Do I miss my ex? With every bullet... Guess I'm enjoying being single.

As someone who is very voluptuous and has been a bigger size than I am now in the past, you need to have more confidence in yourself because if you don't, no one else will either. The more you speak of yourself in a positive manner, you will attract the clients who appreciate you for you first and foremost and your body type. Whatever the vibe you put out is the vibe you will attract back. Men who come to visit can be nervous and if you are nervous or not feeling confident, they will sense that and maybe decide not to stay. While no one is perfect, we are all unique and beautiful in our own way. Use your good qualities and build upon those. If you have a pretty face, use that to your advantage and whatever else. Dont focus or speak about lack or you wish you were different. If there is something you don't like about yourself, change it because you want to. Not because men in this business don't think you are slim enough. I lost a lot of weight in the last 9 months but I did it for myself and did it the right way. I don't pay attention to negative people and I don't read the garbage some of these men write about women. Ignorance is bliss. When you are confident, men will appreciate your inner and outer beauty.

This, as well as what have been mentioned, passionate kissing, good hygiene, a friendly, respectful and good attitude, and last but not least, an occasional " miss you.." and "can't wait..." phrase -- will do it for me.

:) i seen her regularly 4 a few years..then she went 2 NS...i always had fun with her...glad she's back around...

It is human nature to desire what we do not have. The "grass is always greener" phenomenon. We are also predisposed to weight positive memories more highly than the negative. This is one of the reasons gambling is so addictive. We remember the high of winning and forget the feeling of loss we get the rest of the time when we lose. It is important to recognize these two facts about ourselves before acting on feelings of nostalgia. It is normal to miss someone you have dedicated a large portion of your life to for even a small period of time. Obviously there were positives or you would not have been there. Just also try to remember all of the reasons it ended before you decide to go back in time and pursue an old flame. In most cases, things ended for a reason. It is sometimes fun to remember the good times though. Every relationship is a learning experience and has helped to make us who we are. Just don't dwell. It is always more important to look ahead of you than behind you when moving forward.

For me personally, I don't care what the client looks like, he is a human being with emotions, I'm not going to say no to someone because they have weight or no weight, no teeth, or hair, or perhaps they walk with a cane, or their hair is green or white, that they are from another culture and they have views different than others just like myself. What bothered me is when I had a client who was terrified to see me cause he was afraid I would shut the door in his face cause he was Jamaican. I had to talk to him to lesson his anxiety then he asked if it was okay and that I was comfortable. What struck me with all this is the fact someone would treat a client with such disrespect it shattered my heart and I felt extremely sad for him. This happens more than I can count and it's heartbreaking. A lot of clients who call me, are scared because they had an awful experience with another lady (not to say they are wrong, it's what they are comfortable with) and they go on and on because they feel unsafe. My incall is open wide with my arms and heart to anyone who books. I don't care if you show up with your service dog, or with a bag, or just you. You are just you and that's all that matters. A human being with emotions just like every person in this world. Why would I shut the door on you? In rare cases I've kicked clients out because they brought drugs to my incall and then proceeded to go ahead and use, that is the only time I will ever kick someone out and rudeness or disrespect also follows.

1. EC. And this one. And PERB. 2. Depends who you ask. 3. Depends what you are into. The most recommended locals are generally mature women (just read through threads, or do a search of a name you've found). If you want someone younger and you're new, try a well-recommended traveller, generally from Korea, China, or Quebec who is in town for around ten days. A word to the wise. There are two reasons to use this site. One is to find "the best" SP for you so you have a great experience, but even more importantly, it is to avoid a truly terrible experience: not merely lackluster service, but anything from flakes and no-shows to scams and violence, robbery armed and otherwise, and potential involvement with LE. There's a shark in the water, and next to it crocodile, and along the bank, a tiger. So, with that in mind, a broad tip: do not answer any ad on BP unless you have found recommendations from someone trustworthy (there are ways here of gauging that) and/or checking pics on TinEye and/or searching for matches of phone numbers. While there may be legitimate reasons why someone keeps changing their name, or why multiple SPs may be sharing a number, it can also be a red flag.

