I like bdsm, dabbled a bit in it from time to time. I joined a community of like minded bdsm fans and got some great exposure of what it entailed. But it was always an outlier in sex. Sex and the City, with all it's so called sex positive attitude, still looked down on bdsm as freakish. I guess my point with all of this is that from the few passages I've read, it's clearly a fantasy and has no sense of realism that I'd be interested in reading it beyond the few pages I've read so far. But it is introducing a lot of people to this world, and I can't see any problem with that. Yay for the book

I don't know if this fits in the theme, but I'm a sucker for girls in jeans, working the farm. Think cowgirl

Awesomeness! Congrats!

All hail Zeus!

Love the mammal kind. Not fond of reptiles To clarify Bunnies, kitties, puppies (and their older versions) are a-ok Snakes - I like to admire from a distance

Congrats!!

BBBJ is risky, I think the mentality with those who offer it without CIM is that it's relatively low risk, even if there was an 'accident' (someone could just spit the semen out). But I understand why SPs would be whole heartily against it and I have no issue with it at all. There is a smaller risk, even with condoms of getting STIs and god forbid, HIV. It's something I'd rather not think about, but keeps me alert and thoughtful about the consequences of my actions.

She's well within her right to. But it's kinda tricky to have someone employed with that restriction. You'd have to screen all callers who are interested in her, and most likely insult the black ones when they find out the SP won't meet them.

Question to all the introvert SPs. Has this profession helped or made any difference, or has no effect with being an introvert?

Several possibilities. The most likely that when you originally signed up for your account, you may have given access to your Gmail account to find contacts. However, Facebook employs some very sneaky (although evil scientist like brilliant) methods to find contacts. I created a Facebook account to test my privacy settings on my original account (Just wanted to see what people could see if they weren't friends). While I used a totally random name, added no friends to that account, and apart from using it a couple of times, never logged in, my original facebook account started recommending me to add the test account. Personally, with this entire thing, I use a different browser, a different email address, tied with one very different username then I use with anything else. If anyone searches for my username, all they might find is a profile on another forum like cerb. That is the only action I can recommend to keep this life and everything else seperate.

I'm a bit confused with the direction of the conversation in this thread. I understand that when one is high, the possibility of an OD exists. But it seems that in this particular situation, where the SP has made the trip to see the client (if it was an outcall), or at least partaken in some sort of activity for 10 or so minutes. This isn't a pro-drug post or a 420 post to be clear. I have in the past, mainly during my first year of university joined in consuming some less then legal substances. The step between being high and risking OD depending on the drug is pretty varied. My old roommate sometimes had trips that lasted an entire night, and it may cause long term damage down the road, but her life was not in any danger at that moment. I guess my point is that the OP mentioned that the SP was high, and there was an immediate reaction to the SP possibly ODing. Firstly, I didn't get that impression that it was the case from what he mentioned, so while the hypothetical discussion has been enlightening should an unfortunate occurrence like this does happen, I don't think it applies here. I'm actually a bit surprised that there isn't more outrage with this particular SP who is sullying the name of this industry. While I like to give someone the benefit of any situation, what this SP did was fraud in my personal opinion. While I understand and appreciate that this forum has adopted a friendly, SP positive environment, I've seen several instances where activities that are deemed unsafe or counter to the general accepted standards of its members are reported (most recently the Mod's appeal for any knowledge for an SP providing BBFS). I do not wish for this SP to be publicly called out, but I would appreciate if members have the ability to report instances like this one out privately. A one off might indicate a freak occurrence, perhaps due to a disgruntled client, or something else entirely. Numerous reports indicates a trend. Going back to the actual situation itself, if the SP was conscious, and lucid, then I'd leave immediately. I'd scour online to see if this person has issues like this, as well as trying to find an avenue to report this privately and dealt with. Like I said above, this sort of activity feels like fraud to me, and no different from common theft. I'm relatively new to all of this, and it was an amazing experience with an SP who valued her work and treated it professionally. If I suspect my taxi driver, or doctor or any other person providing me a service is high, my first instinct depending on the severity of the service will be to remove myself from the situation as fast as possible, not to put myself in the uncomfortable position of finding out if he/she is actually high. At that point, even if they say they are not, I will not be comfortable given their conduct that led me to that question.

