When I first started, ½ hour consultations were a part of my program.  My main reason for stopping that offer was because I felt that there wasn’t enough time for me to weave my magic and give the true meaning and feeling of “GFE”.  It was more like cheap wham-bams.  While my reasons for engaging in this vocation are not purely financial (yes I love the physical interaction), I’ve been wondering if any of you find ½ hour session fulfilling at all?  I’m very mindful that some gentlemen only need to release, and they’re outta there.  Personally, I like to spend more time for interpersonal relationships (without getting too personal).  The latter-mentioned means that no; you may not know where I live.  LOL

Another factor to consider is that I’m very aware of the economy these days.  So donations for my time may just simply not be there, but the need is.  Another factor to consider is time constraints of the person seeking.

What say you all?  Please let us all read your thoughts.

I have never partaken of a half hour offering nor do I expect I would ever want to.  It would seem way too impersonal to me for me to enjoy it.  I like to think I make "friends" when I hobby.  I know, not REALLY, at least not right away, but the semblance of a personal connection is important to me.

(This somehow ended up on another thread - thanks for the heads up Gia - no pun intended - oh yes it was)

I hope this doesn't come off as crude but I would rather have an hour for FS but a 1/2 hour would be fine for a quick rub & tug.

I don't like when a provider says an "hour" when it really means "1 pop & you have an hour max to do it in." So if you pop quickly, that's it.

So I guess it really depends on the providers guidelines.

alot can be accompished in a half hour.  There are times when a little goes a long ways.

I used to do 1/2 hour consultations, but I no longer do so, I found them to be unsatisfactory. I prefer an hour or longer.

my first choice is for a longer, more relaxed session. 2 hours is standard for me.

I personally have no requirement whatsoever to go beyond a 1/2 hour and welcome providers who provide such an option than insisting on the full hour.  

I prefer a more involved experience that takes the full hour, and unfortunately budgeting in this economy only allows me very limited fun. The GFE experience and all it involves is important enough to me, that I would never consider a half hr experience. It sometimes appears to me that the person advertising for this has a revolving door and I am just a blurred number. I will not see anyone offering 1/2hr sessions even for the full hour because of this. Does quality of references or ease of finding them ever affect the price you may feel is appropriate? Even that is hard to keep up with because people change and references are lost when they move on to other things in life. I am a carpenter/business owner that employs other carpenters and the most favorite thing I heard one of my people say one day in relation to our work is that "Quality is remembered, long after the price is forgotten." I apply that to other areas of my life such as this type of experience.

Well we're all learning here.  That was the purpose of the thread.

nxtyme....

A very thoughtful and well-written response!  Your's as well as a few other responses gives me cause to make me think about the very points that you made.  Business decisions are (or should be) made based upon input from the those whom are served.

Very good points sir.  Thank you.

I happen to enjoy both and I really don't understand ladys who wouldn't be open to both.There are occasions do to time constraints,that a 1/2 hr sessions is perfect.

In fact one of my new favorite gals specializes in the half hour session.We have come to know each other quite well,enjoy each others company,but we both understand why I am there.

While I guess I understand some mens need for a "connection" I guess I feel sorry for them.I will gladly pay for "services", but don't feel the need to pay for what amounts to fake friendship.

So if it comes down to a half hour of fun followed by a half hour of trying to make me feel like I'm your boyfriend before pushing me out the door,I'll take the half hour of fun and leave on my own every time.If a lady wants to give me an hours worth of fun,all the better,and I'l gladly pony up.

Remember if she was really your GF,she wouldn't need to qualify it with the word "Expierence".Just my 2 cents.Happy Hobbying and to each their own.

As a carpenter, if you take a job that only takes half a day, does that mean the workmanship is less than that of a full days work?   NO, it does not!  

The same can be said of a half hour date as compared to an hour date.  I can be GFE in a half hour just as I can be GFE in a full hour.  I can make you feel like you are the most important person to me for that half hour because you are.   I take great pleasure and joy in my visitors and I would hope my smiling face and my obvious enjoyment during our date will show you that.  I do not watch the clock and do not mind going over 10 or even 15 minutes as long as I am treated with respect and kindness and am appreciated.  

I have music, candles, a clean, cozy and safe incall location.  I see 3-5 gentlemen per week no matter if they are 30 min or 1 hour dates.  I am low volume for a reason.  To keep traffic down.  To remain discreet for my safety and security and for my visitors safety and security.  I take it very seriously as I should.

I think if you rule out all providers who often 30 minute dates, you may be limiting yourself to some amazing experiences.  

My .02 cents.
Hugs, Belinda

Personally, I never have done and never will do the half-hour gig. I almost always opt for the two-hour meeting, especially for the first time and usually following times. I have done a couple one-hour meetings, but I even found them too rushed. I imagine a lot of the providers will do the half-hour and that is perfectly fine because some guys just like that. There is one provider (here in my hometown, not MN) that only advertises and offers half-hour.

Providers, you have to follow your market, and that may mean being flexible on time. If you want to offer half-hour, and in this economy it might make sense, then please to so. It won't offend me if I see that offering, just note that for some of us, it will be for a longer period of time.

