While admirable that you want to operate legally, you simply can't. PCEPA, the federal law which governs sex work, views all sex workers as victims, and all of our clients as criminals who are exploiting us. Licensing has no effect on the federal law or how it is interpreted, and under the law, the city is functionally a pimp. The City of Winnipeg license is a money grab at best, and at worst creates a higher degree of risk and exposure for you, because it requires that you identify yourself to the police as an escort in order to get your license. The license for an independent escort agency (as well as escorts, escort agencies, body rub parlour and body rub practitioner), explicitly excludes any nudity in advertisements or on the premises, or any suggestion that the services might be sexual or include "nude entertainment." If you do any of the things that most escorts do and that most clients expect, you'd be violating the terms of your license. While the Winnipeg Police are supposedly not targeting sex workers, they are still going after clients in some situations, and in the past have participated in intimidating visits to independent escorts under the guise of being a client, to "offer resources". Your premises being a known and documented place where sex work clients are coming and going seems risky for both you and your clients. There are no legal protections for sex workers when it comes to residential tenancies. If you apply for a license, they could contact your landlord, or your name and address may be part of the public record. If your landlord decides to evict you for being an escort there's likely little you could do about it, and even if you were entitled to some general protections under the residential tenancies act, I would not assume that you would receive equal protection, as sex workers regularly experience discrimination due to stigma. The city licensing scheme is a mess, and doesn't fit in with current federal law in a way that makes sense. If you're operating independently you're better off saving your $2300. If you do decide to apply for the license, make sure you've done all your research, have carefully considered the pros and cons of getting licensed, and understand the contradictory legal framework that the licensing system exists in. There is a Safe Space for Sex Workers in Winnipeg that recently had a presentation by a couple of lawyers who are working on sex work related resources. PM me if you'd like details on the meetings - I'm not sure but they may have the lawyers come in again and it would be a good opportunity to ask questions (though because PCEPA is so new, much of the law hasn't been interpreted yet.)

Asshole repelant! Pretty sure I can find it somewhere online!

i understand you are new, but no, people do not want to cam, in fact that is often the very last thing either clients or escorts want. The way to meet someone is thru communication with them, email, texting, phone conversation. The best way to protect your own privacy and safety is to not use face pics, and do not use real names, and do not show yourself via cam (unless it is a paid cam site of course) but perhaps make that a feature (paid) for someone who has already met you. The number one scam guys know about with online ads is the fake escort who says she has to cam with them first, and then there is a roundabout way of getting their cash and sent to a Romanian porn site. Camming first has become a red flag danger lol i suggest you take a look around at ads, and reviews, and see what everyone else is doing. that way you may not know why people do it that way, but you will see how to go about posting ads and photos. the last thing you need is to get a bunch of time wasters camming taking up your time and never booking. of course they aren't booking, they are getting face time for free.

Here is a list of pointers I have gathered from experience and from reading threads here since I have started this lifestyle. If there is a woman that interest you and she has an ad. Read the ad and follow her instructions. If there is a website listed, please go to it and read what she has written. In most cases, the website has most of the information that you need, so don't waste her time texting her for the information that is already available. When you are ready to contact her, follow her contact instructions. If you text her, don't just say 'Hey' or are you available. Introduce yourself with a full sentence. Tell her a bit about yourself and ask your questions. If you can pm or email her. Do so, you can type in a paragraph introducing yourself and ask your questions and request. After receiving her reply. If you want to book her her, make your request ask to time and confirm the rates. You may want to confirm with her what services she offers. Remember, these services are not guaranteed, YMMV. Once your apt is book. you need to follow her protocol for giving you her address. You may need to confirm your appointment, the same day or several hours before your time. She will give you the address or a location close to her incall. When you get there, you may need to call, and she will give you a buzz code and tell you her room number. Don't be late and don't be too early. Before you show up. You should check your hygiene, make sure you have taken a shower and shaved and brushed your teeth or use mouth wash. Most women do not want you to use a cologne. If you have any allergies to any products, you may want to let her know. I like to kiss, so I usually ask if she kisses, this is usually based on chemistry. Or if she does not kiss at all. When she has let you into her apartment. I usually let her make the first move as to a hug and maybe a kiss. Maybe chat for a few minutes to get comfortable. Place her donation in an envelop where she can see it. If you need a shower, you can ask her or if she ask you take a shower, do so. She has her own way and has met many men already. So I usually let her lead the way. But others may want you to lead the way. You have to adjust to the situation. Take your time to get to know each other. don't rush and don't force her to do anything she doesn't want to. Not every session may go the way you expect. May not have the chemistry or maybe a bad day for her. Nothing is guaranteed. But if you are a gentleman and show her respect, you should have a good time. But if you don't behave you may be shown the door. Remember she is a human being that is sharing a very intimate and personal time with you. Respect her limits. After your time is up. Leave, unless she has asked you to stay a bit longer, because she enjoyed herself. If you both had a good time, hopefully you leave with a nice hug and kiss and a feeling that you return. If you were happy with your session. You should also write her a nice recommendation. This helps her meet new clients and new clients can have confidence that she is the real deal. If I have missed anything, please add to this thread.

