How did you first discover Lyla/CERB?

[Guest lydiahardwood]

Thanks to @NotchJohnson for kicking off this interesting conversation on another thread! So tell us, when and how did you first find out about us?

[Guest]

  As I mentioned in the other thread, I discovered CERB/LYLA by simply looking for information about local ladies.

  To be honest, I'm not even sure CERB was the first one I tried to join. With many boards with "ERB" in the name, was struggling to differentiate them. I registered to one in order to access information reserved for members. Again not sure if was CERB or not, but it required a minimal participation, something I didn't want to bother with at the time. And after a few weeks, my password was no longer valid and I lost interest.

    Was only years later I discovered LYLA as was getting more results for Ottawa ladies. That time I put the effort to familiarize myself with the board and joined.

Well it was so long ago I don't remember exactly.  I was doing OK on CL ( by reading and monitoring carefully) but some where along the line I discovered CERB.

Many Many Years Ago...Feb 2010 If I Recall I Arrived LOL                                                                           Actually I discovered CERB using Google.  I decided (another story no I won't tell that boring story) to embark on this lifestyle.  I knew somehow there was more, much more to seeing companions than pay and receive services and the internet...specifically boards provide an "education" so to speak

I perused the internet and CERB not only was positive and provided such an "education" but it was for lack of a better word, friendly both to client and companion.  Some of the other boards (won't name them but take a guess) were misogynistic.

So CERB/Lyla I joined and stayed and will continue to stay (sorry Mods LOL) even with the name change.  That's my story to the best of my recollection.

Back in early 2011 Cerb was extremely Ottawa centric and I simply googled escorts ottawa and Cerb was one of top two hits. I just tried it again now and lyla didn't meke it onto the first page of links. I had started viewing Cerb for a few months without registering but back then you could only view 5 posts if you weren't registered and then you'd get bumped off - I joined, lol. I appreciate the positive approach on this forum and never visit any of the other 'erb sites.

Can't remember how I found it but I'm sure though Google.  I think I had a well known massage provider mention it to me as well and i decided to joined.

It's been great for me as I live in the Ottawa area and this forum was a valuable tool for me to use. 

And it opened me up to other types of providers and elements of this hobby, enjoyed every minute. 

[StephanieMystique 1903]

I found Lyla through a member. As I was starting Lyla didn't come up in the search engine. 

I remember starting and timing my ads two or three days before I needed them up as it took so long for new members posts to get approved. 

It's been a blessing for me to be able to build within this community.

So many years ago, I started to follow Cristines' (Joyful C) message board before the internet grew up, and of course she developed the original that has evolved into today's Lyla

I was referred to CERB many moons again by a well established provider.

[Janebondage 2264]

I actually came as a bi female hobbyists seeking female compInions. It was called cerb at the time and I had another profile then. I had had such a hard time finding the right ladies pre lyla and this site helped so much. I only book woman from here and this is also my comfort space for booking gents as a provider as well.

I started hobbying before I knew this site or sites like it existed. I remember thinking how great it would be if there was something online where I could look up information or reviews on escorts. I did some searching and came across CERB.

And there's tons of great discussion and information - that's why I've remained active on the board.

The challenge for the board will be that once someone had made a touchdown and joined is to convert that to participation.

Welcome to lyla!

It was suggested to me by a patron 🙏🏻🤗

in 2014, when the uproar of C36 was taking place, I was rushed into escorting. I knew I wanted to it, but I was not quite ready as I had my business still to run on an overtime basis. But I felt the need to establish myself as a verfied escort as I knew gentleman would be uneasy about seeing “new” girls. 

 

I went to the Toronto ERB and was introduced to the wonderful Jessica Lee. She was amazing at helping me get started and she was the one who introduced me to Lyla. Im glad she did!

I too am a Jessica Lee fan, although from the client side of the business. We inteacted ofter here on Lyla and her contributions are missed.

Here's an awesome video/interview she did with the National Post.

I was there with her for her TV interview. It was cool to watch and she did so well. She was a natural.

Myself, Im from another city so when I came to Ottawa to work, I went with an agency and heard about lyla from them, though it was called cerb back then. If not from them though, I wouldve heard of it through the gents.

 

When I went indie I contacted Pistol Pete and asked him to vouch for the fact that I was indeed me (someone had tried to impersonate me so I didnt want any question) So he contacted mod and all was well. Immediately I got contacted by Sweet Emily J who is indeed sweet and who I knew from the agency. She asked if there was any way she could help me out. I said, yes!!! Can u vouch for me for the verified section. And off I went into a great future!

 

All my thanks to these 2 friends who helped me get ahead quicker & easier than usual.

And new comers; Sweet Emily J is indeed among the ladies u can trust here. A true believer and practitioner of Sex Worker Solidarity

I had seen the ads on other sights, BP I think, and checked it out but didn't really look into it until it was recomended to ke by a companion. We had been discussing bad experiences when she suggested Lyla.  Thanks to her and her suggestion and to the Lyla community, no bad experiences since.

I had been Googling " Ottawa Escorts" for a couple of months and this site kept popping up. I took a look and found it to be very informative. This was probably back in 2008. Back then there was a lot more information than there is today. The site used to be mostly an Ottawa site. I finally joined in 2010  but didn't post anything for about 8 years. Just used the site for my own personal needs. Got asked one time if I could write a recommendation  and thought it could help the person. All my reviews have always been positive since. Being a little self centered I thought to myself that if I gave a glowing reco I would get a discount on my next appearance. That didn't work out. Looked at other sites but never left this one.

I discovered Lyla/CERB after being referred to it by a lady I was seeing regularly at the time.  I found it a great way to find out about other ladies and their planned travel.  Because of Cerb I got to meet a lot of wonderful women.

some peers on twitter told me about it.

[Steampunk 144]

Internet search.... I can't remember what "keywords" I was searching, definitely not Lyla, probably looking for ladies in Ottawa. 

[Guest Rebelwoman44]

Someone told me about it
