CristyCurves 169032 Report post Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) It has nothing to do with a desire to be "classy" and everything to do with safety and discretion for both the client and the SP. If ever there was a situation whereby law enforcement became involved, it would not be possible to deny payment for what was going on if there is a pile of bills laying on the dresser. However it is possible when in a card, an envelope or a gift bag. This way, you are simply two consenting adults and you - the SP - can claim ignorance as to knowing what was inside, which protects BOTH parties. Using a card, envelope or gift bag just makes sense. I agree Savannah. It is more discrete to have the money presented in something but after a recent experience might I suggest counting it before the client leaves. I usually always count mine when the client is in the washroom, on his phone or at some other discrete time, this time I waited until hours after my client left and he shorted me, he did message me the next day with an I'm sorry, thought your website said $$. Now discrete or not I'm counting it in front of my client so there is no misunderstandings. Anyway, since it is still legal to pay for sex why the worry of law enforcement? If paying for sex does become an issue once you've accepted the money, after it's been counted, your caught. I may be wrong but just having the money present causes presumptions by the law.

Brad 49548 Report post Posted April 27, 2014 Can you get tired of compliments? I know when I'm with or just corresponding with a lady, I tend to drop compliments. They are always meant sincerely, and while sometimes I try to think of either a wording or an area that may perhaps be a unique compliment, I'm sure some I make are something the lady has heard numerously. But I can't help it! :) So yeah, I'm wondering if there's compliments you receive or feature you have that tends to receive praise that inwardly makes you roll your eyes or sigh, to hear the same thing again and again. Or is a compliment sincerely given always sincerely appreciated and pleasant to hear, even one you've heard many times before? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything positive and said with sincerity and praise I'm going to appreciate but "you have nice tits" or "I'm sure you hear this all the time you have a nice body" or you're pretty. Those don't do much. However, any compliment praising my appearance is pleasant, as I do take time to primp before seeing you, but the ones that touch me and make me the happiest are compliments for how I've made my client feel, what he thinks of me as a person, my humor or intelligence, sincerely compliment those and I'll remember you for sure;) 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luckyme 41401 Report post Posted April 27, 2014 I always wonder about the same thing that Brad is asking, ie., Can you get tired of compliments? When I am with a lovely lady, I feel so happy that compliments come out so frequently and so easy. My own question is that because I tend to repeat with the ladies whom I have seen before and with whom I have good connections. So - Do you get tired of seeing the same clients or regulars and feel that it is a chore? Thank you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bianca Jaguar 39183 Report post Posted April 27, 2014 Again...still on my mobile so, if asked already: sorry. How common is it, after a client leaves, to think "wow, that was someone I could see myself going out to dinner with." and then have him in your thoughts for the next few days? How do you stop yourself from pursuing him outside of work? Let's assume he does not have a SO. It happened to me a few times yes :) but I refrain myself...why? Coz a lot of them are married so I just hope they will come back to see me :) I'm single and have feelings so yes it can be challenging to not reach out... Question on reviews, at the beginning I was not comfortable in writing recommendations, the last few months that has changed a little, what's your opinion on makes a pleasant review for you? When they get in touch with me telling me that they wrote a review and ask me if it's ok and if I approve :) I do love to see a reco that I did not expect...kind of a nice suprise :) I'm more clueless than the average bear. What does it mean when after a session an SP asks "Can I put your number in my phone"? I never ask that but would presume they would want to know that it's you calling...good thing I'm sure :) What advice would you give to a client who is a virgin? And If you meet a client who is a virgin, how would you go about relaxing him? Just tell the sp before and go with the flow...most ladies here would know how to make you feel at ease...for me I would start with a conversation to break the ice...usually it does wonders :) I am asking this as a gentleman who always respects a ladies boundaries. For a paid encounter would you be open to: Going out to dinner or a movie Holding hands or walking arm in arm I did this once with an escort once and it was a total rush! Something I would love to experience again. OR Do you prefer keeping things completely private and isolated at an in-call/out-call location? I would absolutely love to hold hands and walk arm in arm :) that would be the real gfe. The topic of recommendations has been brought up before. But how important and valuable are they to the ladies. Do they really have a noticeable benefit for a ladies' business (yes intimate or not, I never lose sight of the fact that this is the lady's business and livelihood). I've never been asked by a lady to write a recommendation after an encounter (mine come from the heart ;-) ) but when I do write one I am thanked for it. I'm just wondering. I've written many deserved recommendations, I'm just curious how important they are to a lady's business. A curious rambling question RG I'm sure they're important to a certain point...when you start it helps get you established...for me now... I appreciate a gent who takes time to write a reco, it's flattering and it makes my day :) Many guys love it but do you wonderful ladies enjoy it when a man (client or SO) Cums on your Face. Secondly in your private collection of pictures do you have any with your face covered in cum (note... not asking you to share just if you have taken any). Thanks for all the great answers I've done it before but never took pic snd never will... Additional Comments: Sweet Escapes last post about not receiving clothing as a gift often made me wonder... What types of gifts to you beautiful ladies normally receive and what would you like to receive? I love receiving a gift card...it takes less room in luggages lol, I love wine too to share during encounters :) From