Actually I think if one is looking for a toy that guys will appreciate for the 'tech' appeal then you want to look into the OhMiBod line, and I think that Better than Chocolate is the one you want to pick up for your partner. As a companion I would recommend buying it for that guy you see on a semi-regular basis, put on some music when you see him and incorporate it in your encounter. Toys of this style can be used for both partners, the ergonomic design is comfortable and can be used in a number of imaginitive ways on both partners bodies. When he leaves ask him to come up with an interesting playlist that you can use for next time, he'll be thinking about it, have to think of all those pulsating beats, how they will build up and what you'll be doing... what he'll be doing to you. Does he want something slow and sensual or something hard and fast? Maybe he'll have to find music he doesn't even listen too normally just to find a rhythm that he wants (some Drum & Base?) or perhaps you'll discover that a the song On Top of Spaghetti really does turn you on. :D It's fun and can be a whole new experience for the two of you, and if you search the site you'll see they even have a wearable version so if you have a date that you go out with... take her to a club and watch, some songs might just have a great baseline. http://www.ohmibod.com/wireless-vibrators/better-than-chocolate.php

I would book any lady that had this, she will keep me happy for hours... I like to role play as Mr. Blue. ;) Okay sorry Meg I really couldn't resist the guys had me excited there. I know the question wasn't directed at the women but since I couldn't keep out of the thread I guess I should make a productive contribution as well. I've done a few product reviews on other boards, about the vibes listed below they are all great for a number of reasons. As a voyeur I believe there is nothing more erotic than being able to get a window into ones most private and personal moments, I find it provides a glimpse of who that person really is, so for me the toys one prefers solo are meant to be shared. A couple I keep in my purse... http://www.comeasyouare.com/default/index.cfm/shop/product/bSwish-bCurious-Rechargeable-Vibrator/ http://www.comeasyouare.com/default/index.cfm/shop/product/Lelo-Ina-Rabbit-Vibrator/ http://www.comeasyouare.com/default/index.cfm/shop/product/Lelo-Mia-USB-Vibrator/ And finally one I've not tried yet but I am hoping to pick up next month, if nothing else just for the novelty of it. http://www.comeasyouare.com/default/index.cfm/shop/product/The-Sqweel-Vibe/ Just think it could provide rimming for you! :shock:

*cough* ahem... what about the tech minded ladies on the board? We also look good. ;) Here's a couple more that you might want to look into... http://www.ringcentral.com/ http://www.comcanada.ca/

Nice work ladies. This is what goes through my head on a daily basis...

Yes but Sara what you are talking about is legislating morality versus asking people to be responsible parents, they are entirely different things. People should be responsible for their children and what they see, wear, and what they expose them to and when, I agree with that, however to ask the government to censor that and to legislate it for everyone I do not agree with, I believe it is up to the individual adult to be responsible for their own actions and for individual parents to be responsible for the actions of their children, the government should not dictate our sexuality which includes the clothing we wear. Of course this is just my opinion and I respect that everyone has the right to their own (bring back the sanity ;) ) but I do believe legislating our skirt lengths, what shirts a woman wears, etc. goes to far, it speaks of of an inherent sexism in our culture that should not be tolerated.

You know the world has gone mad when you're in Italy and can't enjoy a nice game of football in the park and admire a beautiful woman walking past in a short skirt. I would assume that is a way of life for many Italian men, to outlaw it should be a crime in itself! And banning making sandcastles! What will the kids do now?

Do people still have those? ;-) I got rid of mine about 7 years ago and haven't looked back. I use my cell for most everyday calls but I do have a Softphone for when I'm travelling or making long distance calls.

Enjoy! http://www.realmofdarkness.net/sounds/dynamite/dynamite-soundboard-8.htm I prefer this one... http://www.realmofdarkness.net/pc/sb/rogers/2

Some bitch ruined my weekend plans!

