I want to take a moment to say thank you to a very special friend of mine who is amazing not only as a person but as a supporter of what we all do here. This is the sex trade video from CBC and while there is a distinct focus more on the downside it at least has some positive comments. http://www.cbc.ca/player/News/ID/2669201792/ Patrick has always been a supporter of what we do and views it as necessary and beneficial thing: health work. The connection versus just focusing on the naughty aspect. It's all part of the equation. With C36 in place, he went on camera, showing his face to say how important he believes what we do is. That would take some serious thought and contemplation on a good day but today, he could be charged because he admitted it. I will send positive and supportive energy to him that he is not targeted but I expect if he is, they will have one heck of a fight on their hands. Patrick puts his money were his mouth is and I respect him so much for this and applaud him for always standing up for what's right even if it's not easy. So to him I say thank you. Thank you for being who you are, for being amazing and for being a friend :D

My highlight was last night when I saw my son graduating form high school performing on the piano and getting applauded half way through his song...so proud!

In case there are those who are unaware of the latest gossip in the scientific community, then check out some of these responses to Tim Hunt (A nobel prize winner and Sir). I think they are brilliant. http://mashable.com/2015/06/11/female-scientists-responses-tim-hunt-distractinglysexy/ They are in response to the three problems he has with girls working in science that he announced to journalists and fellow scientists while giving a talk at a conference. These three problems are why he believes women should not be allowed to work with men. He says it's too distracting... 1) He falls in love with them, 2) They fall in love with him, 3) They cry when criticized A quick google search will bring you all up to speed, and if I used twitter I would be all over #distractedlysexy, where I think the issue is being handled brilliantly. It highlights what a fool he is. Science is rarely sexy. What do you all think? Funny? Do we dare delve into the broader subject where this sort of sexist opinion is still prevalent in a lot of disciplines? I mean, really, why is it that the girls have to go? Couldn't he have instead said that men shouldn't be allowed to work with women because they get too distracted. ;-)

Oh you're mostly right pleasureme, It wasn't that his 'problems' are sexist. They are after all, just problems he has. That most people have.. humans fall in love, women cry, men cry. The bad part came when he said that because of HIS problems, a whole gender shouldn't be able to work in the field. "The OP, mistakenly, grouped all into the same category"... What did I group all into the same category? I am confused by this... I too found the social media responses hilarious. That was my point. I was laughing all day yesterday seeing my lab counterparts partake in this feed. I see now that my starting post really should have read "I think they are hilariously brilliant", and opposed to simply brilliant. I find it funny. Truly hilarious. Seriously. Writing on such a topic is hard. I can see how the tone of my original post was lost. It's supposed to be lighthearted. When I asked if you found it funny, it really should have said funny too. I think making fun of the situation is much more productive than getting all up in arms over it. Additional Comments: Oh I found another compilation of good ones. http://gizmodo.com/these-lady-scientists-are-so-distractingly-sexy-im-in-l-1710920322 LMAO

unfortunately, these things happen a lot. When someone cancels 10 minutes before they are supposed to see a lady, that lady: - has taken the time to book you - has taken the time to get ready for you - has turned away someone else, perhaps, since you have her time booked - is now losing an income that cannot be replaced These 'last minute' cancellations are brutal. Obviously, serious issues come up, and those can certainly be overlooked. Someone getting into a car wreck would certainly be forgiven by a lady, as that is beyond your control. Being called into work, another compounding issue. I have had some whopper excuses in my time in this business, most of them incredibly unbelievable. I'll give you an example. Someone, outside of the community of Lyla, that consistently books me, has so many car accidents that he shouldn't be allowed to drive! Do I believe it when he says it? NO, I just don't book him anymore. Another guy's mother passed away, three times, guess he's not seeing me either. Things are going to happen that can't be helped, but please be respectful of the time and effort that a lady puts into reserving your special time with her. We cannot always have someone else that may be able to take the booking, so it is lost income to us. Think of how you would feel if you walked into work and the boss said he couldn't come in to work today so he's not paying you. It's the same principle. If you cannot afford to see us, don't book until you can. This way you are not wasting your time or ours.

I think that if everybody leaves the ship, then this is "the beginning of the end". Things are what we make them. This website, despite the new rules since last December, is still what we make of it. Human beings adapt to new situations. We can still talk about many things, and even the things that are supposed to be censored, using the art of language. Think about countries where freedom of expression is a real issue for human beings, and even a risk for them to be killed. Ladies & Gentlemen, YES, the F--K you can write about anything you want! Don't give up, or this government will win this for good! Resistance is the solution. Nobody will tell me how I should live and enjoy my sexuality, even when it is related to business. F--K Yeah!

