The new double goddess SaraMQ!
futileresistenz replied to Malika Fantasy's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
My congratulations to you, Sara, on attaining Double Goddess status! I for one appreciate your outspoken, bubbly nature (I'm probably speaking for many) and your contributions to this community are legendary and very much valued. I won't use the that word now, and instead say "Keep up the great work!". :) -

I am amused when people talk about ass to titty ratios - but all in fun, I guess - no judgement here. I've always been more of a boob admirer, but I can definitely enjoy both. Having said that, it's really the face and how she carries herself walking past that really 'seals the deal'. A wink or smile and I'm done for. :)

Why can't people
futileresistenz replied to CristyCurves's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
Honesty is always the best policy! Or is it? It depends on ... 1) how close of a relationship you have with the person. 2) the seriousness (or triviality) of the matter in question - white lies are easier to pull off - and less guilt-inducing than hiding something BIG! 3) whether you think they can handle the honest-to-goodness truth. 4) a need-to-know-basis (useful for pesky Nosey Parkers). 5) perceived wounded pride for admitting something about yourself that you'd rather keep stashed away in the depths of your being. This is hardly a complete list, just some basic thoughts. It is a balance between wanting to be sincere and true, not only to yourself, but your closest friends, and the wider world. When you choose not to be forthright, you may also hurt people you care about, by pretending to be a fake version of yourself. It's not possible to always be honest, but the people that are, most of the time, have less to remember and sleep better. :) Just some of my random ramblings. -
When is it considered overselling
futileresistenz replied to CristyCurves's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
One of the most interesting threads I've come across in a while. Thank-you to cristycurves for starting it, and to all the posters for some great points. I think one of the most important things for an SP to decide on how to advertise is to know what type of clientele she wishes to attract and then sell her unique personality style and attributes to that market. To me that means knowing yourself and your best traits, and selling us on a dream, conjuring up a fantasy based on that, and we will come, envelopes in hand. :) Tell us who your favourite client is, that you are great with making new clients feel at ease, or whatever it is you are best at or what type(s) of activities you especially cater to. Basic information, like body type, measurements, donations and menu options offered is vital. Presentation can also be a factor. A website hosted in your own domain is a sign that you take pride in your work, and invest in your brand. This is nice, but definitely not required. Additionally, good quality (not necessarily professional) photos are an asset, although this is a personal choice for each provider. Looks **for me** are only a fraction of the whole, and personality, charm, etc. are at least as important, if not much more. I tend to ignore words like "upscale", "vip", "the best there is", and look for clues elsewhere that this is really so (*for me*). Price is not primarily a factor, but rather discerning something about the lady's personality, her demeanour, attentiveness to detail, whether she is friendly and easy to talk to, is unrushed and eager to show you a great time, or *conversely*, more business-like and (HORRORS! ;)) a clock-watcher, for example. To me, honesty in advertising works, and describing yourself as someone that you aren't will eventually bite you in the back. Luckily, if you are booking a lady on CERB and do a bit of research beforehand, and checking out any recos, the chances are very good that you will have an absolutely great time and be happy with the choice you made. :) Happy hobbying! -

Only someone hopelessly outdated and provincial would turn away from Dan Savageâ??s advice to accept that itâ??s normal and healthy for people to want a variety of visual stimulus in their sexual repertoire. And yet, there are a few of us throwbacks who believe looking at pornography and paying for sex work are detrimental to relationships. Who ask our partner not just to limit strip club outings or keep porn use under discreet cover but to abstain from them altogether. See, Iâ??m already sounding like I wear my hair in a 1950s housewife updo and agree to nothing but once-a-month lights-out missionary position. Which is why it was gratifying to read in [B]Sexual Addiction & [/B][B]Compulsivity[/B] (Oct-Dec 2011) that research doesnâ??t exactly hold with the sophisticate theory that porn is wholly harmless to relationships:[INDENT] Menâ??s pornography viewing has been shown to be associated with unhealthy, less stable relationships.... For example, viewing pornography has been associated with (a) a decrease in relational sexual intimacy; (b) an increase in egocentric sexual practices aimed at personal pleasure and with little regard to the pleasure of the engaging partner.... Furthermore, men who frequently view pornography express a greater dissatisfaction with their partnerâ??s physical appearance, sexual performance, and sexual curiosity. [/INDENT][IMG]http://www.utne.com/uploadedImages/utne/blogs/Spirituality/garden-of-eden.jpg[/IMG] I realize that most modern feminists wouldnâ??t touch an anti-porn stance with a 10-foot stripper pole. Which makes it even more valuable to put this research out there and see if it jives with anyoneâ??s personal experience. Has a porn habit made your boyfriend less capable of attending to â??the pleasure of the engaging partnerâ?â??i.e., you and your orgasm and your overall sexual experience? Has it made one-on-one real-life sex with a real-life partner less rewarding for both involved? Some men â??prefer smut to real sex because while theyâ??re viewing porn, theyâ??re in control,â? explain [URL="http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200508/you-me-and-porn-make-three"]therapists Barry McCarthy and Michele Weiner-Davis in [B]Psychology Today[/B][/URL]. No one elseâ??s feelings or desires need to be taken into consideration during solo sessions. As McCarthy says, â??Couple sex is much more complicated.â? In this era of the sexy feminist, where the liberated suburban mom takes pole dancing lessons, balking at pornography and sex work will certainly come across as prudish. But what Iâ??m hearing is that the more porn a man consumes, the less he and his partner will enjoy their real-life sex. And who wants that? The good news for couples, [I]Psychology Today[/I] reports, is that â??even a conflict over pornography, handled constructively, can improve a relationship.â? Which makes for a happy endingâ??for all.

Congratulations, Katherine, on ascending to Goddess status... an honour you are very deserving of. My apologies for being the last one to notice ( at least at the time of this writing! ;) ), but I haven't been on much this week. All the best to you in your future endeavours. FR

CERB Group Hug - Give or Get a Hug!
futileresistenz replied to BownChickaBown's topic in Fun Threads
Thank-you Julianna, and welcome to the board! I'll offer a big warm hug to anyone in need as well. I'd really appreciate one, also! (I haven't been feeling well with this cold I'm now getting over.) It's good that one can share a hug in a way that's giving and receiving, all at the same time. Hugs all around! :) -
Participaction fella's!
futileresistenz replied to Studio 110 by Sophia's topic in Escort Discussion for New Brunswick
Sophia, I don't think you are alone in NB with this situation. I can sympathise with your lament, and you've made a valiant attempt at stirring up some interaction. ;) Let's hear it for more member participation ... at least where more is needed! I think once one becomes a member of this board (as opposed to a visiting guest), there are both benefits and responsibilities of being a part of the community. Now, I'm not arguing that it's not every person's personal choice to choose how much of themselves and their lives they wish to share publicly (and with Vic ;)), but it's truly those members who share their stories, ask interesting questions, post recos, or just have fun in one of those silly song threads (there are so many options!), that make the board fun to return to again and again. Share just a tiny slice of your day, make someone smile, it will make you feel good and you may even win new friends. :) Doing so won't make Vic know where you live...well, actually, maybe. #tongueseriouslyincheek -