Regent has made very strong points. The license almost seems like a hook to get you listed in the system. A system that is against this industry. Also I wonder if it could lead to you having difficulty crossing the border by ending up on a list. I don't know but I wonder. From my perspective as a client concerned about my privacy and also that of the providers is to if at all possible so it away from your home A hotel room or rent another location. probably good if it is easy to terminate the location and move to a new one. If you get a bad client and can move to anothe hotel then you can easily avoid problems. Also you avoid the attention regular traffic could draw. In a hotel the guests in the other rooms change and people are coming and going all the time so it is easy to not seem out of the ordinary If you do receive guests to your home I would say you should really up your screening For me as a client I feel less worried going to a hotel than to an apartment.

I would literally never want to cam with someone before a session. Clear communication through email and phone, as well as screening on my end and reading my website, ads, and social media on the client's end are sufficient for gauging each other 99% of the time. These methods don't invite time wasting and don't require either of us to show our faces where they could be screenshotted and shared.

my landlady knows I see clients in my apartment.. and has advised me that although she doesn't care... that if another tenant in the building had issue.. and reported it to the management company.. then I would.. in short.. be out on my @ss and she herself *may* get flack for not reporting me (if management figured out she knew ahead of the complaint) I am ridiculously discrete though.. especially about the prrrrivate den.... for mostly that reason... and if you were a licensed independent 'agency'... does that mean you would have others working for you? *that* would draw attention I would think...

Some purrrfectly lovely additions/changes to the website... prrrrivate den activity and lists coming in the next few days! *with seasonal donation changes alongside them....

This time of the year, my diet consists of mostly homemade Caesar salad. The real deal, too. You can't get this in restaurants anymore because to make the dressing properly, you have to use a barely coddled egg. There is risk in using an egg that isn't fully cooked, so they won't do it. I always use too much garlic, but I don't mind. I'm trying to watch what I eat, but find that in the summer when I'm eating a lot of this kind of salad that I go through more bacon than at any other time of the year. Oh, and the local tomatoes are ripe now, so that only increases my bacon intake. Flour-dredged tomatoes fried in bacon fat on toast, or the classic BLT with homemade mayo. MMMMM! If you want me, I'll be in the kitchen.

I agree and definitely wouldn't book with an SP that didn't have any photos either... but this tantra massage is from what I experienced a legit business so when taken in that context if I walked into let's say massage addicts massage chain I wouldnt ask if I could see the girl first to give her a look over... there isn't any extras so treat it like the first time you book a therapeutic massage at a spa. I only saw her once so if someone knows if circumstances have changed please pm me. I had a great time but I like extras for the price they ask

falling (onto a sheet of glass no less)...and getting a rather nasty cut on my shoulder/back.... juuuust out of reach of my own arm/hand.... making it almost impossible to care for myself this is one part where living alone sucks hehe :( .....stings like nobody's business!! :(

I think you must have worded it a bit less confrontationally than I did :p I agree completely.

My preference is Indy, you can deal with the girl directly. Can be easier just to set something up and once you get to know her, can text her for availability and such. Wth an agency you deal with another person first, then meet the girl. Whatever you're most comfortable with, go with.

I'm a bit reluctant to reply to this, given the way a recent thread on ensuring that providers are genuinely independent seemed to explode around itself. However... Some escorts are forced into it. I expect that the escorts who participate in discussions on Lyla are *not* coerced, and some of them are understandably sensitive when they perceive a comment here to be equivalent to "all escorts are being exploited". Of course, that is not true. That said, some women *are* trafficked, tricked into it, or otherwise pimped out - we just aren't terribly likely to see them participating on this board. It's not unreasonable for a client (or anyone else) to be concerned about the welfare of that vulnerable group. Some clients want to be certain that they only deal with escorts who have freely chosen their lifestyle, as opposed to having been coerced into it: seeing someone who is independent seems like it could be some kind of guarantee of that. It's not 100%, of course: people can be coerced by circumstances, for example. And the fact that someone is with an agency doesn't mean they were coerced - there are entirely provider-run agencies, there have been defenses on Lyla from escorts about the benefits and merits of particular agencies, and so on. Nonetheless, even though it is not a perfect method, in the current legal climate it's not outrageous (not the only reasonable position, not perfect, but not outrageous) to think that if you only meet with independent escorts, you are less likely to be personally engaging in exploitative behaviour.

