How do you feel about short meetings? It seems that some girls have started to offer quick sessions of about 15 min for a reduced price. I know that some of you will like the longer encounters, but the shorts ones might seem to work if you are looking for a quick pop.

due to price consideations, i do like the 30 minute appointment, although 30 minutes is a little rushed.

15 minutes just seems too short a time period.

15 minutes?  Don't think so....

I suppose if you were a business man, had but one hour for lunch....you could go get a quick hummer and still get your wrap and evian with time to eat and be back at the office by 1pm...sounds like a win/win to me

...one fills you up for the moment and then leaves you wanting more, while sitting down for well-cooked meal, complete with wine and good conversation is a pleasure that will stay with you for days.

I was going to post something about this yesterday when I saw some of the adds.an hour is not long enough.I like to spend at least a half hour eating at the Y and maybe longer.

I've done them.  Sometimes I am just looking for a quick blowjob, and a 15 minute appointment fits the bill.

Personally I wish more would offer them, but I understand why they don't

I can't even get my shoes off in 15 minutes, nevermind getting me off.

You do not have to take your shoes off.

Loosen your belt and lat your pants slide down.

Now pull them up and you can go.

Good analogy.

Damn it takes me 15 minutes just to get my heart pumping !!  lol

LOL I consider one hour a "short meeting"!

Mmmm my kind of woman!

...Though admittedly, 15 minutes is skeevy even by my questionable standards.

During my time with services I rather enjoyed half hour appointments.  

As a matter of fact, if they were not frowned upon by hobby analysts and snobbish providers who view meetings short in duration or "a la carte" services tacky I would likely offer one consistently (I recently offered a "French Kiss" session and was heavily criticized by my own girlfriends and clients alike).

Each session, each client, each interest provides something different for me sexually & emotionally.
I provide the exact same session whether its in a Hampton Inn or an Intercontinental, a half hour or a 12-hour overnight replete with the same amenities, the same amount of preparation, the same effort and all of who I am.

I find the elitist attitudes towards sex work which are pervasive on TER and other public hobby forums oppressive.

Although I am not in the least bit interested in providing a 15-minute session and the only thing I will do for $100 is file my nails (it takes me nearly thirty minutes to do my eye makeup alone lol)- I say that if there is a provider out there who is efficient and can maintain a degree of cleanliness and discretion providing short sessions on occasion as a supplement to her standard session...more power to her for fulfilling the needs of her clients fairly.

Be real - is everyone on TER wining and dining?
No, there is plenty of straight fucking going on around here too.

I do relish multiple hour bookings and they constitute the majority of my appointments here in my home market.  However, I also appreciate clients who know what they want and aren't afraid to resist the pressure to pretend like this is Match.com and choose to look for providers who suit *their* needs and interests.  If you're physically capable of knocking one out of the park fast and find an accommodating provider well, there is nothing wrong with that.

Who says that you can't indulge in a little bit of everything in this business?

I totally agree with Ally's post.

Half hour appts, particularly with a repeat, can be quite awesome imho.

I find this particularly true as I unfortunately must embrace the reality of " One and Done". And yes, I said it out loud!

Don't get me wrong, as I still love 1, 2, and 3 hr appts, but short meetings can have their place.

I recall one new lady who I traveled some distance to visit, who called me apologetically to tell me that the appointment before mine had gone overtime -- the prior gentleman was a long-established client who usually did not require extra time to have (ahem!) his coffee served, but on this occasion she found no graceful way to shoo him away until an extra 20 min. had passed. I was a new guy and he was a regular, so I can't say I blamed the lady.
There was a 1/2-hr. appt. following mine (again, she apologized for booking so closely), so I was inclined to shrug it off and plan for another time.
She proposed a quickie -- an appointment that would take no longer than 15 minutes. I thought she was also offer a reduction in the 1/2-hr. fee. She didn't, not exactly. What she proposed was that if I didn't find the appointment as satisfying as a full 1/2-hr., I could get a good discount on the regular rate.
I took her up on it. I must say that from the moment I walked through the door until we finsihed romping wildly on the bed 15 minutes (and 1 BBBJ and 2 positions) later, I never once had the feeling I was being rushed. She made the time limitation part of the excitement, like having sex on a secluded beach and noticing a crowd of beachgoers heading your way.
I paid the regular 1/2-hour rate with no regret, and to this day she is one of the standards of comparison: better to spend a wild, passionate 15 minutes than a begrudging hour with a dispassionate provider.