Wow, Patrick's the bravest son of a bitch here! He puts us all to shame, that's for sure. Patrick, if anybody in Canada stands a chance going to court to fight for your right to party, and winning, it's you! Any offers coming in from constitutional lawyers yet?

I completely agree with Peachy. For me it has nothing to do with the new laws that I have been fairly silent recently. It's simply that sometimes getting picked apart time and time again just makes it discouraging to participate. The thread about the risks of STI's comes to mind for me, where I felt I had to validate and defend my desire to obtain better information. It's tiring to do that, and not worth the effort. And I've seen it done to many others, where if there opinion doesn't go with the masses, they are berated. I personally would love to talk about more issues and am tired of every thread becoming about the 'new laws'. So I'll start a new thread now and see if I can start a discussion that I am sure will bring out a variety of opinions... Or at least I hope it will

Me too.. I still have the two infraction points as a reminder, lol. I've never been a huge contributor here, but the new laws are definitely stopping me from talking as much or about the same things as I use to. I'm a liberated woman with a very high... libido... a lot of my life revolves around sex. At the same time, Lyla is a valuable resource to me and I really don't want it to be shut down or made a target.. so I understand their need to censor the site. Not knowing if I can talk about something or knowing I can't has made it difficult, but I honestly think in time things will kinda go back to normal.. I mean, incalls weren't legal, but a lot of us were offering them, talking about them openly, etc.. It will take time for people to relax again. Harper's fear mongering seems to be working everywhere.. :(

I think a lot of people here have scurried into their cubby holes and are peeking out, evaluating the changed landscape. It's not a surprise that many have been left feeling dejected and disillusioned. It's only natural, after being stripped of our freedom of expression and choice through no fault of our own. I often wish that the general public at large were more educated about the workings of the industry. If they were, more of them would be up in arms. Let's be clear: the new laws have nothing to do with combating trafficking and exploitation - there are already laws on the books for that. The government is banking on societal ignorance and apathy that will allow them to feed the public their drivel and have it unquestionably accepted. On the surface, for the layman the new laws sound good, considering they accept the party line at face value. But, as we all know, the truth is much more sinister. It's an attempt to legislate morality, which I believe takes away our basic rights and freedoms. Sadly, most people are unaware that this is even occurring. To put things in perspective, imagine for a moment that the Conservatives passed a bill that made engaging in pre-marital sex amongst civilians illegal. There would be an uproar of momentous proportions, with riots across the country. Of course, the opposition would jump at the chance to publicly announce that they will squash such unconstitutional legislation, if only they are elected to form the next government... So, is there really a difference between this hypothetical scenerio, and the one we are currently faced with? Just one - premarital sex is free, and the other is for an exchange.

I gave someone a warning for posting negative comments about a lady, they replied by PM with the following (I removed the persons name to keep them anonymous). My Reply to this person... The internet is so anonymous, it makes it easy to exploit/abuse. I don't know if your being honest when posting negative comments or malicious and trying to discredit someone so here on this site we do not say negative things. PERIOD Anyone who does not agree with this policy I tell to go find another discussion site that is more fitting for them to call home. This community was and will continue to be built on POSITIVE comments and people! It shocks me that people still tell me we are doing things wrong by not allowing negative comments here. This site has been running for a LONG time now and has a good community who embraces that core rule. New members continue to join and try to tell me that this is not the way we should do things. Some even go as far as saying they have some sort of right of freedom of speech to say what they want here in our members only website.... i politely tell them to go review the laws and when they educate themselves come back and apologize for the ignorance. Some stats to share and prove our policies work... Cerb/Lyla Purges some old posts each year (a few thousand) but currently we have 525,041 posts We have over 55,600 registered members We have over 9400 members who post and contribute (Active Members) On average we have 1100 people on the site at ANY given time We have OVER 60000 unique visitors a month to the site We have OVER 200000 visits to the site per month On average the site serves 190GB of data per month! ... and that accounts for over 15 MILLION hits! Being positive, being nice to people, focusing on the good! ... IT WORKS!

I watched the first episode late last night/early this morning, debating what I should do with the rest... Binge watch or savour slowly one day at a time? What's your plan of attack for this dilemma? Advice? I think I might do mini-binges, lol, does that make it a trilemma?

