I hate to belabor this conversation but the word "pimp" is not a neutral term that describes a professional occupation, and it's not an objective description of people who manage agencies. At least in the US, the word is a pejorative; it's demeaning and critical. That's why @CaptRenault compared...

I'd say we should be careful about using demeaning language or making assumptions about anyone in the business. I've known some SPs who prefer to work for agencies; they don't have to maintain a website or post ads, can keep a low profile, and sometimes have full-time jobs. Obviously some...

If you're most comfortable with "trusted indies," then that's the ticket. Respectfully, I think your concerns about agencies are misplaced, but everyone has to find their own path, the way that for them balances safety, convenience, cost, and FUN. Enjoy!

I'm sympathetic to the OP since I've always been very cautious when I indulge. That said, @jabbee, I don't understand what "information" you're concerned about, what privacy you feel is vulnerable. Agencies generally require virtually no personal information, though some don't allow...

My favorite actress (as of today) is Barbara Stanwyck, though I'd add Frances McDormand as a close second. Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca is absolute perfection.

I'm not sure about superhero costumes but I think that Delilah Sansregret does (or used to do) cosplay. I've never seen her but I always thought she looked smart and fun.

This post is worth reading twice.

I agree that you can't buy that kind of intimacy, and I think it's a mistake to seek it in the hobby. Based on a lot of comments out here, it can lead to a disillusioned resentment. But I don't think that seeing SPs needs to be "just sex with a price tag." A woman can receive payment for...

I shudder to think about some of the stupid decisions I made when I was starting out, but for many years now my priorities have been, in this order: 1) safety; 2) comfort; 3) pleasure. I no longer use anything like LL. The thought of some "random man" appearing--or worse--is a nonstarter for me...

It feels like this thread has run its course. I know I'm old-school but I'm still surprised at how merb has become so personal about everything. I guess it's just the way of the internet these days. Maybe I'm being nostalgic but I miss the days when we mixed business (seeing escorts) and...

I'm glad you had a good time ... and I could be wrong but I think @Flyingby meant a real review ....

Those who study sexual behavior have been intrigued by a significant decline in sexual activity across all ages and across genders. The decline is especially apparent among young people (under 25), and includes declines not only in "partnered" sex but in masturbation. In many cases, the rate of...

I'm sure I've made every mistake in the book over the years!
