    My surgery is done. We think the cancer is gone. We'll know for certain in early June. I was released from the hospital this afternoon. Everything went wonderfully. Right now my goals are pretty basic. Things like walking all the way down the block and back. Can't pick up the largest dog for a while. Not driving for a while but that'll come. And as for that Great Diversion that Time and Companionship can bring? That's not going to happen for a little while. When I first get back, it will be in a slightly different manner but, over time, there is reason to believe all things are possible. So play safe, kids. If not before I hope to see you at the next Social!

    If ladies wish to share nudes of any sort they will probably be already posted on their website, ads or gallery here. However if sending a nude means getting your business, I think I will pass. As will many others. Yet if you are inquiring about nudes because you are a collector, I'm sure if you help fund a ladies photo shoot, she would have no issue making sure you received the photos you seek. Just for the record, anytime you start a post with, Im sure Ill get flack, it never ends well.

    So this guy decided to make a chat profile as a pretty female just to see what it was like. Quite interesting. https://np.reddit.com/r/truecreepyPMs/comments/3298o8/this_is_a_post_that_some_of_you_are_asking_me/

    As Brad stated earlier, the OP simply asked if it would be okay to ask, which is one of the purposes of this site, no? To try and better navigate this world and show the people who work in the industry the respect they deserve? It's difficult to do that if you don't seek clarification when you're unsure of the usual boundaries of the business. Once we start condemning people for asking these kinds of questions, we drive the discussion underground. I for one prefer these things to be out in the open, where we can all learn more about them, and hear from people within the industry about not only what they think on the issue, but why. So while it did seem like a no-brainer to me that the majority of sp's would scoff at providing more intimate photos of themselves, I think this is a better site when people are genuine seekers, and not just regurgitating the same info we can all find by reading the stickies.

    Oh have any of you seen this? It's a girl who decided to accept every compliment given to her online rather than just brushing it off or downplaying it... the results are equally dismaying... http://www.buzzfeed.com/rossalynwarren/this-is-what-happens-when-women-actually-accept-a-compliment#.lbDZY4vDKj

    I'm sure there are many but shouldn't you be more concerned about their credentials rather than their sex appeal? After all, buying a house is a serious transaction and I know many agents and none of them would like their time wasted:)

    In my experience, guys who want nu des are tire kickers, collectors or otherwise a complete waste of time. So if you ask for nu des, that is the impression I get. It's not a good first impression to make.

    I hope you didn't take offense to my comments. I was careful to say that I was not referring to your intentions in particular. I have known you to be a respectful commenter in the past and I don't think that there is anything wrong with respectful open discussions. I was therefore trying not to sound judgemental in my response. We "dark siders" have to stick together after all. As a businessman, whenever any question like this is asked, I always go to the immediate question "why would they?". A business is always run on the notion of mutual benefit. Otherwise it is a charity. There may be reasons I have not thought of that it would be adventagious for her. A thank you gift for a regular perhaps. I can't speak for the ladies. It just doesn't seem like there would be much benefit to her in my mind. I guess the answer to the question "is there a correct way to ask this" is: it depends. Some will find the question offensive no matter how you ask. Some may not. Some may even comply. I wouldn't risk it myself with those odds though.

    Thanks. I think it's hard for everyone to remember that bitching often reflects worse on the bitcher than the bitchee. :) And yes the second half is great. Especially as applies to unsolicited advice, which is something I find to be at the top of my list of peeves. As for the article, yeah it is depressing. Women are told that we should have higher self-esteem and that we are all beautiful, but when we start to act like it then we get slammed down again. Ah, what a world, what a world.

    when the ladies have photos done, they are done at an expense that runs into the thousands. I know that from experience. A photoshoot costs a lot to have done. On this site, we are not allowed to post those type of photos. We can get close to that, but we do post photos that are in taste, and give an edge of mystery. After all, isn't that what an encounter with any of us ladies is? A mysterious trip to wonderful? There are other sites where those sort of pics are posted, but with c-36 coming into play, most of us have cleared out our websites to conform to these new laws. Guaranteed there are ladies that will send out those pics to you, but in my opinion, it completely takes away the mystery. Just as with clothingless beaches, no mystery. Whereas a scantily clad beauty in a bikini makes you wonder what is under that :-) It isn't that the ladies on here do not want your business, but a lot of us will not send out pics through text/email due to the fact that we have no idea where those pictures will end up. On our sites, and on here, we have control over the pictures. Pictures have been distributed to other areas without our permission, so this way they are controlled.

