You are such an incredible person, I'm so glad I got to start my time off in Brandon with your wonderful company. You're the type of gentleman that any lady would love to entertain, I can't say enough kind things about you :) Thank you for such a great visit and very sweet review, I look forward to any other visits I get to have with you! xoxoxoxo

I think it's really awesome that you're so proactive with your sexual health, it's important considering how interlaced we all are in this industry. I always suggest to my clients to get tested at least 4 times a year if they're active in the industry and for ladies even more often because we come into a higher level of contact. It's so easy as well since most Cities have anonymous testing clinics, there's no reason not to go for a checkup. I really love that there is a health section on this board, it's refreshing and such an important set of topics in our hobby.

My main consideration when I first learned about the vaccine was the side effects. One of the articles I read mentioned that women are 50% more likely to get cervical cancer if they already have HPV and then get the shot. Because so many people are asymptotic it is a little like rolling the dice after becoming sexually active.

Whenever I get frustrated with the type of contact I'm receiving I take a breath and tell myself to have gratitude. It sounds kind of silly but it's difficult to carry gratitude all day, every day and it helps for me to remind myself of it. I find that once I say thank you for the ability to do this job, the awesome people I do get to meet and the wonderful opportunities it's opened up for me in my life I come down in stress. I know that it's tough sometimes, I think we all get to the point where we've had enough and just want to throw our phones out the window. If it's stress that continues for more than a couple days I simply take a step back, have a bit of time off and come back when I'm refreshed.

Usually Herpes testing is only done when an outbreak is present and a health worker will take a swabbing of the area for definitive test results. There is blood work that can be done but it was explained to me at Sheldon Chumir Sti Clinic that they refrain from doing it because it is costly. I think by knowing how Herpes transmits it's easier to prepare yourself to best avoid contracting it. Things like a low immune system, extra weight, lack of sleep, having another sti/std already, breaks in the skin can all leave a person vulnerable to picking up any sti/std during intercourse. I really like that there is a health section on this board, it's important to be aware of our sexual healths.

I loved when someone told me I had good energy, nice to hear a less common compliment :)

I thought I exchanged my money before leaving to Cuba but now I'm not sure, I do recall thinking the CUC was a rip off and didn't understand why they forced tourist to use it instead of regular pesos. I loved Cuba though, it's like stepping into another World with the old cars and beautiful buildings. I stayed in Varadero which has incredible beaches, they get pretty windy and high waves depending on where you're located. Everyone suggested seeing Havana, we didn't make it but had a lot of fun in the clubs and walking around the City. I don't know if Koodoo works in Cuba but if you really need a cell you could always pick up a Cuban sim card or ask your phone company about a travel package there. Tipping is totally a personal choice, bring as many small bills in whatever currency you have. I liked to tip in $1 American bills, it was easy to keep track of, shopping in the markets with small bills is better because sometimes you can get ripped off of your change. Taxi's also will scam you, barter before you actually get into them and agree to a price otherwise they will take off and you're at their mercy for a price. I always asked around what other people were paying to get an idea, the farthest taxi never cost us more than 10 dollars though. The food at our resort was truly terrible, food poisoning level bad but the food in restaurants was awesome. We had some very fresh seafood and although everything is kind of bland it was very fresh and we would feed the stray cats who came up while we ate. They spray this bug killer cloud on the streets, watch out for that because they don't seem to care if people are nearby when they spray it. Make sure you get a mojito, they're the absolute best in Cuba! They have an interesting way of living, because it's a Communist Country the Gov't assigns their jobs or they get to choose from a list created by the Gov't to start a business. Sometimes they have to share a job I was told, if you do have time/energy/desire to they do really appreciate small gifts. Things that aren't easy or cheap to buy there like certain shampoos/conditioners, toothbrushes/paste, kids toys, clothes etc. We handed out some small gift bags and people were really grateful, they do follow you until you're totally empty but we didn't find it scary. Have fun! It's a beautiful place to visit :)