If you ever encounter any sort of problems with anyone while working, anything ranging from sexual assault to theft, intimidation, abuse, harassment, threats, stalking or anything else, and want to talk directly to a female officer who will listen and help (if you want it), here is the name of an Ottawa officer who has been helpful to sex workers in the past: Sergeant Patricia Ferguson Sexual Assault Section Tel. 613-236-1222, ext. 5463 Or, to anonymously report to the police any kind of bad behaviour you've experienced: Bad Date Line Call 1-800-303-5407 - anonymously. http://www.ottawapolice.ca/en/ServingOttawa/SectionsAndUnits/saca/baddateline.aspx From Ottawa Police Services: Working in the sex trade can make you a vulnerable target, and predators count on the fact that you may not report crimes against you. We need your help to identify and track serial and predatory offenders. The anonymous reporting system is for individuals victimized while engaging in the sex trade. By calling the toll free number (1-800-303-5407), you will be prompted to leave a message regarding the details of your assault along with as much of an offender description as possible. Information gathered could be the missing link needed in identifying a serial predator. The anonymous and free Bad Date Line gives you an opportunity to report sexual and physical assault without revealing your identity. For more information about the Ottawa Bad Date Line, download their pamphlet (PDF, 206k). The Ottawa Police Service understands the desire of victims to remain anonymous and supports the Bad Date Line in an effort to identify potential serial offenders preying upon victims who they believe will not report the attack to police. The Bad Date Line does not subscribe to caller ID and no attempts will be made to identify callers. It is preferred that victims contact police directly to report an assault so that a proper investigation can be conducted and ensure a predator is removed from the street. Ottawa Police treat all victims fairly and equitably. If you wish to speak with an officer regarding an assault or receive more information regarding the investigation process, you may contact the Sexual Assault Unit directly at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944.

I am laying back relaxing in a hot steamy bath with my feet up and legs spread apart mmmmmm feels great....what about you?

Ladies? Maybe you have shared some of these feelings in regards to the way we are frequently spoken about.... I have been working in Ottawa since December. Previously, I had been a dancer and had not ventured often into the provider side of things (outside the club of course, I don't believe in Strip Club extras as it's unsafe and in poor taste. I go there to perform) For the most part, my 5 years as a worker of the adult industries has been a great, lifechanging experience. Where there was a lack of confidence, I grew into a strong and bold woman. Where there was a shyness, I now shine in a crowded room. Where there was anxiousness, there is now a re�������� calmness. People don't really understand what it's like to be in this industry. They don't know what it's like to be constantly judged, picked apart, mocked, looked down upon.... Actually, they probably do. But that's probably the most quizzical part of the problem. We are not as worthy because we are shameful in our choices. Do I agree with this? Absolutely not. But not everyone has lived the same path and so I understand that to some people there is no forgiveness in our liberties. Now... I would consider myself a partial libertarianist. I believe that we should be free to do with our lives what we will so long as we do not hurt others. But more importantly I'd like to add that I believe in the power of also caring for yourself, and to always seize the opportunity to better the planet whenever you can. So, now that I've introduced this... let me clarify a few points. I have overheard that I "...come across as a real hustler." If you mean that I am overly ambitious and have strategized a way to multimarket myself to broaden my overall impact on the industry? Then yes, by all means... I am the hustliest hustler ever. But I treat people very well, provide light and attentive interactions filled with laughter and sensuality. I entertain with flair. I will never stop driving towards my goals. I have overheard that I have "...some sag in (my) boobs", "...some sag in her belly as well", "...kinda floppy" ..... May I add that these were comments from people who have indeed admitted enjoying my service in the same reviews? I get it. People can be superficial. But people have also loved my breasts, despite the fact that you didn't. I am getting a breast augmentation not because I want one, but because it hurts to hear people constantly pointing out my flaws, no matter how wonderfully we have gotten along during our session. I have overheard some lovely things! From some people who have backed me up and said that I'm doing a great job and they respect me. People who have applauded my need to become an advocate for the industry. People who saw beyond a shallow misperception of who I am based on judging me by my outershell, or a small glimpse of a slightly grandiose personality via the internet. Why all the negativity? And it's not just me! People feel comfortable talking to me, which is fine. I shall never judge nor share those things... but the fact is that they tell me similar awful things about other dancers, providers, women, friends, girlfriends. I don't like it. Can we all please just try to be a little more human? And girls, stop taking advantage of, or mocking clients in the same way. We all just need a little happiness sometimes, so why not make it easier to find?

hahahahaha ..... now that made me laugh :) Additional Comments: .. hahahahaha .... now that made me laugh !!!

