I usually make a date with Mary Five Fingers the night before seeing a provider. I'm usually a one cup guy, so I want it to last as long as possible, since I won't spring back to life quickly.  
Others will hold off for several days, get in an intense quick pop and then have time for recovery followed by, at minimum, a rousing attempt at a second pop. Only on rare occasions has that happened for me - ah...where is Tina/Jasmine from ultragfe when I need her?!

Anyway, I've never tried the latter strategy and am committed to mine, but maybe I'm missing out here?

I'm very curious about what pre-flight maintenance my fellow hobbyists engage in.

I blast some "joy" by Apollo 100, stare at myself in the mirror and do some karate chops.

I have always been a one pop guy even when I was 10 years younger. I enjoy the foreplay as much as if not more than the final finish so I try to prolong it to the maximum in my session.

When I was younger, I had trouble holding so I did use the strategy to release myself a couple days before the appointment.  Sometime, the anticipation of the session made me horny enough to release myself involuntarily.  Now that I am older, I have the opposite concern for not cumming.  So I have to hold off a minimum of 3 days in preparation of the session.  Occasionally, if the provider was not attractive enough or she had bad attitude, I would have trouble cuming at all.

Holding is a common problem with young and inexperienced guys.  The movie "Something about Marry" made a pinoneering funny joke on the pre-release.
