploring their feminine side or just love the way women's underwear feels, I've recently added a nice variety of silky and lacy lingerie to my collection in a range of sizes. Bring me your novel fetishes! If you can bring me an idea that's weird and wonderful, and that I've never tried before, I offer a discounted rate for a session focusing on that kink ($40 off my regular rate). I've experienced a huge range of kinks but I would be truly delighted to try out something new. For a very limited time I'm offering a special rate on duos with Carmen Blackwood and Andre Lorelei. They're hot, kinky and very dear friends of mine. You'll love our chemistry and being at the mercy of two (or three) of us. Contact me at [email protected] for website, more details and to book.

  10. Voice is definitely a component of attractiveness. If you have any doubt, I leave you with this:
  11. Lelo Lyla2 sounds reasonably okay now that Lelo sorted out their SenseMotion tech issues. I have a WeVibe3 and its okayish but not great and the range kind of sucks, particularly through clothes.
  12. This is an incredibly complicated question that depends on a lot of individual factors, as well as what we believe it means to be "physically a woman." If you're asking if it's possible for a trans woman to be consistently read as cis (identifying with the gender they were assigned at birth), even by people who are physically intimate with her, then the answer is yes, absolutely. This isn't true for all trans women, and not all trans women care about or want to be read as cis. Not all trans women are interested in bottom surgery. But it is definitely possible for some trans women. Hormones can have a very dramatic effect on the texture of skin, distribution of body fat, body smells etc. Vaginoplasty and labiaplasty surgical techniques can construct genitals that self-lubricate, are orgasmic, and that you could not tell by look or feel were surgically constructed (and keep in mind that there's a lot of variation in the way that vulvas and vaginas look and feel.) Things like genetics also play a huge role in how hormones influence the expression of typically male or female traits. There are plenty of people who naturally look very androgynous, have very little body and facial hair, fine bone structure, high voices etc. And for people who figure out that they're trans very young, puberty blockers can completely prevent the "wrong" secondary sex characteristics from developing. I think in discussions like these we also need to think very critically about our assumptions about what makes a person a man or a woman. Culturally and socially there are a whole lot of assumptions about these categories - assumptions about biology, never mind things like social roles and expectations - that are just plain inaccurate, and fail to account for normal human variation. Biologically, females produce eggs, males produce sperm. That's it - that's the criteria for an individual being biologically male or female. Things like hormones, secondary sex characteristics, genitals, and even chromosomes do not define our biological sex. While we can say that certain characteristics typically go together, we all fall on a bell curve, and those tail ends of the bell curve are still part of normal human variation. So a few examples: Androgen insensitivity syndrome can result in someone who is genetically XY to develop phenotypically female. They may be assigned female at birth, identify as a woman and never even know that they are XY. Poly cystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is very common among women and one of the symptoms for many people is growth of facial and body hair that is coarser and darker than is typical for women. While most people will have either XX or XY sex chromosomes, some people are also only born with a single sex chromosome (X or Y) or three or more sex chromosomes (polysomies - for example XXY, XXX, XXXY, XXXXY etc). At birth babies are typically assigned a gender based on the appearance of their genitals, however, a small percentage of people will have ambiguous genitalia at birth. They may have their genitals surgically altered shortly after birth - usually to resemble a typical vulva (not best practice, and often considered a human rights violation), or may grow up with genitals that don't resemble a typical penis or vulva. They may or may not opt for surgical reconstruction as adults and the gender they were assigned at birth may or may not fit their actual gender identity. Beyond biology, we also should think about how the ways we are socialized influence our ideas of who is a man or woman, and what is feminine. Largely, western ideas of femininity and beauty are strongly constructed around white European phenotypes, cultures, and beliefs about class. It's not just trans women whose womanhood and femininity is constantly challenged, but also women of colour, most notably black women (see all of the awful comments about the Williams sisters' bodies as a prominent example.) These messages about what constitutes valid and real femininity are everywhere and deeply ingrained in our cultures. We are not at fault for internalizing them but I do believe it behooves us to look critically about how these ideas are influenced by things like racism and classism, how they are built on false beliefs about biology, and how these ideas harm and constrain us all. Trans women often bear the most severe consequences - discrimination and violence - of these narrow definitions of who is a man or woman, and what is acceptable femininity, but all women and men are impacted negatively by them. If you've ever felt insecure about your masculinity it's these very ideas at play, and you too would benefit from us collectively reexamining them.
