Guys read the freaking Ad. Everything should be there. Prices, times, restrictions location and dates. Read it and if you have a question about something for sure ask. When your finally face to face and you have questions or want to go over some of the rules do it. You’ll have a better experience believe me couple of things I learned. Negotiating rates is a non starter. Especially for a first time meet. Same as booking for a 30 minute or less session and over staying your welcome or trying to get more off the menu than you bargained for. If it happens it happens but don’t go into the experience thinking you’re going to get more mileage when you only put enough gas in the tank to get you part way. Actions like these ruin it for the rest of us. I do not want to see a provider that is frustrated with the last ten dudes who wasted that persons time by asking asinine questions booking now shows or endlessly texting with no intention of booking. Be courteous clean and respectful. Try being a gentleman. It goes a long way

Hey folks, I thought I'd bring up the topic of cryptocurrency, as it's something that interests me, and I think could help both providers and clients. Especially now with all the online services, and the recent thread about why some clients don't want to use them, re payments. Be warned this is a long post, a lot of stuff in it. If this is way more text than you expected, time to stop now. If not, allons y! TL;DR Why would I want to do this? - it's a way to instantly transfer something of value to another person somewhat anonymously - it can be easily converted into real money in a bank account - there is also a risk involved due to the volatility. If you hold on to the crypto for too long before converting it to fiat, the price could go down and you could lose value. Conversely if the price goes up, you could gain value The too long version: I'm sure by now everyone has at least heard of bitcoin. It's the big dog of crypto, was the first real implementation of it, and definitely the most lucrative. A lot of people have also probably heard that it's only used for evil, that it's really shady, and very difficult to deal with. Hopefully I can help dispel some of those thoughts. So what is it really? It's a currency that is not centrally controlled. And what does that mean? Well, unlike fiat currency, such as Canadian dollars, there is no central authority that governs the making, distribution, value Etc. Essentially bitcoin is controlled by a network of computers that collectively keep track of all transactions. This network also issues new bitcoins for participating in the network. There is a hard limit of 21 million bitcoins that can ever exist. This is a control put in place by the mysterious person(s) who created it in the first place. Other cryptocurrencies are done in a similar manner, while some are less distributed. So that's a rough non-techy overview of the technical side of it, now let's talk about what you can do with it. When you get right down to it, it's money. It's something that you can trade for other things. Not quite as easily as you can with fiat money, but that's the long and short of it. You can exchange it for fiat currency via a third party. As I write this, a single bitcoin is worth over $9400 USD (13000 CAD). You can buy/send/receive partial bitcoins. It's value is very volatile, especially right now. So you could buy some bitcoin at 9400 USD and tomorrow it could be worth $8000 USD or $10000 USD. It's hard to predict. Right now there's a high probability the value will continue to increase over the short term because of an event coming up in the next few days that makes it about twice as hard to get as it is right now. More or less. But I won't really get into that. So back to why I'm posting this and how it can help this industry. Right now, exchanging fiat currency with a provider other than in person handing over of physical money is fraught with issues. Etransfers are easily traceable. Using a CC is the same. Ditto PayPal. Some providers will accept a gift card of some sort, which is somewhat less traceable, but means you are basically trading money for something else as payment. So why not use crypto? I've mostly talked about bitcoin, but there are multiple other types of cryptocurrencies out there. If providers were willing to accept a cryptocurrency as payment, the transaction can be completed online fairly anonymously. That's not to say it's not traceable, it completely is, but it leaves a different trail than most fiat based transfers. Plus there are ways to make them more anonymous, but that's a whole other story. Now, down to the process. It takes a bit to get setup initially, but once setup, transactions are pretty easy. It's pretty similar to signing up with a bank to open an account. Step 1 - you need to register with an exchange that conducts business with Canadians. I'd recommend Kraken. They've been around awhile and are serious about security. There are others as well. This involves creating an account on the exchange, using an email address (go protonmail!) And setting up your account with your real information and bank account info. This all gets verified and you need to provide copies of documents to do so. It's part of the anti money laundering rules that exchanges operate under. Step 2 - once you are setup and have a bank account linked, you are pretty much ready to receive crypto. If you want to send crypto, the next step is to buy some. You need to send the exchange some fiat to do so. Depending on the exchange this could be an interac etransfer, a wire transfer, or with Kraken you can even walk into a post office and hand over cash (for a fee). Once the fiat arrives on the exchange (depending on the funding method it can be almost instant, or take a few days) you are ready to buy. Step 3 - Time to buy some crypto! What you are doing is asking the other users of the exchange to take your money and send you crypto. The simplest method is to use the market price. This will get actioned pretty much immediately and now you will have crypto available in your exchange wallet. Whoa now old nerdy guy, this is a lot of reading and sounds shady and complicated. And WTF is a wallet? It sounds more complicated than it is. Conceptually it's like a regular wallet. I won't get into the technical aspect of it but it's a repository for crypto. Each type of crypto has a separate wallet. Ok. So now you have a wallet with some crypto in it. Now what? If you want to send it to someone else, you ask them for their wallet address, and then perform a transfer. For bitcoin it takes anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour on average for the transfer to complete. This is because of that network across the globe that I talked about earlier. Every transaction on the network is queued and processed and double triple etc checks are done to make sure it's valid. Once it is marked as valid on the network, it appears as sent and will be in the receivers wallet. Once someone has crypto, it is very easy to send to someone else. There are apps that you can use to instantly send between two wallets, as much as you want, basically for free. So if someone wanted to pay a provider for a service, they could instantly send them crypto. Once sent, it cannot be recovered unless the recipient agrees to send it back. Great. So it's a harder to track way to send fake money then. Wonderous! Well the great thing is you can easily trade it for fiat currency again. Go back to your exchange, sell your crypto for fiat, and have the exchange send it to your verified bank account - it takes up to 5 days to receive. Ok weirdo, once again whyyyyy would I want to do this? - it's a way to instantly transfer something of value to another person somewhat anonymously - it can be easily converted into real money in a bank account - there is also a risk involved due to the volatility. If you hold on to the crypto for too long before converting it to fiat, the price could go down and you could lose value. Conversely if the price goes up, you could gain value Personally I've done very well over the short and long term by holding onto bitcoin for certain periods. With the volatility right now, buying at the right moment you could double your investment. Or you could just as easily lose it. As with every type of currency transaction there is risk involved. With traditional fiat transfers, it's very traceable. With crypto, it's a bit harder to trace and there are ways to make it even harder, but for the most part it won't show up on a bank statement when you are sending it to someone which helps the clients. For the providers it can add a bit more of a process to cash out vs physical cash. There's a lot more than can be covered here, especially around security, trading and wallets. I'm happy to answer questions to the best of my ability.

