  1. I'm going to weigh in on here. This is an issue close to my heart. The reality is, this is not an industry issue. This is a Society issue. It seems that everywhere we turn, this is the issue of Consent. Some feel that drugging, or putting someone in a state of intoxication, and they can get away with it, it's ok. We've seen the headlines - Society is outraged - the courts are weighing in. Justice is not being fulfilled. Victims are being raped - both men and women. However, there is a rape culture that exists, and the victim is always blamed That is my bottom line. So, to get back to this industry. There are those that willingly will provide a service at a price that is lower then the standard. That in reality is their choice. If they are comfortable with this - Kuidos to them. They are happy, doing what they want. More power to them. However, there are those that are providing something that they do not want to do. They feel pressured, they need to do whatever to make ends meet. Maybe they have a handler who is telling them they need to make $. dollars. Maybe they need to do something in order to pay their rent/food/smokes/drugs/bills-whatever it is. They have a dollar amount they need to make in order to survive. So they do whatever it takes to make this goal. This is subsistence living. This is what the media portrays it to be. We as a community need to draw a line in the sand and say no, I will not participate in this... However, there are so many that feel "they are somehow not the client that contributes to this". They somehow feel that "it can't hurt to ask", or "I'll see if she can give me something more then she advertises, for less then the general rates others quote". They think "I've scored - I need to tell my buddies". How many times have we as a Community seen someone post "I want to see an RMT that provides extras", or, "Hey, does Sally do more then..." I can't tell you the number of times I've had someone ask "I see Mary does x for $100, can you do this for $50?". Or, what can I get for $40, or even $20. Or, "I have $200, can I see you for 8 hours?", or "I don't like to use protection, so how much is it?" I couldn't care less - the reality is, I don't need the money, I'm doing fine without seeing someone. However, I grieve for some of my friends outside of this particular community. They work on the fringes, and do not have the luxury of working in a stable environment. They are feeling the pressure - they have bills to pay, mouths to feed. Yes, even drug dealers or handlers to pay. So the dredges of humanity keep them in the trenches. They know they can get away with this. They know they can get a rock bottom price for something that is truly special. However, I always am amazed when they then complain (on other boards of course), "her place was dirty, she smelled, she was disgusting, her boyfriend threatened me, she robbed me, she was a robot...she sucked". What do these people think? That somehow it would be a magical experience? The reality is - when someone asks for something that most value highly - and then decide that they want to undervalue it - it will never be a magical experience and will most likely be a horrifying experience. So, as a community, we need to draw a line in the sand. We've already decided that negotiating is never acceptable. If the provider is outside of the rate someone is comfortable with - move on. Don't complain - just move on. If you are looking for something who is willing to reduce their rates for you, - realize, you are probably supporting someone who is doing this for the wrong reasons. At the end of the day - is this what you want??? Help stop the whole rape culture - because this is my personal opinion. Those that choose to ask for more - or bargain for more - are part of the whole rape crisis that women are facing today. Yes - whores can be raped. It hurts just as much.
  2. On your profile (click your name in the top right hand corner to see your profile) is your information. Who visited you, who signed your guestbook, where your pictures are. I posted a visitor message for you, so, it should show up on your "private messages" link - if you pull the drop down menu, it shows if someone posted a visitor message as well. Welcome!
  3. There are a few that have publicly identified themselves as woman. Most are not big posters, so you wont see many of them posting. There are some that are online and send pm's, but don't post. There are other sites that cater to female/female encounters as well.
  4. you will be missed. Take care and good luck in your new travels. xo
  5. Happy birthday. Hope you have a great day!
  6. My preference is always dependent on the type of hair they have. If they have coarse hair prone to stubbles, I would prefer a trimmed manscape. If they have fine hair, then shaved/waxed. However, I'm still old school, so au natural is also fine. I knew a guy who had massive body hair - every nook and cranny. It was very coarse and even though he had just shaved (his whole body!), it was like hugging a porcupine. So, I felt like, I'd rather you left everything au natural. He did stop shaving after that and it was much nicer. Not everyone can get away with the no hair look unless done professionally.
  7. Happy birthday - I hope you have a great day!
  8. I know Lexy Grace is a tiny little thing and an amazing woman.
  9. That is a great milestone. Thank you for your contributions. xo
  10. Jeffmac - just in case you didn't see the recommendations, here they are: http://www.lyla.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?ltr=E&t=217864 https://www.lyla.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?ltr=E&t=181547 One thing I'm curious about - do you actually see ladies - or just ask about them? If you are worried about pulling the trigger - Danielle is a great lady to start with. You've asked about at least 23 different women since April, and more then that, I just stopped counting...Go for it and enjoy!
