Like Berlin, working as a provider is allowing me the ability to continue my education and work while studying without having to pull 40+ hour weeks on top of my classes (been there, done that, don't ever want to do that again). I have a goal in mind, but I also do not see myself magically leaving this business as soon as that goal is achieved. I enjoy providing companionship, and I could see myself continuing it past graduating and finding employment in my field of studies, albeit at a reduced availability. I do think this poll needs more than two options, as it is not always black and white ;)

Yes please. Both of them: and and but most of all,

Respectfully, Nicolette, there is a difference between saying "it makes me feel like xxx" and using a phrase such as "a device" or "As an SP, I offer an "experience" not to be a "cum bucket" for someone's release for lack of better words." Especially the last statement. It can be read as "providers who do offer 15 minute sessions don't offer an 'experience', they are just 'cum dumpsters'." I don't offer 15 minute sessions. I don't like them, they are not for me. But that is the extent to which I will speak to that in public, because I don't know my audience. What I say in private to friends who know me, and know that I am speaking only of my own feelings and experiences... that may be something else. I don't want to alienate providers who do offer these sessions, for whatever reason, or the clients who seek them out. Your two hour booking may be someone else's 15 minute client. That client is still the same person, and that provider is still another person, like yourself, who works as a sex worker. You just do it in different ways, and market to different clientele.

Agreed. I dislike these threads because they often result in some name-calling (whether directly or indirectly) toward the providers who do offer shorter sessions. If a short session is not your cup of tea, then don't ask for it or don't offer it. There's no need to look down on providers who do offer it or clients who ask for it (provided they are respectful and take a "no" from providers who don't offer it). If you prefer longer sessions, then look for providers who offer it. I personally don't think threads like these are going to change how providers offer their session lengths, or how a client books their sessions; if someone does not enjoy a 15-minute or half-hour appointment, they are not going to offer it or ask for it. Inquire respectfully, but be prepared for the answer if it's not already posted in their ads or on their websites.

Another option would be for you to leave a message, stating that you do not want a call back. When a call has been missed by such a short time, you will get some providers calling you back (a longer length of time, maybe not so much).

She's mine! Hehehe. I was there today, very happy to catch two of her performances, and I also picked up some soy candles for use in wax play. It was certainly quieter than I've seen it in the past, probably due to the location. The downtown one in February is much more convenient.

Thanks, Emily. I've had a number of queries as to whether I am Kathryn of GP, or If I've started an agency, thanks to the unique spelling of our names. For the record I am not, and I wish that our names weren't so similar. I would be happy to consider a future trip to the Valley ;)

Could someone tell me exactly what the purpose of a "mens-only" forum would be? What would be posted in it? Who would gain access? How would we screen them? Access to the SP-only forum, per the FAQ: Like Cat, I am uneasy about what information could be shared behind closed doors. With a review or recommendation, I see what people write about me. I have the option to ask the member in question to change what they have written, or to contact a mod. Same with forum posts. I'm aware that information is sometimes shared via PM, and there is already the potential there for inaccurate or misleading information to be shared -- I don't think we need another venue for this. We have folks already posting private information on the forum occasionally -- addresses for incall locations, for example -- and at least in a public venue these things are flagged and removed quickly. How would a private forum be moderated, who would do it, and what would the rules be?

If this approach works for you and the providers you see, and is mutually agreed-upon, then that is what works for you. I think what is problematic here is that you are advocating that everyone should follow this approach, and that if they do not, then they are being fooled, or ripped off, or that they won't receive the services agreed-upon if they do not pay at the end. If you don't want to see providers who ask for the money upfront, that is your choice, and you will have to choose providers who are okay with this. But please don't advocate that everyone should go against the rules set by some providers -- there are many, many reasons why we choose to ask for the money up front, including ensuring that we ARE getting paid.

Back in the retail-working days, the mall would start putting Christmas decorations up on Hallowe'en, right at store closing. I started dreading Hallowe'en because it marked the start of two months of horrible "seasonal" music. (Quitting + zombies = I love Hallowe'en again.)

Yes, if someone else takes her photos, clearly logic dictates that she is a drug addict. Let's just hope this thread (and her name) gets taken down quickly.

Hehehe.

I need to give my brain a good scrubbing. I saw the post title and immediately thought of labia :biggrin:

Booking as a client and then showing up at an incall location in full uniform to provide "safety tips" is dishonest and puts the provider at risk. Folks notice when the police show up at their neighbour's door, whether it be at a hotel or a private residence. If a police officer wants to "build a rapport", then do it honestly, otherwise yes, their actions will come up on the radar in regards to professional conduct.

I'm going to have to disagree with this one, especially if the relationship involves sex. I know that many hobbiests are at the other end of the spectrum, but I'm a firm believer that my lover(s) should know the extent of my involvement with others and the risks that may extend to them because of that, even though safer sex is practiced. You don't necessarily have to come out as an escort; many folks nowadays are engaging in poly or non-exclusive relationships, so it has become a little more mainstream than it was previously. One possibility is to tell potential partners that you are not ready for a monogamous/exclusive relationship at this point, and see how the relationship develops from there.

Gents, what a fantastic night. Thank you, thank you, thank you! It was so great to catch up with old friends and make some new ones. My one regret to the night is not being able to say hello to everyone! But that's what the next social is for ;)

I enjoy running, yoga, and weight training on a regular basis, but also outdoor activities like swimming, hiking, and skiing :)

Awwww yeah! Glad to see you here, pretty lady.

While I can certainly provide CBJ if that is something a gent is looking for, I do offer BBBJ, and duos with Cleo are certainly available.

Respectfully, you said "in most cases sp's of that age are in this out of circumstance, desperate need or no other choice in a lot of cases and not thinking of the possible ramifications of their at hand choice", not "in my experience, SPs of that age"... Do you see the difference? One implies all SPs, not the number you've had experience with.

Whoa, that's a lot of assumptions there. This isn't going to be a one-size-fits-all answer, as sure, some 19 year olds may lack the maturity to make such a decision, but there are also plenty of folks in their 20s, 30s, 40s, etc who may just as equally be unable or unprepared to enter into sex work. That is not our call to make, or our judgement to pass, so long as the person in question is of legal age and legally able to consent. Coersion can also happen at any age.

I noticed that, as well, and it makes me so sad. Young people are engaging in sexual practices at earlier and earlier ages, and it seems that people are too focused on what an "appropriate age" is instead of giving these kids information about consent and safer sex practices.

A morning romp - better than coffee! One or two more would be just right for me; I don't think there is such a thing as "too much" but certainly folks whose sexual needs/desires may be incompatible. Thankfully, I have my toys ;)

Textbooks :)

I personally don't have a preference for circumcised versus uncircumcised, provided that it has been properly cared for (ie. pulling back the foreskin when cleaning).