What part of girlfriend experience says it has any sexual contact? That refers to a lady being friendly and not cold (Hugs, kisses, dating, fun, friendly) does not mean anything sexual is happening. The law does not permit anyone advertising any sexual services. The escorts can advertise anything else they wish.

A painting I made a couple years ago. One of my personal favourites (in many ways). Don't worry, I didn't make the gal hold that pose outside in the cold on a cobble stone beach... the background is actually based on a photo I took from inside a sea arch in Newfoundland. Removed

I commend you for being conscientious and not wanting to contribute to an individual's exploitation. Being an ethical consumer is great. However, I think your criteria oversimplifies and doesn't really reflect reality. The vast, vast majority of sex workers don't have a pimp and aren't being coerced into working by an individual who is controlling their movement or taking their money. This does happen and is terrible, but rare. However, capitalism is inherently coercive, and there is a huge spectrum that falls between the extremes of being forced to work through threats or violence, and doing this work because you love it, and would choose it over other really fulfilling options. Almost every sex worker you meet will fall somewhere on this spectrum, and very, very few will be at one extreme or the other. Reality is that except for a very privileged few, we all have to work to pay the bills, have a place to live, and function in society. The social safety net is insufficient and so many people who need it can't access it. Minimum wage hasn't kept pace with inflation, and many full time jobs don't pay enough to live on. The requirement to work is inherently coercive, most sex workers decide for themselves that this type of work is the best option for them within an inherently coercive system (and this is true of most jobs, not just sex work.) I know plenty of sex workers who hate doing sex work but choose to, because all the other options are worse, and plenty who enjoy doing sex work but would quit in a heartbeat if they no longer needed the income from it. Neither group are coerced by an individual, but by the system we live in. I would encourage everyone to figure out for themselves what criteria feels comfortable and ethical and stick to those criteria for themselves, but also remember that most sex workers aren't being coerced or exploited by an individual, and still need good, respectful clients so they can continue making a living. For clients who are concerned about the welfare of sex workers, I would encourage you to be the best client you can be in individual interactions - show up, tip, respect boundaries and consent, respect the screening process. And more importantly, get involved with pushing for decriminalization, strengthening the social safety net, and ensuring that other jobs are a viable choice. Working to create a world where people who are being exploited can get help without fear of being arrested, deported, abused by police, or having their children seized, and where people who don't want to do sex work have a full range of other options readily available, is really the only way to ensure that the sex worker you're seeing freely and enthusiastically choose the work. Additional Comments: I would also add that having a manager, agency, booker, driver or other third party doesn't mean that someone is being exploited or coerced. Being independent is a lot of work and requires particular skills that not everyone has or has an interest in acquiring/using. It's totally fine to choose to only see independent sex workers, but there are many legitimate reasons why someone might choose to work with or for third parties.

I ended up buying some re-usable filters for my Keurig. They work fine and let me vary the amount of coffee, and the type of coffee in a cup. Of note, an average K-cup has 12 grams of coffee in it. Meaning that for an average pound of coffee, I'm able to get almost 40 K-cups. At the price of one box of cups. Also, I've noted that the 2.0 cups seem to encourage recycling. Some of them have little peel/pull tabs on them, so when I use the 'factory' cups, I peel the tops, dump the filter and grinds into the green bin and the plastic cup goes into the recycling. Foil goes into the garbage. Reduce a bit of my footprint. MS

Aside from the obvious signs ( i.e. stability in online presence, website, etc) when looking for someone is to go with your gut instincts. Ultimately this is what I do. Have a brief phone conversation with the lady. You can pick up about a lot about a person when doing this. I do this with potential clients. Ask questions and see she how she responds in tone and manner. You will just know. Never ignore this feeling, ever. You cannot ever be certain that someone is coerced into being in this lifestyle but someone's presence ( in person or on the phone) can be very revealing.

I agree. Even if I could get past the obvious environmental disaster of the single use pod, (I read last year that there were already an estimated 6 billion of them in landfills and that was a year ago), I prefer good coffee. I buy mine in whole bean form from a local coffee roaster. I grind it fresh every morning. You can't beat a real cup of fresh brewed coffee.

I bought a bag of humbugs from a cute, tiny shop in Perth!
