You can just make them "restricted friends" so they can't see anything you post,and you can go to your newsfeed and not see what they put. you can also not allow invites from them. this avoids all the drama and just moves you on!

Hi, Okay so another silly me question, but hubby has agreed to go out when we are out in montreal soon to a strip club. montreal has many to choose from...can you please, if you have information, provide on the best ones for couples, general etiquette and anything else i should know about the experience. we want to go somewhere upscale and classyish. Thanks to those who answer.

now i am feeling older i have no idea this stuff exists!

Prevent I put my kids in a bubble and bath them in hand sanitizer. :) For remedies I first whine. All the time to anyone who will listen. (usually husband). Then I take Nyquil and sleep. Get up, bath, whine some more, repeat as necessary. I do keep this in the freezer and it certainly helps. http://thaifood.about.com/od/thaisnacks/r/carrotsoup.htm

In fact many people do judge this woman and the sperm donor. I keep going back to considering the children that already exist without parents to love them. And sperm banks have so many potential ethical considerations such as children not knowing parental lineage, one donor being overused in smaller communities risking potential inbreeding etc. etc. It has happened. So I guess my point was just to rebuke that not everyone is "Yay sperm banks", but I come back to the fact that if this is all about you and your desire to leave a legacy/be immortal. If that is your reason for doing this, then in the end, you will never feel fulfilled. We all die, and trust me many people leave children behind, but that doesn't guarantee the children will like them, or anything like that. the legacy we leave is our actions while we are in this world. Again good luck to you, just consider all implications for this child, and do you want to support potential drama for the future. And "she'll just go elsewhere" is not a reason enough to do it. Someone may want you to buy them meth, but don't do it just because they will go elsewhere if not. Cheers.

As the mother of three children adopted from foster care, I do not understand this romanticized version of passing on the genes. It's who we love and what we do in our lifetime to better the world that leaves our legacy. Do what you must, but that child will have questions, and you may feel like you want more part in their lives. And who knows, you may already have a few kids out there you don't know about! ;0) Good luck with your decision, but having and raising a child is never about the needs of the parent, rather all considerations should be about the child.

First, if it does then i was way to slow to make my fantasy/dreams come true! :) Secondly no I do not believe it. I met a Mayan Elder last year who said it just means the start of something new (aka ran out of wall space) :)

thanks everyone, this was enlightening, and it seems this industry has more respect than most "mainstream" industries. more power to you amazing women!

As you know i have been thinking about my own future experience with an SP, when the time is right. In the meantime, while being on this site, a question has entered my mind.... Is/are their issues with SPs wanting exclusivity and jealously amogst sps? i was thinking of this in terms of say hairdressers who get quite catty, to Dr's who don't really care....so for SPs at what part of that exclusivity/jealousy scale does the profession in general fall? and as always, i hope you don't mind the question, i truly value all of you wonderful women and what i am learning. cheers.

You are providing a service and getting paid for your time. So too does a therapist, a Dr., and many other jobs. I work for the government, now that's a questionable job!

having to eat generic peanut butter due to budget cuts.

This thread is not meant at all tongue in cheek, nor am I looking for the name of male SPs :) I was just philosophizing about why there is a plethora of women SPs and some men, but yes more women. is it demand, that men like sex more, that women can too easily get sex? Is it systemic gender bias, survival necessities, or other reasons? Philosophy 101.....let's go!
