Quite an amazing story, drlove, and one that shows that the set of problems around sex and sex work are very complex and seem almost intractable. I absolutely don't feel any shame in participating in this lifestyle. I have met some of the most wonderfully articulate, smart, gorgeous, clean, drug-free, caring, respectful ladies who take meticulous care of themselves in my short stint thus far. I would be proud to be seen with them anywhere. IMO, discretion in not telling friends, co-workers and family about these activities is prudent, and if there weren't the widespread artificial stigma, we wouldn't feel that need to be secretive so much even to our closest confidant(e)s. Why feel ashamed? This is the most natural thing that the wisdom of the universe has conspired to gift the human race with, yet many of us just don't know how to deal with it in a healthy fashion. Others wish to repress us and make us feel it is wrong, just to control and curb this most organic of expressions of love and caring for one another. The result is fear, ignorance, and, well, sometimes, through the soup of emotions and powerlessness, violence. Sadly it will take major efforts to change the prevalent attitudes and stigma surrounding sex and sex work. May I suggest an article reviewing a very pro-sex-work movie (Warning! Spoiler alert) It is rather long, but definitely worth the read! It is very much along my own line of thinking. https://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=133685 FR

American Courtesans: Our Unsung Healers
futileresistenz replied to futileresistenz's topic in In the news
An update: As the viewership is expected to be rather eclectic, a non-theatrical release is planned for mid-July on cable, VoD, DVD and BluRay in the U.S. I'm not sure about these channels in Canada but it is slated out on DVD here on 10/1. FR -
As a few have said already, in the initial encounter, it is the lady that should lead, until the client feels comfortable doing the same. After that, I don't have a preference, and would hope it would be a fair mix of both. Not to attempt a hijack, but to add to the discussion: Depending on your thoughts about whether FS is on the menu in a first situation or not (I am completely fine if it isn't), how would one proceed if the hands-off approach wasn't working? I guess letting your other know what you'd like would be the way to find out if the lady is agreeable to fulfill your wishes, although not everyone is comfortable doing this with a (still almost) virtual stranger. I'll let the OP and other commenters weigh in on whether it's topical to discuss that in this thread and open a new one if needed. FR

Without looking, I'd really like to mention some of the top creative, quirky and witty ad-writers that come to mind: Gabriella Laurence Sacha EmilyJ TiffanyXXX000 This is just my 'short-list' from memory. Don't feel offended if you weren't listed, as I have a longer list (if I were to expand). FR -

Whack jobs, nut cases and sickos
futileresistenz replied to CristyCurves's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
Sorry you have to go through that type of anguish, Cristy. The best course of action for these mental midgets is indeed to ignore them, and ignore them always. Nothing good comes from engaging, ever! Except to make you a martyr to them. Whether it's ignorance or simply as a game is immaterial. There's just no excuse. FR -

How important are looks to you?
futileresistenz replied to toklat77's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
Looks aren't very important to me, attitude and engaging personality is. Having said that, sure it is nice to be in the companionship of an extraordinary beauty, but I define beauty very broadly and if there is personal chemistry, that's much more important! JMO :) FR -

Sending a text just saying 'hi'
futileresistenz replied to Cleo Catra's topic in New to this? Things you should know...
This also baffles me. So far, I've never booked via text and always do so via introductory email and it's worked out very well for me. I suppose it could be nerves, feeling intimidated, or just the incapacity to deal with five words or more at once. ;) ["Monkey brain"] Or it is a desire to make a connection over a period of many hours (even days!) with your intended 'target' via a ping-pong game of short text 'blurts' fired back and forth. Just a hare-brained thought. Or is it monkey brain? But consider this: The lady in question may just get a little frustrated with aimless texting, and most likely would rather be meeting with you (or another booking client) than waste time trying to figure out what it is that you are after. Guys/Gents: If you'll permit a little piece of advice, when you do text that lovely lady, make it just long enough beyond the 'Hi!' to let her know what you want! You may not be quite ready to book and have a question. It doesn't hurt to give her a compliment by saying why you chose to contact specifically her and not someone else. This is likely to flatter her and lead to more interest on her part to continue the conversation. Ask any question you might have, but have some respect. Questions like "Can I just pound you for the full hour?" are likely going to put her off you altogether. For a large part of this audience I am preaching to the choir, but just doing my community duty to advise those new to this board or who might be unsure about booking their first encounter. There are many threads here that cover topics just like this one. It is a gold mine if you just look. Now go forth, educate, book and conjugate! :) [tbc] -

Sex Work: A Hobby or an Art Form?
futileresistenz replied to PatrickGC's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
I have adopted this lifestyle for the time being, as I prefer not to invest the emotional energy and time into a bona fide, long-term, committed relationship. This may just be a phase, or an enduring choice. I am not yet able to answer that question. As many would agree, the terms hobby and hobbyist are unsuited as a moniker to this way of life, for reasons that I won't go into detail. They imply a non-serious, whimsical mindset, which at least to those who (as repeaters) over time have formed long-term bonds, seems like a devaluation of the comfort and well-being they have been able to find within our like-minded, accepting community. To them, the primary gratification derives from having meaningful, supportive and sustaining relationships, and only secondarily in the purely physical aspects. In practitioners who have perfected the skills of seduction and who genuinely love what they do, I consider this a true art form worthy of lofty esteem. We operate in a part of the real world where the stereotypes fall away and the warmth, companionship, admiration and respect we share with each other resembles little of what the rest of the world believes this industry to be about. Tongue-in-cheek I will add, "Leave them in their ignorance." I hope I'm excused for the very brief and furtive dart off topic. FR- 14 replies