This is one of my favorite quotes: The question to ask should not be: Do we have something in common - reason, self-consciousness, a soul - with other animals? (With the corollary that, if we do not, then we are entitled to treat them as we like, imprisoning them, killing them, dishonoring there corpses). I return to the death camps, the horror that convinces us that what went on there was a crime against humanity, is not that despite a humanity shared with their victims, the killers treated them like lice. That is too abstract. The horror is that the killers refused to see themselves in the place of their victims, as did everyone else. They said 'It is they in those cattle-cars rattling past.' They did not say, 'How would it be if it were I in that cattle-car?' They did not say, 'It is I who am in that cattle-car,' They said, "It must be the dead who are being burnt today, making the air stink and falling ash on my cabbages.' They did not say, 'How would it be if I were burning?' They did not say, 'I am burning, I am falling in ash.' In other words, they closed their hearts. -J.M. Coetzee In regards to the initial post I am on the fence about it, the title clearly states the purpose so one doesn't need to click on the thread unless they are interested in it, I take greater issue with threads where the title has absolutely nothing to do with the content. It also provides further insight into who Riley is as a person and what her values are which can be helpful for a client in deciding who to see. I personally prefer to keep my politics off the board and I do see this as a political issue but there have been plenty of posts in the past by other members that are on par with this. I suspect it's the way that it was posted that has caused this concern, if someone had posted a link to an article discussing the proposed legislation then in closing stated "I was pretty upset about this and decided to sign a petition to help stop it. What are your thoughts?" I don't think it would appear as spam but rather a discussion point for the board.

Sons of Anarchy Entourage Mad Men The IT Crowd (UK show) Shows that aren't running now but are still fairly recent Dexter (premieres Sept. 26) 24 Heroes House Californication and to a lesser extent Burn Notice I also catch The Daily Show and The Colbert Report when I can. :)

I love that movie/show! I'm dating myself here but growing up in the 80's in a dance studio I lived and breathed this show. This was one of my favorite songs, I can still picture a very young me dancing around the house in my leg warmers and headband! Sara don't stop just remember that fame and notoriety are very different animals.

I believe everything varies, if it doesn't than I am not reactive to my partner and instead would just be going through the motions. When I see somebody that experience is unique, that person will not have the same date as someone else nor should they expect too. I may meet one date and enjoy a leisurely conversation, wine, candles and sensual seduction. I may meet another person the following week where we are insatiable in our sexual appetites, conversation goes almost no where but sexual chemistry is through the roof. One can't predict that chemistry nor do I believe in faking or forcing it, letting our personal interests and curiosity in our partner dictate the pace allows for a greater exploration of our own sexuality. What I enjoy with one person is never the same with another partner, thus everything varies depending on who I connect with on that particular day.

I'm a Torontonian, but I believe every other city in Canada has a few choice names for us. :roll:

If you have difficulty asking the information you need you may wish to look at using a different medium to talk, sometimes it's difficult to get the phrasing right over the phone but in an email you can review your questions to ensure the tone is correct. The reverse may also be true for some, I have spoken to some people where English is their second language and they struggle with the nuances of the written word however on the phone they feel much more confident. Find the medium that you are most comfortable in and connect with the lady in it. In regards to asking specific questions, take a moment to review them and the phrasing and see if it's something the lady may find offensive or if you are contacting the wrong lady for the type of service you seek. A common misconception is that all ladies offer similar services but they do not, contacting a lady that promotes "companionship" and asking for a detailed menu of services will not be received well, much the same that contacting a lady that advertises explicit sexual services is not likely to entertain a lot of emails that ask questions not specific to her services. If you are finding that more often than not the ladies are not welcoming your question than you may find the question itself isn't appropriate, at least at your current relationship level. The companions in this industry learn over time there are certain questions we don't ask our dates in initial exchanges, these questions can often appear nosy or intrusive to our clients personal lives but if we continue to see them and develop some trust in the relationship the question is a part of everyday conversation. The reverse is also true, sometimes you need to establish a level of comfort with a particular lady before asking certain questions, this may not assist you in deciding which lady to see but in every exchange there is some level of risk, the lady doesn't know you so she cannot say where on the YMMV scale you may be.

