I've seen providers that offer half-hour sessions, but never go that route because I hate keeping track of time.  Sometimes even an hour is too short.  

This is a purely indulgent activity for me, so I don't really view it in terms of value, affordability, etc.

... but that's just me.  I'm sure others are different, but I really do not like to rush anything *especially* an intimate encounter. Even an hour can be too short, I like to get to know the person I'm with or catch up on things with a provider I see regularly.  Also, without a proper warm-up (e.g. foreplay), my time & release aren't nearly as satisfying.

*shrugs*  To each their own.

Christ, it takes me that long to get my shoes off. Actually, I've never even had a one hour date. It's just not enough time for me. I don't get to play as much as I'd like, so when I do, I prefer longer dates.

An your seems too rushed.  90 minutes gives you time to explore and get to know the lady better.  Often pays off in the service.

Well, let's see. How do I answer this? Well, not counting the hours of research, there's the hygiene routine (.5-1.0 hrs.), travel to appointment (.5-1.5 hrs.), and I like to be squeaky clean for the lady, so I take a shower on arrival (5-10 mins, and hopefully along with her). Skipping, for now the play time, then there's the time to soak it all in and recuperate (10-20 mins. minimum), and a shower to flesh in up (5-mins.), and the drive home (.5-1.5 mins). So, with all that time invested off the clock (approximately 3-5 hours, and that's not even including time just to talk). Do you think a half hour will balance out my effort? The answer, at least for me, is no!

I like at least an hour. If the lady offers 90 minutes, I go with that. Want to get the most out of my trip.

In fact, I rarely do hours.  I prefer 2 hour or longer appointments.

I have nothing against ladies that offer half hours but I would probably not see one since I would be worried about volume like that drawing too much attention at the in call.  

Before everyone jumps on me please realize I understand that doing 30 minute appointments is not always an indicator of a high-volume lady.  It is however a red flag for me and, until I get to know a lady, it's reason enough to pass on some one.  If I am booking a lady for an out call all of the above is much less of a factor since I am controlling the venue.

I never do half hour dates, just not long enough.  Maybe young "cowboys" practicing "quick draw"...  oh, that was me, 30+ years ago.  

To me GFE needs an hour minimum...  1.5 to 2 hours are better.  Rate structures seem to favor single hours...  a pity.  I'd like to see rates that encourage 1.5 to 2 hours.

I prefer 2 hour meetings though 90 minutes may be all right.  n hour is too short to enjoy the meeting and I can't imagine a half hour meeting.

Nut, just because a provider will see someone for a half hour doesn't really affect me.

but if we've meet and bumped nasties already, and she's cool with a cum-n-go, drive by sodomizing that leaves a few sheckles left in my pocket I'm all over the 1/2 hour quickie.

I'll take a Half Hour over an Hour every day. And I prefer

that she's naked and rubbing her ears with her knees when I get there.  I can always talk, and sometimes listen, when I'm putting my clothes back on.

Don't get me wrong ladies. I'm happy to have conversations with you on the boards, through email, and even sometimes on the phone; but when I'm there, I'm only interested in body language.

While I respect other's points of view on this, for me I would never see anyone for less than 2 hours. Maybe it's because of my age (50's), but when I first meet someone, I book 2 hours so that I can take my time and get to know them. Once I get to know them better, I want to spend time catching up etc, so I usually book 3 hours. I've been very fortunate in that the providers that I've spent time with are women that I've ended up feeling very close to, so that it's not just about the sex for me (although the sex is great too!) I get to have my cake and eat it too! Again, just my opinion.

Although I usually do nothing but 2hr or more...for shits and giggles....

I tried a 1/2 hr car date!  Actually was a good time.  I already knew the provider, so we just met, hopped in her back seat, and I got a hell of a nice BBBJ, a wetnap, and a smile!

It takes a while to do a thorough inspection.

I personally see half hour appointments as "next in line", which totally kills the vibe for me, even more if it's advertised as special. 1 hour is for me the minimum, with best option being 90 mn, which I rarely see being offered. 2 hours is great if you can afford not only the money but the time. For me, 90 mn normally marks the time limit so even if I can afford the money 2 h is normally not an option for me.
From a providers point of view I wonder if having 90 mn appt available would make you think you may lose 2 h ones, but from a client perspective I wonder if it would balance out by some 1h ones choosing this option.

One hour because it takes that long.

I have some very particular interests. Nothing unusual or exotic, mind you, but difficult to ascertain if a lady offers them from her reviews. Appropriately, I would never discuss "acts" with a provider when contacting her for the first time. An initial half hour visit allows us to meet, get a feel for compatablility, and for me to see if she would be up for what I enjoy -- without us both wasting our times, and me wasting by money. In the event that things go well, I can always ask if extending the session is a possibility.
