Gee, a topic on me....
The Esalen intimacy monster awakes.
Thanks for the mostly good comments
I avoid TERB mostly since it brings back such good memories from almost a decade of many travels to Toronto/Hamilton/Niagara/Victoria and my spreadsheets and enjoying TERB and PERB and some good male friends here that have met in person as well as just on the boards and attended some board parties.
I especially miss the nude-reverse-massages and have found nothing similar in Phoenix.
Yes, it was nice when the exchange rate was about %US 0.65 to CDN.
My financial situation was hit badly in the recession and is not financially practical to go North. I have a few escort real friends in Phoenix including a Ms World, Ms Universe winner although from long ago. She had a gym here in Phx and still teaches as well as a descrete escort. I was never a client, but became friend via my Phoenix list.
Trying to spend more time on real business making money and as someone noted, I haven't updated sexwork.com for years but keep very busy with the Phoenix Private and Companion Lists (355 gals) that I have run via e-mail since 1996. I am trying to help many gals in the recent Phoenix Temple bust of 39 which all face felony charges just like the almost 100 that took guilty felony pleas in the Desert Diva's case. It is sure nice up there without the legal issues!
I have for Phoenix a separate more public free board
http://phxlist.com/forum/index.php but it mostly just supplements the Phoenix Lists with occasional posts, but no reviews which need to be more private for the legal protection of e-mail.
Activity in Phoenix way down with the economy and everyone scared of very active LE busting in private consenting adults. They even did a round up recently bringing outcalls to hotels with choice of going to jail or the "hooker fair" run by a Catholic charity to save them from prostitution - more for street hookers but many $400/hr independents got caught in their trap.
I also have a separate (free) List just for the Phoenix Temple Bust going to about 100 with that interest - big hearing a few days ago- the archive is now almost 100 pages with lots of legal issue discussions. These are all private e-mail reports not a public website.
On TER - yes Elms hired a hit man to break my legs and to murder a Phoenix escort. Fortunately the hit man was an undercover cop. Long story of his escape to the Middle East with gun touting wife, him being lured back to the U.S. via Mexico by escort .. convicted and was also on probation for felonies in CA. The hire for murder case was not strong enough for trial - just suggested he might want to in future to hit man and took a plea on my case. Unfortunately his prison time runs concurrent with his probation revocation on CA felonies and will be out in about 2014. He also raped a women at gunpoint in a CA hotel but she was too scared to testify and they had to drop the case. He was first transferred back to CA prison but now he is back in a Phoenix prison.
For those interested in old Dave, that is an update, and I appreciate your interest from good times long ago for me to escape the hot Phoenix Summer heat - But in winter obviously prefer Phoenix - 70F range now for highs. I had enough snow and cold when I lived in Minneapolis all my life before Phoenix.
Warm thoughts.. in many ways!