    Wow. That's really depressing. This sort of thing is generally known as "The Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory". Off topic but BTW, Kate, I love your signature. It really made me think about my own behavior. I tend to be a bit 'bitchy' sometimes and talk down about others. Framing it as pumping myself up at their expense puts it into a different perspective. I enjoy the rest of the quote too: "To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves. Nothing is often a good thing to say, and always a clever thing to say." If only I could learn follow the second half as well.

    It would also limit what you could do in your future and where you could go. Just as an example the US would not allow you to travel there if you are identified as a sex worker in Canada, if you had another job and did this part time you would not be able to travel for your work to the US and that would certainly limit many people in their careers. Then of course there would be the many Islamic countries where you could be put at real risk for being a sex worker. Unless of course you think that this information would be kept confidential... but in this day and age that is an increasingly difficult promise for governments to make even if they do believe strongly in the individuals right to privacy and Harper has not been the best advocate for the rights of sex workers nor individual privacy.

    I think you're conflating two situations here. There's also an issue with visibility. The ladies (and guys) to whom the new laws make no difference are the indoor workers, especially the independent ones, and their clients. They can still meet and have fun much as they did before. Different aspects of what they're doing may now be technically illegal, but that makes no difference. There are inconveniences (advertizing has become trickier, as has screening) but these can be worked around, especially by an established escort. We hear a lot from those people here, because those people make up the bulk of the population of this board. The harm, as with most laws like this, is visited primarily on those without the resources to work around the laws; in particular, the street workers. I don't suppose advertizing is an issue for them, but screening is another matter entirely; the new laws have made potential clients more nervous, which makes it that much harder for the street worker to make sure she's not getting into a car with the next Robert Pickton. The sex-work organizations are far more cognizant of these problems than the likes of us; in particular, we don't hear from the people most affected by the new laws because they don't post here. I am also unwilling to call it. This will play out over years, not weeks or months. I do not see this, particularly. Sure, there were changes when the new law went into effect, and adjustments will continue to be made, but I don't see anything major. LE continue to do occasional sweeps to generate some headlines and convince the pearl-clutchers that Something Is Being Done, but they did that with the old laws too. There's a lot of bad jobs out there. What you're talking about here is less sex work in particular, and more wholesale changes to society. It's time to make a confession: I'm guilty of exploiting someone else's economic circumstances. I pay a woman, on a regular basis, to do something that I'm ashamed to say I just can't face doing for myself, and which I'd certainly never do for anyone else unless I were truly desperate. I don't know whether she enjoys it, or whether it's what she wants to be doing with her life; I don't know how much of the money I give her she keeps and how much goes to the guy who I call to arrange her visits. She cleans my house.

