MsManda   25682 Report post Posted December 4, 2022 I don't think that its a code that implies any particular kind of service, but should give the impression that the provider may be more open to some things beyond the standard 🙂  I see it as an invitation to ask said provider if you've got something in particular in mind 😈 As long as safety and respect have been considered, and you've done some research into who you're contacting, it's fairly safe to assume that a provider mentioning this in their ads may be more open to discussing those fantasies you've been pondering for some time.. 😛 11 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s what I would have assumed to be the case, although it’s kind of inevitable that it would become more common usage. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to have it on my ads but took it off as people seem to think it implies unsafe services (that was a not so fun confrontation), not needing consent for activities and that I party or have party favors (aka drugs). I've since taken it off and just added a section on my website for Soft Dom services that I am inclined to offer when asked nicely. 6 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asking for a friend 😉 To me "open minded" is just a phrase to get you to message them out of curiosity. It's never what you think it means. It's just a catch phrase. Nothing more. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can never avoid "those moments". Consent can change at any point in time.  How can you be on the same page prior to the date without incriminating yourself? Maybe I run things differently, but I want the safety of my clients held at the same level I expect it for myself. Discussing any activities before hand can incriminate you for purchasing activities. Imo, if I allow this discussion I am not doing the best I can to keep my clients safe. They may be safe with me to do it, but what if the next person they message isn't safe or it's an operation? I don't help them in the future by allowing them to discuss these with me.  Best to do research (many of us have multiple profiles on different platforms that have lists for you to look to see what may be available to you), read recommendations and book to see them. You never know until you meet. 5 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest   Report post Posted December 10, 2022   In the context of meeting someone for the first time, I suggest ignoring any promises or catch phrases. Once the ice is broken and feel a desire to expand on the business relationship, this is when you can start inquiring about more specific requests and needs.

That’s the way I play it unless there’s something specific in the ad’ or website, such as referring to kink/fetish, but even then I’d probably want to see the provider in a more conventional setting first.

Back in the day pretty much all providers added the phrase "payment is for my time only...." or similar. Doesn't seem to happen so much nowadays and doesn't that open up the clients to legal issues? If so, I wonder how often this happens. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, I wonder how often this happens.    This was likely in the context of reassuring clients after C-36 became law.    As for legal issues, providers are allowed to sell their own sexual services. But for clients, the purchase of those services are illegal. No matter how services are advertised, law enforcement would require communications from clients requesting sexual services in order to press charges. Reasons why better to read between the lines and avoid specifics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like any other form of business, things may change without notice and that's our prerogative. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, I wonder how often this happens. Both yourself and Greenteal have best approach to seeking new providers.  I do have that phase on my website and if asked what I provide I state, "You pay for my time. Anything that happens within that time is between you and I as sober consenting adults"  From my understanding, as long as they can't provide evidence you are paying for XYZ services. What happens between closed doors is between the client and myself.  My biggest concern as we see changes in legislation against legal people (Gun ban legislations) because it puts a bandaid on the actual problem. They will at some point crack down on the industry and sadly it'll be you and I that get in trouble or things made harder vrs dealing with the actual issue of trafficking.  Turning this back to being "Open Minded". Having conversations about any activities that isn't face to face could have legal repercussions. Greenteal said it; 3 hours ago, Greenteal said:    Even if someone advertises or offers something specific, it's better to tone down expectations until you get a better idea of who you're dealing with. Doing your research if they are established or booking a short appointment if they are new and you've done your research to see that they are real will give you a good idea of what can happen. I've been seeing clients for 4 years and we still are evolving and trying new things that perk our wants and desires. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meeting face to face, a lot can still go wrong:  Miscommunication, lack of attraction and chemistry, intoxication, hostile/unpleasant work environment or any other situations that may cut short or completely cancel a session.   When outside or someone's control, it's easier to forgive. But on a first meeting without warning, it's harder to redeem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MsManda   25682 Report post Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) I used to actually say that almost anything was possible, back when I was new and naiive lol  But, people will twist that term to mean all sorts of things, and I quickly learned that the term 'open minded' brought a little less trouble /craziness..  If you say anything is possible, people start to think that ANYTHING is possible, and that's dangerous territory as an sp 😞  Being open minded has brought me to a world of different experiences and fetishes though, that I'd have never been able to explore otherwise 😈  Words matter   Edited December 19, 2022 by MsManda 4 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
