Icebreaker

From my perspective I would feel flattered if an SP trusted me enough to share that side of themselves. I would never judge anyone for an activity they enjoy (in the case of BDSM I would be more comfortable knowing any bruises were consensual and not the result of any form of abuse). The biggest factor of my not being judgemental is the same reason I am on CERB is to expand my sexual horizons. It would up to me to decide (if offered) if I would like participate in a new activity. To Malika's original question I would not rule out trying an introductory type BDSM session as a new experience as I do not have any personal experience myself.

I could definitely see myself dating a former SP - although that honor has yet to be bestowed upon me :-) I've dated dancers in the past who were working at the time and didn't have issues with her job. I would never rule out dating a working SP (never say never) but it would depend on the chemistry and circumstances. There would have to be a high level of honesty and communication. In terms of relationships my preference is exclusive. Some of my "exclusive" relationships never had that level of honesty by my exes (my involuntary participation in polyamourous relation - aka I've been cheated on in the past). Having said that I may be more open to dating a working SP now than in the past if everything was honestly communicated up front. Best case scenario is that we would be working towards her retirement. Posted via Mobile Device

My favorite bond girls are: Honey Rider (Ursula Andress) Strawberry Fields from Quantum of Solace (too bad she wasn't in more of it) And of course Pussy Galore herself Honor Blackman Posted via Mobile Device

I personally think you are in the right. If it was agreed that there would be no massage and he finished quicker than his time then that would be his responsibility as he booked his usual session in a different venue but didn't modify anything else so the usual fee should have been assumed by him. Besides this would have been an outcall so travel fees would have applied. My opinion is that he is in the wrong. Posted via Mobile Device

Personally I really like perfume on a lady. No allergies or SO to worry about :-) Posted via Mobile Device

My guess is that very few ladies would offer such a guarantee, trying to police such a policy could become a bit of a nightmare. I would think this would open the risk of fee being negotiated or haggled at the end of the appointment. Posted via Mobile Device

I've never personally been a Dr. Phil fan for the reason the previous posters have mentioned he is far too condescending to his guests. He simply goes for the easy TV ratings. I'd also be curious to know what percentage of his guests need real therapy after being on his show (from what I've seen it's usually an hour of him talking down to his guests - but maybe I haven't seen enough of his shows. By the way has anyone ever checked this man's papers to see if he is a real medical doctor? Posted via Mobile Device

Being a child of the 70's / early 80's I feel the need to do a very unpopular thing among Bond fans (I say this jokingly, as the actual fan boards tend to be much more intense about thier opinions) and stick up for Roger Moore's interpretation of Bond. Yes, Roger Moore would have been my first Bond. In terms of the Bond series he was a large part of what kept the series popular during the 70's well into the 80's. Agreed that he may not have always been given the all round best scripts but he went with what he had (good and not so good) and made it fun for the audience as proved by his strong box office numbers. As for Roger being too old by mid 80's, the mistake was trying to sell an actor in his late 50's as a character who was about 40. I always thought they should have made some light hearted mentions of his age by having him in a teacher role and has to take over the mission. Love scenes could have been handled the way they did for Cary Grant in the movie "Charade" or hire more mature actressess (as Roger suggested). All this to say Roger is much higher up on my list than many others (dare I say it right behind Connery). Truth be told I like all of the actors who played Bond, they each brought something different to the role and contributed their own unique personalites / talents.

I whole heartedly agree with Meg and Sara on this one - 110%. I have every intention of maintaining my lifelong membership in the child-free club. Don't get me wrong I have the utmost respect for people who decide to bring a life into the world. In my case, it's just not in my heart to have a child and I don't think it would be fair to a child. I enjoy my lifestyle/freedom and simply do not have patience for children. I've seen people like me have their own children - complaining and handing off the child every step of the way which is simply not fair to a child. A parent has to be ready and willing to accept the changes to their lifestyle. Here is a good test: If you drop your little one at childcare and everyday you are happy to be rid of them and everyday when you show up to retrieve them you come with a long sad face that you have to take them back - then there's a problem.

