Maison Massage is one of my favorite places. I would recommend Aniah and Little Nadia, who has returned to massaging a couple days a week after having given birth. Little Nadia's recommendation thread is here: Little Nadia

Some of the numbers in the poll are quite interesting. First of all, comparing the numbers with those in the earlier Angus-Reid polls, cited by WrinkledinTime, support for the legalization of brothels in Canada seemed to have decreased somewhat, which is disappointing. Secondly, support in Western Canada is higher in the West than in the East, which goes against the image of pro-Conservative pro-Harper West. The numbers for Quebec are not included in the story. Quebecers are generally more progressive and one would suspect that support in Quebec would be high. The poll results also show a major difference in the opinion of men vs women on the issue.

Brittany works as an MPA at two different massage salons in Montreal - Studio Mabella and Spa Abandon. She is actually in Montreal only 6 months of the year, spending the other 6 months at her second home on the French Riveria. I recently had my first session with Brittany at Mabella, located just east of Plateau Mont-Royal. "Gem" is a word that is somewhat over-used by hobbyists. However, without a doubt, Brittany is a true gem in every sense of the word. As a hobbyist, I have found that there are certain rare landmark sessions that stand out, and that one remembers for a long time. My first session with Brittany is without a doubt one such landmark session. Meeting her for the first time is utterly breathtaking. She is stunningly beautiful and has a perfect little petite body. And when she stands before you nude for the first time she is awe inspiring. Brittany is personable, pleasant and a real pleasure to be with. She is relaxed, confident, upbeat and very easy to talk to. Conversation with Brittany is relaxed and enjoyable. It should be noted that my conversation with Brittany was in French only. She did mention at one point during our conversation that she does not speak much English. She is also 100% present during the entire session. She gives her all during the session to ensure maximum satisafaction. Her commitment and motivation to ensuring satisfaction is very much evident throughout the massage session. She seems driven to ensuring that you come away from the session totally satisfied, and she succeeds in this endeavour with flying colours. Brittany is a highly sensual person. Her intense sensuality permeats the entire session. Her Thai massage is unlike any other I have experienced previously and surpasses them all. You are swept away by the affirmation of her sensuality in a wave carrying you into a state of utter ecstasy ot total pleasure. I will definately be repeating with Brittany very soon. Seeing Brittany at the end of 2011 certainly made that my last session of the year a memorable one. I also plan to start the new year off right by scheduling my first session of the year with Brittany as well. My session with Brittany was a wonderfully memorable experience!

I voted "Downtown". With respect to a preference between a Montreal hotel, motel or private residence, I would prefer the latter. In the case of downtown Montreal, this would mean a condo or apartment building.

Do SPs and MPAs give Christmas gifts to their clients? This year, even though I was a first time client, I received a calender from an MPA containing 12 months of pictures of herself (a sort of Sports Illustrated Swimwear-type calender, with her as the only model). I guess I owe her a gift back. Here's an article on gift suggestions for clients: "Spending On Your Big Spender: Holiday Gifts For Clients" - http://titsandsass.com/?p=6884

I originally posted this in the the SP gift thread in the Newbie section - http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=26346 It might be more appropriate here. "Being Nice to the Professionally Naughty: Holiday Gifts for Sex Workers" - http://titsandsass.com/?p=6886

I found this on another site: What do you say if your SO finds your hobby phone? Oh that? Thats an old phone about three phones ago. I lost it and it just resurfaced...dont know what to do with it. I heard you can donate these to the needy or veterns so i was saving it for that...or maybe i'll save it as a back up. Or Oh that phone....That's Jimmy from work. I dropped him off at the body shop Friday and he left it in the front seat of my car. I got to get that back to him. Or Thats my new work phone. they were calling me on my personal cell and I complained and they gave me one for business only.

I have also experienced mixed results with well-reviewed ladies, although I originally selected both of my current favs because they had been very well reviewed. I agree that it all comes down to chemistry and connection, which cannot be predicted based on ads, bios, reviews or recommendations. However, my experience has not led me to ignore reviews and recommendation. A large part of doing one's homework prior to selecting a lady consists of reading her reviews and recommendations. I also agree with ottawaadventurer that reviews and recommenations may be more useful in terms of helping us avoid bad encounters than ensuring good ones, but to ignore reviews and recommendations entirely essentially means you are TOFTT every time you vist a new lady. I also agree that speaking to a lady over the telephone prior to an appointment is probably the best way to predict whether you will "click" with her in person. However, it is not a guarantee. Also, some ladies make pre-arrangements via email only and not via phone. And for some, especially newbies, first telephone conversations with an escort are too stressful to be of much use as a means of determining whether there is a connection or not. The bottom line for me is that reviews and recommendations remain an essential element of selecting a lady, but are no way a guarantee of success.