my observational level of statistics, I've noticed a majority of women have hidden their face. And I imagine for the obvious reason of privacy. This question is for those who have their face out in the open, given the industry norm, why did you decide to 'out' your face? Did it result in any change? I used to show my face at the beginning but decided not too coz I don't want to be recognized in public. New day new question! Do you have clients that you are more excited to see than others? Are there regulars that you anticipate with excitement or is meeting a new client more of a thrill? Yes of course :) i always enjoy seeing a repeat client...some more then others coz of the chemistry we have built together :)but seeing a new client can be very thrilling too :) BJ Additional Comments: Have you ever wanted to meet a particular cerb member in person, and get really nervous due to certain perception or expectation you have of them? Yes it happened to me a few times...I'd rather not know too much and find out for myself :) 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emma Alexandra 123368 Report post Posted April 27, 2014 I'm a newcomer to CERB and have not yet availed myself of the services of a professional SP. I discovered this wonderful CERB community around the same time I started seriously considering this industry as an ideal avenue for someone such as myself, in short, a man who wishes to remain unattached, but still has an itch to scratch! I'm a hundred and twelve percent positive I'd be nervous as hell the first time, and worry about this being detrimental to the experience. Is there any advice you could offer? I can't speak for anyone else but i'm always a bit nervous meeting a client for the first time. So i break the ice right away with a nice hug and a big kiss. This always seems to work. From there i'll lead the way...Making people feel comfortable is part of what we do. ;) If we can't do that then we shouldn't be in the business. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My own question is that because I tend to repeat with the ladies whom I have seen before and with whom I have good connections. So - Do you get tired of seeing the same clients or regulars and feel that it is a chore? Thank you. I don't get tired of compliments, but sometimes i do take them with a dose of reality. at my age, and shape, etc etc. But still, when someone is touching your intimate parts, and the lights are dim, she is going to be beautiful and you are going to compliment her, lol. I appreciate them all, it is always a treat to be appreciated. I am never tired of regulars or the same clients. Regulars are what we strive for, there is less benefit in seeing new people each and every time, you don't want to go thru the giving out info, giving out address, wonder if they are going to show up, wonder when they are going to call you to say they are lost, etc. re: the envelope, i am always surprised when someone still mentions using this method due to legal issues. There are no legal issues in the discussion of payment for sexual services, getting paid for sexual services, and paying for sexual services. That is what prostitution is legal means. This is not up for debate. I do know yet don't understand why some people know about the solicitation law (which the SCC overturned mind you, so it was discussed many times) and not understand that solicitation isn't prostitution, and that the criminalization of solicitation is only in regards to 'public' solicitation, as in any attempt to discuss $ for sex in pubic, outside, in a hotel lobby, in a bar, on a street corner, etc. public is public, the insides of the incall or outcall location is private. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Layah 7013 Report post Posted April 28, 2014 While reading another thread a question occurred to me. Why ask for the donation in an envelope? I understand wanting to complete the transaction early in the encounter, quickly and without requiring a prompt, but why the envelope? :confused0024: I may be totally wrong but I believe some do it this way so it feels more professional vs. handing over a wad of cash. Personally, I like the envelope system when dealing with clients I already know because we have built a certain level of trust. Not as comfortable with new people because I don't have much of a clue what they're like. I'm not the type to start counting out cash in front of them but I am able to get a pretty accurate idea of what's there if I see the bills. Ideally, I don't like having it handed to me. I prefer to have it placed on either my kitchen table or nightstand. Then again, I just moved into a new place so I'll have to choose somewhere else. (I haven't entertained here yet as I'm still getting settled in.) For outcalls, my preference is the bathroom counter because the first thing I usually do is stop there to freshen up and make sure I look alright. The majority of my outcall clients are from out of town so having my donation left on the bathroom counter also allows me to count it discreetly. But that's just the way I'm most comfortable. My preference is right for me but most assuredly isn't right for everyone. We all have our preferences and one isn't better than the other, just different. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brad 49548 Report post Posted August 23, 2014 A bit of a ramble before my question: I prefer to arrange encounters at least several days in advance, in part because I enjoy the anticipation but also because it gives everyone plenty of time to reply. I imagine, however, that while it's generally a bad idea to try and arrange something the very last minute, doing so for the same-day with at least a few hours notice is fairly normal. But as people have mentioned before if you leave a message for someone (or text, email, etc) it's not reasonable to expect an immediate response. But on the other hand if you wait even a few hours for a resply before trying someone else, your chance for the day could easily be gone. I suspect one solution is if there's 2 or 3 ladies a person would be interested in meeting to message them all in the hopes that one is available and will reply. But this seems potentially rude, since it's always possible more than one will end up responding. I would think ladies could get annoyed if they take time to reply to a same-day request only to be told they were too late. But I guess that's what I want to know. From the ladies' perspective, does it bother you if you get back to someone the same day and they reply that they've already booked with someone else? If someone is looking to arrange something within a few hours, is the better solution for them to only try with ladies that book by phone rather than text/email?