  13. A person's surgical and medical history is literally no one's business but their own. If you are not okay with the possibility that someone might have something in their history that makes you uncomfortable but has zero real impact on you, then you should both do some personal reflection on your internalized homophobia and find a different hobby. Trans women and sex workers, particularly trans women sex workers, are already at incredibly high risk of violence, criminalization and poverty. The idea that they owe anyone any explanations about their past and medical history is ridiculous, and increases the likelihood that some entitled person is going to be violent toward them or out them and damage their business. Trans women sex workers are extremely aware that there are people out there who would be angry if they found out that they weren't cis. The "trans panic" defence has been successfully used by men who murdered trans women, as recently as 2005, in the case of Shelby Tracy Tom (and possibly more recently.) When a trans sex worker decides to not disclose her status, she is making a strategic risk-reward evaluation and business decision. There are very specific expectations that most clients who see trans sex workers have, and that almost always includes having a penis that gets erect. Post bottom surgery, it makes pretty much no sense business-wise for a trans woman sex worker to advertise that she's trans. And for those of you who have outed trans women on this site - and I have seen it happen, stop it. Cut that shit out. You are placing the comfort of strangers on the internet over the real life safety and privacy of a vulnerable woman. That is not an okay or humane decision. Trans women are women. Full stop. No woman owes her clients information about her irrelevant medical background. dragon66_61: Have a little respect, and treat trans women like human beings instead of objects or animals. It is never appropriate to refer to someone as "it" and I can't imagine what would make you think that was okay. If you can't recognize the humanity of sex workers don't see them. Find another hobby and stick with jerking off. 500 Pound Gorilla - being trans has nothing to do with sexual orientation, nor does being a sex worker who has male clients. There's zero reason to assume that a trans woman was having sex with men prior to her transition/work.
  14. Definitely talk to your provider about this, and have them use something different next time around. This sounds extremely unpleasant and unnecessary for you to endure. Oil is also incompatible with polyisoprene condoms, which I wasn't aware of till recently, and is important to know, as polyisoprene is one of the most common materials for non-latex condoms.
  15. I disagree with this framing. I think there's a movement toward being more deliberate and choosey about our interactions with others, rather than avoiding them all together. People may opt to shop online from the comfort of home rather than deal with interacting with strangers at the mall, but for many people, shopping is about getting a certain product into their hands. Human interactions in shopping are at best neutral, and at worst something annoying to be endured. Today we have more options than ever before for ways to engage with others, and while many decry how people are always looking at their cell phones, I think that facilitating interactions with other people is one of the biggest uses of technology these days. I think we are and will continue to see the same trends with how technology interacts with sexuality. There's an unprecedented amount easily accessible porn for every taste out there, and an amazing variety of sex toys for all genders and bodies. We have more options than ever before for getting sexual pleasure without human interactions. Yet many people are still choosing to interact with a live human, be it by seeing an escort, phone sex, or paying for live cam shows. People are not, en mass, abandoning human interaction, just changing up and evolving the ways we get it. I think we're very far away from truly life-like sex robots (we're still solidly in the uncanny valley), and I think that when technology does reach the point where it can mimic human appearance and behaviour well enough to be arousing rather than off-putting (for the majority), rather than using it to avoid human interactions, we're going to see it used largely to facilitate interactions from a distance. For some that may be connecting with a long distance romantic partner, for others, interacting with a remote sex worker. But I don't think that interactions with technology will ever supplant or satisfy our desires for human interaction, which seems to be a majority motivator for people to spend the money seeing a sex worker vs just staying home and rubbing one with some high quality sex toys and porn.
  16. I would decline and explain your reasons. I would also be extremely reluctant to agree to be someone's executor even if there were no issues with how things are assigned. I've done it and it's a lot of work.