What's ur first encounter like ? What are things u expect from.a provider ?how does ur first experience goes ?

Just curious about the HPV Vaccine. Is it common among SP's? :? I am really curious about the HVP Vaccine and its real effects. A few weeks ago, I came across an article from a respected source, that in my opinion over exaggerates the effects of HVP on someone's health, and the fact that they also describe the vaccine as an elixir that can prevent all that harm. Is this really true? Or is it just a pharmaceutical strategy? Specially, because the vaccine is not cheap at all, and most health plans do not cover it. What do you think? Is the vaccine really worth it? By the way, I am a man, so "No", I have not gotten the vaccine. Thanks for your responses!

Hi everyone, First thank you for reading my thread! It's long and more of a rant, but I just wanted to share and see what kind of response I got I'm just wondering, and would like feedback on this topic. It's a situation I've been having lately, specially with 21 years old. Not that they are the only ones but they seem to be the most common. They start their conversations with: "Hi I'm 21 years old, good looking, how about you cut me a deal and I treat you like a lady, you might like it!" When you give them your rate, they keep taking your time asking personal questions, then they say they don't want to book they want to be friends, get to know you and see where it goes from there. When you explain to them that you post because you want to make money, and this is your work. You are not friends, but clients, either don't believe you or ignore it and they keep persisting. I'm just curious if, and I'm sure the answer will be yes, other SPs get this type of client and if they do, what do they say to get them to either book or rid of them? I've used a lot of different techniques and none seem to work. I've even told 1 guy who said:(note: this conversation happened after he told me he was shy and needed to talk to SPs 1st before booking) "I would like to get to be your friend, go out for drinks nothing sexual, just friends and see if we click" I replied: "Great you want to be my friend, then I will meet you for drink but, I will be accompanied by my fiancee is that OK?" (I figured that would get him to give up) He replies: "why would he come?" ME: "Well see, we have an agreement, when we go out with friends we always go out together. Most times that is the only time we spend together, therefore if you want to be my friend then I guess you have to live with him being around!" I then get the obvious response: "Well I was hoping to be friends and see where it goes from there!" Note for all you hobbyist reading this: (And I'm sure most of you probably know this, so please do not think that I am being condescending to you. I'm just ranting and hoping that this will help people who don't look at life this way, to have at least a different perspective) In my humble opinion, if you see someone posting on any erotic board or boards dedicated to SPs odds are we are not looking for dates. Most of us already have relationships outside of our work. Please do not waste our time by trying to entertain a relationship right from the start. (If you are looking for a relationship, there are tons of dating sites full of women waiting to chat and do the dating thing!) Book our time, spend some time with us (for a fee), then you never know we may just like you and want a relationship! :razz: And for those of you who have this theory "I would never pay for sex!" Ask yourself this: Have you ever picked up a girl at a bar and bought her drinks, supper, movie, clothes, jewelry, etc... slept with her but didn't have a relationship her? If your answer is YES then you've paid for sex.It's not because she was in a bar that you didn't exchange something for the sex you got. This said, the only difference between that girl in the bar and an SP is; you don't have to spend 4 hours trying to pick us up by making an impression all you need to do is call and show up. With her you're not even guaranteed to get any action, no matter the amount of drinks you buy her. With us you are, if you pay of course. So if you want a relationship, pay our time instead of drinks, use the time to flirt and try and gain our attention you never know it just might work! See . Different setting.same result!