  11. Mosesmalone - you and I have very different opinions on this. Maybe you are having difficulty reading the part I said "I am a foster failure". I rescued this girl from a very bad situation. She was in danger of being sold to a dog fighter as a bait dog at worst, or turned into a breeding dog at best, and I couldn't stand by and watch. I agree there are some really bad people out there who take a perfectly great dog and turn them into fighting machines. However, it is not the breed - it is the conditioning they are given. Put on heavy chains, left outside with no socialization, not given any vet care, backyard breeding to have litter after litter. These statements go to many different dog breeds. Not just pit bulls - however, the press only gives sensational headlines - and currently pit bulls are the attention grabbing title that works. It used to be Rottweilers, Sheppards, etc. Right now it is pit bulls. Even your article (which by the way, is in poor form to not include a link to what you are quoting), is in error as the dogs in question are all mixed breeds. I looked into them - again, it is the press using the headline to sensationalize the title. My girl was spayed as soon as the vet said she was ready, she is given regular medical care, socializations with other dogs and people. She is a cat whisperer - when I bring in a stray cat to rescue, she helps them feel safe. She adores everyone, listens to me 100%, and adores me as well. I have rescued many dogs and cats in my life. They are given proper vet care, spayed/neutered, out of my own pocket. Some are re-homed, some live out their life with me. All are saved from a life of neglect and abuse. Please, understand that just because you are only getting your information from a poorly defined search, you are not getting the whole picture of the issues surrounding this. There are many of us that are actually putting our money where our mouth is to fix the problem of back yard breeding, neglect and abuse. If you would like to contribute something helpful to this conversation, I would appreciate it. However, your inability to understand what I am saying, is not helpful and quite frankly offensive. The issue is not the breed - but the wording of legislation that does not actually fix the issue. Yes, we need to protect others from dangerous dogs. Period. However, making it breed specific does not actually fix the issue. I know dogs that look exactly like Labs - but are not. So everyone goes - oh, what a beautiful Lab. Then the Boxer who is a purebred Boxer, someone says "oh, thats a Pit Bull. Its not a Pit Bull, it's a Boxer. I suspect most don't know the distinction between the various breeds.
  12. I use a type of form response. Then we get accused of being impersonal. So, you can't win either way. The only way to get my phone number is either my profile or my website. So, my theory, if they are sending me a text with questions I've already provided, I just redirect them back.
  13. That is a great first milestone ElissaMarie. Congratulations.
  14. Thank you everyone for your advice. All I know is - Winnipeg will never get my tourist dollars while they have this archaic law on the books. I have no respect for those that have dangerous dogs, but the law does not need to be breed specific. It needs to concentrate on those that have dangerous dogs. Most people do not really know what a pit bull is - even within the dog community - so, Mastiffs, Bull Dogs, Labs, Sheppards, Huskey's Rotti, etc are lumped into the category, but the Media likes to create a big heading and they always read "PIT BULL". So, instead of creating legislation about specific breeds, we need to concentrate on dangerous dogs and hold owners legally responsible for their dogs. Even the listing of dog attacks listed previously - the dogs were mixed breeds - So, why not ban labs or huskies or Mastiffs or Bull Dogs? The reality is - its not the breed - but the owner not recognizing the warning signs and protecting others. I've seen owners of various breeds say "oh, she just wants to play", but reality is - the dog is show positive signs of aggression. These are non-bully breeds I am referring to. For the purpose of this website, we've used the generic term 'pit bull' to describe our dogs, even though there is no proper definition for pit bull. Recent research including DNA analysis by Dr. Victoria Voith and others has proven that dogs commonly identified as pit bulls are quite often a mix of multiple breeds, so breed identification by appearance alone is now considered to be inaccurate and misleading. The conundrum is a good one though, because it frees us up to look at these incredibly popular dogs as a fascinating American phenomena rather than an identifiable item with fixed genetics, behaviors and definable features. Welcome to our exploration of the enigmatic pit bull! - See more at: http://www.badrap.org/breed-history#sthash.84PRGakk.dpuf http://www.badrap.org/breed-history Its sad that so many seem to have blinders on when it comes to dogs. In the end, they are the ones that are put in unsafe situations. Punks that want a dangerous dog - and think that by mistreating them they will become even more dangerous, or by chaining them outside with no socialization. These dogs just become unstable. Please, spay/neuter your dog - there are too many in shelters and euthanized each year. If you can't have a dog, please support the shelters and rescues. There is still more to be done - and if you disagree with your local by-law - let your city know.
  15. Lol, it reminds me of the time Sgt. McLeod was doing her rounds. Caught a few off guard, then realized who it was. A clever trickster.
