Firstly, I was speaking about NOT openly disclosing your previous employment as an SP....simply being "known" to the employer. Secondly, don't take me too seriously! ;) Every single one of my posts should have a disclaimer that reads : "BEWARE OF SARCASM AHEAD" You had a firstly too, where's your secondly?

She states 20 calls who RESPOND to her ad... $1000 a day would mean she sees an average of 3-4 men per day.

If you visited her incall location, you have her address....slightly more potentially dangerous information than your first name, wouldn't you say? My home address is QUITE real to me.

Just wanted to point out that if you have tattoos and post pictures with them showing, your publicly displaying your identity just the same as you would with a face shot. I understand the reasons why some SPs don't post their faces (or tattoos), and that is their choice and they have every right to continue doing so. But as Emily J stated earlier in the thread, some of us are open with friends and family about what we do, and have no reason to mask our identities. Since face photos seem to not be a deal-breaker for most gents, I guess it's just a bonus when a girl does have 'em! ;) And out of curiosity.... How many gents here would turn down hiring a potential secretary (just ONE example) whom they know to have previously been an SP? I just don't see any man on earth saying this to any woman: "I'm sorry, I cannot hire you because I've seen you in a porn flick before" YA RIGHT! If anything, I'd be more worried about my boss expecting "extras" that aren't part of the job description....

..::w i n k::..

I think what has some of the SPs on your case really bad is that you are assuming any SPs will negotiate their rates. Do not assume ANYTHING ever as assuming makes an ASS out of U and ME. Best response I give to your post is CHECK THEIR WEBSITES. If a lady states her rates are non-negotiable and you try to negotiate, don't expect to hear back from her. I think that was the whole point of this damn thread and somehow that got lost in the chaos. My rates are non-negotiable. I will not bend them, EVER. Does that mean I will black list anyone who inquires politely? NO. I'm not naive enough to think everyone wants to spend 3hrs reading up on me just to find out. Some guys do, great! I imagine, though, that if i was a guy....who's horny RIGHT NOW....I'm not about to go read 6 pages of a lady's etiquette guidelines before getting my dick wet. So based on that information, I see politely inquiring as to my rates should not be a faux-pas and although this comment might get me in trouble i'm going to say it anyways: I'm here for the customer, not just his money. I chose this profession to get laid and get paid. Seems to me some people chose this profession for money alone and it shows when you cannot answer a damn question to a potential client without saying "read my goddamn website u blacklisted fool". Just mho.... And I know comparing other businesses is frugal to many of you but, honestly, does McDonald's cut you off for asking how much a big mac sandwich is? Cause it is listed on their menu board, they shouldn't have to tell you....right? PFFFFFF...lmao! side note: For every guy who posted in this thread, there's 125 hobbyists (this is an estimation) who didn't post. Let's try and remember that. I have received many PMs regarding this thread, from people who happen to see things they way I do, however they don't post becuase of the negative and condescending reaction from those of you who feel it is necessary for us to see things your way, to make us change our ways and be more like you... I do not try to push my business tactics on other SPs, but some of them feel the need to tell me I am wrong in how I do things. Worry about yourselves and let me worry about me. Everyone will do things differently, and because some SPs do negotiate, men will try to. If you have a problem with the types of questions you deal with in this profession, perhaps you need to find other employment, might I suggest NOT in customer service. And as for the stats posted earlier in the thread... .... If you counted my vote as "YES to negotiating" you can change that. I am a NO, but I am also a NO to blacklisting a client for asking. That's where you and I saw things differently. Here's a little more accuracy for those "stats": # of SPs who didn't post for YES - unknown # of SPs who didn't post for NO - unknown # of Hobbyists who didn't post for YES - unknown # of hobbyists who didn't post for NO - unknown Add those numbers to your spreadsheet and let me know how that works out, equation wise. What you wanna do is take the # of posters for each side of the fence, and divide that by the number of CERB members. Then get at me with what percentage that was.

I always use the Chimo when hosting my little "parties" because it is close to my east end home, minutes away from downtown via the 417, 3min walk to St laurent shopping center...very discreet, nice enough suites ( I don't know about their regular rooms).... prices are decent...There is a restaurant/pub in the lobby etc.

ORIGINAL POST: In the original post (shown above) you decided it was wrong for clients to politely ask. You spoke for everyone on that. Above you state that politely inquiring is the same as ("akin to") negotiating, which you had already named a "not acceptable" action. I disagree. as my last post suggested, I would only find a gentleman rude if he pursued after I clearly stated the word NO. And keep in mind, my entire post was not directed at you personally, it was a general reply to the thread and intended for everyone involved. I felt it was necessary to voice that not all SPs think the way this very one-sided conversation was going. I especially hated this part: Have you been with these women yourself? If not, I would avoid speaking on what you can get for $80. And know that any reply made to this particular comment WOULD BE directly aimed at me as I do offer a "special" at this price once a month. And for those of you who think I should not offer such specials, that this behavior is what leads to "higher-end" (I had to put that in quotation marks because it's not the term I would have used) SPs being "low-balled" then I simply say to you: Until a day comes when anyone tells you that you MUST offer specials, do not presume to tell others they cannot/should not. If "special rates" don't work for you, don't offer them, but your own rules are yours to follow. Yours. And please do not again presume what magnitude of service I (or any other ladies) offer... I am kinda taken back and incredibly insulted by your thinking that your rate alone makes you a "better SP" than I (or other SPs). That was slightly off topic. My apologies. The real matter here is reality. The reality is that unless NO ONE "bends" on prices, people will always ask! DEAL WITH IT! It is how a potential client reacts to the "no" that should classify him as rude/not rude. Again, I do agree with you all that if you advertise your rates, say they aren't negotiable then there is nothing wrong with being angry at the guy and blacklisting him. HOWEVER! Politely asking if XXX service/time is available at XXX amount of dollars should not have created such an uproar. Which I might ad, in conclusion here, is exactly what the OP suggested should never be done. Good day.