All these points are valid, and definitely understandable.. from both sides...(SP/MP/client)... and I usually will ask, when I send my initial information out to an inquiry.. whether a person has particular things they like/don''t like being done to them during a session.. whether they can 0rgasm more than once... as well as certain things they may have always thought about, but had never the opportunity to experience.. as these things can make the session even more pleasurable... be it a MP, Ds, or a SP scenario.. to me that just makes sense... and asking for this information has turned most of the sessions into something amazing...(one man came 3 times hehe... some simply enjoy being held at that looovely razor's edge the entire time ;) As for knowing what the person I am going to see looks like.. hehe I have found that just through a few emails they do tend to divulge at least the basics.. and in all my years, I have only ever had one person that I would just really rather not have on my table again.. and that was mainly due to hygiene... or a lack thereof..... I used to post a bit of a restriction but removed that once finding out my table can easily handle 700+lbs ;) If I am meeting with someone in a public place, pictures are usually exchanged (even my face! (hehe) other than that.. I have had very young to very old clients.. some of which I was more attracted to than others.. which is just a given as we are human ;) but for me, as I believe it was said already, it is much more a mental connection, and/or the simple fact that I have been trusted by someone to have them put themselves in a rather vulnerable position and *that* is what I appreciate and enjoy most... puuurfectly lovely on all counts ;)

High end service provider that is worth every penny.

I've had large items delivered by AMJ Cambell in the past, and found them to be very carefull and professional.

Who wants to go skinny dipping this summer :-)?

Eloquent mentoring words from Meaghan. Just a comment on your choice. As women comes in all shapes and sizes so do mens' tastes. I for one find a confident sensual attitude more important to a meeting. Good Luck on your journey.

Feeling free to frolic and fantastically frisky? Formidable fornication follows!

Good evening gentlemen! The week end is almost here and it is time to release your stress. I am available for sp or ma session in barrhaven or for outcalls until 12am. come see for yourself why i am one of ottawas favorite! txt only at 613 261 4169 or pm a bientot xox Lany

Good day, It makes me so happy to announce that I will be coming for a visit in Sydney next week! I'll be heading over for three days, and two nights. I plan on arriving April 14th ( Thursday ), and returning home on Saturday the 16th. Nothing would make me happier then having the pleasure of your company during my trip! In order to secure my visit I do ask that we arrange our date prior to my arrival. I would love to see you! If this is our first time meeting then I guess there are a few things you should know about me, so let me begin..... :) I would like to mention firstly that, if you have any special requests please don't be shy to ask. I want our time together to be something you will never forget, and if there is a way to make it even more special I would be more then happy to accommodate, if possible. These are some thing we could do today....... Trying new things, teaching you new things and you teaching me new things. Role play, submissive, dominant....... all things that I love. I am sensual, and seductive; but I know when it's time to get a little naughty, and rough. I will give you everything. Even a very passionate head to toe rub. What could make this any better you ask?...... Well, maybe it's the way I make you fell sooooo comfortable from the moment we meet. It will be like we have known each other for years, or maybe it's that my personality will leave you amazed. You'll know that I'm honest, sincere, and that you have never met anyone like me before. You'll never want to leave. To learn more about me please feel free to message me, or check out my website http://www.carleychase.com To arrange a date please email me at [email protected] I hope you have a wonderful day, and I'm really looking forward to seeing you! Sending you all of my love, always Carley xox

Regent, I think most of the posts are targeting the "Escorts" section of BP. You advertise in "Dom&Fetish" which seems more straight-up to me. (ironic, the kinky stuff is more straight-up!) BP is what it is, so it's Buyer Beware. The ad sections of the major boards have much less BS, as I think most gents recognize, but of course the quality of services by even those SPs is all over the map. If potential clients peruse BP enough and read reviews regularly on other, more balanced boards, they will learn to instinctively single-out who on BP looks like she has potential, and who doesn't. I find the Escorts section is necessary to find out who LH has sent to town, can't get that info elsewhere.

