That's a little rude, I think. You know what? I don't believe I have ever had anyone ask me that. If they are really sweet and for some reason get called away (some expected emergency), I might offer them some extra time on their next "paid" appointment. Even then, I have never had them actually "ask" me for that extra time when they rebook.

I agree with many of the comments made here, but basically if FS was off the menu, she should have advised you before you came over that it was her "ladies time". If it came on suddenly and she didn't get that chance, you probably should have rebooked. She might have begged you off from booking on the Friday because she has a long cycle or perhaps did not want to take the chance she'd still be on and wanted to avoid disappointing you again. But my question is the same as Samantha's - was there not some other service she offerred that would have left you satisified or is FS the "home run" for you? The bottom line is, it probably would have been better for you to re-book. Any reputable SP would uderstand it if you wanted to decline.

Having known people who were caught up in the cycle of addiction, I have witnessed first hand the worst of this business. There are what I call "extended pimps". Even though these girls may have told you they weren't forced to work, c'mon - their money was still ending up in the hands of their dealer to feed their addiction. If they owe for fronts or need a phone card and they're broke, sometimes the dealers (or others) will do them favours - so they have to do what they do to avoid being beat up or worse, so they're still caught up in the cycle of having to work. If you're a prostitute and owe a dealer money and can't pay him, see how fast you'll be under his/her thumb. And this can happen to anyone at any age, not just young people. And the person does not have to a drug user themselves. I have known of girls supporting their spouses' drug or gambling addiction by working so they could try and keep a roof over their heads. I know a woman who is in her fifties who advertises on CL (as much younger) and does not have a computer. Up until recently she depended on her dealer to post her ads. If there was a day he didn't have product, he wouldn't put her ad up because he didn't want her making money and buying from someone else. Her whole reason for working is to pay for her addiction but she will tell you that no one makes her do anything. It it not the lifestyle I could stomach. Another example is hanger-ons, so-called friends and boyfriends who encourage the girl to work so they can "party". They don't pimp her per se, but because maybe someone is providing a place to crash or do business, their motive is "encourage" the girl as much as possible to work. And has been said before here, even if someone is being co-erced to work, often they will not want to go against their perpetrator, so it is very hard for the police to make charges stick some times. Being under-age is a little easier for the cops to make a procuring charge stick, but the people orchestrating these things are like cockroaches. The moment you turn on the light, they scatter. And even if you do catch some of them, there are hundreds waiting in the wings. It's so sad, and no matter how the laws are changed, I believe we will always have this element of society attached to business because they view it as quick and easy money to get what they want. It's nice to think we are all independent in that we work when we want, how we want with no one telling us what to do, but some have chosen a lifestyle that although it may start out like that can get very ugly as lines are crossed.

Annessa, your little red flag came up for a reason - he probably figured since he booked you later in the evening that you would be stacked with cash from the day's earnings. Like you suggested, it may have been nothing, but it's strange he did cut the session short. When I arrive at an outcall, after taking care of the business part, I tell the client I have to make a quick call to the person who will be picking me up to confirm to them how long I will be (this is my way of checking in). While I'm making my call, I tuck my money away in a non-obvious spot. Like you Annessa, I never bring money into a call. The driver will call me on my cell if I am not out within 5 minutes of the call being ended, but I usually end up calling them. I've never had any problems with safety or being ripped of where I needed to call in any backup. If the client asks who is picking me up, I just say a friend because you're right, they might get skittish. I am very fortunate in that I have known the owner and most of the guys from the driving service I use for over 5 years and can trust them implicitly. They never come to the door or hover around outside, so there it is very discrete. I think using common sense and paying attention to our spidey senses is the key to minimizing or preventing things happening. For me, so far so good (knock on wood).

I agree with what's already been said here, that you and your wife should decide together with her making the contact. I recommend Carrie Moon who is very "couple friendly".

I like doggie style the best..

Wow, I would think she would have at least invested in a cheap pay-as-you-go cell phone if she was going to work. Wonder if those 5 other people knew what she was up to. Also the phone verification is just to set up the account, does not have to be same number you even post on the ad. CL started that because people were putting up ads impersonating others. It's just there in case you need to report something like that under "abuse" and they can confirm who you are before removing it and ban the party who posted by tracing who they are and not allowing them to post ever again from the account they posted from. Oh, well she sounds like she was naive, but that was lucky for you that worked in your favour.

Yeah, and that is result of two posts being merged into one. Now we have a third!

Probably trying to increase their chances for business as my male friends tell me it's the same on other so-called dating sites as well.

I just have two words for you...Size 8 1/2.

Now that the MOD was so kind to add Timmins to the cities list, stay tuned for what transpires over the next week as I now have an announcement for my planned Dec. 3/4th trip.

Antlerman...you would have been in voyeur paradise!

No insult taken. I have a friend who often calls me when he hears the cops will be doing sweeps which turn out to be street level, but he still gets worried and I listen because even after explaining it to him, he doesn't get it. I agree with Grasshopper - I don't think they are worried too much about the legit providers - they have their hands full with the scammers and those procuring underage etc. to be worried about us. And Cat said it best: The police are not looking for consenting adults who do not make a nuisance of themselves to the community, they are going after the one group that permeates this business and makes it dirty. I for one support this effort and I think we do not need to become paranoid and blow this out of perspective. But the MOD is right, we still need to mindful of these things. An as a wise older SP in this community once told me "if they really want to bust you, they will" (what happens after that is another story). As much as we may not like it, that's just an occupational hazard one needs to accept if you're in this business.

