From what I have heard, this has always been a problem with some guys.  I would think most guys would get the hint if the escorts gets up and starts getting dressed or whatever else she needs to do for what is next on her schedule.  If that doesn't work, then saying something along the lines of "well I need get ready for my next appointment" or some other statement that clearly says she's got something else to do now should do the trick.  If not, then I guess she tells him flat out he needs to leave.

Being relatively new to the hobby (six-plus months now), I've usually been paranoid about overstaying my welcome, so I've tended to end the sessions early--15-20 minutes early sometimes.  More recently, if it's been an outcall in my hotel room, I'm made sure there's a clock prominently displayed by the pillows, so that both of us can see it clearly.  This has worked well for me, and I've been able to get closer to the full hour (or two hours).

It's her business so she leads the way and sets the parameters. Most providers shouldn't have a problem shooing clients out the door diplomatically.

Personally I don't think I've ever had a problem with wanting to stick around after I've had my cup. If I was a two cup kind of guy it may be different.

When I saw a provider in Las Vegas, she had one of those kitchen cooking timers with a loud ringer.  She wound it up and  set if for an hour.  I jokingly said "that's a bit businesslike".  She laughed and said "I get so into these sessions that I lose track of time and don't know when to stop".  And wow, did she ever get into the session.  I certainly lost track of time.

great posts from the guys but it would be nice to hear from some of the providers.   I'm sure there is a fine line between being labeled as a "clock watcher" and a great gfe.   So, ladies what are some of the things you do to signal the end of a session that a hobbyist should recognize the time is up?  PLease list what works well for you so that your fellow providers could implement and for us men to get the message.        

for the guys that do overstay their welcome it should never exceed 5 minutes.   Don't ask to take a shower when the hour has already expired and don't take your time getting dressed.  Like it or not, they probably had a client before seeing you and/or will have another client after seeing you that they need to prepare for.  The last thing you want is to have them tell you they are not ready for your session because the last guy took his sweet old time leaving.

to get out on time. There have been several occasions that I was invited to stay a little longer, but for a hobbyist to invite themselves is out of line.
The last time it happened, she said she had no other appointments and was in no hurry.

I do expect the full hour though.

here is my take on this issue

yes sometimes  a gentleman  might over stay his time  maybe your having such a good time you both lose track  time flys as they say....I figure it always works out in the end think of all those clients  that left too early for whatever  reason .....we never complain  or hear about those guys   that only spent half  the alloted time right ? So in the big  picture I think it all works out and honestly most are just as concerned  and considerate  and  aware of the time .....the trick  is not to book appointments too close together  My preference is  a couple of  hrs. between appointments to freshen up  and recgharge my libido......JMHO

I have never really had a problem with this issue.

As for the START of our time together...

STARTING our time together ON time is also an issue for some people.  I am completely all about the "full amount of time" and if someone leaves "early" (very very rare!)it's because they want or need to and not because I'm pushing them out the door. When it is time to go, I do my best to be pleasant.  People who significantly abuse and overstay their time do not find me bending over backwards to meet them again.

Like most other people, in the hobby or not, I have other plans in my life, too!  So when I say I have time to get together for 90 minutes at 1pm, that pretty much means that I will be absolutely ready at 1pm and may really need to get going fairly close to 2:30, maybe to get somewhere by 3.  So now if my visitor shows up at 1:20 I do not feel bound to staying the extra 20 minutes IF I do not have the time.  If I do, I am often happy to do so...I really hate to rush!!!  Even if I do have the time to stay late, however, please appreciate that with at least a verbal "thank you" and don't overstay that as well.  Obviously on the almost-never occasion of my running late, I make up for that one way or another!

A related anecdote: Once I shared a doubles dinner date, and SHE arrived over an HOUR late at the restaurant!!  The gentlemen we were meeting obviously felt the clock started when both of us arrived, and I really could not disagree.  They are super nice guys, very fun to hang out with, but I was furious with her for turning my 4 hour plans into 5 hour plans with no apology whatsoever.  I also missed out completely on other plans I had made.  Her rate was higher than mine and she just took it and ran.  Wow, huh?  Water under the bridge now but another illustration of how starting on time is expected!

One more thought:  First dates are always tricky.... as we are getting to know one another, there is no excellent way to instantly know your thoughts or desires for what we should do while together.  Talk a while first, or later?  Or never say a word and let our actions speak for themselves...repeatedly!  Men of certain ages TEND to have certain self-expectations...or limitations...but exceptions are NOT rare!  So for one friend 2 hours is for one round, and another anticipates 3, and this sometimes leads to running time close.  Communicate early in our date if you have multiple expectations so everything is good for both of us, please!

Like most others have said, it's not a pervasive problem. But if you are one that routinely shows up late (men and women!) or refuses to go at or close to the agreed upon time, then you can probably answer your own question as to why it's hard to set up a date!  If you are finding that you frequently are trying to start a second round on one our date with 5 minutes left of the hour with a new friend, MAYBE you want to consider letting her know up front that is what you want...or just schedule longer dates.

IMHO, it is up to the lady to make sure the date ends on time.