Flying across the continent for a tour in an unfamiliar city, checking in at the hotel and realizing within the first hour that I forgot half the things I need. At 11PM. When I cook a very nice dinner for myself, go to answer the phone and come back to find my cat Gizmo with his face buried in my plate. Those are a few of my (un)favorite things :)

After my wife passed I still wore my ring up until a year later. Not that any of the ladies cared if I was married or not, but I always felt the need to explain it. I don't judge men that are married and see escorts but I just wanted the women to know I wasn't cheating on my wife, for some reason that was important to me.

Hi darling, I am sorry this happened to you. Personally I don't find this lady's behavior professional at all. She should have let you know in advance she just needed way more time. Then again that was a planned appt. so she knew better. Myself I am, most of the times, ready at least 15 minutes before the appt. because I just need to sit back and relax a little after I get ready so I don't feel rushed or won't rush you when you come in. It is just pure respect to be ON time. Bisous Barbara xxoo

A genuine smile and laugh. Not much that can make me feel better than knowing I've pleased or entertained. Kissing, light kissing, more kissing, deeper kissing, lips tracing kissing, hello is that your tongue kissing, followed by...a handshake--while kissing! Tongue along my ear. Sets me right off. An enthusiastic, happy greeting. Nothing like getting off to a pleasant, friendly start. Geeky interests and fun conversation. Intellectual connections make for sparks! A partner who doesn't mind saying what she likes and enjoys. I'm not going to be having any fun if I don't think it's mutual, and nothing gives pleasure like pleasing. Finally...boobs (yup, sometimes it's just that simple).

Maybe this sounds strange, but attention to me as a person. When Lady makes me believe that she is happy to see specifically me by some small signs of caring and attention. For instance, I did not ask for specific outfit but mentioned in the conversation she looks fantastic on that photo - and next time she reproduced it exactly for me. Or I told her about something important for me - and next time I am asked how did situation developed. Small signs but they mean a lot...

Women who truly know how to and love to kiss !

She uploads a new photo! So I just did or tried to, when hit the preview button all I see is the link and not the image but it's in my albums now awaiting for approval so one way or another you'll be able to see it very soon and if you don't want to wait you can find that same photo on my Twitter @MsElissaMarie Now, you may be asking yourselves what did I mean with the title of this ad. It turns out I did finish my website's changes and was ready and excited to launch it but there was a problem with my domain and it hasn't been linked to my site but hopefully that will be resolved very soon too. In the meantime there's information about me in my profile and you can message me with questions you may have. ElissaMarie http://www.lyla.com/vbulletin/picture.php?albumid=11377&pictureid=78121

First of all - welcome. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. It is the beauty within that set everyone apart. Not everyone has the same likes or dislikes, so a size 2 might set some over the edge, others might say they enjoy a fuller figure. Some enjoy someone who is in their early 20's while others enjoy a more mature woman. So, don't ever look at yourself and compare yourself to the "traditonal mainstream" look. That is not what makes someone beautiful - it is their ability to see their own natural beauty and emphasize that. As for "breaking the law", I'm not really sure what you are referring to. Unless you are underaged, being forced by someone else, involved in drugs - you are not breaking the law. So, you might want to do some research on this industry, find out what the actual law says, and go from there. One thing I might suggest is to either work with a mentor or a cooperative to help you find your niche. I started in this industry through an agency, so was able to gain some valuable insight into it. I was lucky in that I found someone who was able to help mentor me and give me valuable knowledge and education. I'm still learning. Look into organizations like POWER - they are set up to help providers. Harm reduction, education, knowledge. Everything you need to understand. If you have any questions, don't ever hesitate to send me a pm. I feel that it is important to pay it forward the guidance I received to those that are starting out. Good luck!

