Ottawa scene

[BrandieBarbee]

In your opinion, what do you wish Ottawa had more of to offer from its industry? (I.e more kink/fetish providers, social options, events, rental spaces). Curious to know your thoughts/ input

We need a jazz bar with a kinky night scene. More places to rent that aren’t hotel rooms and some kink/social options

Hey everyone, just revisiting this thread!

First, a big thank-you to all the clients and providers who shared their thoughts back in May. The insights, suggestions, and honesty were super helpful and gave a good snapshot of the Ottawa scene at the time.

It’s been a while and a lot has shifted, the economy, the way we work, even the vibe of the local industry. Nevertheless , Ottawa still feels full of amazing independent providers and talented spa teams, as well as thoughtful, kind patrons.

I’d love to hear new perspectives:

– How do you feel the local scene has evolved recently?
– What could help revitalize or improve things for both providers and clients?
– Are there changes (big or small) that could make the experience better on either side?

Curious to hear what everyone thinks and to keep the conversation going.

Long time lurker ----

that being said i think having to PAY LL to advertise might have some kind of affect to it as well, all points that have been made a great ones at that

1. It seems as if the number of scammers and fake ads has skyrocketed, along with OF farming. I feel as if younger ladies (and people in general) lack simple social skills, which I attribute to growing up during the lockdowns.
2 and 3. The Cougars Den seems to be a good going soncern. It's well past time for another collective or agency for those ladies who aren't cougars.

This couldn't be more true, i find myself seeing nothing but fake ads and scam artists trying to get money out of everyone that participates in the hobby, im sure there are PLENTY more opinions that other people have but are to afraid to post but its hard to participate if all we're seeing is scams, fake ads and the like thereof. if there was a forum you had to me APPROOVED to be apart of might help too, where it could be noted of an alternative to LL that SP's dont have to pay to advertise on and that would be harder to acess for someone, say, using fake picutres and combing the pages to get people to deposit and no-show. like ID and everything age verification and legitimacy.

i may be ranting a little much for a new-ish member but I - like everyone else am sick and tired of what it has become.

Sorry for the long post

Your third point is interesting too. From what I know about the Cougars Den, the name feels more like playful branding. There are definitely mature, super hot and talented women there, but I’ve also heard about some younger ladies working there (maybe the “cubs” nickname). From what I’ve seen and from knowing some of the women personally, it actually seems like a really diverse mix of beautiful women of all ages. There’s also OIC, and while I can’t remember all the names right now, there are definitely a few agencies still operating in Ottawa. I’m curious what you think is missing or what you’d like to see done differently even with those options around.

Thanks for clarifying beautiful🩷

You are right, we have cubs, pumas, cougars! All our beautiful independant ladies range from 27 to 45. Ensuring we provide talent, class and professionalism.

Providers, be they women or men (but most are women), do us clients such a service and they shouldn't have to give over even a penny to anyone else. I think I can safely speak for most clients; we want our cash going to our ladies, not some piece-of-shit farming them out. What's needed is an 'honest broker'. Someone who connects provider and client but does it in an ethical and honest manner. There could be a service charge fee added BUT it would be something that's reasonable and acceptable on all sides. By the very nature of the service (lets call it an introduction service), whatever the fee is would have to be very small because the intermediate is only connecting parties. So, if for example, if a going rate was 100 for an hour (just an example), then the intermediate could charge a percentage the same way any other intermediate service does and it would be in percentage maybe like 2% or something of the transaction. Much in the same way paypal takes a little cut for their service. Does this make sense? Something small that doesn't hurt the provider or the client. That would be reasonable. Most financial institutions do things like this. In a perfect world (I'm just thinking out loud here), the 'introducer', would screen the clients for their preferences and connect them with providers who specialize in that category. You like little feet, the introducer finds you a provider with little feet. The finding a provider for the client would be the service to the client, and the screening and providing clients to the provider would be the service to the provider. Does this make sense? Then all parties are satisfied. You get a happy client, you get a happy provider. You get a regular flow of work and a reasonable surcharge for the service, just like any other business model. This service could be furthered by providing bookings at things like Air Bnb's for providers. The key would be keeping the surcharge so low that that provider would value it over doing the screen, advertising and bookings themselves. As this part of the business would be removed form the provider, they could then focus on more bookings and thus create more business for themselves. I know this is all 'pie in the sky' stuff, but there HAS to be a better way for everyone involved. All of this would involve consenting adults and independent providers. Does any of this make sense?

Like many other things (building &operating train services, health care, etc) Europe is way ahead of us. Example - Amsterdam where prostitution is legal, licensed and protected. Unfortunately in North America there is a strong puritan culture that has influenced how we view sex work. In Amsterdam sex workers are protected and are able to work safely and make a reasonable living. In North America sex workers are left to manage on their own or forced to give up a significant part of their earnings to “facilitators” - be they pimps or agencies. Your suggestion makes a great deal of sense - but it won’t happen here unfortunately.

Funny… this is almost exactly the direction a few of us have been quietly architecting behind the scenes.


The market’s finally catching up.Stay tuned.

Ottawa needs more agencies.

Gentlemen if you want SP Agencies in Ottawa then let them know. Text or email your favorite agencies in Toronto and Montreal and request them to come or tour Ottawa. Maybe start a request thread in the Toronto/Montreal agency review section on terb/merb.
And when they do come then give them your business so they keep coming back.
When I used to live in Toronto my 2 favourite agencies were SFT and HPL. Rarely had an unpleasant experience with them. Variety of beautiful ladies. High end locations and good customer service. Decent rates too. What more can a client ask for.
