I think it is important to make the difference between a male MA offering massage with possible "extras" and an actual male escort/companion. I personally got a massage once from Il Re and my intention when booking was to receive a massage (the service he advertises on cerb) so I could relax and enjoy myself without thinking about anything else but me for a change :) In no way, shape or form was I looking for a companionship experience or FS or oral or any kind of extras. I just wanted a good massage. A few ladies who saw him might have opted for the "extras" he offers but I know most of the ladies who saw him (at least the ones I know), saw him for the relaxing massage experience he provides and nothing more. If he advertised in the SP section, maybe the results would be different.

Well said :) Just to touch on the point of free advertising, let's keep in mind why we are able to advertise for free on Cerb and why the picture threads are good for all of us: http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=43015 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted by MOD Q: Is cerb really FREE? A: No, Nothing is Free. Q: How can you run CERB for free? A: This site is a BUSINESS and is here to make money. It costs TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars to run this site each year. Someone has to pay for that! You don't pay for using cerb and the handful of banner advertisers help but don't cover the cost of the servers per year let alone my salary! It appears free to you but your posts are content and your visits are traffic. Content = Search engine listings Search engine listings = Traffic Traffic = Money! This site is FREE to use for all of you and in return you are giving us your time, contributions and traffic. Someone has to pay the bills and in this "virtual" world website traffic is what pays the bills. Hard to imagine but that is how it works. The more traffic cerb.ca gets the more traffic it's sponsors receive (Advertisers on the site).

Sorry to hear that. When I read about experiences like these it always makes me wonder if the lady was established and reputable or brand new to the industry (or less than a year) as I do not know any reputable ladies who would conduct their business that way. Most of us who have been around for a while understand the value of offering a great experience (whenever possible-YYMV-hygiene, ect.) and the value of repeat business. "You get what you pay for" is true in more than one way.

Cristy, I think you may have taken my post a little too personally and at the same time, taken my "nitpicking" comment out of context (it was a reflection on everything I wrote as a whole). My comments weren't directed at you nor was I insinuating anything. I think if you take the time to re-read what I wrote previously, you'll understand what I mean.

I don't know how many times threads went sour because someone used the wrong word or the politically incorrect word/expression for something. In this case, I think people are putting way too much emphasis on the word "best" and are forgetting to enjoy the pictures for what they are... Beautiful pictures of women with some featuring different sexy assets. Some of us have made suggestions in the past about renaming the "best bums on the planet" thread to alleviate some of the negativity and frustration expressed by some members but at the end of the day, no matter what the thread is called (while respecting the rules), members will still be posting the same kind of pictures in that thread... Beautiful sexy bums they personally appreciate. I have posted in the bum thread on more than one occasion and I have no regrets. I love beautiful women and yes, the cliché is true: beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don't think my sexy buns were ever mentioned in that thread but hey, I'm confident enough to know I have a nice round spankable bum and it doesn't need to be posted in that thread to make me feel better or reinforce what I already know ;) I take no offense to it and simply enjoy the sexy pictures that are being posted (although I haven't visited that thread or others in a long time) without focusing on the thread title. Life is too short to start nitpicking at everything!

I personally would pay for male companionship for all of the same reasons men (single or married) seek female companions (I know quite a few other ladies who would too and couples who want a male SP for their wives) but it is not easy to find someone who is established, trustworthy and discreet. Perhaps a small niche market but in the end, it could turn out to be a great one for the professional male SP(s).

Happy belated Birthday, Carrie :) Hope you had a great one! xox

Well done, M. Chevalier! I am looking forward to reading more of your posts! Gabby xox

Congratulations, Nicolette! Well done!

An example of an illegal activity would be a request for a car date. An example of an "off the wall" activity would be a request for BBFS sex. Contacting a lady to see if she has a "special of the day" going on is never appreciated and quite off putting no matter what the weather is like outside ;) It's best to do your research first.

Pump Up the Volume Love the sound track too!

It's 5am, I'm still up and woke up at 6am yesterday... I am SO tired but my migraine is preventing me from falling asleep. Why is it that it had to start when I was almost ready for bed last night? Hopefully, I'll be able to get some rest at some point today. Maybe I'll have to join OD for a cuddly cat nap ;)

My first thought... Hummm, why is common sense called common sense when it is not so common? lol Now, let me go set up an appointment with my gynecologist and when I see him, I'll try to play doctor with him and see how far I can take it...

I love-love-love the English and Australian accents. They are so damn sexy!

My cat just brought me a present... a little injured bird and I'm not sure if he has an injured wing or leg :( I put him into a box on top of a comfy blanket for now and gave him a small bowl of water (not deep so he doesn't drown) and I guess I'll have to take him to a vet tomorrow. I have no idea how to take care of him and I wouldn't want to hurt him by trying to help him either... He's so small and delicate! Poor little birdy, I hope he gets better...

I just went to view my posting history and noticed that I can only access my last 490 posts as before I was able to see all of them from my profile statistics. Is this a new glitch or a new change? Thanks!

Steve, in a social context I do enjoy a nice perfume on a man if it's applied very lightly. I have severe allergies and my body reacts very badly to most perfumes and many other scented products so for intimate encounters I prefer that my gentleman has that fresh-clean out of the shower smell only. Nothing more, nothing less... Well, except for deodorant ;) lol Absolutely! I love the smell of Acqua di Gio by Armani and the bonus is that it is also one of the only perfumes my skin doesn't react to and where I do not end up with a full blown skin reaction so for me, it's my choice of perfume for a man :)

I remember reading a few of Soleil's ads (Winnipeg) a while ago and they were pretty funny, witty and engaging!

My user CP is also messed up. Instead of having the "view all subscribed threads" link option, they are directly shown on the page. When I first logged in this morning, it showed that I was subscribed to 73 threads and not recent ones and by mid day, the number went down to 52 and now I'm at 41 and I haven't changed a thing but it's still displaying the same amount of threads as it was this morning lol There must be a glitch somewhere or Mod is making some changes that affected part of our CP page. As OD also mentioned, I almost need two screens to view some threads because of the added horizontal toolbar at the bottom...

A big smile from a total stranger while walking down the street!

Congrats to my virtual hubby! Well done! xox

Spending a good part of my day at the park, sitting down on a blanket, reading a book and enjoying the warm breeze! Just awesome!

I am not going to expand on the whole subject about cancellations, 24 hours notice or more/less, no shows, cancellation fees, deposits, etc. but I will answer your question with one of the posts I made in the "highlights of the day" thread 2 weeks ago: I broke a record and had two weeks, back to back, with no cancellations... I only accept 3-4 appointments a week so when one or two (or more) are being cancelled, well let's just say it doesn't turn out to be an inspiring week. On the other hand, I've had to cancel/postpone on some of my gentlemen on occasion but I always did find a way to make it up to them in spades, which can't be said when the opposite happens.

Spending the day with a friend I haven't seen in a long time! It was a great time!! :)

Why is it that when someone hurts your feelings in a most unexpected way that it takes longer then you want it to to just get over it, move on and forget about it?
