 ........ but at several hundred bucks an hour, I can't bring myself to feel too sorry for you.
   
 I'm not nit-picking what you wrote (for once lol) because I ask people this all the time, whether we're talking providers, bananas, or cars.    
   
 Is 3 (three) "several" or a few?   Is the word "several" interchangeable or synonymous with "a few"?    
 Don't ask me why this is a pet project of mine, as I can't explain it; I just really like to know others' definition.    
 Or if there even is one. ;-)  
   
 I always call 3 "a few" but others say "several".....either one is fine, doesn't make a difference......but  when anyone calls three a "couple" my brain actually explodes.  LMAO.

I'm almost there  aaaaannnd  STOP    start again and  STOP    REALLY?!?!?!

Was sooooooo desperate to last the full time without cumming that he never actually did because he stopped just before it one time too many and ran out of steam and time :)
Cmon guys I know some of you are keen to get your moneys worth but don't spoil it by being too keen!

In civvie sex I am rarely "selfish" where it comes to pace, her orgasm, etc. but when I am paying for it, especially in an hour session where I know there will only be one pop and I want to enjoy every minute of it, yes I will sometimes be a bit selfish.  

When you start paying me, then you can call me out for being selfish, until then your are getting paid to make it at least mainly "about me"  I have some favorites who I know would be perfectly happy to let me DATY for the entire hour, and if they were a GF without a clock, I would probably very happily spend an hour "down there" but I am a paying customer, paying for MY gratification, not yours and if I want to prolong things a bit for my own satisfaction, DEAL WITH IT.

but I do see how that could be a bit frustrating sexually if you really want to get off too, but at several hundred bucks an hour, I can't bring myself to feel too sorry for you.

Of course, the real definitions are not defining at all.... at the end it states that each word can indicate whatever number you want.  Which was the point behind my question and why I frequently ask people!  LOL!  :-)

Sorry if I was unclear, but what I was saying is that I like asking people how they themselves define it.  ;-)

In other words, what does the word "several" indicate to you?   The same for "a few"?  When you hear each word, what relative number comes to mind?  

That's all I was asking.  :-P

PS ~ I appreciate you including the link!  :-)

Few 3-5

Several 7++++ (my brain hears several as 7 plural 😎 so 7+ pops in)

Two is considered a couple, three is considered few.
But like many terms in our language people have gotten away from using them

Personally I think there is a bit of overlap where it comes to "a few" versus "several" and much of it has to do with context.

Where it comes to hooker rates, I would think that a "few hundred" would mean over two hundred, which would include fractional amounts as in $250, up to a maximum of about $400, whereas "several hundred" would start at perhaps $300, but would extend to around $8-900 hr where it would be replaced by "a grand or more"  

I agree that a couple means "two" or at the most two plus a fraction. If someone were to call $250  a "couple of hundred bucks" I wouldn't feel obligated to correct them, but three is most definitely NOT a couple.

I make no claims that others need to agree with my definition, but that's what the terms mean to me.

I get just as nit-picky when people write stuff like "my brain actually explodes."   ;)

To answer your pedantic conundrum:

"Few" means more than one but a limited number less than "many"... not an exact science, huh?  I'd say this could be anything from 2 to around 4 or 5.  

"Couple" means two, not more or less.  So, while a couple can be a (subset of a) few, I agree it is also always only two.  (But, alas, my head would not explode if I heard this used incorrectly.  LOL)

"Several" is a number more than two, but less than "many".  I'd say this means three to perhaps 6 to 8.

"Many" means more than "several"... so a number greater than 6 to 8, typically.  Perhaps for most of us, the size or value of the item involved determines "many"?  I mean, having 8 jelly beans is not many, but perhaps owning 6 exotic cars would be.  

(And who did I call pedantic?)

The full word is "pedantic putz" I am sure you can guess the other half of the word "mother ______"

Now you're just making up stuff, or Bullshit. Two words together would be a "compound" word, like "Bullshit". However two words used together, but  separated by a space is just that. Two words. It would be much funnier if you ended your posts with, "Lana". It helps me with the Archer, cartoon voice that I hear when I read your Bullshit. I mean posts. Oh, the chuckles!

My head actually explodes..... with a headache.  And yes, I LITERALLY get a headache when people say that.  

And darling..... I was asking for each person's personal definition of "several" and "a few".    

Because multiple literary sources agree that they are widely open to interpretations.