Saw Kianna last night and WOW what an awesome experience it was. We had spoken for a little bit at the recent CERB social in Ottawa and thought she was a little cutie right away with a genuinely friendly personality. The first thing I thought was that her pictures simply do not do her justice, she is much more beautiful in person. After a few pm's we set some time to meet and was I glad I did. When I arrived at Kianna's and she was wearing the cutest little outfit. Meeting in a more private setting than the social let me see that Kianna has the perfect balance of sweetness, intelligence and sensuality that is hard to match with a beautifully natural busty and curvacious body. Without going into private details, Kianna was very caring and perceptive to my preferences and being a shy person by nature (particularly when meeting someone for the first time) was very much appreciated. All I will say is that playtime was awesome, as she is a very talented girl in every way. Kianna is definitely no clockwatcher, she took her time and I felt completely pampered. A definite sweetheart who wanted to please and was a pure pleasure to spend time with. I highly recomend Kianna and I'm already looking forward to seeing her again soon.

My favorite Bond film is: From Russia With Love Least favorite Bond film is: The Man With the Golden Gun Least favorite was a hard choice because they are all good movies in their own way. Posted via Mobile Device

Sorry my review is a bit late as I met Karine in early September but since it was such an exceptional experience I did not want to wait any longer. I saw her profile and website and although the pictures were absolutely gorgeous, they pailed in comparisson to meeting Karine in person. When she opened the door she was absolutely breathtaking and that sexy French accent was just perfect. Karine was very soft and sensual in her manner and was very perceptive to my what I wanted (which is good since I'm shy by nature). We had some time to cuddle up at the end of our time together and I could see that the warmth of her personality was natural and that she is as beautiful a girl inside as well as outside. Needless to say our time together was a wonderful experience and I look forward to repeating.

I wanted to give a big thanks to Angela and Nikki for organizing such a wonderful party, since I'm still relatively new to CERB this was my first social and I'm already looking forward to the next one :-) great experience, I felt very welcome, it was an awesome evening (I only wish I could have stayed later).

Another idea is if you have a portable stereo or boom box that has an option for "aux" with a slot for the RCA cables. Even if the input is designed for a single headphone jack (iPod or MP3 players) there are cable adaptors that could work. Posted via Mobile Device

I agree with Samantha, for example when you look at many security guards in banks or malls they are not overly big football player types anymore no are they armed. Just having a person who is alert and assertive goes a long way to act as a deterrent. Most bullies will not chose to engage a person who will stand up to them or those who do their due dilligence to eliminate the threat before it walks in the door. In terms of a weapon I've never been an advocate since in many cases it can be used against you (unfortunately too many people think they can unleash their inner Charles Bronson in a panic situation but it is rarely the case).

In theory yes, however I think some factors would have to be considered. Is the lady still working? If so would there be jealousy that could creep into the relationship when your wife filming scenes with other men. I think this would be the biggest factor because it would only be human nature for a guy to get jealous in this circumstance and this from my understanding is what kills relationships with ladies in the adult industry. Depending on the type of job the other partner has are they comfortable with having their partner working in the adult industry (I.e. People in the public eye, those with sensitive jobs, those with particular religious beliefs etc.). This can be a factor even if the lady is retired as this can always come back to the surface. Can the partner handle it if one of their buddies happens across her work and all of a sudden your buddies become your partners newest fanbase? In my personal life i have dated dancers in the past and although these relationships did not work out it was not connected to the her employment. In terms of a pornstar I could definitely see myself marrying or getting into a relationship with a retired pornstar (my personal opinion is that the past is the past). I would rather know up front so if any questions arise we can be readybto deal with them. At the end of the day you are getting into a relationship with person as an individual not with their career (or at least that's the way it should be). This is just my opinion.

This thread reminded me of magazine article I read a few years ago. A man who as a college student at the time had made some deposits to a sperm bank (which I believe they do in the states). Fast forward 20 some odd years the man (now married with a family of his own) recieved a phone call from a 20 year old girl who was the child born from the artificial incemnation. She was not looking for money but rather to establish a relationship with her bio-daddy (her mother had recently passed away). In the US access to records can vary from state to state (and the young lady was quite industrious) which always opens the door to a child popping up. Although no money issues were involved the article detailed the uneasy feelings from the man's wife and daughters about this mystery daughter's appearance. This story ties into the current thread as an other scenario that shows how carefully you have to consider the repercussions of sperm donation. There are 2 parents and a child that will in some way potentially tied together for life and much thought and consideration needs to go onto such a decision. Posted via Mobile Device

