Rambler1980 1359 Report post Posted May 25, 2020 I've had people PM me and ask questions about providers. I'll usually answer any questions but the 3 questions I don't answer are: 1) How much does she charge. (Just ask her) 2) Does she do XXX. (Again, just ask her yourself) 3) Where does she work from. For #3, when asked I'll give a general area (IE Clayton Park) but I am unsure why people want to know exact addresses. All three of those questions are asked fairly often. 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I would appreciate if you didn't twist my comments the way you did. In my opinion, Intent matters, mistakes happens and consequences should reflect what was really happened(if we ever know). This thread should be about educating member. Attacking me for having a more nuanced opinion, doesn't add more to the topic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If her exact location was given to the new client, who is to be blacklisted? The new client, the Lyla member or both? Both hands down! The Lyla member should have never been sharing her personal information. Period. The new client should have not asked for her personal info privately or even discuss her privately unless it was to ask about a review of her service. They both displayed very unsafe & unprofessional client behaviour. This has happened to me before and its extremely uncomfortable especially if you are already vulnerable (live in a place with no security, live alone, etc). This is never okay. I would never privately share a clients, name, job, or their outcall house address, etc. Not sure why this member would ever think it was appropriate to do so. Quite honestly its disgusting.

Guest Report post Posted May 25, 2020 2 hours ago, waterat said: Both. No dispute or discussion. Let me get this straight. If someone contact me by PM to discuss a lady and tell me her street name or complete address, I should be banned and blacklisted if I report that member? I understand your point if that information is asked for. But more than once was told things I never requested. If an instant ban(No dispute or discussion) awaits me or anyone else caught in that type of exchange, good luck finding members to report that conduct. Again, not everything is black and white and context does matter. For a discussion about "somebody on Lyla" this is getting a bit out of hand. Can we lay down the torches and pitch forks and stick to what we know instead going to extremes? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andee 220524 Report post Posted May 26, 2020 I have a two step verification process for giving out my location to clients. I send them to an address of a Tim Horton’s near my place and once there, get them to confirm with me their arrival. Only then do they get my street address. Once in awhile I get no shows but at least they don’t know the unit I’m in until I see they have parked. The other day I had someone tell me that I gave them a fake address that didn’t exist which was totally inaccurate. I am not sure what kind of game he was playing but he was very rude and insisted there was no such street. I said to him if my address is fake why would you post it and why would I pay for ads to mislead someone to the wrong place. I called his number And fortunately it went to voicemail and I got his real name. Am I worried? Not really but we do take risks and clients need to respect our booking protocols. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beesh 1286 Report post Posted May 26, 2020 What these companion seekers / hobbyists (both provider of address, and the receiver) did was WRONG. Period. 1) Wrong, in general - because even I will be quite agitated if someone gave my home address to someone without my consent (email ID? okay ... but personal where about, absolutely NO) 2) wrong, specifically for companions -- because many use their own homes/rented homes as hosting places. That same address is used for their children's schools, may be other business (I had a companion who was part time home renovator), jobs (another companion's son was using that address for his work), driving license, bank accounts, etc ... and such breach of privacy can be devastating. In a small province like NB (where I am from), almost every one knows everyone ! One of my former companion was forced to change houses, because some people kept spreading her location, and it ended up in her inner circle ! I don't know how this can be prevented, but it was undoubtedly WRONG ! 3 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grizzlybear 251 Report post Posted May 26, 2020 I am going to preface this response that I never have and would never divulge a ladies location. I have scruples and enjoy meeting ladies and respect their privacy. Unfortunately, you ladies have no rights as to privacy in this industry. We would like to think that there's an understanding of discrecion in this business but that is not written in law. Most of us clients would like to think that discretion is paramount, as would most providers. The truth is, if you invite someone into your private space, you invite your address being broadcasted and you have no recourse legally or otherwise. I agree that this action is deplorable, but the fact is it's a risk of doing business. Most of us clients have less than the church mandated morals or we won't be seeing escorts . Why would we subscribe to the unwritten rule about escort discretion? 