I always scedule dates for three hours or more. Partly because this lets us get to know each other, party because I sometimes get lost in DATY for an hour but mostly because at my age it takes a long time. My question, about what % of your dates are for 1 hour, what % are three or so hours and what % are overnights? Finally what length of time do you prefer?

I find that about 70% of my appointments are 2 hour dates.  And maybe 5% are longer than that.  I no longer am available for overnights but I did about 1 a month when I offered it.  I prefer the 2 hour dates especially when it's with a new client.  It really helps me to get more comfortable and that is always a good thing.

2 hours or more. I hate to rush xoxo Devin Taylor

For myself about 70% is two hour appointments, 20% are one hour appointments and 10% is longer than two hours.  But that is based upon first time appointments.  I prefer 2 hours for the first appointment as that gives us time to get into the right groove~

After the first appointment, I would say about 5% is for one hour, 40% is for more than 2 hours and 55% is for two hours.

Approx. 50% 1 hour engagements, 40% 90 minute engagements 10% longer than 90----my preference in the 90 minute -- to two hours--allows for plenty of time for all arenas (mind, body, and soul) to be stimulated into a meaningful interlude.

Interesting topic. I would have to say my 1 hour dates nly make up less that 5% of my business.

On the flip side of that I am not as busy as alot of the ladies, particularly in Vegas. The appointments I do get usually run 2 hours or more. I like to couple that with drinks or dinner beforehand, and we use that time getting to know one another.

On a recent tour to Chicago and DC I had 1 appoitnment for an hour and the rest were 3 hours+. One lady in Chi Town asked me how I managed to book those kinds of appointments and I told her I really had no idea...LOL. Thats just the way it usually works out.


Overnights are my favorites if I have really gotten to know the gent thru email or phone calls or if we have had the pleasure of each others company before. This way we can really relax and just go about our time together. There have been times my gents have been the clock watchers...fearing that the time we spend just enjoying one anothers comapny by chatting ect. that perhaps they are taking advantage of me and my time. Those are usually the ones I don't want to leave *smiles*

It is fascinating to see what the percentages are, but truly it changes from year to year and with the climate of the hobby. I have been very fortunate and I hope I continue to be.

Lass or anyone inclined to chime in.

That raises a question I had in my mind.  As a newbie to this hobby, I've only been with one provider thus far.  It was a great experience and our time went over the planned time.  After a while I started to feel uncomfortable with the thought that I was now infringing on her personal time.  Even though I thoroghly enjoyed the "after glow" chat, I felt the need to make a more accelerated exit so that I didn't place her in a position of having to ask me to leave.  What is the proper etiquette for the blurring of the boundary between contracted time and extra time?

I'm not a provider, but those I have been with for the most part have been generous with their time, more than what we "contracted" for in many cases.  And I have had the same dilemma you describe, and I've been at this hobby for a very long time.  

The only answer I can offer, and again I'm not a provider, is that if we are over time, and the provider begins to get dressed or in some other way look like she's preparing for another activity of any sort, I know it's that time.  I hope alot of providers respond to your post.

This is a tough one. Because it really depends on the lady you are with.

I have had many a gent feel compelled to jump up after our time was over as to not infringe on my time, and I have pulled them close to me and told them to relax.

As a gentleman you must always be respectful of the ladies time. So many of us are generous with our "hours". My hours do not consist of 60 minutes. I add in chit chat and cuddle and gentle goodbyes. This is not to say If you book an hour I will stay two. Some have totally taken advantage that way. Those are the ones I will not entertain again.

When your time is done and you have wrapped her in your arms and you are enjoying small talk, look to the clock and see how your time is doing. Gently remind her that you have only allotted yourself so much time to be with her and that time has come and gone. You may be surprised that some ladies will let you hold them a bit longer. Others will appreciate the reminder because they may have other commitments. This is a sign that you have a healthy respect for her as a business woman and as a lover.

50/50 with me it depend on a lot of things. Mainly it's how i plan my schedule from month to month. (in/out) Is it possible to know exactly what % is spend where? I don't think so!! Business could be great for some provider and bad for other. I do not do overnight stay and I don't have a % in that area. It depend on the local and the traveler but either or Once again it's 50/50 for me.

Thanx for the replies.
Most of it seems to be common sense.  But, even after reading your answers, it still appears that this will be one of those issues that one always has to work out "on the fly" with every new provider.
Thank you again.

My time is 2 or more hours. Rushing is a very rude thing to do. I like to get to know the person.
