why would a hobbyist schedule a half hour session? why would a provider even offer one?

You are not going to get a GFE in a half hour session. I am in the latter category. I rarely even schedule 1 hour dates. I like 2 hours, or at least 90 minutes. Sometimes much longer.  

Why would a provider offer it? Because there is a demand for it. Some offer it and some don't. Just like some guys will book it and some don't.

There are all kinds of people in this hobby, with different tastes, wants, needs, and desires.

half hours before in the past. I use to schedule half hours because I didn't want to spend one hour because the providers had no reviews. I just wanted to test the waters. Sometimes, that's all I got, and all I really want is to bust a nut. Most girls that offer half hours are decent looking, and I ain't trying to spend no hour with them. Its easier to schedule half hours, and most of the times they are available within 15 minutes. It's cheaper for me to spend half hour than an hour. For example, I would rather spend 1 bill than 2 bills.

As for why providers offer these rates, its to attract as many clients as possible. Some providers are not successful in attracting clients because of their looks. They know if they offer these rates, more will come. They know that some men only want a half hour to do their business and leave. The economy is another factor. With half hours, they know that some men can only afford half hours than whole hours.

Anyways, I use to have a lot of experience of BP providers in the past with half hours. Still now, if I am tempted, who knows, I might just have to book another half hour if I wanted to. You would never guess that from my reviews though.

I'm a non GFE seeking client, I'm just there to hit and go. Really I'm out the door, before the 30mins is over. Only 60min sessions I do set are with providers I know, and enjoy being with.

Plus when I go to see a provider I'm already at full attention....so 10 to 15mins of straight sex...gets me off.

for non-GFE stuff. Personally don't feel comfortable doing full-service and non-GFE with someone I haven't seen before...so I don't do that... but you can squeeze it in...

But 15 minutes?

Because that's what he wants.

But at the end of the day we all want to be pleased.

"15 minutes"  ??

takes me that long to remove my pants

for the first session.  After that she went up to 30 minutes, then an hour, then two, and finally overnights.

She was very cautious.  I'm glad I did it because I really liked her and we got along very well.  She even mentioned me in her memoirs.

with time & distance obligations along with fiscal realities; a Half hour/Half price "Quickie" is a MUCH appreciated offering.

every single time, especially when they have a regular who has an iincall right down the street lol. I would never offer fs for a half hour, but I do have a massage and bj rate. It's a win/win. I save my vagina, they save money, still get off and they don't have to listen to me yap for an hour lol.