Meaning, they mean whatever the fuck you want them to mean.  ;-

I was saying this was my definition... clearly not an exact science.  ;)  But if ALL of these terms mean whatever the fuck you want them to mean... then why does your head explode?  Perhaps you should take a COUPLE of aspirin...ya know, 3 or 4!  LOL

....Getting coa

If that's what pleases the client, why would you care about someone that "stops and starts?"

Maybe you like routine, mechanical sex and he doesn't.

Is that not ok with you?

With a three hour minimum you don't have a volume clientele so I assume it's not as difficult for you to control.

I never watch a clock when I'm with someone but I am considerate of her time...most of the time
If we are both really into it it's been my experience that neither is toooo time conscious.  
Unless clients are stacked up.

BeautifulLover196 reads

.. it would be easier to control too but I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because they feel the need to make sure they get a worthy experience and over think it. I really do not know the nature of why it happens but I still enjoy it. I look at it like " different strokes for different folks" by the way not every client does this but it has happened more now.

In which case  the whole point is to  stop and go.  This is all about you.  Though I do like having that control it does nothing for me in the way of cumming unless I am playing with myself at the same time.

Maybe it's like edging?

And does it vary from gals to guys?

I've had circumstances where the ride was short and I got to the destination, and then other times when the ride was so long, I never got to the destination.

I prefer the latter over the former

I always switch it up .. Unless of course they want to finish. But I like to give them lots of positions and if they tell me (or are repeats and I know) they aren't multiple then I will just try to keep them on edge until they are ready to EXPLODE.. But thats just me.  

Don't get me wrong some times I have wanted to be like just finish already, but at the end of the day they are paying my bills so I'm just gonna make sure they are happy and want to come back for more

to create the kind of mental imagery that can give a guy significant wood.  Kudos.

for the time, why do you care how he wants to spend it?  The one who pays the piper names the tune.  Has always been that way.

just about every menu limitation a provider could impose, but no "start and stop" is a new one on me

Don't expect round two at 50 minutes past the hour.  I am not cheap with time since I am low volume.  But,  if my orgasms aren't part of the equation then why would I go over?

The human male  is slightly more complex  than simple math  lol

when they arrive, "Are we going for one or two pops today?"  I've had many providers ask me this up front and I appreciate it.  It lets them shape the session accordingly.  If a guy wants two pops but looks during round one like he's going to stop, just tell him you're close to a big O, so can he keep going.  Most guys would find that erotic that they got you close and would want you to finish.  Just a suggestion.

... when the guy - or lopaw :)  - is doing something you love and you're getting close, say "don't you DARE stop!!!" with all the sexual passion you can.  

Anyone who stops then has absolutely. No. Clue.

and not just the destination. Yes, the train needs to get to the station but as long as the journey is a mind blowing experience, then I could care less if the train gets to the station 10 or 15 minutes before schedule (end of appointment).

GaGambler206 reads

If I have booked an hour appointment, 30 minutes in we are going at it hot and heavy and I feel myself "getting close" yes, I reserve the right to slow the pace for a minute or two to prolong things as I know if I finish at the 30 minute mark there is not going to be a round two for me.

If you don't "get yours" during the session, well boo hoo, you can get an orgasm from the next guy. I am a very non selfish lover when not paying for it, but when I am paying for sex, you can bet your ass it's my needs that come first and if I want to slow up a bit to make sure I can get another ten or fifteen minutes of pleasure, that I am paying for if I need to remind you, than that's what I am going to do. If you would like to start paying me, then we can make it all about you.

that is MY point.

I always try to do mish for as long as my arms can hold out.  When I get in the rhythm I won't ever cum.  But there might be some stop and go at the outset.  If she eventually suggests some other activity, I feel I've paid my dues.  I like mish, it is a dominant position.  

Yes it is my goal not to pop until the end of the date.   Cuz when the air's let out, there is a lot less available activities.

Once I start up I try my best to pace myself.  If her and I are "in tune" with eachother that's even better.  If she says the words faster, harder, or deeper, ( and it's obvious she's almost there) guess what?!  I'm going faster, harder or deeper :D

D.

I love ya Erin but was surprised to see you posted this. Being new, I always thought this was about me. My time I've paid for. So if I'm paying big bucks for my hour, can't I do anything I want that's reasonable? Or that's on the menu, without having to worry about pleasing her? I certainly want to please her, but it's my money and MY TIME   Right?

I had some reservations about JD University until I seen his post on this thread. 3,4 or 5 down from the top. I get it now

#justsayin

If I want to have great sex  that's my perogative.  I am actually surprised that this is the reaction to a woman who actually enjoys sex.