My 2 cents: Many ladies do offer special rates when things are "slow" or like myself offer a reduced rate when nature gets in the way of FS...Does this make me a bad SP? No, I don't think so, and neither do the people who book that special. We don't all do things the same way, and if you do things differently, feel free to continue doing what works for you... but DO NOT imply that negotiable rates are wrong for EVERYONE, only yourself. As said previously in this thread, your voice is yours, not that of all SPs. Don't wanna be bargained with? DON'T REPLY. Asking about reduced rates/specials isn't a crime, but if the lady advertises non-negotiable prices then you can expect her to get angry about it. Continuing to bargain AFTER being told no is just annyoing. What else is there to discuss? End of story.

Good thing I do my workouts at home... if I did go to the gym, I'd probably get kicked out for being a creeper! RAWR! I could watch men workout and sweat ALL DAY! <3

Well then! Here's a bunch of wetness for ya! I even threw in a lil Gosling ;)

Yes it finally let me in, other members in the room suggest this occurs when the room maximum (20 people?!?) is reached. No offense guys but if your presence prevents others from using this feature, I think your time allowed daily should be limited. Seems unfair to be not allowed in when only 20 out of 1000's of people are using it :(

Has anyone ever epxerienced this: trying to login to chat and it stays stuck on the "initialization" screen.... HELP?!

I keep trying to login to chat but it stays stuck on the "Initialization" screen... It did this twice, then restarted my browser... It did it again, I restarted PC... I decided this time to leave it alone a while in case it was just being "slow"... 10mins later, still stuck on initialization.... WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!?! HELP!?!?!

If it is against the rules to save a lady's photos, mod should make it so that you cannot right-click and save photos, which you currently CAN do without needing to screenshot. I have seen websites where this is disabled and if you truly want the photo you have to screenshot it...Making the disabling almost useless as I'm sure most people know how to screenshot ANY internet page...And yes, it is possible for someone to print screen while you are on cam and they will have a saved photo of whatever your cam was showing the instant the photo captured the screen. And for the record, a client you "know" also can (and probably would be able to) capture the screenshots of your cam. As for the comment made in regards to having a copyright logo in the bottom corner....Too easy to crop it out! What you need is a banner logo across the center of the image, diagonally. Next to impossible to remove its existence, yet also still possible to mask. If you are worried about photos of yours being shared/taken/stolen whatever you wanna call it, keep them off the internet COMPLETELY, period. NOTHING else will be 100% safe.

I know this is going to sound rude because my straightforwardness always sounds rude in text ( as opposed to in person where you would see me smiling and hear the sarcasm in my voice that is often missed in written word ) ... ...anyhoo here goes: Tell that guy to stay away from the reco section of cerb. There's lots going on in Genereal discussion area... He should also stay away from threads asking for recommendations I suppose. Does he expect you to not allow reco's? Sorry, I thought he was a client, not a BF....then again, no BF of mine ever dictates what I do either, so... It is not your fault or problem that he cannot cope with his reality, that of course being that he pays for a service and other people do too. "Oh you don't like reading reco's of me? DON'T READ EM! kthnxbye"

Please note, if you are not comfortable publicly displaying interest, please do PM me! :)

I love multiple male partners in fact I do it as often as I can! Welcome to the poly world! For those of you who are currently unaware, there are social groups here on CERB for this type of play! May help you find willing partners: 3somes group: http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/group.php?groupid=175 Poly Party Group : http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/group.php?groupid=19

Fly by Anal ( night )

I love getting my feet rubbed!!! <3

I've already posted this in the bisexual group, but thought it was appropriate to add here also... If you aren't already aware, I have a fetish for multiple male partners. I host "parties" once a month, and many of the interested persons have asked about bi play, so thought I'd see who'd be interested in joining the next one! So far, my gang bangs have all been about "heterosexual" play, but I have had one bi 3some in the past that got me very excited :D I would be looking for a minimum of 3 participants, maximum 5 or 6. Please note: I will be the only female present. Any interest?

meeeeeow....

They both claim to have unchecked the box, but neither touches on FR's mention of the drop-down menu + click "go" thing....the second part needed to TRULY unsubscribe to email notifications. Or just do what I do which is slightly less painful : flag cerb emails as spam and never get them to your inbox, only junkmail... Additional Comments: If you posted in a thread, you automatically were subscribed to it. You have 93 posts, I'm willing to bet you posted more than once in some of those 41 threads.

I'm sorry you are having problems, but I vote NO on removing subscriptions. I enjoy this function thoroughly.
