someguy 67067 Report post Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Hi, this is my 3rd year on Cerb, 1st year was mostly lurking and reading the various post and threads and getting to know the SP's/MA's and gentlemen on the board thru their postings. It was almost a year before I took the plunge to meet my 1st SP. She was a kind young woman that gave a great first experience and second experience. I met my second SP in the following year, and she was a great experience and I have seen many times since, and we have become good friends. After that I had my first GFE Massage and it was great which then lead to many more GFE Massages, Now in my third year of hobbying, I have started to meet many more Cerb women and each experience seems to get better and better. I even had my first duo last week :). It was exceptional :) This is a summary of what I've learnt from being on Cerb and my experiences with Cerb women :). What I've learnt from the Cerb Community: - it is a community of caring Men and Women. - it is a source of useful information - is a source of recommended women that have had proven reputations. - it is a place where information can be asked and answered - it is a social community where members have helped each other in need. - it is a place where discussions can be debated. - There are senior members that give good advice to the Newbie's - Also thanks the CERB MOD, he has does a great job, keeping the board running and moderating the members and post. - without the Mod there would be no Cerb. What I have learnt from the Cerb Chat Room: - This is a great place to make friends and meet the other members. - I have spent hours in chat, talking to the men and women of Cerb. - Have met people from around Canada. - I have helped and been helped with other members. - Some night we have a lot of laughs. - Other nights meaningful discussions. What I have learnt from the Cerb Gentlemen: - They are here to help others with information about the industry - They are kind and thoughtful men and know how to show respect to the women of Cerb. - Established gentlemen are proven safe men for the Cerb Women. - Some of them have a great sense of humour. - They have come to the assistance of other members in need. - Without the gentlemen, there would be no Cerb. What I have learnt from Cerb Women: - They are kind and sexy women. - They except people for who they are , regardless of race or colour or size. - All they expect is for them to be clean, smell good and show them with respect. - Please respect their time and limitations. - Arrive on time with the proper donations. - No negotiation of donations. - If you can't make it please call to cancel. - It takes a special woman to be able to do this job. - The women who really enjoy this job and pleasing men give the best service. - Beauty and sexuality is shown from within the person. What I have learnt from myself: - When I started I was a shy man around women. - Now I have more confidence and have no problem being naked with strange women :) - I enjoy spending intimate time with Cerb women. - I enjoy chatting with learning about the real person. - I have become friends with several of the women and keep in contact with them. - Women seem to actually like me for some reason. - As with all meetings, YMMV, But I've learnt to be a gentleman and have in general received better services then I expected :) - Always please the women first, and they will return the favour :) - As I always say, I'm a gentleman and the woman cum first :) Advice to Newbies: - Read the above facts :) - Respect the women. - Be a gentleman. - Women with recommendations are a good choice, but in all cases YMMV. - Participate and become part of the Cerb Community. In closing. I love being on CERB, it has become a daily part of my life. and Thank you to all you women for being sexy, kind, beautiful and emotionally strong to be able to provide the services that you do. I am grateful for the exceptional times that I have spent with Cerb women, they know who they are :). And I hope to have many more great experiences. Gentlemen and women, let's hear what you have learnt from your experiences on Cerb. Edited May 19, 2013 by someguy Grammar errors 29 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meaghan McLeod 179664 Report post Posted May 18, 2013 Thank you so much for this thread. Very wise words, and it really is true. I have learnt from Cerb to reach out to others. I have always worked alone. Even if working with an agency, I still kept to myself. It wasn't that I was shy, but more that I really didn't trust others. There were too many trouble makers, shit disturbers and those out to take from you what you have. Here, however, I have made some really good friends. People that want to help, not because they want something in return, but they genuinely want to help you. I have had sp's contact me for no reason, but to say hi, if you ever need any help, I am here for you. Not that I was in crisis, but that they see that I was new, and they wanted to make sure I was welcome. When working in this industry, those that do not work in it really don't understand. They think they do, but really they don't. Here, I have found sp's and hobbyists that have brought information to my attention, that I would never have thought of myself. The perspective of another sp. Also, the perspective of another hobbyist. This alone is so valuable. I am grateful for cerb. Not specifically as an advertising site. I can get that anywhere. Even as a recommendation site, well, that helps, but in reality, even without the recommendations or the advertisements, what I get from here is a sense I have a whole country that