I love Nuru. It is a lot of fun, and incredibly erotic. I had a great nuru session with Nathalie Lefebvre. If you are in Toronto I highly recommend Naughty Nuru. Just google it for the website. Porthos

Happy b-day ... glad you had a fabulous time in Vegas. The perfect birthday city. Porthos

Getting old ... I have both in-laws and my mother all dealing with serious and potentially life threatening illnesses/injuries. porthos

Have to echo the sentiments already expressed. Plan ahead. But even if you do get in touch well ahead of time, many ladies might not be willing to book a late night appointment unless they have seen you before.

it certainly isn't necessary, but a nice gesture. I voted for fruit. I used to have a regular and would often see her over lunch hour, or just after lunch. There was a really nice deli near her incall, so it became part of our rendezvous that I would stop by and pick up lunch for the two of us. We'd play, have lunch in bed, play some more. A very nice way to spend an afternoon.

Happy belated birthday!

Happy birthday Lee ... Hope your mojo is at full strength!!!

congrats and well done. Keep them coming. Porthos

Jabba ... I'm totally with you on the parking thing. I pride myself on my parallel parking. Watching some people try makes me cringe. Porthos

I'm far too old to be of interest to a cougar, and likely to old to have much luck with many MILFs. But I must say i do enjoy looking at the MILFs in the waiting room at my daughter's dance classes. porthos

I think my answer is pretty much the same. I'd likely want to wait and see what sort of "enforcement" strategy police come up with. but I suspect it will be virtually the same as the current one: a focus on street prostitution, clients of underage providers, and situations where there are disturbances/violence/drugs involved. The police simply don't have the resources to go on a blitz of "clients" across all levels of the business. I expect that if the Nordic model were introduced, I'd be a little more hesitant about trying a new provider, and would likely stick to ladies I know and/or whose reputations speak for themselves. But in reality, that is pretty much what I already do. Porthos

I'd suggest reading the threads in the "new to this" forum. Browse the general discussion threads, read the recommendations for ladies in your area, get a sense of what/who you might be interested in, and then have fun. It really is as easy as a phone call/e-mail.

I'm with you ... I have a medical condition that prohibits me from engaging in either of these activities. (I wish!!!!)

evidently the birds will only bathe if the temperature is warm enough that they won't risk freezing. Of course, they probably didn't realize that they could freeze to the metal fence. Porthos

Happy birthday Cato ... hope you are celebrating with someone sexy. Porthos

Happy birthday ... hope you have a great time and treat yourself.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone.

I make a dish in which you cook chicken in the frying pan with olive oil and white wine. When the chicken is done you then stir rice into the reduced pan drippings. so good. If there is left-over I've been known to eat the rice out of the pan with my fingers. If just frying chicken directly, I've occasionally taken bread, and wiped up the drippings with it and eaten it. So good. disgusting habits, but really, really yummy. Porthos

I think this can be easily interpreted in both the ways expressed in the above posts. As haggling and disrespectful, and as a good and beneficial arrangement for both parties. Part of the issue is how often you are seeing the lady now. If you tend to see her twice a month, then maybe the guaranteed commitment to 4 times a month would be seen as beneficial and worth the trade-off in terms of the addition time she would be investing. You also need to be careful of not taking advantage of that extra time i.e. not expecting the level of service that might go with a 2 hour appointment, suddenly being squeezed into the 90 minutes. There is lots to discuss, so i would suggest having an open and frank discussion. You could preface that discussion by saying that you respect her decision either way, and that regardless of the outcome you'll still want to book with her. Take that pressure out of the equation. If you propose this and your continued patronage is seen as a bargaining chip (i.e. if we can't come to an agreement I may have to stop seeing you) then it would, it seems to me quickly become a bad situation. I've had arrangements like this in the past. And if approached properly, can be very beneficial to both parties. But it does need to be approached from positions of trust and respect. When I've had these arrangements though, the effort was to ensure that, while there was a certain "retainer", that as close as possible market rates for services were respected. where I have had a "special rate" structure, it was sometimes on much longer multi-hour dates, with shorter dates still at the usual rate. To be totally honest, though, I'd probably just pre-book the 4 appointments, and pay each time. There are lots of things that can go wrong with this. She gets sick, or has an emergency and isn't available. You can't make it because something comes up and you expect a new time, but she can't fit you in, but also feels she held time for you so is reluctant to now forego other clients in order for you to get your time. Even though you prepaid, if you reschedule to another time she is potentially losing income. These sorts of things can make make for bad feelings. Porthos

forgiveness is a two way street. The other person also needs to be accepting of forgiveness. In other words, take some responsibility for what they did, and be willing to acknowledge the affect of their actions on you. If they can't do that, then it is very hard to forgive unconditionally. when it is possible, though, i think forgiveness should always be sought. Both the opportunity to be forgiven, but also the opportunity to extend forgiveness. My father and I had a very strained relationship. When he was dying of cancer, we had an opportunity to sit and talk, over long periods of time, in ways we never had when he was healthy. We both had a chance to really get to know each other again, in a different way. We both came to understanding and forgiveness, and the fact that we were able to do that before he passed is something I treasure to this day.

impressive ... way to go. Glad you are a member of the community. Porthos

being indecisive often just means taking time to think about something, rather than rushing to judgement. And yes, sometimes that means not being able to decide, precisely because the world is rarely black and white. If more people took the time to reflect, perhaps the world would be a little bit better off. Porthos

Yes, absolutely.

You have been a hugely important member of this community, and I for one, am mortified that we allowed your accomplishment to be overlooked. But your post is also a very important reminder, that the proliferation of "milestones" and congratulatory posts/threads, can have the effect of making people who have made important contributions, feel left out and excluded. You have always been, for me at least, a true CERB goddess, and a wonderfully sensitive, genuine, and honest member of this board. Your contributions have been so very important. Much love to you. And definitely hugs and kisses. xoxo Porthos
