Not sure where I should post this but I wanted to see if anyone knows anything about Carolina video Exchange in Gastonia? I have been to adult bookstores in Raleigh and found some nice provider action and some Non pros as well. Went to CVE one time and just found a bunch of guys that wanted to grab my junk.
I am truly curious about this place and would appreciate any info please either here or via PM.
Thanks.
They used to have a theatre a few years ago and there was a couple's night a couple of times a week but I don't know how it is since they took out the theatre. There is Laurus's Video in Bessermer City that still has a theatre and I think there can be some couple's action in there at times? Those kinds of places are mostly meat stick houses but there can be some women in there at times. There used to be a woman named Linda that used to Visit CVE a couple times a month and she would give head to the guys. I would say your mileage may vary. You may find some women in there and get lucky but most of the time you will find other guys in there.

There are three theaters with a private room in each that can be rented for $10 a hour. The private rooms has a window so you can be watched or pull the shades for privacy. As far as the theaters go they have removed the theater seating and replaced with couches. It's pretty nice and I see couples in there the all the time though management frowns on open sex. There is a separate Couples Only Theater on the other side of the store where the rules are looser for open sex but still be mindful that CVE Management is still smarting from the legal beat down they went through a few years ago and are very sensitive in staying in compliance with their permits.
[QUOTE=BadTtBone;2048953]Not for most businesses. As for more providers out that just show the need for money.

Wetlapper,
Sorry to interrupt your voodoo economics with some facts. The unemployment rate peaked at 10.0% (not 11% as you say) in Oct. 2009 was 6.7% (not 6% as you say) in Feb. 2014. You can verify these numbers by reviewing the data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics below in the link below. I would suggest that the independent escort business is BOTH demand AND supply driven. If the supply curve suddenly shifted to the left, prices would certainly reach a new equilibrium at a higher price; fewer providers with a finite amount of time and only one pussy would increase prices and service only those mongers who are more willing to pay (on the NW section of the demand curve). This is basic ECON 101.
Then you suggest that further improvements in the economy will lead to more providers? Not sure I agree with that, but will allow for that being debatable. Keep in mind that with an improving economy, some providers will leave the escort business and find other types of employment. This is clearly an empirical question. You offer an opinion as if it is fact. By the way, I thought you guys wanted to talk about pussy. Okay, I need to get back to filling in for our fallen mayor. Peace, John Mayorgold.

ALL the government numbers are all smoke and mirrors and spin. Look at the U6 rate and not the U3 rate that everybody talks about. U6 peaked around 17% and stands around 14% today. The stock market is up because the FED through it massive money printing and distortion of the bond markets has made stocks the only game in town. Never in history has interest rates been kept at ZERO for so long. People have given up looking for work and many have taken disability. If things are so rosy then why are record numbers of people on food stamps?
Many blamed the last crash on the Fed keeping interest rates too low for too long. Well they have kept them at ZERO even longer this time. When this bubble of all bubbles pops it will make 2008 look like prosperity.
This is NOT the best of times. The government is doing everything they can to fool you. They are lying and spinning the numbers. I wish someone would tell the insurance companies there is no inflation.

Too bad most people think the unemployment figures actually represent the number of people out of work.

[URL]http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000[/URL][/QUOTE]There are many sets of employment numbers. Your reference to BLS data reveals a 3.3% decline in unemployment confirming the point. We are not in a recession nationally. Thank you for looking up these numbers. As Fidelity is saying we are presently in a mid-cycle recovery as is shared by many prominent investment economists who have forgotten freshman economics.
Hypothetical supply demand curves don't apply in a market like the sex market where there is an inadequate flow of reliable information. Were we discussing a ton of steel they might be applicable.
When I arrived in Charlotte not long ago I was reading here that indies, preferred and once plentiful, sadly had been driven out of the mArket by organizations like agencies, mp's, etc. It appears that indies were plentiful, then almost non-existent and now resurgent. I don't think it is coincidental that the economy was strong, then in recession and now recovering. Maybe just a coincidence?
Sex is a fixed cost business not variable. How much does it cost to replace a condom or clean a soiled linen? How much is rent, phone, transportation and utilities. It is also, based upon my proprietary model, a business that is quite price sensitive. Under such circumstances demand seems to drive profitability and therefore supply, in aggregate. Coming out of a recession lifts demand and profitability and brings the marginal provider back into the picture.
Some are suggesting that prices should be lower because we are in recession. At present there are attractive young providers providing a nude service with mutiual oral exploration for $.4 per hour. Nude alone for $.2. Were prices lower a year or two ago in Charlotte when the economy was weaker. Seems prices are quite sticky and unrelated to economic conditions whereas demand is the fluctuating variable.
The economy sucks. If you would research even the 1930's saw periods of growth. You have to look beyond the headline spin numbers and see what is happening in main street America. I look at this stuff everyday. A FEW are doing very well but the masses are struggling to make ends meet. Wall Street is not main street. There are few that are benefitting from the financial repression the last few years.
It depends how you define "recession". There are FEWER not more people working full time today than in 2007. That is a fact. Real personal income is down not up. The unemployment numbers don't tell the whole story. IF the labor force participation rate was the same today as it was in 2007 the unemployment U3 rate you keep bragging about would still be over 10%. Not the 6 and change they keep telling us. BOTTOM, FEWER people are working and that is why the numbers are lower. Do you realize if you work as little as 2 hours a month you count as EMPLOYED in the U3 number? If you are not working and have given up looking you also don't count.

Unemployment is well above the 'official' government-issued rate, which ignores those who have quit looking for work! Every government manipulates the employment numbers in order to make themselves look better. Even CNBC admits the real unemployment rate is closer to 13%, despite the fact that trillions in 'stimulus' money have been spent over the last several years.

[URL]http://www.cnbc.com/id/101398855[/URL][/QUOTE]Critical thinking is the art of deciding which question is the optimal one to ask. My clients, whose judgment I respect because of proven records, are asking two questions and not another. They are not asking whether we are in recovery or recession phases of the economic cycle or is what looks like recovery really recession. They are asking (1) how far along are we in the presumed recovery with how much longer to go AND (2) how long can the Fed prop up the economy by practicing "financial confiscation" policies? They expect good advice on these issues so they can make a return and avoid excess risk.
"Financial confiscation" I am using as the policy of keeping interest rates below the inflation rate. We, on average, can't wrap our arms around this policy since it hasn't been practiced during most of our lifetimes. Nonetheless, periods of financial confiscation are inherent in US economic history. And, not necessarily short lived but can continue for twenty or so years. Structuring investments today depends on being able to predict that length of time with reasonable success. Referring to this policy and its consequences as illusion is avoiding tackling the critical issue. How long will this reality continue. Answers not avoidance is needed.
Is the profit in the stock and bond markets illusion? Interesting yet humorous question. Lets hypothetically say five years ago we only had enough money to hire 5 escorts but we chose instead to invest that in the stock market. Today we could cash out and hire 12 escorts. Hmmmm. Are 7 more pussies real or an illusion? I am on this board because I consider pussy real not a figment of imagination.
To get practical about pussy, this recovery in the economy and markets is driving incremental independents into the arena, IMO. This suggested impact is certainly speculative. If indies are preferred, and they seem to be from what I read, we should direct our bucks in their direction to sustain this emerging trend.

Good afternoon fellow mongers...just wanted to pop in and say Hi and to give you an updated phone# for Shelia in Gastonia..she and I have been good friends for quite a while and she asked if I'd be kind enough to post her new # on here for everyone...she still lives in Gastonia and said to give her a ring anytime...