There are some women I've seen in stores, or by the street side, or in a restaurant (well, I've seen three, each one in one of these places) whose beauty was just stunning. I mean jaw droppingly gorgeous. Each time when I catch myself looking at them, I walk the opposite direction, or look the other way. I have the weird thing that maybe they'll notice the guy not checking them out. Unfortunately, this strategy has not worked. But it does let me appreciate and enjoy physical beauty a lot more when I do allow myself when I have an encounter. But in case the ladies are wondering, if you notice me, by all means, feel free to yell out "nice ass" or "hot stuff". While I deplore objectification of women, and people in general, I think I can use a little public shout out :D

I don't know if there is any affiliation with other forums that focus on other cities, but I've noticed a stark difference between the posts there and here. It was by pure geographical coincidence that I happened to check out Cerb first, and it has been a learning experience to read what others have gone through. However, when I ventured on to other websites, I noticed two mark differences that are big let downs. 1) The tolerance for stupidity, rudeness and negativity was beyond high. Members were getting away with being downright sexist, insulting, and made me feel icky thinking that I partook in the same 'hobby' as them. 2) This tolerance of madness also seem to have led to incredibly low participation among the SPs. With the exception of advertising, it seems to be a hostile environment for the SPs. They in turn have one of two options. Suck it up, as to not harm potential business, or speak out, and run the risk of looking bitchy to possible clients. Both problems don't exist on this forum, and I am so thankful to Mod for that. Granted, Cerb has it's share of drama from time to time, but the anonymity of the internet seems to bring out the crazy of people. And while I am grateful for the gentlemen here, I think for enforcing, and fostering the environment that we have on Cerb, I am so happy for the work Mod has put in. And it would be remiss of me to forget Cowboy Kenny. With his time and dedication to help us men (and some women), he not only helps clients from being duped, but prevents SPs from fighting an ever increasing PR battle to prove that they are legitimate, hard working, honest individuals. After typing this, I realized I just echoed LeeRichard's sentiment!

Bald women can be sexy and attractive. Problem is, after seeing them, I kinda get in the mood for skydiving or paintball.

I'm like Katherine. Many people scoff when I say this, but eventually realize it's true soon enough, but even though I smoke them, I am not addicted. Months can go by without me smoking one, but if I'm with friends, we're out in the woods eating sandwiches, or perhaps its a nice starry night in the middle of Nova Scotia, I might light up and smoke a couple if a friend has one. I had 4 after a friend's wedding, and someone thought I wouldn't be able to just quit. I told her I wasn't addicted in the first place. We made a bet that I couldn't go a week without smoking for $100. Suffice to say, by the end of the week, I made the easiest $100 ever. But I do impose restrictions on myself, I'm scared of the slippery slope that might lead to an addiction. I've never bought a cigarette, only smoke if being offered, never two days in a row, never 5 times in a week, and after that week is done, I never touch one for months. I've just added arbitrary rules as I've gone along. But unlike most people, I never did have an issue with the smell from people smoking around me. I actually liked it.

Beat the crap out of cancer. We're all rooting for you

I can say with a certainty that the 20 something SP I visited seemed to posses the maturity that you speak of with an older SP. Rushed was far from what actually transpired, there was a fair bit of communication leading up, and sex was not to only thing that we enjoyed. The way she handled my particular situation spoke volumes of her maturity.