is routing for me, is watching my back, loves me and treats me with respect. Wow, and I don't even have to pay anything for this. I have become the provider I want to be. I have been able to showcase my talents, ideas, thoughts, silly stuff and of course the serious stuff. Thank you to everyone that makes this site such a great commodity. It is my resource, my inspiration, my desire to better myself. I am blessed to be here and I thank everyone. xoxo 12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CristyCurves 169032 Report post Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) It been 2 years on the 11th that I have now belonged to Cerb. So I thought I'd share some of the things I've learned, especially of late 1. That is: Who some say is a good client may not necessarily be for me. If I get the sense that the person interested in seeing me isn't my type best not to follow through. I've done this to many times resulting in wasted time, no fun and regretful moments. I used to get the feeling just because someone, especially a Cerb member, wanted to see me it was necessary to book. I guess I was afraid of the repercussions of refusing:( One persons champagne is another persons beer! 2.Just because someone is a Cerb member doesn't mean their character is golden. I am grateful to be here and thankful I'm accepted by a lot but I have realized that there are unreliable people everywhere, cerb is no exception and, trust has to be earned it isn't guaranteed by any site. Nothing is. :) 3. This is a great place to discuss sex and to dirty talk. 4. We are lucky to have a Canada wide FREE advertising site and I'm happy and thankful to be a part of it:) 5.Thankfully, a site where there can be no bashing, some still make digs, but hey, they have to have something to do:) 6.That perhaps Ottawa is the center of the universe, lol. 7.Research, research ,research- this goes both ways. 8. Being a provider isn't anything to be ashamed of, it can be like actual dating and sometimes surprisingly nice things can result from it. Never be afraid to go beyond your boundaries. Its my time, my body and, mine to share and to do with as I please:) 9. Ignore, ignore, ignore maliciousness. When you do, good things happen:) 10. Most importantly- ENJOY- its alright to have a good time with a date. It is after all about having fun and wanting to give someone else a sample of "you" and that needs to be beneficial for both sides:) 11. Recommendations are nice but they are just an opinion 12. I'm good at a lot of things but I'm the best at just being myself, to some that'll be great and to others not so good, win some lose some. I've learned that its okay not to be liked by everyone . Well my last sentiment-I've been bad-I've been booted out a couple of times-live an learn-move on:) and I've been good-have lots of rep points now:) and cerbie friends- so thanks for letting me into your neighbourhood:) Edited June 16, 2013 by cr**tyc***es 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted June 17, 2013 What I have learned. CERB is a community of like minded people, sharing a common lifestyle. But this community isn't just about this wonderful lifestyle, although some of the subject matters do involve this lifestyle. We are supportive of one another and there are topics beyond this lifestyle. The members here may all share a common interest, but that isn't only what we are all about RG 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest webothscore Report post Posted September 16, 2013 Although lighthearted, I state this with sincerity, and I could go on and on but I will limit the list of names. I could say many good qualities for each but I will list the very first that comes to mind. This is what I have learned from CERB :) my own spin on the question ... Megforfun is intelligent Nikki Vee is just the right amount of sassy and naughty RG is a gentleman Lee R is playful Old Dog is the glue of CERB meaghanmcleod is compassionate Cristycurves is a good thread starter as many contribute almost all the time Phaedrus is diverse in his posts Micquelon has insomnia but for the right reasons RNH can contribute on many levels MidnightMassage is ultra observant and believes in the greater good Emiafish is a positive light CleoCatra says it like it is EmilyJ loves a certain body part Someguy is a true motivator Penelope has a good heart MightyFinn provides daily laughter Gabriella Laurence is elegant Cat shares some inquisitive thoughts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
someguy 67067 Report post Posted November 16, 2013 Cerb is a great source of information. And a way of meeting lovely women. It is always entertaining and a place to chat with other members. Great place for Newbies to learn the ropes of hobbying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ice4fun 78407 Report post Posted November 20, 2013 I have learned that a lot of amazing Men and Women participate in the sex work industry and they demonstrate better morals and ethics than most of the general community that look down their noses at them. Really that should not have surprised me. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest c**io**m7 Report post Posted November 20, 2013 I will make this short and sweet: 1) pretty much everything said so far in this thread 2) men who hobby are not necessarily douche bags who can only get laid if they pay for it 3) the women who work in this industry are not dirty, crack-addicted sluts and whores...in fact...they are beautiful human beings 4) with my new-found education, I have no problem setting people straight when they speak of this industry as being "dirty, disgusting, demeaning etc..." 5) there is much more to passion and intimacy than getting the dicky sticky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