Two other car chases I found to be really well done were: The Rock when Connery's character escapes from the hotel in a stolen Hummer trashing many of the same streets of San Fransisco that Bullit was filmed on. There was also a Bond film where the chase went from a road chase to underwater chase when the bond car becomes a submarine. I agree with Jabba and Angela that the bullit chase is one of the best ever. Posted via Mobile Device

I agree with bewlayb's suggestions. For the ladies' safety the option to view visitors profile should be restored only where it is private to the lady herself (I as a guy have absolutely no business to know what other guys visited a particular lady - if it is the matter of a recommendation then we have the reco boards for that info). IMO I think the ladies would be safer by knowing who has visited their profiles but restricting that info to outsiders. Posted via Mobile Device

From experience in work and volunteer lives the points made here about mc and visa are accurate. Having a business bank account will attract higher banking fees as well the credit card company will take their percentage off the top before you receive the net proceeds. Also the point mentioned about chargeback is accurate as well (a client could dispute the charge and the card company could remove the funds from your account after the fact). Paypal also takes a percentage off the top for their service and also charge when you transfer the funds from you paypal account to your bank account. Last point is when you accept payments via electronic means there will be a paper trail to follow that can be followed. Banks have a duty to report various things to CRA (deposits over certain amounts, interest earned on bank accounts etc.) Hope this info helps, just some points to keep in mind.

On behalf of the ladies I think the operative word for this thread may well be ..."ouch!" Sorry I couldn't resist :-) Posted via Mobile Device

For me personality is most important. A lady can be a supermodel but if the personality isn't there then I can't see that i would enjoy the encounter. I've really lucked out in this area as I've found the purrfect little kitty cat in an SP along with one of her friends :-) I couldn't have asked for better. The nice thing about CERB is that you can get a sense of a lady's personality by their posts (are they fun, witty, playful etc.). Recomendations are helpful as they reinforce the personality in their posting. The other factor would be scheduling, I work during the day so daytime encounters rarely work for me.

How about the English Patient, when this movie came out there was so much critical acclaim with Oscars and other awards that it seemed that no one was allowed to dislike this movie (there was even a Sienfeld episode devoted to this). I saw this one in the theatre at the time and neither my date nor I understood the hype. I've never been able to being myself to try watching this one again. Posted via Mobile Device

In my opinion this has everything to do communication. The more open the communication the less chance a guy will find himself on the wrong side of their SO with respect to boundaries. The dynamic in any relationship will always be unique so in some cases maybe occasional trips to a SC as a couple may be an erotic thing so it would not be considered cheating. If there was no communication then there is no chance to explore new horizons as a couple and properly set the boundaries of the relationship. Posted via Mobile Device

My experiences on POF were definitely not the same as the OP. Mind you I was looking for a conventional dating relationship at the time, which stress the point that comparing CERB to POF is like comparing apples to oranges. First off if you're in the long term or dating sections most ladies will automatically put on their profiles that they do not want messages from guys looking for encounters or those who have sent messages about encounters. I was not looking for encounters on POF as the ladies were not either. Secondly although you may get the quantity (as I did) the overall quality is not consistent. By that I mean that most in my experience are looking strongly for the financial component in a guy. It is not always apparent at first and most hide it for the first few dates but it quickly comes through. Many dates were more arduous than a job interview. Speaking to Mia's point many do have hidden agendas in looking for the best financial partners. I've had a couple of relationships from POF only to find out later they never left the system and were still actively searching for someone while supposedly dating me. There is very much the attitude of "i'm not going to settle" on POF which usually means financial. If that's what they were looking for fine but just be honest that you are still dating others. Thirdly I found a lot of baggage came with POF ladies like a lot of ladies hadn't quite broken up with their BF and were just looking to make them jealous or went back shortly after dating. I don't mean to paint everyone on POF with the same brush, I may have just had a run of bad luck over there. But that experience makes me appreciate the ladies on CERB all that much more. Here the expectations are much more honest, genuine and straight forward (more so than any of my recent dating experiences). In terms of money I'm sure if I add up the cash spent on dinner, flowers, movies etc in POF relationships and conventional dates that were dubious at best it would prove that nothing was free (either in cash or in drama). One of the biggest reasons for coming here is that I was tired of the games. My experience here is there is a much higher level of quality, beauty, charm and honesty on CERB from the ladies than POF.