I just wanted to thank everyone for their PM's and replies (in case I missed someone). I have indeed decided to visit Halifax for the festival and might even visit a few of the other venues and events that were suggested to me if time permits. Thanks so much and I appreciate all the information! :)

I thought I'd share as everyone seems a little on edge tonight... enjoy! ;)

Personally I'd rather someone let me know if they are unable to make it than not show up at all. The reasoning is secondary, sometimes it may help me to grow my business (or as a person) but other times it may be irrelevant to me and I do not really need to know. If you wanted to know what his actual reason for cancelling was you could always contact him after with a polite note and let him know that you noticed he saw another lady at that time and would like to know the reason he had to cancel the call, explain to him this type of feedback allows you to further develop your business and is useful to you. Some people are okay with providing that information when in a business context but you have to frame it as such and depersonalize it in order to allow him to safely provide criticism without feeling like he is personally insulting you. In addition it's important that you accept that not everyone will want to or care to provide that information, they are the client and they can set the boundaries for disclosure. It's also helps to keep in mind why people lie, we all do it but the reasoning can vary from one person to another. Sometimes we lie to avoid conflict, sometimes to spare another persons feelings, sometimes to avoid punishment, sometimes it's a fear of rejection, etc. He may have felt that providing his actual reason would have caused a conflict he did not wish to deal with or perhaps he thought that he was sparing your feelings as we often read on the boards reminders that the ladies 'are human too' and it's not polite to treat them as just a business. It's not easy for the gentlemen to navigate these relationships as they have an entirely different dynamic than the ones they are used to at work or at home, it takes time to learn the intricacies involved.

Yep, most of these viruses are a pretty easy fix. I am giggling at the idea that you may have opened up your work email (rather than personal) and can only imagine what your date might be thinking - he saw you a couple days ago and today he gets an email from you recommending viagra. :shock: LOL!

As tempting as it is to want to tell someone that they aren't worth your time/effort I find the opposite approach to be just as effective and in the end it allows you to walk away head held high. Emma knows her value she doesn't need to prove it to anyone nor will any one comment change or reduce that value. I've received my share of these comments in the past and I respond with something along the lines of "Yes I am [worth it] I believe we all are. You earned the money because someone believed you had value, something to contribute as do I. Unfortunately I don't believe we should meet as I believe it's important to approach a date with an open mind and willingness to engage each person as an individual and not view the date as a transaction, as such I believe we would be poorly suited for each other." Oh and as everyone is throwing in quotes, here's a couple I used on another board when someone commented that I needed to be realistic about my value. I believe they are good to keep in mind not just when you contact a lady looking for a date (or when we respond) but with each interaction we have with another being. “Our inner strengths, experiences, and truths cannot be lost, destroyed, or taken away. Every person has an inborn worth and can contribute to the human community. We all can treat one another with dignity and respect, provide opportunities to grow toward our fullest lives and help one another discover and develop our unique gifts. We each deserve this and we all can extend it to others.” - Anonymous “If each man or woman could understand that every other human life is as full of sorrows, or joys, or base temptations, of heartaches and of remorse as his own . . . how much kinder, how much gentler he would be.” - William Allen White

Thank you! I am a bit concerned about the dinner as I'm a vegetarian, I know most places I've been are accommodating but that often depends on the size of the event. I suppose it won't hurt to ask, the worst they can say is no (oh wait they could make fun of my rabbit food ;) ). I looked at the flight options and it's pretty reasonable right now, Porter is amazing so it's looking like I have my fall vacation picked. Everyone that responded (most via PM) had only good things to say about the festival so I can't think of a reason why I shouldn't go. Additional Comments: Me the Mistress of Tease? I'm an innocent! ;-) As for the wines, I'll have to reserve judgement until later. It does sound like an interesting challenge and one I am sure would be fun trying to meet. Do you think they will have an afternoon seminar on that? "Red Wine Tips for a 3rd Date"

I had an issue similar as well, I wish I could blame it on my kids but mine are of the 4 legged variety and I don't think they were using the computer (on the computer is a different story :roll: ). I also wasn't able to boot up in safe mode but I was able to boot up using Knoppix which I used to pull all my important files off (hoping they weren't infected!) then I did a fresh install. In the end it took less than a day and was free. If you aren't familiar with Linux ask someone to help you navigate it so you can quickly and easily find your files and load them onto a USB stick so you can reinstall later. Good luck! :)

Well I bet we could come up with a great pairing. A healthy 'kitty' should have an acidity comparable to a nice red, of course I think we'd both appreciate one with a nice balance, bouquet and long legs. So if not the Margaux what wine do you think would compliment that? Or would you prefer to keep it simple and just have a wine and cheese pairing?
