Phaedrus

Absolutely. Bear in mind also that it's not just your well-being on the line here... it's theirs. They have as much interest in getting this right as you do.

Possible cross-post from the legal section, but anyways... [url]http://consumerist.com/2015/05/20/gm-that-car-you-bought-were-really-the-ones-who-own-it/[/url] [QUOTE]GMâ??s claim is all about copyright and software code, and itâ??s the same claim John Deere is making about their tractors. The TL;DR version of the argument goes something like this: Cars work because software tells all the parts how to operate [LIST] [*] The software that tells all the parts to operate is customized code [*] That code is subject to copyright [*] GM owns the copyright on that code and that software [*] A modern car cannot run without that software; it is integral to all systems [*] Therefore, the purchase or use of that car is a licensing agreement [*] And since it is subject to a licensing agreement, GM is the owner and can allow/disallow certain uses or access. [/LIST] [/QUOTE] I really, REALLY hope the fuckers lose this one, but I have no faith...

Okay, so, hoping this doesn't count as too much detail... If you're face-down, there's no issue. If you're face-up, then yes, there could be.... but no MA I've ever seen has ever done anything remotely risky. What tends to happen is that she starts kneeling with one knee in between your legs and the other at the edge of the table, and goes from there; this means that as she slides your pride and joy tends to come into contact with the outside of her thigh and get pushed away from the center-line of both her body and yours, and thus also away from anywhere that might cause you concern in the absence of a thin layer of latex. Just enjoy it, and trust that you're with a professional who knows what she's doing. That approach has always served me well.

A very good blogpost. Far too long to post here, but well worth your time. http://popehat.com/2015/05/21/happy-to-be-here/

With that "Report Abuse" button. You get to say why you're reporting the post, and then... it gets to Mod, somehow.

I can't help but notice the similarity between this thread and the one at https://www.lyla.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=213779, despite the fact that they appear to come from two different accounts....

This button is your friend: Seriously... use it. Mod doesn't read everything on this board as he simply doesn't have the time, so when suspicious stuff crops up - or things that are against the site rules - he probably won't see it, unless someone flags it for him to look at. But no need to bother with this thread now, 'cos I've just done it :)

That just makes him a trained soldier. It doesn't make him a terrorist. The worst accusation that I've seen aimed at Omar Khadr is that he killed an enemy soldier on a battlefield. That's not a crime; it's what happens during wars. To return to the original point... The problem is that you're looking for the consistent world-view. There isn't any; what matters is what's politically expedient. In Omar Khadr's case, it's trying to demonize him and scare everyone into permitting more power for the government to "keep us safe" (have a look at the abomination that is C-51 and has just passed the Commons). In the case of sex workers it's the expediency of throwing a bone to the base on an issue that a lot of voters won't remember and punish them for at the ballot-box. Sad, but there it is...

Yep. I'm sure there are plenty of people working who technically shouldn't be in all sorts of professions who could be subject to the same measures if someone in authority chose to do so. This sounds to me like a bylaw investigation that progressed into a "What else can we hit them with?" situation.

Mosquito sperm have a sense of smell. That's all, really. Who knew sperm could smell?

You can report PMs in much the same way that you report posts. Perhaps it'd be worth doing so, and then maybe troublesome members can be warned off, and if they don't improve they might feel the gentle caress of Mod's Banhammer....

OK, now I'm intrigued. What's a Tijuana donkey show? I'd google it, but it crosses my mind that what has been seen cannot be unseen...

I've always thought that schoolgirl outfits look silly on anyone who's not young enough to pass for a schoolgirl. And even on quite a few bona fide schoolgirls, come to that. But that's just my opinion... Both are best dripping... the one fresh from the ocean, the other fresh from the shower (preferably taken with me). That *was* what he meant, right?

I've heard that this is far less rare than most of us would like to think. Apparently there's a number of guys out there who think that if you ask for doggy, she won't notice if you whip the condom off just before you go for it. Needless to say, the ladies are wise to this one.

Go to the other user's profile, and look at the menu bar just under their name. You'll see an option called "User lists". Click this, and you'll get three options, one of which is "ignore user". That means you won't see their posts and they can't PM you (I think), but I'm not sure what it means for their ability to see your profile/posts.

It depends who's playing you in the TV adaption.

Absolutely. I'm not concerned about anyone deliberately disclosing contact information or anything like that; I'm more concerned about what happens when a lady loses her phone, or puts the Facebook app on her work phone (you *do* all know what happens when you do that, don't you?), or a third party gets in and goes on a fishing expedition. Call me paranoid if you like... but that's why Phaedrus has his own email and phone number. Also: I'd love to assume that anyone we give any contact details to will be professional, responsible and discreet and delete them when they're done with, but... unfortunately this world contains quite a lot of people who are unprofessional, irresponsible and indiscreet. Some of them are involved in this industry, on both sides. Reminders don't hurt :)

She has a reco thread at http://www.lyla.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?ltr=E&t=12051. She travels a lot, so she may well have other reco threads in other cities' sections if you feel inclined to search.

Out of interest... I know this has always been the case (this is far from the first thread on this) but... has it become worse since the laws changed before Christmas? Absolutely. I really, REALLY hope that all the ladies that ask for names, contact details and other personal information make damn sure they get rid of it once the meeting has been satisfactorily concluded.

Glad it went well. Hope the recovery process goes just as well!

Farewell, Excaliber! Hope to catch up with you in the future!

Remember, everything can be fixed with either duct tape or WD-40. If you want a more permanent solution to being seen, putting one of these over the camera is low-tech but very effective. I suggest you try the tape first :) Of course, you'd probably then find there's goop on the lens when you want to actually use the camera again. Masking tape may work better...