My expectation with regards to a reasonable reply time frame is based on her posted schedule, since I usually request an appointment only after reviewing her schedule. During the days she is working I expect to receive a reply within 24 hours. During the days when she is off, it think it is reasonable to allow more time for a reply. I would also like to mention that sometimes a provider will reply with a very short abrupt reply, obviously without having really read the entire email, and without addressing any of the questions or preferences discussed in the email. I have been told by providers that they sometimes do this when they are very busy, don't have the time to reply in detail, but don't want to delay their reply by too much. In such cases, I would prefer to wait for a more complete reply, or at least receive a follow-up email when she has more time to read my email and reply properly.

I choose an SP/MPA based on reviews/recommendations. However, reviews/recommendations usually cover three main areas of evaluation, all three of which are also options of this poll: Looks/Body Type (Beauty) Services (Performance) Personality (Attitude) Of these, the most important to me is Personality (Attitude)

- Some of those already mentioned, plus: - Duo/4-hands with twins (probably destined to remain a fantasy) - Outdoor sex

This question is addressed primarily to the ladies of CERB, but everyone's input is appreciated. What is the primary motivation for SPs and MPAs travelling for business? This question came to my mind because some of the SPs and MPAs I have selected to see seem to leave town quite often for other cities in Canada and the US. When you are trying to book a local provider who travels a lot it is a bit of a nuisance because they are not available half of the time. I am therefore curious as to why some SPs travel for business and others do not. How do SPs feel about travelling? What is the main reason providers travel for business? Is it because the local market is too small, or because you prefer variety to seeing the same regular customers all the time? Is it because you are adventurous by nature or perhaps you want to learn about more about the business? When I asked this question to SPs and hobbyists on Twitter, I received the Kevin O'Leary response - It's all about the MONEY. I'm curious about how the ladies of CERB feel. Do you travel for business? Why or Why not?

And if you're into erotic massage, do yourself a favor, and go see Little Nadia at Maison Massage.

The Montreal Mirror's annual Best of Montreal - Best Restaurants Section is an excellent reference for what you are looking for: (http://www.montrealmirror.com/wp/2011/05/12/chowtime) The survey also contains others sections, such as Nightlife, Film/Arts, and City Life, which includes such interesting items as the best places in Montreal to have public sex. Enjoy your visit to Montreal, where you will come across some of the world's most beautiful women.

The Montreal Mirror's Best of Montreal 2011, Nightlife Section (http://www.montrealmirror.com/wp/2011/05/12/nightlife), is also a good year-round reference on where to have fun in Montreal.

There is now a video showing the kissing couple in the Vancouver riot being attacked by the riot squad (http://jezebel.com/5815271/the-video-of-the-kiss-that-wasnt-a-kiss)

I think there is a place for both serious and fun threads on CERB, and everyone has the choice to read what interests them. I would argue the opposite of the previous posters. Sometimes a serious thread can be hijacked by a poster who makes a joke and it is picked up by others, effectively killing the thread. I think the bottom line is that the hobbyists and ladies on CERB may be interested in discussing both serious and fun topics, and we should allow for both, without imposing our own individual preferences on others.

Montreal held it's SlutWalk on Sunday. Here is the news and video report on the event: "SlutWalk movement comes to Montreal" http://montreal.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20110529/mtl_slutwalk_110529/20110529/?hub=MontrealHome This may answer your questions. And since you were also interested in seeing men dress slutty, you can see some in the video as well :icon_smile:

Here is the type of question asked in the study: http://www.cbc.ca/news/yourcommunity/2011/05/smiling-men-study-do-women-prefer-bad-boys.html Here is more info on the results, including an interview with one of the researchers: http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/story/2011/05/24/science-smile-men-attractive.html

The results of a study just released in the journal Emotion indicate that women are more attracted to men who are "moody and ashamed" and least attracted to "smiling, happy men", while men are least attracted to women who appeared "proud and confident." Read more: http://www.upi.com/Health_News/2011/05/24/Women-not-attracted-to-happy-smiling-men/UPI-82821306273160/#ixzz1NPx7UTFL It is interesting that in the client-escort relationship the desirable attributes would seem to be exactly the opposite of these. In the case of an SP, confidence is a very desirable characteristic, and the Aimee Mullins quotes rings very true: "Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have". Also, because clients are often nervous, they need the SP to be confident enough to take charge put them and ease, in order for the session to be a success. With regards to the other side of the client-SP relationship I would be interested in the opinion of the ladies of CERB. However, I would venture to guess that SPs would much prefer "smiling, happy" clients to clients who are "moody and ashamed". I just found it very interesting how what is desirable in real world relationships seems to be exactly the opposite to what applies in client-SP relationships.
