Phaedrus

Ah, anticipation. 'Tis a wonderful thing. But who am I anticipating meeting right now? Well, truth be told... no one, because I have no plans at present. I was anticipating meeting someone yesterday, even though (especially because?) I'd met her before... but I have now, and so I'm not any more. And so now the process begins again. Who would I like to see next? A MA, or would FS hit the spot this time? Or maybe an evening in the kid-in-a-candy-store environment of a SC, picking and choosing whatever delights take my fancy at the time? Should I meet someone new, or reconnect with someone I've seen before? The anticipation is always there; it's always different, depending on which whims I choose to satisfy this time around, but it's always sweet... But for now... just the anticipation of the choice is fun. I could choose anything... and having chosen, that bubble bursts, to be replaced by the anticipation of the delights to come. Whether it be the pleasure of seeing a friend again and the happy memories of our last meeting, or the pure anticipation of finally putting a face to a name that I already know. I still don't know what to do. But I know I'm going to enjoy it.

A kiss, a caress Fondly remembered, but both ephemeral. Gone.

Conversations with Trappist monks. Food for thought. Most of us could probably do with more space in our own heads, rather than the clutter that life inflicts on us.

Something Gabriella forgot to mention in her post: while cleaning up, the FBBBM agency also had air-conditioning installed! Not only that - but rooms also now have their own individual fans! Luxury! As a wise Yorkshireman once said...

1500 outrageous opinions and entertaining escapades! MOAR!

Congratulations, Victoria!

Is it any good? The original six books are great, yes, but so far I've always been disappointed at the less-talented son's attempts to cash in on his father's creation...

Congrats, Jhena!

Honestly? Believe it or not, not all of us guys who see SPs are magazine-cover material ourselves. Crazy, isn't it? And yet the lovely ladies of CERB see us anyway...

My Goddess for today is someone I've had the pleasure of meeting recently, although I'd wanted to for quite a while... Emily Rushton. Yes, she looks good enough to eat. But the real reason she's a CERB Goddess is because of the good sense she brings us; her posts are always well thought out and well worth reading. Now, if only she spent as much time posting as she does in airports... :)

A video of the sun. I could watch this all day....

Alas, sometimes the magic doesn't last. Here's this year's break-up song. It must be good, 'cos it's everywhere and I'm not sick of it yet.

Er... why should they worry about this? Hotels have rules about multiple-occupancy in rooms, and I see no reason why they should provide soap and towels for more people than they allow. And they can't (officially) cater to a SP seeing multiple clients without being prosecuted... at least, not yet :) Sure, we all break the rules, but when we do it's up to us to work around the limitations involved.

What's on the Internet? Porn. And pictures of cats. So this was probably inevitable. It's funny, though. http://indifferent-cats-in-amateur-porn.tumblr.com/

This is one of the better things I've read on this. The author is a Mormon, has always known he was gay, and nevertheless married his (female) best friend and had three kids with her. http://www.joshweed.com/2012/06/club-unicorn-in-which-i-come-out-of.html Quite long, by Internet standards, but well worth a read.

Yep. I like both. But I consider them to be rather different experiences; a massage is more of a passive experience, and all you have to do is lie there and enjoy it rather than actually *doing* anything. Sometimes, that's just what's wanted :) Also, I tend to base my decisions on who to see based on seeing *people* that I want to see, rather than seeking out particular services... which means I necessarily get to see both MAs and SPs. Yes... but really, anyone who wants "more" than what's commonly offered by MAs should go see an SP. There's lots of good ones around, and some have been MAs in the past, if that's what you want. MAs know damn well they could offer FS if they chose to, either independently or via an agency; the fact that they choose to be MAs really ought to tell you something. Yes, there are constantly rumors of MAs who will do BJs, or FS; I don't doubt that some of those rumors are true. But that doesn't mean it's necessarily a good idea to see an MA and annoy her by asking a lot of questions to which the answer is "no". That still applies to MAs who have been SPs in the past. Easy: if someone advertizes as a MA, then that's what they are and all they offer, officially, and therefore that's all that should be discussed here. The Mods don't - and can't - read everything that's posted here. They rely on the rest of us to flag stuff for them to look at. You're right, this shouldn't be happening; if you see it, use that little "report post" button.

Many congratulations, Pete! you've made some fantastic contributions here over the years, and I'm sure I'm not the only person to have been immensely grateful for all the recos you've written in your time here!
