Interesting article and great responses Lindsay. Good luck with the project. I had also heard from another lady that US Border Protection will identify sex workers based on tattoos that appear in their ads which is why she chooses to blur or remove them from her pictures. Law enforcement can be very creative and resourceful when it comes to identifying persons of interest.

I'm a hugger but I wait for the lady to initiates it. A hug creates an instant chemistry and sets the mood. Although a generalization, I have found that the few less than satisfying encounters I've had have started out with the lady maintaining a distance. But I do understand that some ladies may be waiting to "feel" things out and gain a feeling of comfort and security before heating up.

Congrats Someguy on 8 years of fun and excitement. I'm also coming up on 8 years on this board and agree with your observations. The ladies I have met on Cerb/Lyla are wonderful, caring spirits that know how to brighten our days. And with those that we establish a "relationship" or connection the times are even more special. Here's to another 8 years of fun for you and the ladies you meet.

I understand what you are saying and I'm sure you are far more conversant with the new laws than I am. Something that as a hobbyist I should get better informed on. However, not all ladies have websites which I agree are a great way to let potential clients know what the SP is comfortable sharing and allows for a greater amount of comfort for the client in determining if there might be a good fit with the lady. And yes, it is always the responsibility of the client to do his or her own research. But if you can help point the client towards research sources I believe it helps with the SPs "marketing". As far as "making public your opinions/suggestions will have to stop", I thought that this was the purpose of these discussion boards. People can express opinions or ideas (without being malicious) and other members of the board can express counter points if necessary. Healthy discussions of different views is a good thing, IMO. If I have expressed an idea that is inherently dangerous then please explain the errors of my ways and thereby educating everyone. I respect all the ladies in this industry and would never want to suggest something that would endanger them. BTW, I haven't suggested anything that I haven't seen on a variety of ad sites and boards including Lyla. So if posting links or referring to reviews in an ad is dangerous then here is an opportunity to educate the many ladies that do this of the dangers they may not be aware of. Cheers, WT

Happy birthday lovely lady! Hope you have a wonderful day.

I understand Malika's point about professional vs selfie pics, both from a cost to the ladies and quality perspective. They are much nicer and present the ladies in a classy way. I also agree with Meaghan's comment "let non lyla providers know of this site". However, we hobbyists, in general, have a smaller voice than the ladies in that their ads receive a lot more views than most of the hobbyists' comments. While we do our part to spread the word to use Lyla, I think it would also be beneficial to all if the ladies also referred to Lyla in their ads, perhaps by pointing towards their splendid reviews. It will help quickly filter out the fake ads, promote Lyla to those that aren't members (providers and hobbyists), and aid the hobbyist in finding the reviews to see if the lady in question might be a good fit. The latter point may also help filter out some of the calls the ladies receive from hobbyists that would not be a good match. Meanwhile, even though I may peruse Leo List out of curiosity, I will continue to use Lyla as my primary source to meet wonderful ladies.

Had the pleasure of meeting Nadia recently. She is very beautiful and very skilled. Her Italian/French passion is evident in the look in her eyes, her conversation, and everything she does. Already looking forward to seeing her again.

Great pics Notch. Although I must admit that a few times I had to look again to find their legs. I'm obviously easily distracted. ;-)

So tragic. My heart goes out to all the families and friends of those killed or injured in this horrific accident.

Just as I wouldn't ask a provider for additional photos showing her face, I wouldn't be comfortable sending them a photo of my face. I understand why some ladies may think this is necessary for their security, but if you are not comfortable with providing a photo move on to another provider. This is no different than various providers having different screening criteria. Each must decide what they (SP and hobbyist) are comfortable with and work with that. JMHO

Well said Double Vee, I totally agree with many of your sentiments. The experiences I enjoy the most are those in which I probably have spent half the time or more just talking. It's like suddenly we realize their is another part to our getting together and move on to other activities. As good as the second half may be, it's the "connection" I feel we made in the first half that brings me back for more. Real or otherwise it's that feeling that they give you that you really matter that makes the experience feel special. And to those special ladies that are able to create that environment I say thank you!

In the same way that I would expect a provider to let me know that I had crossed a line, I would either answer vaguely (don't make up a story, you'll never remember what you told her :icon_smile:) or just say that I'm not comfortable discussing that. As you would respect such a response from the provider, she should also respect your boundaries. In either case there shouldn't be any hard feelings, its just showing respect for each others personal boundaries.

I finally took the plunge and went for an MA visit. I had long been looking at Lany's profile and greatly enjoyed what she wrote and loved her photos, especially her smile. I contacted her and made an appointment. We exchanged a messages prior to the appointment which only served to increase the anticipation. Once I arrived a took a quick shower. When Lany walked through the door I was greeted by an incredibly beautiful lady, motherhood agrees with her! She had me hop up on the table and she began to give me a wonderful massage. Everything said about her in past recommendations is true. She is a pleasure to talk to and a sight to behold. It was a great experience, one that I look forward to repeating.