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would we subscribe to the unwritten rule about escort discretion? I am sorry Sir, but I have to disagree. What is moral, is Moral, irrespective of Church mandate. Imagine if you had a close lady friend/ sister, running away from an abusive/violent husband or partner - would you have liked if her location was broadcasted ? Would you not have wanted to minimize her risk? I see no difference in the aforesaid, and the companions' situation. Reducing risk, is the moral thing to do, specifically when there is no legal recourse. Quote Most of us clients have less than the church mandated morals or we won't be seeing escorts And this is hurtful. In my experience (& those around me), I have found companion-lover relation often way more honest than many 'regular' relation. If honesty does not constitute being moral, then I don't know what is. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That includes sex workers. Just because we sell sex doesn't make us any less "human" and therefore not worthy of respect. But I guess I get why you think that. You think so low of clients as well. I don't have a single client like you describe. And I can bet I'm not the only one. I will admit there a few out there like you say, you probably are one of them with such a low opinion of the industry in general but most are not like you say. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldandNerdy 1304 Report post Posted May 27, 2020 It sounds to me like a few folks are forgetting that everyone who partakes in this industry are all people, who by default deserve respect and at least a modicum of privacy. 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of us get that. The point being made is that people doing business from home, do it at their own risks. No matter if from a message board, nosy neighbors or simple word to mouth, it eventually gets discovered. And the consequences can vary from eviction, legal problems to much worst. This is something all working ladies are(or should) be fully aware of. Everyone(including myself), want ladies to work in safe clean environment. But because the trade is unregulated and operates in grey areas of law, this will remain wishful thinking for the time being. The only way to keep a home safe is to not invite anyone there. For economic reasons, I understand why many ladies are doing it. But at the same time they should be fully aware of the risks associated with it. Ladies do deserve respect and privacy. But the more men they invite in their residences, the less private it becomes. It's not criticism, it's the sad reality. It was that way before the internet and things sure didn't change for the better since. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest lydiahardwood Report post Posted May 28, 2020 Hey all. I just wanted to let you know that I have added a rule to ban people from giving out addresses of Providers. Honestly I'm baffled by the lack of common sense from people sometimes. 14. DO NOT SHARE ADDRESSES WITHOUT PERMISSION We can't believe we are having to include this... but do not give out Providers' addresses. That is information for the Provider themselves to share only. Thanks again @MelanieRose for highlighting this, and please everyone keep bringing up these kind of situations so we can work to make things as safe as possible for the community. Big love ❤️ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would we subscribe to the unwritten rule about escort discretion? As a person who partakes in this hobby semi-frequently I have a few concerns here... Firstly I think the idea that myself or others who visit SPs are less ‘moral’ is hilarious. ‘Church mandated morals’? Is the only reason you dont do something is because god won’t like it? How very turn of the century of you! Personally I don’t share the personal details of the escorts I see because I try not to be a massive creep? But that’s just me. I do see escorts sometimes, so I clearly lack any/all moral code 😉 You say that that you enjoy seeing these women, but based on your response it’s clear you don’t see them as individuals but rather as workers or providers of a service for you — which has a whole bunch of issues within itself. I don’t particularly care for the idea of somebody ‘white knighting’ but this is a bit much. It also puts everyone who has seen the same person who would share this information at risk. Example: I see an SPs, we have a great time and I continue on enjoying life. The same SP sees a client who shares her information with somebody on Lyla who attacks, harms of threatens the SP (which unfortunately does happen). As an SP, you would imagine they should go to the police, correct? Well when they’re asked questions, an investigation understandably could swing to looking at the people who have been there/know of the location. Even if you don’t care about the safety of these women, which you should atleast understand that them being safe impacts you as well. The fact of the matter is that these women have an insane amount of power over us, And this rather fragile ecosystem is entirely built on trust and accountability. I don’t have a wife, but my career would entirely be compromised if an SP whom I’ve seen told them. I actually saw MsManda in public, and she was entirely respectful of the dynamic and didn’t ‘out’ me to people around. Does she have a legal requirement to do this? No. Does she have to respect my privacy? No. But is respecting this dynamic exactly one of the reasons she is one the most respected SPs in Halifax? Absolutely. TL;DR If you think these women don’t deserve to have their privacy respected, you’re a piece of shit but that’s your right. Understand though that no provider should see a person who feels this way as to respect the dynamic and trust they have with other providers, clients, and most important themselves. 4 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In this business nobody 'invites' their address to be broadcast, Clients and SW's alike: these activities deserve and demand respect. Sex work just slightly increases the risk both ways, though I believe it's greater for providers. And there is recourse, both legal and otherwise.