I used to work for customer service for Rogers a few years ago. While I got paid more then the $10/hour number that has been brought up here, a lot of times I found myself between a rock and a hard place. Often because of my employer. One of the rules that we had to adhere to was that if the customer was being nasty, we could not hang up, unless we gave them three warnings. I mean how silly is that? Being called every name in the book, and your response was "Sir/Ma'am, please do not use that language or I will have to end the call". By the end of my time there, even if the insult wasn't hurled at me, but just swearing in general, I'd hang up the call, but I could have gotten fired for that. Another common situation was that we would have to provide help for something we had no clue about. And getting no support from Rogers, except "Just google it and figure it out". This was while we had to keep call lengths short, clients happy, and satisfied. Again, employment was dependent on these factors. In my time there, I saw so much turn over. I stuck there because of my patience, and even that ran out which is saying a lot. My point being, is that for a "legitimate" job, I was expected to endure verbal abuse, I was expected to provide a miracle, downright lie for the company on occasions (when it was Rogers fault, but I was not allowed to say it), and so much crap that one should be expected to do for money. Being an SP is a job. They are inherent risks to it (STDs, violent client), and that sucks. But there are many jobs out there that require a certain degree of physical risk, and we don't ban it. As a society, we deem porn okay, stripping okay, but when it comes to two sane, consenting adults (or maybe three or four), accepting money for sex, it becomes trampy? Your friend might be a lovely person, but she is so confused as to the difference between and SP and a sex slave is.

Have no idea, but as for being "Too convenient", maybe you are :S http://www.cbc.ca/ageofpersuasion/episode/season-5/2011/01/29/season-5-caution-speed-bumps-the-magical-ingredient-in-marketing/

My family has a history of high cholesterol. I have onions with meat whenever I have it, and it does wonders (uncooked)

Seeing her and not feeling a thing And a late evening swim!

I wouldn't mind if there was a recommendation area in the SP only section regarding clients.

On a few SP and MA websites, on their 'Contact Me' section, they mentioned information that they would like in the first email including references. I like the idea of that bit of instruction being put in there, for one thing, when I first got in touch with an MA, that told me specifically what to write down (I was drawing a blank earlier). She had asked for a reference from an Indy professional. I had told her honestly that this was a first time thing for me, gave a slightly longer intro to compensate. She was more then accommodating, asked for a time to call, and we talked for a few minutes the following day on the phone. So my recommendation is if someone is getting a fair bit of newcomers (or not even), perhaps add those bit of instructions as a guide. It helped me a lot.

I was watching the season finale last night of SVU, and without giving any spoilers (this was in the short preview of the show), it was about two competing escort agencies getting their angry on. It's Hollywood, don't care about what story they write, just make it enjoyable. During the program, they showed the inside of one of the escort agencies, and my mind was full of "WTF?!?" To give you a visual picture, a bunch of scantily clad women, one stereotypical boss with a gold chain necklace, not enough buttons on his shirt, and a used car salesman demeanor. And the obligatory "Is this how you imagined your life?" questions with a look of regret from the SP. I know there is sex slavery, right here in Canada. And I hope those women (and men) subjugated to rape get free while those who put them there get everything they deserve ten fold. But this was such an over the top portrayal, I started to see why this industry has such an uphill battle to be seen as legitimate.

Photoshop is the best software for this sort of thing. Quick demonstration Open your picture on Photoshop CS6 1. Got this picture from today's news for a demostration, going to try to separate her from the background 2. On the left, the third button from the top, there are the Lasso tools. Click them and then select "Magnetic Lasso Tool" 3. Start at a location around your body, waist is usually a good starting point, and slowly move your cursor around the outline of the body. Photoshop analysis the picture and moves along the edges better then free hand mouse movements. Every so often, loop outside, and cut the background part (CTRL -X or Command - X if you're using a Mac) 4. As you can see, the body part is easily seperated from the background, the hair looks a little unkempt. It requires more time, and if you have a larger picture, it should be easier. (There are a couple of additional steps you can take to get the hair right) 5. Anyhow, this was a quick photoshop edit, took me 5 minute in total. So if you spend time with it, it should come out great. I chose a simple white background and played around with what's in the back just to give you and idea of what can be done.