If not to make money, definitely for us to listen again for a few laughs. You have to admit, it was kind of funny, especially the words spoken to help facilitate the "happy ending".... You do remember them, I hope so you can do the same.

For some reason, I thought you still had a tongue ring. I guess I couldn't feel the difference either (just joking...couldn't resist).

I have a client who comes to see me every month or so, who went to see another SP in this community only once because after his first SOG, she got up, left the room, came back dressed and handed him his watch as if to say...time's up. He said he didn't even want to come twice. He would have appreciated cuddling or just talking for the last 20 minutes which remained since he paid her for an hour (and always tips at the end as well). Oh well, her loss, my gain (meow!)

Unfortunately though Cat, that is usually not the case. They don't bring anything to the table. I got offered $60 and some booze the other day, but I was not in the market for that. I have always said I would trade a good used car for ongoing services but I know some gentlemen who have been burned doing that, so perhaps my expectations are a little high. I remember this one from last summer during the heat wave in Vancouver. "Will "fuck" for an a/c."

I believe Cat summed it up - it can be annoying for sure, but I try not to let it get to me when it happens because after all, we have no control over other people. Occupational hazard, I suppose I find more of that with guys calling from CL - goes with the territory I suppose. I heard an SP retort one time to someone by saying, "do I go to your restaurant and offer you $10 for the steak dinner you're advertising for $20.... As much as I am tempted to use sarcasm like that, I usually just politely say no and leave it at that. Even putting "no discounts" or "no bargaining" in your ads doesn't always work. A lot of would-be clients can't read obviously (or ignore it).

As an SP who offers half hour calls, it's those guys I get a kick out. I Can count on one hand the number of double shotters I've had in half an hour. I find that most of them are more excited about the idea that they can come more than once in half an hour than actually do it. If the subject comes up and tell them they can, they seem so grateful that that makes me feel (almost as) good as the actual sex.

In retrospect, my ex-husband, who I divorced was still better than any subsequent boyfriends. Sometimes I think I should never have left him especially since we are still on friendly terms and I see what he's up to (via Facebook, etc.) I believe if he were available and open to it, I would consider trying again with him, even after all these years. But, at least it has made me wiser about what I am willing to accept and not accept in a relationship should I ever wish to commit to someone again. I also think about another friend (who ended marrying another friend in my circle of friends way back in my late teens/early 20s) who was totally in love with me, worshipped the ground I walked on and would have married me in a heartbeat. He also turned out to be fairly successful and financially set. I think about how I would have it made now if I went for thim. But then when I hear his wife tell stories of certain things that go on in their life, I think to myself "what an old grumpy cout he's turned into). So you just never know, but I do agree with Michelle.

So I think the consensus is, you need to ask first. I've only had someone cum a third time (in a hour) once in the past 15 years I have been doing this. But you're welcome to give it a shot (or more) with me anytime!

When I go to an outcall, I always check in/check out with my driver. Even though they do not hover around waiting right in front of the place, the client knows someone else is aware of me being there. As for in-calls, because I work only days and tend to get the business man or family man and make sure I have a number for them which if anything was to ever happen to me, that number could be found on my phone record. I have had very few try to pull anything funny on me. (Over the years a few have tried to short me, or say they had to go to the car to get the money (money first, then the service, buddy). Once someone tried to switch the money with Canadian Tire money, but I now count and put my money away and don't let them see where I'm putting it.. Most SPs I know who have been robbed have been ripped off by other SPs, or so-called boyfriends or friends, not clients. At this stage of my life, I would not be sharing a room with anyone who would steal from me. If they did, it would only be once that's for sure.

I have always had the "escort mindset that I charge for my time, not specific acts per se, I have always offerred MSOG. I always say, "you can have as many servings as you like as long as it's on the menu" or "you can go as many times around the world as you like" (time permitting of course). I believe that if a client knows he can if he wishes, that sets the tone from the beginning. Whether they actually have the appetite or inclination to do so is another matter. I have had clients insist they absolutely wanted MSOG and when they went the first round, were content to just leave it at that (their choice). I have had others be pleasantly surprised when they found out they could during the session because other SPs did not offer them that. I agree, it's best to ask up front when booking because services vary from one agency and SP to another.

Just how common is this? I believe it has happened and could happen but thinking back, I have been an escort since 1995, have worked with many agencies and SPs over the years and have never known this to happen to anyone specifically around Christmas. Your suggestion was a good one. Also, more importantly, don't let guys know how "busy" you are - which is to say how many calls you had so far that day (or week) and never carry or keep large amounts of cash around. That's just common sense. This reminds me of a story I heard that was going around a couple of years ago concerning an SP who had $65K stashed in a coffee can and let a client see her put the money in there. I am not saying she deserved to be robbed, but c'mon - that was not very smart. In short, we all need to be attentive to our surroundings and who we talk to and be careful about what we talk about, specifically how many calls or how much money we have made recently and not be flashing wads of cash around.