  16. This is my take. In the US, they use the term "experience" quite often. However, you will notice, they do not identify what is included in this experience. There are standards that are generally expected to be included in order to classify this particular experience. However, it is not spelled out and can vary depending on the provider. So, if I were a hobbyist, I personally would stay away from someone that actually spells it out. This way, you can say, truthfully, that you were unaware, and therefore did not purchase something specific. Of course, the field gets muddied in that as an escort, I can legally specify my services. However, in order to keep my guys safe, I don't. I do however, have a couple of erotic stories written by someone else (author is identified), on my website. Is it fiction or non-fiction??? This is of course my own personal opinion. There are those that freely advertise - this is their right. It doesn't mean that they are more likely to be LE. Far from it actually if they are well established. Remember before the changes in law - discussion was allowed, advertising was allowed. What was not allowed was if the discussion or advertising was done in public. So, discussions were done in private, or by phone. So, for those that have been in this business before the changes, they feel that they didn't want to have to go to a place where the expectations are unknown. So, the choice is yours to make based on your own risk level. However, at the end of the day, and I've said it many times, if it is a sting, the undercover officer is going to insist you spell out what you want for the price. Legitimate Escorts don't do that. We know what you want and make it a easy exchange.
  17. Yes they do exist. Most therapists have specialities - i.e. addictions counselling, marriage counselling, child counselling. So, you would want to look for someone who is sex positive and has an understanding on what you are looking for. I don't have a specific recommendation, but here is a link to help get you started. https://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/prof_results.php?city=Halifax&state=NS&spec=17 Good Luck!
  18. Adam, I think "outsiders" should be outside workers. The sterotypical woman standing on the corner. If the discussion involves any private part of our body that generally cannot be displayed in public - I would say no. However, as a society, we have no problems with someone having no shoes on outside, so discussions about feet would be ok. Does that make sense?
  19. The law is ambiguous and you are looking for assurances that no one can give. Since the other board has been brought up - I would like to point out something that I suspect you have missed. Lyla does not allow any discussion, advertising or recommendations of prostitution related services. It's a clear line in the sand. This is as a result of consultation with their lawyers. The other board is the exact opposite. They allow and encourage it. They even allow reviews of street workers which is clearly illegal. If you didn't know that, then you might think "well, Joe does it, so therefore I can do it". I also find it interesting that just recently a Seattle review board was shut down, the hobbyists from the board were arrested based on their graphic reviews. Yes, it is the US law being used, but there is no actual evidence (that I am aware of), that the encounters happened. I'm sure the lawyers will argue their clients were just taking artistic liberties to describe their "dear playboy" experiences. Maybe, maybe not. However, they killed themselves when the also discussed the money they spent on their encounters. So, they tied a sexual service with a dollar amount and are facing court as a result. To add to the whole scenario, the prairie board lost all data from 45 days ago - I'm not big on conspiracy theories, but it is interesting, that shortly after the arrests in Seattle, this happened on a board that allows graphic reviews of illegal activities. So - the short answer you are looking for. It is illegal to purchase any sexual service. No ifs, ands or buts about this. Whether it is in private, or public - the new law made this very clear. If you want to stay safe, see ladies who advertise time and companionship only. Do not ask them what is included in this time together. View the recommendations, ask your fellow hobbyists. If you do see someone, and want to share your experience, keep the details private. At the end of the day - if you still have questions, I would suggest you speak with a lawyer. On line lawyers will give you so many different answers, it is impossible to tell which one is the right one. I hope this helps.
  20. How about learning something new - like learning a new language or learn a musical instrument. Both you can do in your free time.
  21. Those sites actually steal our content, pictures and information. In order to have it removed, you have to pay them - so they then extort money in order to claim with is legally yours to begin with. If you follow the sites links - they will direct you to ladies who are safe, for a fee if you want to contact them. So, between the click bait, theft of images/content and then a membership fee to view "safe" ladies - who aren't even in your area. One thing I've learned is to not put your phone number on your backpage ads - this is how they seem to capture the content information.
  22. Looks like someone in Dartmouth bought the winning lottery ticket. http://www.bigdog1009.ca/news/Story.aspx?ID=2196637
  23. I use an escort based website for a few reasons. It's an easy template to set up. The customer service is excellent, and it's free. I can pay to upgrade if I wanted to (no ad's if I upgrade). It also gives me reports on my traffic, and seeds my name for me. I have heard some issues with those using some non-escort sites for their free site. Due to adult content, they have to remove their content. Not sure how widespread this is, but it is a concern if you've gone through the trouble to set something up, just to have to remove it because someone has reported the content. I know some create their own with their own domain. However, I have no knowledge, so can't help you out there.
  24. You will be missed Lana. Good luck on your new travels.
