I believe it's a good idea to touch on the basic subject of etiquette, occasionally. As I compose this piece, I've just poured a 2nd glass of wine this evening. Relaxing- sensational feeling. Thus, due to a little wine, I might fail to recollect all aspects of etiquette. I encourage you to please share your comments and opinions. Frequent readers may already be employing proper etiquette. However, a new or scarce reader could conceivably learn from this material.
The majority of my discussion will be universal, meant for both ladies and gents. I'm not going to segregate male and female etiquette. Capiche? I'm going to attempt to keep this as organized as possible, beginning at initial contact and concluding at saying farewell. (May have to be a part II)
Communication is the key ingredient to life. Being able to communicate effectively is crucial not only in ‘our’ environment, but life in general. Why do you think one of the milestones of childhood is language, learning to read/write and communicate? Because it's THAT important!
Respect. There's a lot to say about a little respect and common courtesy. Isn't it sad that we have to cover these simple basics of life and humanity prior to drinking each other’s juices, comparable to an exquisite cocktail? *Shaking head*
Initial contact. At this point, you've already done your homework and read reviews. Don't sit down in the meadow and wait for the cow to back up and be milked - go after the cow! Meaning- Contact her. What are you waiting for? She's not going to initiate contact with you! Don't wait for a last minute itch fellas, this is where things can decline...rapidly! These ladies need time to secure their safety and this can take up to 24 hours. (more in some instances) By the way, the popular belief that ladies are lounging in high heels, looking like a sex goddess, waiting for your mating call.....it’s ludicrous.
Continuing with initial contact- In my opinion, theres two options. You can send her an email/reservation form, providing all necessary details. Be sure to include time, place and length of tryst. OR you can send her a nice email asking if she's going to be in town and available. Advise her that you have reputable references available. If the planets align, follow through with ALL the necessary information and please refrain from being sexually explicit when communicating.
As a reminder, this is an extra-curricular activity for many. Do not expect instantaneous correspondence. Although, I do feel that we should treat this seriously and be prompt when corresponding. (within 24hrs both parties)
The anticipation is killing me! 36 hrs (+/-) and we'll be locked in a DFK. This is 'the' time ladies and gents, confirmation. Send that sexy note to reconfirm. This simple step is so important. It will decrease the number of NCNS and last minute cancellations, I can assure you. I know this sounds elementary, but please be sure that you have a contact number to reach each other. If she knows where you're staying, but no room info and no number to reach you when she arrives....what is she to do?! Knock on random doors, asking if they're so and so? Details..Details and yet so simple!
Always remember, “A hard-on doesn't count as personal growth.”