someguy 67067 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 All I can say, is after meeting more different women since I started this thread. Is that the beautiful sexy Cerb women rock :) They are all kind and beautiful in their own ways and have treated me with kindness and friendships :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moj0llama 600 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 This site is absolutely fantastic. I had my first encounter with a SP who advertised on Cerb, and I loved being able to read her recommendations and posts, and get a feel for who she was, as opposed to before when I would roll the dice on a potential clock watcher from backpage. As with any internet community, the community is only as good as its moderation team, my hat goes off to all the work they do around here. Also, the idea of new accounts needing the first 5 posts checked by a mod is genius! Not only deters douchebags, but also encourages cool, loving people to join in and post so their account becomes un-moderated. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest g*nch***2 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 What I have learned from CERB? I have learned not to be so ashamed of my way of life. It is a relief to be able to talk about this stuff without being judged. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

someguy 67067 Report post Posted April 9, 2014 Day by day the Cerb community is growing. New friends are being made. Information being passed on to the newbies. Sp's and MA's finding a sense of community and helping each other out. This really is a great place to hang out. and I find myself spending far too much time here. But I am enjoying myself, chatting with many new people and making new friends. What has your experience been? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
someguy 67067 Report post Posted July 24, 2014 There are far too many beautiful, sexy Cerb women here these days. I've met many women this year and have spent more and more time on this site. Hopefully Bill 36 won't screw up this site for us. It's a source of useful information and if people could read the post here, they would realize that the women here are on there own free will and really do enjoy there jobs and that the money they earn, help support their families or put them thru university or college. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
someguy 67067 Report post Posted January 11, 2015 it's 2015 and we are now Lyla.com. Bill 3 6 does not seem to have affected us so far. Not mention of it lately. This community is still strong and as supportive as ever. Let's all contribute and help keep the community safe and alive. There are many great contributors in this community and we will adjust. The women are as great as ever, but we just have to learn to advertise and post without breaking the new rules. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
someguy 67067 Report post Posted March 31, 2015 This community seems as strong as every. New women and men are joining everyday. It seems like the new laws have not really changed much as they are not being enforced. Life seems to be back as usual. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
50 Shades Raven 31380 Report post Posted March 31, 2015 I have been on this wonderful site for just over a year, and I have to say that I find it incredible. There are so many supportive people, great information, wit and candor that it makes my day just reading some of the posts. We are a community that helps each other, is supportive of one another in every way. What have I learned from Cerb/Lyla? I have learned: - to be less self critical - to listen intently to others - to encourage others - that I am not to everyone's taste nor they to mine (but politely said, lol) - that there is absolutely nothing wrong with what I choose to do as a hobby - is that there are wonderful people in which I can be friends with for a few hours and have lots of fun with, no strings attached - to give advice to someone of something they ask that I may have great knowledge of - to be welcoming and more passionate in my personal life - to celebrate all the little flaws that make me who I am I found out about this site from a friend, and I am so glad that it was shown to me. It is the best decision I ever made to be a part of this wonderful community. I give thanks to all of those that have helped me, and I hope for continued reading and learning on here. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Victoria Phoenix 3403 Report post Posted March 31, 2015 I haven't been here long, but I do like the fact that everyone has a common interest, and I am learning to be the Escort that I want to be, and there is no shame on that! I love what I do, and have met many interesting and sweet men, who have lifted me up beyond words, and I have had gratitude from them, not just for activities but for listening and helping them through personal issues, this to me, is more fulfilling then anything else! Lyla has helped with this, in introducing me to knew people, and friends, in which I greatly appreciate! I agree with Christy, Ottawa is the capital of the planet lol and just because we are on Lyla,doesn't mean we are better or worse then anyone else:) unfortunately I think people when it comes to posts,, need to be abit more thoughtful instead of making accusations and telling people to be quiet , that needs to change, but as a whole, I do enjoy the site :) 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