Belinda,

Very well put. I offer 1/2 hour sessions and I rarely get anyone interested as they would like to spend more time with me and that is completely wonderful! But occasionally I do get requests, it is usually from someone I have seen before and I offer them when a client is a little financially strapped that week or very busy and short on time, but they still would like to recieve a full GFE quality session. I also am not a strict clockwatcher, am low volume and really enjoy my clients company Would I like every session to be multiple hours or 1 full hour, well of course, its good for the client and ourselves and more time for fun, but sometimes 1/2 hour is completely fine too!

J. xxxoo

As a rule I prefer longer appointments.  A beautiful woman is like a fine wine and should be savored.  

Their is times when I would like a quick 1/2 hour.  But that has been times when I wanted something at the last minute.  I of the things I liked about the old Relax-A-Lounge and Night Lights was that I could stop by when I had a bit of free time.

But when I make plans ahead of time, I want at least an hour or more.

That's my $.02

Covering too much gound with your ""I understand some men's needs for a "connection" I guess I feel sorry for them"". When you are pushing 70, you will be very happy that a beautiful woman will take the time to see you in the first place, and to make sure you both have a good time and insure that a good connection is made and a very happy ending occurs....which may lead to another extended session be in two days or so,  LOL. TG there is something available for all interests.

Well said. Dang! I'm learning.

It sure as hell does!

For whatever reason, I am usually unable to refrain from cumming for more than half an hour. I am also unable to come a second time until two or three hours later. For these reasons an hour does very little for me.

I certainly do enjoy the GFE but $200, $250, or $300 a pop does not make sense for me.  I often times see a $100 quick GFE providor early in the day (day trip to the cities) and then later a girl I have not seen before or one that has given me decent service in the past for a reasonable price of $150 or less.

I would love to see Marie or another quality GFE offer a split session (hour combined) for guys like me.

Any takers?

What?!

No need to snap at me!  

I prefer one hour, but half hour has its place, and here are the Top Three reasons:

3. Budget constraints.

2. Time constraints.

And, 1., first-time visits.

I don't like to invest too much in a provider I've never personally visited, no matter how good the reviews or recommendations, because one just can't predict chemistry.

If we hit it off, then I infinitely prefer to be back for hour blocks of time. It not, then not as much has been lost.

By the way, I get "free sex" elsewhere, so a quickie session just for the sake of the "release" is not a personal requirement of mine.

Ladies: Please keep your half-hour options!

"if you take a job that only takes half a day"

This refers to quatity not quality.

"does that mean the workmanship is less than that of a full days work"

This refers to quality not quantity.

It opens a can of worms that was not discussed and left for interpretation, thus the variety of response and misunderstanding.

It would be like asking if one carpenter built a house in a day and another in a week would the quality be different?

My two cents...ladies should not do 30 minutes if it does not fit the way they want to do business.  Do what makes you comfortable and market yourself to the type of clients you want to spend time with.  Believe me when I say men do just that!

If you are a client or a lady that needs social communication before fornication, plan it that way.  If you are the type of person that prefers a get in, get it on and get out then do that.  It is nobody elses business what everyone else is doing.  Some people need the verbal communication, some prefer animal instinct, nothing wrong with either.

The hobby to me is about accomplishing fantasies.  Having that knockout arm piece for the night and have other people stare in amazement that I get to take her home with me, what a rush!  The sex with a perfect stranger, no names, communication or commitments other than animalistic attraction and sex.  Thanks to the lady that set this up for me, I will never forget that memory, it only took 20 minutes and was everything I had hoped it would be.

So in closing, every encounter we have with another person, should be planned to be exactly what we want it to be and nothing less or we are cheating ourselves.  I like it all from everything on a stick at the fair as I walk by to room service and reflection after a long day of sightseeing.  Enjoy one and all!

Well said. My clients love that I make that option avail. Its called flexibility. Also a great get aquainted opportunity. Chemistry can't be dictated. If its not there, then the quicker the better. As a provider the level of chemistry dictates how the session goes. If I'm not feeling the person I'm with, the experience will probably be average at best. I'm in it for the fun and intimacy as well. As far as the 1/2 h not for GFE, BS! Havnt you ever done a lunch time quickie w/ a lover? They can be very intimate and pleasant. Not talking about the drop to your knees bj by the way. That I won't do. But a good quality 30 min session can compare to GFE.

I didn't mean to offend anyone,hence the "to each their own" statement.I stand by my statement.I have good relationships with quite a few of my provider friends,some its strickly business.But like I said we both know the real score.If a lady can make you feel she's your girfriend for an hour great for you.I'm just saying its not needed for me and an unnecessary act for her.By he way how do you knw I"M not pushing 70? LOL!!

Have a great day.

Some guys can only do one pop and 1/2 an hour is all they need.  Others do 2 pops and need some recovery time.

I agree that a 1/2 hour option is good for a first date. I don't do many as I am usually a 2 pop guy, but I do consider them.

I avoid women that require an initial 2 hour booking because if the chemistry isn't there, it isn't going to show up in the extra hour.

Thanks to all who dared to post!  It is always nice to gain insight.  Of course the phrase "different strokes for different folks" applies in this and most other choices in life.  As an example:  I wonder how many of us partake on this site, but choose not to share that fact with close friends and family.--------Another thread.

Thanks all.