I once again had the great pleasure of enjoying the sweet company of Monique. Every time I see her two thoughts immediately spring to mind. "Why has it been so long?" and "No way I will let so much time slip by again before seeing her." Alas, time has a way of slipping by so quickly. Those that have met her know that everything stated in the previous posts is not only true but an understatement. She is incredibly beautiful, with eyes and a smile that light up the room. It seems whenever we get together we spend so much time catching up and laughing that before you know half the time is gone. Not that I'm complaining, I could spend the entire time just enjoying her sense of humour. We eventually move on to other things and every visit seems to be different than the last. Each meeting is also better than the last as we build a closer connection through all the silly things we laugh about. Monique, I'll be back again soon. I promise! Brazerio

Welcome to Ottawa. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

As Ddbass34 pointed out in his link, there are many advantages and reasons to repeat with someone. The only disadvantage for me is when you have built that relationship over time and then they move on to new adventures in their lives and you feel like you have lost a friend and confidant. But to paraphrase the old saying - it is better to have made a friend and lost them than to never have made a friend at all.

I agree with the common thread that there is a certain chemistry that fulfills the fantasy we have when we begin this hobby. For me that usually involves developing trust with each other to the point of feeling comfortable enough to share a little of ourselves that we would normally keep hidden behind a mask. Before moving back to Ottawa I had the pleasure of getting to know one lady very well. That familiarity and trust manifested itself in many ways that produced incredible visits. In between visits we would maintain contact by email, and still do, just to see how each other is doing. For me it's special and rare when you can feel like you have developed a true friendship, within the bounds of the hobby, that transcends the purely physical act and evolves into a form of intimacy that enhances everything else that is part of the visit.

I generally had good luck with Preferred411.com. You pay for the service and need a reference from a provider to join. I liked that I never encountered any bait & switch and with the reference requirement for both the clients and SP/MAs there is a little added comfort. Once you are established many of the ladies will accept your P411 status as your reference.

Today I had the great pleasure of meeting Mademoiselle Carla. As a cautious hobbyist I usually visit ladies that have positive reviews as the few times I ignored this step I have been burned in one way or another. Despite looking here and on other boards, I couldnâ??t find any reviews and Carla looked TGTBT. I contacted her and based on our email exchanges decided to take a chance and TOFTT. Am I ever glad I did! Carla is as beautiful in person as she is in her pictures. What you donâ??t see is her beautiful smile and sexy bedroom eyes that draw you in to her as you simply enjoy being in her company. As she has stated in her ads, English is not her first language, and even though my French is non-existent there was no problem communicating. When I arrived Carla greeted me in a sexy black dress that accentuated her incredible body. We chatted for a bit to get to know each other a little. We then went off to the playroom where we started off with some great DFK. As Iâ??m not a writer for Penthouse I wonâ??t try to describe the intimate details of our time together, besides I want to keep some things to myself. Needless to say Carla is a very passionate woman and there is nothing mechanical. My only problem was that our time flew by too quickly. She doesnâ??t visit Ottawa often but when she does I will definitely be repeating!

I can't argue with either Jessy Celeste or Sasha May as they are both incredible and two of my favourites. I will add another favourite of mine to the list of truly great and passionate kissers - Monique Matheson.

I am fully in favour of breakfast dates. Is there a better way to start off the day than in the company of a lovely person, engaged in where ever our conversation takes us?

I've been away from the Ottawa scene for several years. Since returning I have had the pleasure of meeting a few new ladies as well as getting re-acquainted with a few from the past. A couple of weeks ago I met up with Jessy at the OIC social. Even though we hadn't seen each other for quite some time her face seemed to light up as she recognized me. At first I thought it might be simply her playing to my vanity but after talking for a bit she started to recall details from the past. Amazing! I have trouble remembering what I had for breakfast yesterday. Although I had been hoping to see her again soon, that encounter firmed up the need to see her ASAP. Yesterday I was finally able to meet up with her. We spent so much time talking about a variety of things that before we knew it half our time was already gone. We quickly remedied that, shed our clothes and started having fun. Wow, I had forgotten just how enjoyable time spent with Jessy is. We both had a great time and when it was time to leave it was on wobbly legs. I promised Jessy it won't be years in between visits again. She offers duos but I think that such an experience would likely end in a coronary for me.

Thanks to Nathalie, Daisy, Cleo, and all their lovely assistants for organizing such a great evening. I hope that the fundraising went well and that the OIC will provide a much needed service to the Ottawa community of SPs and MAs. After all, in the end we all win if we have a safe and discreet community in which to hobby. Here's looking forward to the next social gathering. Cheers, WildTiger

I was never able to make it to the CERB Socials in the past so I'm looking forward to finally being able to attend this one.

Today the stars finally aligned for me and I was able to find a time that was convenient for both Sasha and myself. I had been hoping to see her for a while, in part due to her beautiful photos and in part due to the wonderful reviews on this site (thanks to all those that took the time to write about Sasha). Setup was easy via text messaging. When I arrived at the appointed time and walked through her door the first thing that struck me was how beautiful she is. When she smiles her whole face smiles and she has a beautiful sparkle in her eyes. My second thought was this is going to be fun as she pulled me in close for a passionate embrace and kissing. We spent a while getting to know a little about each other before shedding our clothes and moving on to the main event. Sasha is an incredible kisser and seems to really enjoy intimate contact. Without going into details, I'm not an erotica author and what happened during out time together is to be stored in my memory bank for me to think back upon. Leave it to say that Sasha and I enjoyed our time pleasing each other and she left me exhausted but wanting to see her again as soon as possible. Sasha is beautiful, smart, passionate and a great conversationalist. But please don't believe me, don't contact her. That will just leave more time available for me. :icon_biggrin: In the time that I have been hobbying I can honestly say that I have felt such a connection with only 2 other ladies. I rarely use the over-used term but I believe I have found my new ATF! My final thought - Who says Friday the 13th is unlucky!
