I encourage prospective clients to have lunch or dinner to see if they'd like to spend time with me in private on another occasion. Sometimes I have a lot of these meetings booked, and sometimes several weeks may go by without one. I also have clients who like to have lunch before or after, dinner before or after, or a meal instead of a private meeting sometimes. Although I don't ask for them to do so, returning clients tend to pay the same rate for having lunch as they would for staying in.

Thank you for your integrity, dedication and courage, Annessa! I expect the right-wingers, conservatives and the evangelical Christians to oppose decriminalizing prostitution. Those folks have never approved of anything I value, like gay rights, immigration, religious pluralism, desegregation, inter-racial marriage, or women's choices about anything important like education, access to birth control information and services, abortion, divorce, child support--I'm sure you get my drift. What I do not understand is the position taken by many so-called feminists who insist that a prostitute, by definition, cannot make a choice to be in this profession because we're all "trafficked" and "prostituted" by our clients. Someone recently tried to tell me that high-end prostitutes encourage the subjugation of First Nations women by legitimating the sale of sex which encourages men to believe that they're entitled to have sex whenever they want it which, according to this person, ultimately means that First Nations women are cornered into the sex trade because they're denied other options and choices in their lives. Apparently the fact that I charge $300 an hour for my time encourages men who can't afford me to put pressure on aboriginal women to enter the sex trade and to charge much lower fees. Therefore, if I am truly supportive of other women, if I believe that we are fundamentally and essentially equal, and if I am genuinely not racist, I would do something else to earn my living. I was dumbfounded. These so-called feminists just don't get it. They generally refuse to listen to us but when they do, they don't believe what we say despite claiming to believe in every woman's right to tell her story and name her experience. They'll champion our right to safe and effective birth control, and to choose what we want to do in the event that we have an unplanned pregnancy. They'll preach long sermons about women's right to make informed choices about everything.... except when it comes to choosing to provide intimate companionship in exchange for money. In this one case, it seems, our judgment is suspect or has been damaged by having to perform such degrading acts.... WTF?

YS, I think it would be wonderful if we could have you cloned. Seriously, if a companion's rates are too high for a client, he can shop around. Never assume that we haven't done our research. We have very good reasons for setting our rates as we do. There are always other companions available in the area who charge less than we do. We know that. We charge what the market will bear. If a man can't afford my fee, that's not my fault and I don't worry about it. I turn away many more prospective clients than I agree to see.

Thanks, Loki! Travel will be an expense, for sure. It will depend on where the event is held, and when. Maybe some generous people would throw in some air miles? Or maybe we should think of doing these regionally--one in the West, one in the middle, one in the Maritimes? I'm off for a weekend away with my beloved... Play nice and safely everyone!

I also want to say that I'd love to be part of a weekend like this because it would be a rare opportunity for me to be with some other wonderful companions and the men who appreciate us. Social time would be loads of fun, private time would be fabulous!

That's been my experience, too, Angela. I've had a few younger guys, not much under 30, who wanted the "older woman" experience, and they've been polite, respectful, even romantic. It made for a nice session. In general, though, I prefer men who are my age or older, and all of my regular clients are over 50; most are in their late 50s and 60s. It's a good match for me, and they generally say that they asked to see me because I make it so clear in my ads and my website that I'm "mature."

I don't have many no-shows since I started asking new clients to pay a deposit to confirm our first meeting. I've been doing that for a couple of months, and have only had two no-shows in that time. Regular clients sometimes need to cancel, but I've never had one of them not show up or not call. Deciding to ask for the deposit was a tough decision, but fortunately it's gone over very well with the serious inquirers and it's revealed a lot to me about the ones I wouldn't want to see anyway but who are likely to be time-wasters or no-shows. The ones who've paid the deposit (and that's probably about 60-70%) have agreed that if they'd booked a hotel room and not shown up, or cancelled at the last minute, they'd have to pay a fee. At some B&Bs, they might end up paying for the whole booking! With me, it's only $100, and I give first-time clients an "introductory" rate that's $50 lower than the fee for returning clients. A lot of the guys who don't want to pay the fee become surprisingly irritated in their e-mails, saying things like, "Who do you think you are? My time is worth more than yours." A few days ago, someone wrote to me, saying, "A woman in your position should know that she can't expect any guarantees." And one, who'd initially told me that he'd read my website and some of the things I've written here, wrote, "You're obviously a scammer who's out to make a buck for nothing." I don't ask returning clients to pay deposits. PayPal makes it easy and won't reveal the name on the credit card or the card number to me, so the client's identifying info stays private. It only gives the name of the consulting services I've created for the account, so my info is also private.