Most of you know, I am a strong advocate for keeping everyone safe. The laws have changed, and what used to be allowed previously, is no longer allowed to be discussed or purchased. So, purchasing something that is now illegal, and advertising that you have been able to purchase this, puts everyone in jeopardy. It used to be that certain terms could be openly discussed and purchased. As long as we were not using the services of ladies who worked in public, we were fine. So, we discussed MA's and who did what, openly. However, with the changes in the laws, and Winnipeg's decision to openly go after establishments, it has become very important that certain discussions not be in the open forums. Time and time again - I see guys commenting on ladies and what services they have received - or hope to receive. This is not allowed on this board, and quite frankly, in my opinion, you are putting the lady and establishment in jeopardy. All it takes is one complaint from someone to make a complaint to the police, and they then investigate, and put the establishment in jeopardy. This has happened - not everyone on boards are there because they participate - some are on the boards to find out information and report it to LE. Hell, even LE could be on the boards. Winnipeg appears to be the only city in Canada that is actively going after spas. http://www.lyla.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=232855 http://mytoba.ca/news/st-james-massage-parlour-accused-of-rub-and-tugs/ https://www.lyla.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=191380&page=6 So, if you want to get information or give information, keep it private. If you need to clarify something - send a pm to the poster. If the poster chooses to share information with you, that is their choice. I just wish everyone would listen and understand. Keep safe and have fun!

Seems inconsostent. I went to see "Tiff" yesterday and I'm fairly sure she's not the same person in the pictures. The Tiff i saw had some minor tattoos that should be visible in the photos above and is a bit on the healthy side and in her late 20s but definitely not below 25. The phone numbers are the same - unless I was a victim of bait and switch. The Tiff I saw is nice though but I don't see myself coming back.

Nope, they are one of the most expensive options for advertising. However, there is no verification of photos, no confirmation of ages, just send them money, and they can post. Craigslist however is free, and even more scams on that one. I just wish guys would use other resources to find providers. Once the guys stop using it to find providers, the scammers will either stop, or go legit. I know this won't happen, but a girl can dream.

definitely check on bp if they have a website or are listed here also. For instance, I have an ad on bp and state that you can see me here, so do some of the other sps. For what you seek, take a look in the Winnipeg section of Lyla, check through the ads, see if anyone strikes you in particular, then contact them in the method they have outlines in their ad. Most of us have websites, please check those if they are available, and this way you can receive a lot of information. What you like and what others have recommended may be a match up in the end ;-) There is a Winnipeg recommendation area, just look on the main page of Lyla, scroll down to Winnipeg, click on that and voila! The ads, and the recommendations are there. Hope you find what you are looking for, Lyla is a great site to be on, welcome to Lyla :-)

I'd agree with the previous answer 100%. Stick to this forum and Escorts Canada and you'll have a great time. I was in your place a year ago with a lot of hesitations and questions and found a supportive community here. Stay away from anyone without reviews and an online presence. I can assure you, you will be safe and will have a great time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have no info on agencies in your area but can give you advice when calling one. When you call an agency you'll most likely always deal with an agent on the phone, part of the reason girls work for agencies is so they don't have that responsibility. They also tend to have drivers which should also be discrete. when you call don't ask what's included, this is a red flag to most agents. As what's included and legal is for you to pay for their companions time. Not very informative, but that's where things stand. But be assured that reputable agencies will only send out courteous and accommodating companions. When you call just introduce yourself politely for EX: "I'm Mr.b looking for some company. I'm staying at hotel 5 star, who would be available to join me here". Also, research your chosen agency, many are reco'ed here as are their companions. I hope this helped, stay safe and have fun:)

It's always nice to be happily surprised... It's good to be able to communicate what you want...

Hi Phil, New members can not post recommendations right away. New members must get past the moderation period first (5 posts and 5 days) meaning you must post at least 5 posts and you must be a member for at least 6 days before your account will move to a non-moderated account. WHY? This stops people from creating SHILL accounts (Accounts that are FAKE members trying to post fake recommendations to falsely promote someone). We can usually spot the SHILL posts a mile away and close the accounts and with this 5 day 5 post rule... it makes creating fake accounts a lot less appealing for those who try to do this. The moderation period also stops people from posting Negative/slanderous comments, posting in the wrong area and generally breaking the site rules. To get past the moderation period simply join some conversations, ask some questions (or answer some) and the 5 days and 5 posts will be done in no time... this will give people some post history so that when they read your recommendation is has a little more history to show your not SHILL posting.