And, she can do that without watching the clock.  I don't watch the clock now and most all guys have been gents and watched it for me!!   Once I get my static incall back, I am going to be implementing the following method.   I will have music set up on my laptop in varying lengths.  The playlist will be 35 min for a 30 minute date, 1 hr 10 min for a 1 hour date, 1 hr 45 min for a 1 1/2 hr date, etc.   I do not start the music until you call to announce you have arrived and once the music stops playing, time is up.   If I remember the last two selections on each playlist, I should have no problem finishing things up on time!!   I do not mind going 5-15 minutes over and those extra few minutes of playtime gives the guy time to come in from the parking lot, be greeted with a dfk and get things rolling on time.   The guy gets his full time and I don't have to stress about the clock.  Sometimes, I like to take my glasses off and I can't see a damn thing without them (including the clock) so this method will definately help me keep track of time!!!

In the end, it is up to the lady to set boundaries and it is up to the gentlemen to be respectful of those boundaries.

At one time in my hobby career I never though of it that way.  Most providers were clock watchers and it never became an issue.  Then once there was this older provider I had met where it just went on endlessly and I just assumed, since I had already paid her, that she would end things when my time was up.  Damn, it was going on for almost two hours before she mentioned that it was getting late and I was embarassed by her comment that she felt bad that she was unable to satisfy me after so much time had passed.  I gave her a decent tip and after that incident I have tried to preempt that situation from happening again.  

I think its wrong to knowingly allow the time to extend beyond 5 or 10 minutes without taking some responsibility.  The way I look at it, some guys want their cake and eat it too.  They hate it when the provider is watching the clock and will rate her poorly if she's a clock watcher.  Yet, they also think its not their fault if the hour session turns into 90 minutes.  Some providers may consider that unfair and expect to be compensated.  Others will let it go and hope the guy turns into a regular.  And there is the occasional provider that expects it to go over and has figured it into her rate knowing it will score big points if not a nice tip as well.   I think most of the pros have a way to create an illusion of not clock watching.  The most common means is to have someone call about 5 minutes prior to the deadline.  I know of one provider at least that uses the alarm on her phone.  The client just assumes its a text message notification or something, and even appreciates the fact that she has ignored it, but it also gives her a way to say something like - thats my security just checking on me.  The guy should take that as a hint to wrap things up pretty soon.  

I think a lot of the guys who are hung about the clock watching are just using that as a red herring because what they really want is the extra time.  I tend to respect the time but there are generally clues as to when there really isn't a clock or when they the provider considers that its the client's responsibility to watch it.   The lady will say things overtly like - I don't watch the clock hun.  That does not mean you are getting an all-you-can-eat one price deal bucko.  That means you will get your full hour and not be rushed.  So if you are not sure, answer back with - ok hun but neither do I and I didn't bring enough for more than the hour.  She will say thats ok, we've got all the time you need, or she might say, thats ok but I need to leave to pick up my kids in an hour or so.  (or something like that to let you know you don't really have much more than the hour you booked.  There are those rare cases when you have popped the first time with only 15 minutes left and then as the hour is winding down, she says - want to go again?  You say, I would but I didn't bring enough for that hun.  She might say, its not a problem - I don't have any other appointments so I would rather get fucked again than lay around in this hotel room watching soaps.  Shit, I had one surprise the shit out of me once and suggest we go out to a strip club afterward, off the clock, then return to her room where she again fucked my brains out for another hour.  I had told her I has used up my cash with the lap dances but her response was - I just watched a lot of hot pussy and I need to be fucked so get your ass up to my room and your cock in my pussy.  (I guess she was bisexual, lol)  

Unfortunately, this dilemma is somewhat rare these days as most providers (the non-gfe types especially) are one-and-done types and will start getting dressed as soon as you pop once.  And if you haven't been able to do that within 45 minutes, they figure you never will and will start to apply various techniques to make it happen, generally by hand or mouth.  And if after an hour you still haven't popped, take the hint and bow out gracefully, get dressed and leave.  

By the way, one way to know you are dealing with a clock watcher from the start)especially those who are good at not being obvious) is to note the time on the hotel room alarm clock.  Many providers will set it 10 to 15 minutes fast as a way to ensure the time doesn't go over.  

Being a gentleman and respectful of a provider's time will pay dividends if you actually hit it off with a provider.  You can almost count on getting special treatment if you become a regular.  Providers aren't much different than other woman.  They like nice guys and will treat them accordingly.

First - the wealth of good and interesting ideas.
Second - the lack on consensus.

I don't have an answer for converting good intentions into a relaxed way of dealing with the clock. The topic is ripe for misunderstanding, especially for a first visit.

My "vote" (let's assume the guy is NOT trying for free extra time) is that the provider should carry the greater burden. Put another way, I translated oleoneeye's excellent post as, "It's up to the her to lead and him to responsibly follow."

I do try to be aware of the time if it is an incall.  But it is easy to loose track.  I'm not offended if she says something about getting close to the end of our time.  

But if I have an outcall appointment, then I tend not to look at the clock.  

I would say start time is the time of appointment.  I try to be very conscience to end the act a little ahead of time because catching your breath and chatting is often nice.  Sometimes this seems to go on past allotted time or a shower is offered etc and I'll be out the door 15 minutes over. I have often wondered if this is a problem and the provider is just being polite or I am reading the situation right and it is no big deal.  Any thoughts?