Samantha applauds Erin in advance....

Hmm... well, my weekend rate, from Friday evening to mid-day Sunday is $3,000, which seems out of kilter for this kind of event. But if I were to entertain, say, five times for up to an hour and a half each time over the weekend, then I'd agree to $1,500 plus travel, accommodation and meals.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, Emma. You're an amazing woman in every way: strong, courageous, thoughtful, and you're a terrific mother, yourself. I'm sure you learned so much from your mother, and I've no doubt at all but that she was proud of you. Take things easy for awhile, if you can.

....Samantha slowly turns her head and her long, dark lashes sweep upward when she settles her gaze on Erin. She gives a slow wink, then, raking the fingers of one hand through her auburn hair, she tosses the mass of it over her shoulder and leans toward Erin. "Flirting with women isn't so hard, Erin. We're just more... subtle, one might say."

I'm an all-weather girl.... :-P

Famous men are just men with more... fame. Sometimes more money, too. Often they have a lot more ego and are used to being catered-to a lot. That's all fine by me, though I don't like it if a client, famous or not, takes the attitude that he's bought me for the evening. I must say, though, that sometimes I have the impression that I'm less safe, or at least more likely to be compromised personally if something untoward happened. Say there was a fire in the hotel, or in my home. The last thing any of our clients want is to be discovered in a compromising situation with one of us. But if the guy is a well-known politician, let's say, I know that I'll end up going from being a "high-end escort/courtesan" to "common hooker" in print! I don't want to imply that celebrities are boorish, insensitive and unpleasant. Far from it. The ones I've met have largely been just like all other clients--decent guys who want some care, attention and stress relief. When they want to be assured that I will keep the meeting confidential, I say the same thing I say to anyone who spends time with me: Your identity is safe with me as long as I'm safe with you.

...is blushing, but manages to recover... You're very sweet, Ava, thank you! I turned the i-phone in at the desk and told them how I'd found the thing. They were very amused.:-D

The "old normal" has more feature-enhancements, though, YS. Because if the man doesn't actually know what to do with the equipment, size doesn't matter at all--it's not going to be wonderful. When he does know what he's doing, size doesn't matter. It's going to be terrific! 8-)

Great questions and ideas, everyone! I'm not sure about the random key swap, though I like the concept! But we're all different women, and I'm sure that there are a couple of men reading this who really don't much care for spinners, let's say, or blondes, or perhaps they're just not yet ready to cope with the erotic delights and demands that are part of the package with a more mature woman <ahem!> :grin: My point is, I would hate for anyone to feel that he didn't get his money's worth, and I would also hate for any of the ladies to feel under-appreciated. Taking over an inn, a large B&B or something like that is probably the most economical way to go and may offer the most in terms of privacy, too. In terms of the companions' fees, I was thinking that we would come up with a figure that worked for everyone and pay a flat rate to each.

I found an i-Phone between the mattress and box spring. I thought I'd heard something ringing, but thought maybe it was the client's phone, at first. It wasn't. It would ring, then stop, and a few minutes later it would ring again. During a break in the proceedings, I reached under the mattress and there it was. I wish I knew the story of how and why it got there. :wink:

Some hope to use surprise to their advantage. This is obviously a winning strategy in many situations, but could be something that a companion might not appreciate. Personally, I once agreed to meet Mr. Smith at the Pan Pacific, but when I arrived, I found that Mr. Smith was actually Mr. Very Famous. I got to the hotel, went up to the suite and he opened the door, but I didn’t get a clear view of him until I’d stepped into the room. He handed me an envelope which I tucked into my bag. “Hmmm, aren’t you Mr. Very Famous?” I asked in what I hoped was a playful tone. “Oh, that,” he said, making a dismissive hand gesture. “I hear that all the time. No. It’s just a coincidence. Would you like a drink?” “Coincidences are so odd. I would swear I heard you on the CBC earlier today, in an interview with Major Journalist.” I used the lightest version of my “mother found out who did it” tone. “And your photograph was in the Globe and Mail on the weekend.” His expression turned stony. “A coincidence, I said. Who do you think you are, to think so much of yourself?” “Me? Oh, maybe it’s just a coincidence, but you can think of me as the One Who Walked Away.” I turned and left. Lots of women would have stayed and I won't judge them for that: they may have been treated very well. I didn’t stay to find out. I might have stayed if he hadn’t lied to me when I challenged him. My number one rule is that my safety, comfort and security come first, no matter who the client is. I kept the fee.