I actually posted about this in the thread about turn offs for ladies. I would rather a cancel then a no show. I had a gentleman that found me through this site book for a 2 hour appointment. Since I only book 2 hours on my available days that meant letting others that messaged after know I wasn't available for that day anymore. I am an independent so I work hard to build my reputation on this small island I call home. I now have a gentleman that thinks I'm "just playing" because I've had to tell him I wasn't available the three times he messaged. That is bad for my reputation. On top of that, the gentleman that booked the 2 hours was basically a no show. I had to travel to get to where he was staying. He had told me the hotel the day before but as he hadn't checked in yet he didn't have the room number. I travelled to the city and messaged to get the room number but no answer. I waited close to an hour incase he was thinking his time zone not mine when we booked the time but still no answer. So I'm out the fee from him, the fees I could have made, travel cost and I have a dent in my reputation with at least one person because of this. And it's now 4 days later and not even a message to say sorry or even attempt to explain. So yes. I would rather a cancel with a crazy excuse then radio silence no show. Moon Your friendly curvy BBW on PEI.

Waiting for my 4th and final flight of the day :)

On my way back to the east coast :)

Our Michelle MA, with thanks! Additional Comments: And brand new!!

Good morning, Thank you for a fantastic time visiting again, it was lovely to be back. I look forward to seeing you soon. xoxo Emily

Whats worse than that is showing up to date and the phone goes cold all of a sudden. You might think that someone got cold feet, but when it then happens twice in a row and the person starts making it clear they are trolling you and just sending you on a wild goose chase... well, sort of makes you lose your faith in humanity.

He has a lot to learn...

I agree with the post above. There are not as many interesting topics being posted. and with the censorship, can't really say much. It's hard to give recommendations also, because you can't say much. I too have had posted some topics in fun or get some interesting opinions. But then there always some posters that interpret or hijack the thread and turn's it into a negative direction. Some of my thread start off good and then go a totally different tangent :(. These have been so many discussions that it is hard to find something new to discuss. Still I have met many people here and PM them. I used this more to be able to contact and look for recommended companions. So this site is still good for contacting the women of cerb and keeping in contact with other chat buddies. But I find a lot of the regulars have left the chat room also. But at the same time there are new members dropping in for a chat. Hope things will get back to normal. And this stupid law goes away.

For some of the fun times I've had in the shower I would say : Priceless. Something's things money can't buy. But for everything else there's MasterCard :)

You are most welcome Satai! It can take a lot of skill, my tips for providers: be really organized(keep soap bottle handy, opened, tuck wand under your arm when necessary for both hands to get soapy, etc.), install a shower wand(I even used to bring one to the hotels I would sometimes see clients at, such a geek, lol), be sure to tie your hair up, move slowly and steadily, and stay in control- save it for the table! I agree with most of what you say, but even though I don't get many massages like the ones we talk about here, I don't think it's fair to exclude everyone who doesn't have shower access from the "BEST MPs" category. I haven't been scoping out the competition's reviews as much lately, not being so active on the board lately, but I imagine that there are some stellar ladies who simply choose to work out of locations without shower facilities for myriad reasons; proximity/location, exposure, contentedness with/loyalty to their first employer, friends, culture, etc. I think the more that is said about any amazing providers, the better, especially sharing details about the facilities so perhaps people aren't disappointed if they had had expectations that are simply not available at that location. I think we all should give thanks, and reviews whenever deserved, even if there is no shower, and remember that this site and others like it(Yelp, Tripadvisor, etc. for other businesses) can be a great source of new business. Which reminds me, I have a review to write about my last vacation, it was awesome, lots of showers there, lol!

Good point. The thing is, it's still relatively early in the game.. too soon to take anything for granted, so better to err on the side of caution. I would hope that police chiefs / forces across Canada would exercise common sense when choosing which aspects of C-36 to enforce, and which to let fall by the wayside. I believe that so far, they've been rational in their enforcement. However, what will happen in the future is anyone's guess.

I agree, that this has been happening way before c36... But that hasn't helped the site and since this is an adult site, you can't really discuss sex with all the words being blocked out... Nature of the environment I guess. I do think the place has become stale, and the fun threads are very repetitive and sure I contribute to them once in awhile... But no new ones are being created and just seems the status quo. Like some other sites, it would be nice to discuss day to day news or things that are happening in the world, but none is discussed. I agree with peachy that this board appears rosy on the outside looking in, it can be very unfriendly at times, especially to new posters, who then get attacked or posters who've been around for having a different opinion\views and they get shot down... No wonder no one posts much on here. The attitude needs to change...we think we are the best of the forums, but we have to act what we preach. Still a great site, and for me being in Ottawa this is a way better website than those out there... So for me it works. Cheers.

