Kathryn Bardot 99339 Report post Posted September 19, 2014 As a new member I have just studied this thread from start to finish with an absolute fascination. 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. They say " We are from the CRA and we are here to help" I chuckle when I think of the "ins and outs" of the above questions. Any comments are welcome. This website might help you with the questions you have: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/bsnss/sm/menu-eng.html Honestly, these questions and their answers are going to differ from person to person. HST registration, for example, is voluntary for revenue under $30,000. There seems to be a common misconception that because sex work is primarily a cash business, that we don't pay our taxes. However, other cash businesses don't seem to be questioned in the same manner. Yes, there are some people who are not honest about their income. There are many many more of us who do file our taxes and pay HST, because it helps us do things like pay for our housing, get credit cards, buy a car, pay for tuition. Also, because we are legally required, like any other person working in Canada, to claim our income. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tempted Monk 5057 Report post Posted September 19, 2014 Just went again through this thread from the beginning - very impressive reading... There are incredible great Ladies in this community! It is obvious that Ladies who took part in this discussion like or even love what they are doing. And it is clear that escorting is very specific business with its pros and cons, which gives some advantage for right person but creates some problems as well. So, here is the question: Would you like such a career for your daughter? - If you have one or just imagine. (I understand, this is pretty personal question, I have daughter myself) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gabriella Laurence 301887 Report post Posted September 19, 2014 So, here is the question: Would you like such a career for your daughter? - If you have one or just imagine. (I understand, this is pretty personal question, I have daughter myself) Honestly, I highly dislike this question and it makes me cringe every time I see it used in the media because it's a popular line the antis use to get their morals and conservative views across. It's not about how I would feel about her personal choice to enter the sex trade but about her having the choice to do it or not and doing it on her on personal accord. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not about how I would feel about her personal choice to enter the sex trade but about her having the choice to do it or not and doing it on her on personal accord. And the question presupposes that there is something inherently wrong or bad with this choice of profession...and assumes that even ladies who are professional companions see this as a profession wrong for their daughters. Also the question feeds into the negative stereotype that society has of this lifestyle. Something really that someone who partakes in this lifestyle shouldn't be doing. BTW the ladies I have met are strong, independent, confident empowered women. Nothing at all like the stereotype. Personally, I have no children but if I did and had a daughter I would want her to make a career choice she wanted, not one society pigeonholed for her RG 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm with Gabby on this..It shouldn't be how I would feel...it should be an option for my daughter {if I had one}. Although this work is much more personal then most jobs it's a choice to do it. I would help her in anyway I could if she decided to do it. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fortunateone 156618 Report post Posted September 19, 2014 I think one reason why sps dislike the 'your daughter' question is that it kind of presumes that as parents, sps failed the test if we say that we are OK with it. It also presumes that as sps, we are more likely to encourage our children to choose sex work. The reality, in some cases for some sps, we are simply more open minded about sexuality and sex activity choices, perhaps. So if we are OK with our female or male relatives choosing sex work over something else, it is because we know it can be done safely and healthily and by choice, so of course we would be OK with them choosing it. We know also that it is entirely possible to do this without coming to any harm, over many years, achieve one's goals in a short time period, and have fun along the way. If i wanted my daughter (or son) to be able to enjoy their live, not live pay cheque to paycheque, afford to go to university, afford to travel, and afford to pay their bills and not do a lot of struggling, then I am going to be OK with the type of (legal) activity that allows them to do this. now that's a lot of rambling. :) 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Cr**gCa***ng Report post Posted September 20, 2014 I have noticed that many providers prefer and enjoy longer dates. In fact, some ladies have a two hour minimum and are willing to go even longer. I find that being an unattached widower who is able to come and go as he pleases and as someone who is now interested in resuming travel a longer session might include a weekend getaway or even a vacation for a week or so to a resort or a cruise. That said, each provider is different as to her availability for extended encounters, weekend getaways or foreign/domestic travel. I am thinking of this in terms of a GFE experience based upon previous encounters, chemistry and availability, yet it is something I would like to do as I would enjoy doing together. My late wife and I traveled frequently over the years and I prefer companionship rather than going solo depending on where I go and what I will be doing. Some ladies won't be too keen on going horseback riding or zip-lining over a tree canopy in Costa Rica or cycling in France or Spain. So I guess I am simply throwing this one out for discussion and if anyone has done something of this nature. Or should I simply be satisfied with seeing a companion locally or when I travel to a destination and leave it at that? Are logistics an issue as well as real names are needed for reservations and boarding? Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The funny part about us escorts is that we are multidimensional. Escort relationships can go outside the bedroom. However, traveling to other countries with a client needs a strong bond and trust. I mean these trips are extended dates and we are now talking about a courtesan style of escorting; as these type of trips last for a week plus. When you think about these type of trips you have to think about weither you want your own room or not. She may want her own room and that will be an expense you will have to pay. You'd have to think about giving the lady her own personal time/space and you'd have to pay for any extra activities for her. You have to know that you will enjoy the ladies company for an extended period of time. Here's my advice. Start with small sessions, get to know the lady you're interested in. Then if you enjoy her company, start taking her out on social dates and or overnight visits. There's many local horseback riding places, zip lining places and places you can ride your bike. If you feel like you have established a good bond with a lady, then it may be a good idea to expand on the social date and maybe take your special lady on a trip. However, the type of arrangement you're looking for takes patients on your part; as this does require a connection, trust and a bond. Another tip: go to the escort you are interested in website. She may say that she likes this types of arrangement, or doesn't like this type of arrangement somewhere on her website. She may also have a blog that states that she likes this type of arrangement or not. Or you can be upfront an honest about your intentions. That you are looking for this type of arrangement in the future; just the way you have here. Edited September 20, 2014 by Guest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Na****a***mers (RETIRED) Report post Posted September 20, 2014 I always put the donation in a signed card of thanks and place it in near sight along with a bottle of wine...clearly both are "gifts" so I defy anyone to prove it's anything beyond that. I find slapping cash down very crass and uncool. Also, when the cash is taken out of the wallet and counted in front of you. Talk about awkward ruined moments...

Many thanks! I have received a PM from another well-established provider who was kind enough to explain how it would from her perspective work for which I am most grateful. Because you mention Costa Rica, I feel i should mention that sex work is legal in CR. i've heard that sps have to get some kind of registration, (i am trying to remember info from a couple of years ago), the gist of which is that it will show they are of age. There seem to be both massage parlours and clubs to meet sps. the downside for yourself is that the majority of sps may be younger than you would prefer to spend time with, and of course, English may not be great. I have interacted with a number of sps and clients who visit places like the Phillipines and Thailand, (those who see the independent escorts, booking longer sessions, weekends, day trips, 7 days etc), and if you want to set something up with a local, who can also act as your tour guide, you don't have to go the route of the budget conscious sex tourists who frequent the bargirls. Not that i am not saying don't take an sp with you for a travel date, just you had mentioned if finding someone local would be an option, and the answer of course is yes. You just have to find the right advertising venue for the location you want to visit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My apology for disliked 'daughter' question. If someone feels offended by this question, I am sorry, it never was my intention. As I said, it is sort of personal question for me. And I just wanted to hear honest opinion on this subject from "first hands" - official society stereotype on this is well known. Sometimes, all of us cannot avoid answering disliked questions. And it is not easy to do especially if this question is not just theoretical one. And. right, nobody wants to fail as a parent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I haven't had extended vacations with a lady but I had an overnight sleepover with one great lady, Lonna Lux and a weekend escape with another great lady, Emily Rushton Some planning goes into such a date. It's not just stay in the hotel room For the overnight sleepover we had a nice dinner out. Then come back to the hotel. Prior to the sleepover I discussed with the lady what type of food she likes. She's a girl after my heart, steaks were her thing :-) so we went to a nice steakhouse. But it's important to ask the lady her food preferences. Going to a steakhouse with a lady who's a vegan would be a faux pas. Given the short time span of a sleepover the social activity if you will was going out for a nice dinner, oh and breakfast together the next morning For the weekend escape, again planning (together) went into it. We decided (Emily's idea) that going to a spa would be a nice way to spend the day (civilian spa) So I made the arrangements and we had our couples spa day. And we had a nice dinner out, also at a steakhouse. Not to mention all meals during that weekend...but the steakhouse was the dinner date With longer escapes, keep in mind that the lady will not be with you 24/7. She may be away for an hour, may have certain routines she needs to do etc. But this is discussed ahead of time. At the same time, let her know of any personal idiosyncrasies you might have (in my case snoring LOL) Any such extended date requires absolute trust. If you feel the need to put your wallet and watch in a safe, or the lady wants to secure her purse, you don't have trust. To me, a sleepover, whether an overnight or longer is not about an encounter with an SP. It is about a chance to reconnect with a special lady you know (who just happens to be a professional companion) because you have shared memories, a shared history, and want to make more memories Anyhow, a rambling RG Edited September 21, 2014 by r__m__g_uy 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