We all have different styles.  In the end we're all doing the nasty thing-both boys and girls.

Truthfully, none of us should judge the other because whether it's a 15 minute meeting or a two hour meeting.  The encounter occurs with an established outcome for both the lady and gentleman.

Having dabbled in and out of this arena for a few years, I have come to realize that it's different strokes for different folks.  It's taken a long time for me to come to that conclusion and feel comfortable accepting this fact. (Must have been my Human Sexuality course that discussed Beastiality).

My concern with 15 minute meetings is respect for one another.  As a courtesan or escort who places herself in a higher level category than a lady working the streets, one would be reducing themselves to that level of service.  The ladies on TER believe we practice our "trade" on a higher service level.  Take for example the weekly ad posts that are written with forethought and a tad more "class" than a lady who advertizes in alternate ways, be it CL or parading her goods on the street.

Since I'm mature, I'll be blunt from a provider point of view.  For a brief time several years ago I tried the high volume scene.  I became hardened, burnt out and did not want anyone to touch me.  For those of you who know me, that is the complete opposite of my personality and sensual ways.  To be frank, there is no way a lady can provide short encounters and not feel like a machine.  This will occur even if she is not offering a revolving door service.

While we all have a slightly different business model, we must respect one another, therefore I want to be clear this is not a slap of disrespect to any other lady.  But I caution you to learn from my experience.

It is much safer to stay within the comfort zone you have established and branded as your style.  Safety and sanity come before money.  By sticking to your defined guidelines you limit yourself to potential exposure of STDs, and will generally attract and meet the type of clients you have grown to savor.  Your priorities should include preservation of your mental and physical health in addition to safety, which is more important than a bank balance.

I dislike the cliché' of comparing Walmart to say Nordstrom, but it gets the point across.  The experience of shopping in those stores is very different.  Otherwise there would be no website entitled "People of Walmart."

In essence what I am trying to say is guys, save your money for a great experience, not a quick pop.  You can look at a magazine or watch a movie and be "done" in 15 minutes.  You will start making the 15 minute pit stop a habit, and before you know it you will have spent the same amount of funds for this new habit as you would have spent on a memorable experience.  Men are already addicted to this hobby; therefore it would be easy for some to fall into the pit stop habit.

As for the ladies, my opinion is to stick with what has worked for you in the past.
Coming from a broad and successful business background, it is obvious to me that unless you are selling widgets, volume is not the answer.  Marketing oneself as a master of ones trade so to speak, and living up to that standard will provide not only a demand of your services, but a steady stream of requests.  Once you lower your own standards with Blue Light Specials, you may not be able to return to the livelihood you once enjoyed for several reasons.  The least of these being how you are perceived by your current and potential clients.  You are likely to meet some unsavory characters, regardless of screening potential clients.  Even CVS Minute Clinics attract a certain percentage of let's say "interesting" folks. (I know a nurse who works at one.  Other than the Mom bringing a kid in for a sore throat, many people who don't care for themselves end up in these clinics.)  We all can learn from situations of the past, where greed and lack of forethought has resulted in
adverse events.

I did not respond to this post to trigger disputes.  I believe it is an opportunity to stimulate intellectual conversation between hobbyists and providers.  Otherwise I would have initiated this discussion on the Provider Board.

Communication is the key to any successful relationship whether the interaction takes place in the boardroom or a bedroom.  This thread has the potential to facilitate candid discussions of how providers and hobbyists interact and view one another in and out of these economic times.  

Have a wonderful weekend all!

i love having more than an hour these days, but shorter time periods have their time and place, just as ally sez (and says so well)...

remember those days when you had that little honey on the side, with those occasional mid-day booty calls, where both of you just needed it to get done? or your cute little fwb who'd knock on your dorm-room door, and then it was on, and then on to class together like nothing just happened?

if you have a great relationship with a local provider, then you can have it all over again...

t/c

Ironically a Boston hobbyist told me to read this thread. He thought I'd find it interesting...as I was scrolling down reading, I'm thinking ummmmm this is NOT interesting...until I came to your response, Ally.

To make it even more ironic he said that he thinks I'll find your posts interesting! So after reading what you wrote, I looked at the username and saw it was you!!

I guess he was right all along! Anyway, well said and you definitely hit on some great points that I had not thought about. Keep em coming!

Now this is why I enjoy crimsonlass--she understands that we don't always have the time for what we really want...  Sometimes, such a win/win is all that is possible...