  17. There's at least one piece of research out there that suggests that wearing socks during sex (keeping your feet warm and comfortable), increases the likelihood of the-big-o: http://www.sultrydish.com/2013/10/23/sudy-wearing-socks-sex-increases-chances-orgasm/ Something to consider - does pleasure trump style?
  18. Everyone is going to have different feelings on what risks are acceptable to take and which aren't. Others can tell you what the generally accepted recommendations are, but whether it's worth it to you to wait or avoid certain activities is a very personal decision. The recommended schedule for maximum immunity for both Gardisil (HPV) and Twinrix (HAV & HBV) are three shots over the course of six months. Ideally you should complete the vaccination schedule before becoming sexually active. These are preventable infections. But as humans we very often decide that taking on a bit more risk is worth the benefits, and that's a very normal and okay decision to make. I can tell you that your risk of contracting HIV through kissing is non-existent, and the risk from unprotected oral sex is low. Realistically your risks from kissing are HPV and HSV (herpes, which there's a very good chance you already have, as many people get cold sores from casual contact as children), and other stuff that isn't generally considered an STI, like mono and colds. Your risk from unprotected oral sex is primarily around HPV, HSV, syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia. Even "safe" stuff like massage carries some small risk of transmission of STIs like HSV, HPV and syphilis, which are all transmitted through skin to skin contact. Basically, if you're going to be sexually active in any way with another human being (sex workers or non-sex workers), you have to accept that there will be some risk, but this is true of all things in life. The best you can do is educate yourself about the risks and then make an informed decision about how to mitigate your risks and what is acceptable for you for the trade off, which is the fun, pleasure and connection of being sexual with another person. http://www.uptodate.com/home has lots of good information that is aimed at both lay persons and health care provider. Follow through with seeing someone when you feel confident that you understand what your level of risk is and feel okay with that. No one else can tell you exactly where on the spectrum of risk you will fall, but I think that we can all say that you'll have a lot more fun and feel far better about your encounter if you sort out your anxiety about STI transmission before you book. Good luck!
  19. I don't care in the slightest what a client looks like. I like to know in advance if a person has any accessibility needs or physical issues that I might need to accommodate, but my interests in physical descriptions are purely practical and focused on making a session the best it can be. Really, the only physical thing I will take issue with is hygiene, as I feel that, unlike things like weight, race, conformity to conventional standards of attractiveness, etc, hygiene is something that everyone has control over and will directly impact our interactions.
  20. I'm quite explicit always about what I do and don't offer (particularly important as a fetish provider.) If someone was very concerned about discussing specifics in advance of our appointment there is the possibility of just figuring out things when we get together, but the session might not go as well if I don't have time to plan and make sure I have the right equipment on hand. I hope that I can convey to potential clients my legitimacy through the quality of my ads and website, participation in communities and how long I've been around, and that they can understand the value in communicating clearly ahead of time, given the diversity and specificity of kink, and that it is not at all about entrapping them.
  21. I have a weekend opening Saturday morning, 9-noon. For anyone who has been unable to see me during the week this is a rare opportunity that may not be available again for a long time. Join me for all kinds of fetish fun - from medical play, to foot worship, a good firm beating to being humiliated and used, and so much more. I love your pain, pleasure and reactions, and with over a decade of experience in BDSM I know just how to elicit them. Ask about a duo with my sexy, kinky friend Andre, at a special, one time only rate. Email [email protected] to book.
  22. Don't discount BP. Most of my clients find me there. All of the SPs I work with advertise there, and I see many reputable SPs from Lyla also advertising on BP.
  23. That feeling of a genuine connection. Lots of communication - both verbally about what you want, what's working, what feels good, and also non-verbal communication like facial expressions, body language, noises. I love love love strong reactions. Getting to do fun activities that are new to me or very infrequently requested. Obedience. I really love subs who want to do as they're told and who are interested in the ways I experience pleasure, rather than the ways they think I should experience pleasure. Massages - pretty much the quickest and most reliable way to turn me on.
  24. My concerns about a client wearing jewellery are entirely practical - is it going to get in the way, get damaged, or injure one of us when we're playing? If not, it's a complete non-issue for me. I'm not married, but if i were I likely would not wear my rings, again for practical reasons. Many of the things I enjoy are better and safer without jewellery on.