    What annoys me is the myth that addicts, trafficking victims, assholes and predators are the sum total of this industry, or even a majority. A dark side that exists? Absolutely. A significant problem? For sure. The whole story? I still maintain that's crap. Unfortunately there's a significant abolitionist lobby dedicated to propagating that particular lie, and historically they've been ahead of the pro-sex-work organizations in terms of audience and mindshare. But as I said, that's changing, slowly. This is true, but that doesn't mean these things don't happen, or even that they aren't common. It just mean that society doesn't know what's going on. Also true, but it won't happen on its own. That's why the pro-sex-work organizations are so important. But that doesn't mean these stories are the mainstream; all the documentaries prove are that they exist. So why don't we get documentaries about the good stuff and the happy people? Two reasons, I think: the abolitionists have a lead in their propaganda war, and more importantly, a documentary about happy people who are content with their lives makes for really boring television and nobody would watch it. Netflix and cable companies exist to make money; boring documentaries that nobody will watch will get canned. Only if you're trying to do the abolitionists' work for them. What should get the spotlight is the truth, not the outliers that tug at the heartstrings. Alas, the truth is often rather dull as well as being hugely detrimental to the abolitionist lobby's goals, so it gets overlooked. Where to start with this? First: what most sex-work activists are arguing for is not legalization, but decriminalization. There's a big difference. As for the pimps... sure, perhaps they're excited by the prospect of coming out of the shadows, but I'm not sure they've thought this through. They're successful at the moment precisely because of the criminalization of the industry, which has two huge consequences; it keeps many potential entrepreneurs out, thus removing competition for the pimps; and it keeps the women working for them scared to go to anyone who might help them improve their situation. As soon as the industry is either decriminalized or legalized, these advantages vanish; other people will come in to set up agencies and brothels that will give the escorts somewhere else to work, and women who are abused or coerced will be far more willing to report that to LE now that the threat of being prosecuted themselves has been removed. It's not about sweeping anything under the rug; it's about making life better for everyone, especially those who most need it. I fail to see the relevance of this to the present conversation. We're talking about sex work. Nobody has proposed raping children. You could probably get away with throwing out a red herring like that on an abolitionist forum; here, you'll be asked to explain yourself. And thus do a few bad apples screw things up for the majority of decent people. Life is like that.

    Are you looking for free nudes? If yes, then don't bother asking at all. Are you willing to pay the lady for these pictures? Then say that straight off the bat when asking in a polite way, some ladies will be okay with this. This is the lady's business first and foremost, so if you're trying to get freebies, then everyone is right in saying they don't need your business. If you want nudes, you should be willing to offer payment for them. Even then she may not agree, but it's certainly more likely to get you them. Just make sure you actually pay up, and not dangle the possibility of payment in front of her for photos. Posted via Mobile Device

    I was actually doing exactly this after reading the article to see what the results would be before I deleted my profile, and lo and behold the guys were not pleased when you just accepted their compliments and didn't bow down to them immediately :P I actually haven't found I've received many dick pics at all, whether in this profession or when online dating. But I have received an abundance of disgusting, rude, derogatory, and just plain mean messages, especially if you reject the guy. The world of online dating if a terrifying place, I'm steering clear for now! Posted via Mobile Device

    I kind of agree with his theory. A) Guys love their own dicks so why wouldn't someone want to see it? B) Guys want girls to send them nude photos so it seems logical to send them what they think they would want. Honestly, B) is probably behind so many relationship problems in general. People tend to do things for others that they would want done for them. Unfortunately that's often not what what they actually want. I want sex. Wife wants thoughtful little things. She gives me thoughtful little things, I (attempt to) give her sex. Neither of us are happy. If you can crack the code of doing for others what THEY want you to do, you're golden.

    Hmmm, isn't it strange how, when an issue of morality or the public good is on the table it causes "grave concern", but when a politician slips their hand into your pocket on a two billion dollar proven ineffectual tax grab, they act decisively and strike like lightening? If someone pointed out the tax benefits of a new and more appropriate law, THEN we might see politicians act.

    First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who contributed. I've gotten lots of replies in my mailbox as well! I will be more careful, reading reviews and looking up providers. I always check CK, but this provider was not there. I have contacted CK, and I hope that this would help other clients in the future.. Like miss Grass_Hopper pointed out, I refrained from naming anyone or giving specifics. I am not trying to report that service provider (not on lyla at least). I was just seeking advice as I am not very experienced in this hobby.. Thanks again everyone! Lesson learned.

    I find it funny when I read on some review boards that the session felt rushed and she was a clock watcher when they only booked for 15-30-45-60 minutes. I mean, isn't it the time they paid for? If you feel like you need longer not to feel rushed or you would like to spend more time with the lady, by all means, book a longer session. I also think there's a huge difference between someone reserving a lady's time for 30 minutes and finishing on time versus booking an extended dinner date and going over. If I offered sessions of two hours or less, especially the short ones under an hour, I would definitely finish the appointment on time with the expectation of being compensated for the extra time (for example, 30 minutes). Basically, the longer the session booked, the more flexible I am with my time, within reason. Jenny, don't let people intimidate you or push you around by saying you're being a clock watcher.

