How can we help our ladies?

[Drek]

This latest US SESTA/FOSTA law resulting in the closure of sites like BP must have our ladies stressed right out. I think we here on Perb are all of a mind that these ladies work in a chosen profession that comes with many risks that more conventional work does not. These sites like BP, LL, CL, etc give them a means to safely connect with and screen potential clients. Therefore these recent changes are not only putting their livelihood at risk but more importantly their safety.

I find myself wondering how we, as their clientelle, can help them adapt to these changes and maintain the same earning potential without compromising their safety. So I would like to hear what others do in your process of finding and choosing your SP. Now that BP is down will that cause you to change your process, and if so how? If I were an SP how would I have to adapt to stay engaged with us the clientelle?

In these last few dsys LL has become flooded with new ads. And due to its listing layout - that posts rates on the list view without having to actually click the ad - I can see this might lead to more price-based 'window shopping' where the cheaper providers get most of the interest. If this happens then some our higher quality or lower volume providers might find themselves getting squeezed out of the market in the short term and they might feel compelled to reduce their prices. I know some might think that is a good thing (for us) but realize that if they have to start compromising on rates then how long until they feel pressured to compromise on other things potentially more costly?

We should all seek for a safe and reliable marketplace where the ladies feel free to charge and offer what they are comfortable with. What advice would we give our precious providers to best keep engaged with us? Happy and safe providers is best for the clientelle so lets put our collective heads together and help them through this tough time.

Thx Drek that is so kind of you to consider how to help sp's!

"If I were an SP how would I have to adapt to stay engaged with us the clientelle?"

-Build lasting connections, with both your guests and your other provider friends.
-Refer your clients to the ladies you know and trust when you are out of town or unavailable to build better connections and mutually beneficial relationships all around.
-Stay on top of safety issues, and share information with other local sp's you know.
-Communicate with your guests and other sp's
-Last but usually first when asked, check with PERB for well-reviewed sp's in your area.

Very insightful...

-Reduce your expenses not your rates... (Brace yourself for any fluctuations you may encounter)
-Only post the rate you are comfortable receiving for the service provided. Maybe Branch out and see if you can find other activities that are less risky if there is a dip like massage or webcam or phone sex, etc.
-Actually with the compromised safety that has begun to run rampant on sites like BP, and increasing STI rates/strains across the country, there are many more gents seeking less risky encounters like cbj rather than bbbj and not into even more unsafe practices... there's no reason to be more risky, In my experience it just weeds out the folks you do not wish to see anyways. Ladies may even consider going straight into massage areas or exotic dancing for stags with another sp (have security), there are many ways a lady can branch out that will bring in revenue and be even less risky. I think it's important for ladies to realize if they stick to their rates, and stick to their brand and quality of service, their regular gents will still appreciate them and see them, and it will weed out the types you do not wish to see who want unsafe practices etc.

@LalaniElectrica. You sound like a Lady who has a firm grasp on sound business practices - regardless of industry. I believe that your peers would be well-served in adhering to your advice or seeking counsel from someone seemingly as experienced as you. If this community sticks together and looks out for one another, I believe there is no reason why SPs cannot "weather the storm". Great post!

Many of those ladies you are referring to, use perb or leolist and do just fine, a lot only use perb and do well. Perb looks like it's here to stay. Backpage IMO is that not lucrative for an actual SP, I think the good SP's use it to maximize their outreach, but I am sure nothing terrible will happen because of its demise. BP is known for its scammers and ripoffs flooding the site. You can filter them out on leolist, and perb doesn't allow scammers on their site.

Wow, great advice Lalani, even without the reduction of advertising venues, being community-minded and building positive relationships makes sense on so many levels. All the time baby!

Backpage demise makes Front Page news, but I think we gents remain horny as ever. I know my lust-quotient has not drppoed off! So what can we dudes do to help? Just keep on keeping on. Don’t let the loss of a scammer site inhibit us from seeing the quality ladies we already know and love.

So book your fave, or one that had been on your “to-do list for some time”. Do it this week. And more that ever, post your reviews here on Perb. This great community does a fine job bringing free speach to the voice of the client, and will likely continue to build relationship opportunities for years to come. Share and smile people.

All I need is LLP. Lalani, LeoList, and Perb! Life is good.

This has happened before, Craigslist used to be the popular site. Backpage was unheard of until Craigslist shut down their adult category. Many reputable ladies chose to retire. My concern is the scammers and traffickers are going to find ways to infiltrate the trusted advertising sites. The pimps won't stop and never will. How do we help our ladies? We can't. Some will weather the storm and some will choose to retire.

I suggest "Jethrolist."
Any interested ladies can PM me to arrange a visit. For a fee, I will let them wine and dine, seduce, entertain and satisfy me.
If they make the grade, I will then list them on my "exclusive" Jethrolist of SP's.
Of course they will be required to renew their membership weekly in order to retain their place on this exclusive list.
Hurry ladies. Spaces are limited for this once in a lifetime exclusive advertising opportunity.
No need to thank me, I'm happy to help. That's just the kind of guy I am.

Cheers

Lol Jethro.

I tried something similar a few years back when Craigs imploded. Puntlist.cc provided free listings for “validated” members. Only ever got 2 members, and their “memberships” lapsed due to failure to “re-validate” their service offerings. It wasn’t that the sensual opportunities the Puntlist Mod provided were not enjoyed through the validation process, but rather the wining and dining and lingerie requirements were considered steep transaction costs for the members.

So now I am thinking the way to go is to improve the transaction cost process.

Get ready people, here comes

PUNTCOIN.

Yes yes yes! Puntcoin is free to setup a PuntWallet, and Puntcoin can be earned in many different ways, and traded freely on the open-source PuntXchange, which works on a distributed libido algorythm. No you can’t mine Puntcoin, but you can earn or buy Puntcoin through specific acts of shared sexiness, EFT (currently trading at 0.02 PC / $1,000 Cdn), or mowing my lawn, doing my taxes, or changing my brakepads.

Analysts project Puntcoin to exceed $0.005 PC / $1,000 valuation by 2019, so get in early and enjoy the ride!

Seriously folks. There are several ways to help the ladies in this crazy business. Do these self righteous government officials not get it. These ladies are continuing on with the oldest avocation of history. It is NOT going to go away. Yes i hear what they say about slave trade, and child abuse & exploitation, but maybe I have been missing something, I have not been able to detect any of this on any of the resources available to me. As for money laundering... that's a different story. I have no idea about how this works and how or why it would even have anything to do with a classified ad service.

May I suggest we keep up with the reviews. YES maybe she is already well reviewed, just dive in there and post another one. Help her out..

 

[VanessainVictoria]

Only book appointments you can keep and show up on time.
Do not negotiate her rate
Do not ask for any outrageous requests
Tell her where you found her ad.
If its within your means, bring a gift/gift card

Hear, hear

Very sad to see so many guys acting like predators over this. Like vultures almost, really guys who try to take advantage of this situation have no class.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

ATTENTION LADIES!

Effective immediately Jethrolist fees can be paid with Puntcoin.

Cheers