In the past, being a courtesan was a more honourable profession than it may seem to be today, but not even when we were temple priestesses for the old religions were we completely respectable. Nonetheless we are companions to men from all walks of life, including well-known public figures such as politicians, entertainers, musicians, athletes, cardinals and aristocrats. They are just like all other men including that, like all other men, each one is different in his own special way. Let?s talk about clients who are famous men, celebrities and public figures. No names! No inferences about anyone?s identity, when events occurred or anything else, of course. Let?s share some stories about what happened, how things were set up, whether screening worked and that kind of thing. The famous men who lurk may learn a few things! A well-known man may not be well-known to everyone. For example, an older man who is known for his intellectual, political or artistic work may recognize that he is less likely to be recognized immediately by younger women, though he could be quite readily identified by some women closer to his own age. Professional athletes, film and TV stars and top-selling recording artists may be recognized by women of all ages, as are our own country?s political leaders. Politicians from outside Canada may not be so easily identified by sight, however. Famous men sometimes want to be recognized and sometimes they want to be anonymous but their wish for confidentiality and privacy is as great as any other client?s, even if they occasionally go about securing it a little bit differently. A famous man doesn?t register under his public name when he stays in hotels. Someone else likely books the suite for him, or he might use his ?real,? legal name occasionally. While sometimes an assistant may find a companion for him, he is just as likely to find us himself, especially if he wants an extended engagement, or someone he knows may recommend one of us to him. A recommendation is the best way, I think, but it also compromises the client?s privacy. We would not tell client A that we know client B (or anyone else) yet, in this case, that restriction lifts slightly when client B asks if we will meet with the potential client A. Depending on how much the celebrity feels he has to lose, he may engage in a kind of slow courtship, when he can. Several meetings may occur before any overtly erotic activity as he determines whether he can trust the companion enough to risk compromising his identity, reputation or position.

Wow. Okay. I'm going to do some more thinking! Logistics are an issue. How many women? I'm sure lots of us would enjoy this, so how to decide who? How many men? What's realistic for the guys about how many of us they think they can genuinely enjoy over two and a half days or so? Maybe the women should all have been reviewed here, so that members are more likely to take a chance on being with SPs they don't know? On the other hand, that would mean I'd only get to be cruise director! :-D The biggest problem, as I see it, is in being sure enough of the men actually attend. Booking a place shouldn't be difficult, but the organizer(s) could get stuck with expenses for no-shows, which wouldn't be right. Hmmm... Thoughts?

Size does matter, but like the other women have said, only in terms of fit. For overall fun, width is more important to me than length, unless the guy is unusually large. Men who are more than about 8-8.5 inches are difficult for me to take, and I'm not a tiny woman--I'm 5'8" tall. The problem is in the angle of the thrust. If the man is too long, he's likely to be banging against my cervix all the time which is just unpleasant. Worse, he gets dangerously close to hitting an ovary. I imagine it's like being kicked in the balls. :shock:

Okay, I admit it: I do get undressed just about every time. But I will say that sometimes a quickie, without removing any more clothes than absolutely necessary, is a wonderful thing! I have a recent fondness for a particular dress with many, many buttons down the front. Come to think of it, when I got married, long, long years ago, my wedding gown had 50 buttons up the back. Fifty. Tiny ones, too! When he unbuttoned them, that was fun!

Today... the one who made me climax over and over and over and over and over and over... So skilled, so sensitive and adept, it's pretty much all he wanted, interspersed with lots of kissing and cuddling, then back to it again, over and over.... I'm surprised I know my own name. I'm surprised I can walk! I do love this job!

:roll: What? The clothes come off? And here, all these years, I'd thought.... ....................................................... well, never mind! LOL

Thanks, Cato. It might be the wrong time of year to be planning this, anyway. Maybe I'll resurrect the thread in the fall sometime and plan for a date in the late winter somewhere.