    Being known for having a special talent that will not be mentioned and being associated with that. I know it comes with the territory but some people think I can just do that at the drop of a hat. I'm not there to perform like a circus act on command and it does bother me when I get text messages asking specifically about this. It could happen, it may not. It all depends so now when I'm put on the spot about it, I tell them there are no guarantees. I'm not a blow up doll and just expect me to do that on a whim. Nor do I want. Right time, right person, perhaps it will. My escorting activities have been limited because I mostly do massage now. Like I said, don't expect a freak show, porn show or the whole drive thru menu gammit b.s. I offer an experience and prefer to see gentlemen because they want to see me as as opposed to someone who has a checklist a mile long and doesn't care who it is as long as x,y and z are checked off their list. No thanks.

    Just had a thought. Let's reverse the situation and ask the same question. Would you as a client, who I assume values discretion, send a picture of your face to a complete stranger who may or may not end up meeting you? Be sure to send a pic. everytime you get asked to!

    From my perspective when this happens unless it was a blatant B&S or there was a dangerous situation or illegal activities ie. money stolen etc then you need to just chalk this up to one of the risks of the hobby and move along. I understand that when things like this happen we hate to feel like someone has taken advantage of us but the reality is there is not that much you can actually do about it. On CERB / Lyla we restrict ourselves with good reasons to an environment that focuses on the positive so with few exceptions this is not a place to air dirty laundry... I think someone suggested that there are other sites where if you were so inclined you could go and freely air your dirty laundry but I would suggest to you that if that is your plan then keep in mind that the reality is that this becomes a "he said" "she said" and those discussions often don't come out positive for either side ... the end result might just be that other ladies who you may want to see may choose to not see you as they don't want to risk a similar situation in their future. The bottom line is there are risks associated with participation by both clients and ladies... ladies see bad client who treat them bad or short pay just like clients see ladies who might act inappropriate.... both need to move on. I am a big believer in Karma... whether it is a client or a lady that acts inappropriately it will ultimately come back to them as our actions represent us in the world and try as we may most people will in the end actually see us for who we really are.

    I could pretty well echo what Cub said above. Hate is a strong word and perhaps it is more that I have not learned to appreciate or understand some sports. However, I so well recall the year of the NHL players strike. The dead of winter. No hockey, baseball or football, and most evenings one could tune into TSN to watch DOG SHOWS. Yes, dog shows. Please don't tell me that turning a dog into a prissy prancing doll is a sport. :) Please. That's the closest that I can come to hate!

    My opinion is that society as a whole doesn't care. This is a lifestyle that doesn't impact them, so they just don't give it a thought. Prior to the new legislation I'd wager if you asked any Canadian on a street corner (oooppps maybe a bad choice of words LOL) they would have said prostitution is illegal. And most likely don't even know the law has been changed I think what is more important is educating both clients and prospective clients and companions and prospective companions into what is proper etiquette and behaviour. I'm less worried about what society thinks of how we should behave, and more concerned about being the best client I can be. And passing along any tidbits of advice I can. To this end a board and community like Lyla is a very useful forum for the sharing of ideas and learning about this lifestyle. I know it was beneficial to me in my early days of this lifestyle So I'd say just be the best client/companion you can be. And don't worry about societal expectations, because society likely doesn't even care My take on it RG