Yup. On the diary. "Baseline and Clyde" is a definite warning sign. Don't go. http://www.cowboysdiary.info/wordpress/?s=baseline+and+clyde All thanks to Cowboy Kenny.

Thank you for the insight, Bethany. I can see where it takes a LOT of skill to keep your hair and face -mostly- dry during a shower4two, and yes, the BEST MPs offer it as a matter of course. I guess what I was getting at was that sometimes mistakes happen (and I totally forgot about the shower wand) and the ladies end up drenched by no fault of their own. Then, there are the "second-tier" of MPs that have in-room showers, but it is -usually- only for the client for a quick wash pre- and post-massage. A shower4two would include an extra tip for the MA, and we can all see where that continues to go. what I call the "third-tier MPs" do NOT have in-room showers, and have one "down the hall", mostly for the MAs use; but the clients can use it if they ask. The less said about this tier (and any other lower tier) the better.

Have you looked at any po r n videos? If you could print off an image from one of them someone at a MAC kiosk (usually inside Bay stores) could help you out. All the ladies at those places look kind of "dramatic" to me. No need to say it is for a session, just say it's for a costume party or cosplay. The best and most knowledgable makeup artists in Winnipeg are at Shopper's Drug Mart. A few stores have a "Beauty Boutique" and carry the more exclusive lines and have better staff. I spend about $300 a month there with my sweetie.

Unless part of the appeal of showering with your provider is washing her hair and face I don't see why anything above the neck needs to get wet... I have always showered with clients at the start of each session and I have only ever been spritzed above the neck(with hair tied up) a few times by accident(me being in shower wand-control is key in avoiding this I have learned), with a handful of other occasions were just me losing control of myself not caring about getting my hair/makeup wet... Ah, the memories, lol! I think as long as the MP has a shower wand, is good at multi-tasking, and keeps a good handle on themself until the table(can be hard to do, lol) it is a great opportunity to share some nice face to face moments with someone. Unfortunately, some providers(mainly SPs) I have spoken to about this are simply unwilling or unable to provide this out of fear they will get drenched. I personally really relish the opportunity, especially with new clients. To have a bit of face-time before they're face-down on my table is awesome, and as a bonus being completely sure my client is sparkling clean and feeling fresh makes my sessions that much sexier! Many thanks to Jasmin of CMJ and Michelle MA now at VIBE for introducing me to massage and sharing the shared shower session starter! :icon_smile:

So far, wine.

My biggest turn off are no shows. As an independent who has another job, I typically only book a total of 2 hours on my available days. I had someone want two hours so I told others I wasn't available for that day when they contacted for an appointment. Then the person ended up not showing up. So not only am I out the fee of that appointment, I now have some thinking that I am just playing around because I had to tell them for the third time they have requested that I am not available. It makes me look bad and that is not good when you are trying to build your reputation in a small market like PEI.

First sunburn of the season. Every year I forget and every year I get burned.

I am happy to be RETURNING, yes Miss. Ashley. Returning to previously known as NEVADAS now Diamonds. I look forward to rekindling old and making new relationships. My return is for this coming Monday.

Fanny's was where babylon is now, I worked there for many years. Later it moved to the Market on York street and rebranded as O' Ladies and eventually closed. The Liquor Store bar now occupies the space in the market.

Club 61 was in Aylmer. They also had another location in Gatineau, which became Taboo. Fanny's was on Bank near Barrymore's.

It was censored as two ladies were putting stuff like 'c t e a s' 'c o c t e a s e' etc... I am going to remove it from the list now that we have educated those ladies on the new laws. I had to be extra vigilant at first with the censors and I am slowly backing them off as we go.

I completely concur. In this day and age when we, at least in the west, have been bombarded with ads promoting soaps and other hygiene products, I find it absolutely incredible that men and women still wander about smelling like neanderthals. It's not that difficult. Shower. Anti-perspirant. Clean clothes. Repeat. If you have to give a shirt the "nose test" you are doing it wrong. CLEAN clothes. Same goes for the boxers, briefs, or thong. Wear it once. Put it in the laundry hamper and keep it there until it has been laundered. In a world where YMMV prevails, you sure as hell don't want to be left curbside when you have a Ferrari waiting for you. Stinky is not sexy... and that Ferrari wants to be driven by a sexy person. ;)

Dear Gabby, you forgot one excuse on your rant. -I'm trying to save money so I only shower and wear deodorant every second day. Honestly I'm confused why any one would not wear any deodorant on a date. I have been to SC and got girls to dance for me and they had a body odor, sorry but just one dance from her is all I needed. Some will get insulted if you tell them politely.