If someone is looking to arrange something within a few hours, is the better solution for them to only try with ladies that book by phone rather than text/email? If this is something you are looking into (a short notice same day sp) I would urge you to find the sps who have phone call as their main method of contact. I wouldn't think it makes any sense to send an email on the day you are interested in booking and expect anyone to have seen it and replied to it in a time frame that you can work with. Plus SUPER SLOW back and forth. Same with text. one line. wait. one line reply. wait. back and forth, omg. lol. Just phone, you get voice mail, leave a message. I've told people whatever the message is, leave it, even if it is I'll call you back in an hour, call me if you get this within an hour, or don't call me back at all, or don't call me back unless you can call before 3pm, or i'm looking for 2pm, call me back if that's ok. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hello, Brad Smartphones are really useful because they receive emails just as fast as text messages. I would say that you could do a last minute booking by email. Just make sure the lady of choice corresponds in this manner. For this to work properly, you have to read the escorts ads, and or website. Usually all the information will be there. If not, you could send an email, just to check. Also make sure you have read a ladies booking procedure, this is helpful if you want to book quickly. I'd suggest you contact one lady at a time. So you don't interfere with anyone's schedules. I'd wait a half an hour, an hour tops, and if the appointment is not booked within then, find another lady. It's really easy to delete emails from the phone once the session is done. I try to keep my inboxes empty. I hope that helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand wanting to complete the transaction early in the encounter, quickly and without requiring a prompt, but why the envelope? :confused0024: One it makes it easier for the lady to carry the donation after the encounter is over. Some ladies, especially after a multi hour encounter could possibly be carrying a couple thousand dollars with them Which btw is a good reason to use email money transfer. Quick, painless and no one needs to worry about carrying large sums of money with them. Another reason comes to mind. No one actually witnesses money changing hands, at the most, an envelope changing hands. Likewise a lot of ladies websites say lay the donation on a table where it is visible. That way no one actually hands anything to anyone. Maybe it stems from a fear of LE, don't know. And LE couldn't say they witnessed a lady accepting a payment from him, all they could say is she picked up an envelope off the table RG 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It offered an amazing insight from a group of very honest individuals. My question is in the area of how taxes are paid or not? Since many SP's consider their activities as a business or sole proprietorship, so therefore an income/expense statement is prepared compiled with supporting documents as a basis for a annual federal tax filing. Once filed the CRA will usually request tax prepayments for the current fiscal year based on the previous year net income. All sorts of questions from compiling a revenue journal to allowable expenses. How about line items for "good will" and "depreciation"? There is also the question of how or if GST is reported and paid? My simple mind is also pondering the area of a CRA audit. I'm having trouble picturing an auditor showing up at your door.

If you didn't know it is considered rude to say the least to ask strangers about their income, credit, tax, etc...well personal finances. Entirely an inappropriate question to even ask, not just here, but anywhere. This has nothing to do with proper etiquette when talking with companions. This is about proper manners when talking to anyone. Do you ask "civilians" (ie people outside this lifestyle), who are strangers to you about their taxes. If not, why be so rude to professional companions Would you like it if a stranger asked details about your taxes RG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