    But what you've outlined isn't crap, there in lines the reasons the public perceptions are as they are. There are a lot of clients that don't give a crap, they are there just to get their rocks off and couldn't care a less about the escorts position in life. A lot of the women are in this business because of poverty, drugs, abuse and other negative reasons. Sadly all of these things are true and do shed negativity on the business. There are also many women who have chosen this profession, who are happy to be in it and who are using it as a stepping stone in a positive way. There are also clients who seek out this type of escort and will only interact with responsible and professional women. The negativity of this business is harsh, real and unfortunately always overshadows the positives. As does the theory that a cheating man/women is a bad man/woman, as is the one he/she is cheating with. The fact that a lot of clients are attached also solidifies society's belief that those involved in this business cause the ruin of marriages and other relationships. That many of us are evil seductresses who have no morals or self respect. You would be hard pressed to find anyone in society to openly admit that an escort could actually enhance or help a coupled relationship, or that an escort may be an educated, level headed, productive member of society. These are my beliefs from my experiences in this business. I also believe that until society becomes more "European" towards sex, meaning, more accepting and open about it, the acceptance and opinions towards sex workers and their clients will stay unwanted and negative:(

    At the risk of going all Debbie Downer on you... I'm going to anyway. I think that society's current expectations of clients are very low, but this is profoundly connected to society's impressions of sex workers. Unfortunately, the average person's vision of a sex worker is probably very negative. She might be a drug addict working for her pimp/dealer, or a trafficking victim at the mercy of the gang that got her into the country, but the general impression is of someone who is at the mercy of a person (or people) who control her activities, income, and entire life; she's turning tricks for their benefit, and she'll never see any of the proceeds. And that's before you even consider the idea that she may be underage... long story short; she's desperate, on the fringes of society, and she'll do what it takes to earn a few bucks to get her through the next day. That, in turn, feeds society's opinion of the client; he's a guy who just wants to get his rocks off. He doesn't give a damn about the well-being of the provider he sees; he doesn't care where the money goes. And he doesn't care that the girl sucking his cock may be, in the eyes of the law, a child. Society expects him to take what he can get; if he can, he'll rape a provider if he thinks he can get away with it. Long story short: he's an asshole, exploiting the vulnerable, and society expect him to behave as such. Now, everyone reading this post knows damn well that the impressions I've just outlined are absolute crap, and are in no way representative of this industry. Most of the ladies involved are doing exactly what they want to be doing, including a lot of the ones who have entered the country illegally. Most of the clients are, whatever their tastes in terms of age, not looking for someone under the age of majority; most of us would care if we met someone who we felt was being coerced in any way, and a lot of us would make an effort do something about it. Most of the ladies are not on drugs. Most of them are not under the control of anyone, even if they do choose to work for an agency. And most of us are also aware that not all sex workers are female, and not all clients are male. All of these things are... things that society as a whole doesn't get. The fundamental problem is the invisibility of the industry as a whole. I suspect that almost every adult in the country knows folks who are involved in this industry, as either clients or providers; they just don't know it, because none of us have neon signs on our foreheads. These things are changing, slowly; I've noticed over the past few years that sex workers' organizations have become more visible and have begun to get their message across in the mainstream press. This is a long, slow task (think of turning around an oil tanker) but they've made a good start, and people are - slowly - beginning to notice, and get their heads around the idea that there are a lot of sex workers out there who are strong and independent people who are doing exactly what they want to be doing. Clients are still much lower profile, despite being far more numerous, but I hope that will change. The recent changes in the law were designed in part to inhibit that, but I'm optimistic that eventually, reality will shine through. It'll be a long fight, and like many of these fights it'll take a generation or two and the road will be far from smooth. They say that a lie can run around the world before the truth has got its boots on... but when the truth starts kicking, the game's almost over. We'll get there.

    Slight hijack... for those guys who don't feel inclined to leave extra in the envelope for whatever reason, writing a reco usually seems to be appreciated. It helps the rest of us out, too :)

    I'm sure there's a market for this sort of thing, but I'm not really sure what one would learn from it. I mean, besides the basics such as 'Chapter 1: Locating Your Own Penis' etc. The thing is everybody's different. A sex tutor might teach a man what makes her happy, but that might not be the same thing as what that man's wife wants. So I think what's best is to learn to articulate your sexual preferences, not feel ashamed of them, and not feel like you're being criticized when your partner makes suggestions.
