  1. Pretty much covered it all. The only thing I could see being added is not to expect a right now appointment. If it's short notice the SP will try to accomodate but they may already be booked for the day and they also have to prep for you. Plan ahead if you can but be prepared to hear they may be unavailable if it's short notice and don't be disappointed if they are.
  2. They way the law has been amended it allows a person to advertise and sell sexual services. What it does not allow is for a person to solicit, purchase or sell the services if someone else. It can be confusing for some and that is intentional. If you make an agreement with an SP for sexual services you are breaking the law and yes, the is risk is the purchaser's for prosecution. The SP, if offering their sexual services, is not at risk of prosecution. It was written this way, to protect the SP (yes, it is not the greatest but it's something). To prevent others from demanding sexual services from them. You are purchasing a SP's time that is all. They can make offers of what they are willing to do, but they do not have to do them. That is ultimately their choice. Daysha Love's original post and the posts from the SP's with their general agreement of the issue, are in regards to people's general illiteracy and lack of respect. Believe it or not they could also contact the police with the text's/e-mails and have the crown investigate and potentially press prostitution charges. The reason they don't is because it would not help the stigma that is still prevalent around SP's and the risks to them personally. So to those potential clients who read my post. Be respectful, read their ad's/bio's/recommendations, and if you can afford their service's hire them for a date. If you shower and follow their safe sex practices you will probably get what you want (unless they explicitly said they don't do that already of course).
  3. I have a lot of respect for SP's, they are self employed entrepreneur's. A common theme I read and hear is how people try to negotiate better rates. So let's explore this a bit mathematically. We'll work on the ideal premise of a 40 hour outcall only workweek, with two weeks off at Christmas and two in the summer. We'll also assume a $200/hour rate, and each month will incorporate a weeks (7 days) travel for work. 40x200x48= 384,000 Now let's let the government have their share of the pie, though they provide no support. (I'll use NS and 2020 as an example) remember self-employed so they cover both employee and employer costs. CPP 5796, EI 2055, Fed 102,357, Prov 70,148 = 180,364 384,000-180,364 = 203,636 Let's plan for when we retire, we'll contribute to TFSA's primarily and RRSP's (not going to count the tax effect). We'll go with the average public servant and contribute 10%. 203,636x.1 = 20,634 203,636-20,364 = 183,272 Sounds like a lot doesn't it. Let's take out the 12 weeks hotel and food. 70 for food and 150 for a decent hotel per day. Also a minimal 1000 each trip for travel costs. (70+150)x7x12 = 18,480+12,000 = 30,480 183,272 - 30,480 = 152,792 Let's take care of some basic SP business costs shall we. So we'll cover internet, cellphone, and transportation. We'll go with $100 as an average for Cellphone, $100 for reliable internet, a low ball $400 per month car payment, and we'll say about $20 dollars in gas a day. (5x4x20)+100+100+400 = 1000x12 = 12,000 152,792 - 12,000 = 140,792 So let's calculate the hourly take home and give our SP's a paid vacation as well. We started by calculating an 8 hour day, that's unrealistic so let's add in the travel and prep time between appointments. We'll figure that to prep and travel takes a minimum of an hour between appointments so their 8 hour day is essentially doubled. 140,792/(16x5x52) = 33.84 per hour That looks like a lot, but this is the ideal. I don't think anyone can meet this business model. This does not account for sick days, medical insurance, assumes full bookings, doesn't account for marketing costs, doesn't account for cancelled appointments, doesn't account for travel time, nor the prep time between appointments, clothing costs, hygiene costs. These others factors will drastically lower their wages. So when someone tries to lower their price it really isn't worth it for them. This Business model is unrealistic and idealist. I'd like to hear about unaccounted for factors. A more realistic idea of how many hours are booked a week on average. Monthly costs for clothing, make-up, hygiene, and safety (condoms, dental dams, birth control etc.)
  4. New to Lyla and getting used to the site. I'd like to see interview's with SP's. There are many questions that would either seem rude and prying, or would ruin the mood trying to be set during an appointment. There is a lot of stigma associated with their career choice and it could help break it.
