I hear you — these conversations can definitely get heavy, and I get why rate discussions used to be avoided. They can stir up a lot of strong opinions, and not everyone engages in good faith. That said, I think when approached respectfully, these kinds of discussions can actually be really valuable. Like any healthy debate or market analysis, they’re not meant to be personal attacks — they’re just part of understanding the broader landscape. Looking at how clients make decisions, or how providers position themselves, isn’t inherently disrespectful. It’s part of how any service-based industry evolves. I truly don’t think anyone should feel offended by these kinds of comments — especially when the goal is to better understand trends, values, and boundaries across the board. We can disagree without dismissing each other. At the end of the day, we all want the same thing: respect, sustainability, and clarity. And sometimes the only way to get there is by having conversations. I am absolutely taping out on this one guys. MsManda, I will defer to your experience.

I agree, level-headed conversations are rare. I feel like I'm pushing my luck with my unsolicited and rarely sought after opinion on this topic 😀. I think we’re still circling around a core tension here. You say you’ve never implied clients who choose based on budget are being disrespectful — but the line gets blurry when we consider your stance on how questions about pricing are received. To be blunt: you’ve drawn a pretty hard line between asking “why does she charge more?” and “is she worth it?”, but in practice, those questions often stem from the same place, someone trying to understand value, not necessarily to diminish it. Let’s be real, every market involves some level of comparison, and while I agree no one is entitled to nitpick a provider they don’t plan to book, the fact that pricing exists at all means people will assess it. That’s not objectification. That’s literally how decisions get made in any business — especially one where the experience is personal, varied, and subjective. You emphasize that providers aren’t blow-up dolls,100% agreed, but suggesting that discussing value at all somehow equates to dehumanization feels like a leap. Intent matters. Tone matters. Blanket framing all public dialogue about pricing as disrespectful just reinforces the idea that some topics are off-limits, even when approached respectfully. That’s not protecting autonomy — that’s policing perspective. No one’s saying a provider owes an explanation for her rates. But if she’s in a public space marketing a premium service, some curiosity is natural — even expected. Shutting that down entirely doesn’t elevate the conversation, it just suppresses nuance. At the end of the day, autonomy cuts both ways. You’re absolutely right, her time, her energy, her sensuality, her boundaries. No argument there. But the same courtesy should extend to those asking questions in good faith. Dismissing every value-based conversation as “Amazon-level objectification” erases that good faith and ironically becomes its own kind of reduction. Appreciate the exchange and will leave you to your thoughts on this topic. Kind regards.

There’s clearly passion behind your words, and I respect that. That said, I think it’s worth highlighting a bit of a contradiction in your stance. On the one hand, you say clients should “book within their means and respect our autonomy,” and that no one should question a provider’s worth. Totally fair. Autonomy and boundaries go both ways. But in the same breath, you argue that clients who choose differently — particularly those seeking more budget-aligned services — are “dehumanizing” women by even comparing options. That seems like a double standard. You’re defending a provider’s right to set her price (as you should), but dismissing a client’s right to assess value — even if he does so respectfully and does his homework. Isn’t that also a form of autonomy? You also call out the risk of “objectifying,” yet imply that women charging less are somehow dragging down the others. That frames lower-cost providers as threats rather than fellow professionals making strategic decisions that suit their goals. Feels like we can’t talk about rates without walking into a moral minefield — and that’s the inconsistency. Ultimately, we should call out disrespect, but not every value-based decision is disrespectful. Sometimes it’s just economics — not a judgment on a person’s worth. Anyway, I appreciate the dialogue. These conversations aren’t always comfortable, but they are necessary if we want transparency and mutual respect in a space that often lacks both.

Hey everyone, Really appreciate the perspectives shared in this thread — it’s obvious people care, and that’s a good thing. Let’s be real: yes, this is a human-to-human interaction, but it’s still a service. And whether we like it or not, if a client doesn’t perceive value in what’s being offered — whether it’s price, experience, or connection — then the product naturally becomes less desirable to them. That’s not a judgment of anyone’s worth — it’s just how markets work, in any industry. At the same time, providers are absolutely entitled to set their own rates, define their value, and work on their own terms. They don’t owe anyone an explanation. Just like clients get to decide what suits their needs and budget, providers get to choose what aligns with theirs. No one’s wrong for asking questions, and no one’s wrong for setting boundaries. So yeah — this isn’t about objectifying or moralizing. It’s about choice. Clients choose what they’re comfortable paying for. Providers choose how they want to operate.

Just stumbled into this post, In my view, business is fundamentally about relationships—relationships built on trust. I do business all over North America, and the boundaries may change, but the foundation doesn’t. Too often, I hear people say 'it’s just business' to justify being cold or transactional. But that’s a cop-out. Business doesn’t require you to discard empathy, integrity, or human decency. If anything, the best business relationships thrive on those very things.

This hobby was once fun and exciting. It seems that everything is so much more complex than ever. I see our wonderful reputable SP's being treated unfairly making it necessary to take steps to weed out the loosers and predators. For me, I rarely engage in seeing SP's anymore and if I do, it is with someone I know and trust, can relax and enjoy catching up with from time to time. The scams far out number the legit.

I visited with Karina over the weekend. Very pleasant and Charming young lady. We had a nice chat over a glass of vodka. Legit SP for sure.

If you had the chance to meet a person with the most perfect attitude, then add kindness, intelligence, humour and roll it up into a beautiful young tall sexy fit package. That person would be Ashley. Definitely my ATF as well. Not even going to share, sorry! If you didn't go, you definitely missed out gents.

It seems on the east coast we review the Reviewed. With so many scams from fake or as i call them counterfeit pictures, bait and switch, e transfer scams and just really poor attitudes no one cares to take a chance on new girls coming into town, at least not on Lyla. I have met some really great people over the years and sadly missed the opportunity as with Charlotte I understand is leaving the business. Tried several times, our schedules just never agreed. A respectful farewell to Charlotte and a thank you to the other legitimate SP's that make the east coast a great place.

She has been here for a few weeks and no reviews. She must be a hidden treasure.

I called her on Tuesday Night, Very pleasant lady but pictures are not accurate at all. A gave her 1/2 hour donation and asked her to leave. Not sue if she is an independent or not but felt really bad for her. She was clearly upset and asked to use the restroom, we spoke for a few minutes, gave her a hug and sent her on her way. I have to say I hate being put in these situations, but in all fairness if you miss represent yourself in this way, it seems to me that you may encounter this kind of reaction or worse. At the end of the day I did not want to hurt her feelings or be mean, and I wasn't. Was hoping for a fun evening!

Christy is a very real and good person. I feel like offering a recommendation for her is an insult, it is just is not required. Kind of like it should just speak for itself. Of course it doesn't. I love that she is a great advocate for animals and all things good, beautiful inside and out. My one visit was more talking than anything else. Loved it.

Ashley is an elusive.. she shares a phone with another SP it seems and can not find any info on her yet. The phone number has had 50 adds associated with it since March 2017. Channel is new as far as I know.. They both look great!
