gained experience in the P4P world, I have found that I enjoy 2-hr. (or longer) dates if I have chemistry with the lady.

I still enjoy 1-hr. dates when I am meeting someone new or if I am absolutely pressed for time and can only be "away" for the 1 hour.

I prefer 2 hours, or more!

1 hour is rushed when meeting someone for the 1st time.  Chemistry does not happen instantly.  

Brunch, lunch, &/or dinner dates are my ATF because you really get to know a person by conversing over a fine meal.

I go for 2 hours,

it takes me 1 hr and 59 min to get hard and 1 min to pop.

I am not speaking in absolutes here, so no one get all butt hurt, but the MAJORITY through 10 years of research has revealed this...

1. Most guys who ONLY book hourly appts. are the hardest to please, want the most for their buck, and grade the hardest in reviews...they are also the ones who need a lesson in hygiene. I said MOST.

2. Most hourly guys are self entitled and treat us like shit...save a few of the older guy on TER who obviously do not act that way...take a look at guybeingaguy's posts in a thread below, and you have the attitude displayed by the hourly and half hour guys.

3. Hourly guys 'rarely' tip or buy gifts, not that it's expected, but it is an observation.

4. Guys who book multi-hour dates are more relaxed, take time to actually TALK to a provider, will take her to dinner on the clock, and don't expect to go over time, because they were smart enough to book enough of it to begin with!

5. From my observations, and all women will have different experiences, guys who spend the MOST expect the least. The most trashy reviews are always by guys who are cheap and cruise BP for the bargain girls, then expect her to entertain in a 5 star hotel, and serve them like a slave.

I have been in EVERY price point, every market, have ran an agency, and screened for women of all price points and time minimums as well. Take a look at my reviews from 2008-2010...that's when I offered an hour. Look how many complaints I got compared to 2011-2013 when I upped my rate and time min. The difference is CLEAR. Keep in mind, I changed NOTHING about my services or incall locations, nor did I look any better. In fact, I looked better back then but my scores in looks are higher NOW.  I had the same incall options, same driver service, and offered the same type of date experience from day one, including expensive wine and champagne, cooking, etc. but it was not appreciated all that much by guys only looking for a perfect 10 and someone who was 100 pounds to let them run the gambit of positions like a fkin monkey.  

If you read the boards long enough, there is a clear mentality displayed from guys who are bottom feeders vs. those who are into the entire date. Guys who think it's gross to kiss and go down on hookers, are the very guys who don't spend money. Guys who spend more money, seem to also care about her enjoyment or they could easily find someone for a hundred bucks to get the job done. I have never worked harder as an escort, than I did when I charged by the hour. My average dinner date of 4 hours, is usually 2 pops from the guy...hourly guys expect that EVERY damn time in 60 min.  

Now, not many women are going to come here and bitch about their hourly clients when they charge by the hour lol, or they would lose business, so do keep that in mind.  

Does that answer your question? LOL.

I cant meet someone, chat a bit to get to know her and be comfortable, and then get an idea of how compatible we'll be sexually in an hour. I really can't do it in two hours. In two hours I can at least tell if I really want to see her again.  

If that goes well, then I'll go three hours for the second "date" and see how that goes. If that goes well, then I'll do three or four for the next, as that's when we're both comfortable (or should be) with each other, and the fun really begins.

I was like that in "civvie" life, too. Sex on the first date was never good or at least as good as it was after a few dates.

I've had clients where they should've booked 2 hours because time flew by so fast with them while some appointments I have we still get along well but anything longer than an hour is a bit drawn out.  

Normally, if a new client ever requests an appointment longer than 2 hours, I only let them book two hours max. I worry that he may be bored for so many hours if he ends up not liking me.

I agree with LONDON and have a few points to add.....

1. If you read my website you will see that I PREFER to see NEW clients for at least 2 hours. The reason being is that I pride myself on the service that I give and prefer to have a true and genuine expereince.

2. If you look at my review scores, MORE OFTEN than NOT, the gentleman that i had 2 or more hour dates score me as 9 & 10 and the 1 hour dates are ranged from 7-9 usually. Why is that the same case over and over again?? As London said previously it is often the guys booking the 1 hour date expecting the 5 star experience but with no time to get to know each other at all?

3. Now granted I like to believe that I give the same service no matter what...but sadly it's not possible. If I have the time to sit and talk with you and get to know your likes and dislikes and a feel of who you are and what you like..then I'm going to perform better...especially if we have the TIME to do so!

4. Now that being said after I have had this expereince with clients I have had them book dates that were less than 2 hours but half the time I already know what they like, or they are just in a rush that day and want to be pleased like only I know how =)

Don't get me wrong...I have had great dates that were less than 2 hours, sometimes chemistry is just there and it can ignite true passion in you (those are the best) but let's be real...it takes time to REALLY know how to PLEASE your lover =)

So my advice is to look at the advice the PROVIDERS are giving you..We are basically telling you what you can expect so... definately book at least 2 hours with a provider that you haven't met!

xoxoxo

......going by. I have more than enough time to enjoy the moment, with plenty of talk and foreplay. One hour meetings are always hurried for me, like I am going to miss out on something, or it just flies by and ends abruptly. I would love to see what a three hour date is like, and hope to do one soon.

I used to, though. I only see two clients who originally booked me for 1-hour time slots. One is just really nice and very attached to me...the other one started with a 1-hour date but then booked longer dates after that short first one. Both are exceptions to the general rule. Most 1-hour clients will never book anything else. They think that they pay for the hour, and everything else should be free (including cuddle time and even post-coital massage). Their attitude is that they pay for SEX, and generally, as London pointed out...they will work you like a team of oxen. Yes.

Advertising at a higher minimum, my most popular dates are 3-hour, 4-hour, and 6-8 hours. When I advertised 1-hours, I generally did 1 or 2 hour dates with very few exceptions...many guys wanted 3 hours, but didn't want to pay (lol).  

Men who book longer dates tend to look at the date as a special occasion. They want to stay in a nice hotel, enjoy great food and wine, listen to exceptional music, maybe go to theater, have a great conversation, and yes, enjoy amazing sex as well as gratis touches like a luxe toy chest and a non-perfunctory massage They want to chat beforehand about common interests - music, literature, and travel are things I frequently discuss with clients in emails,  before the date. They really want to indulge themselves...but also, they want to savor the experience as a whole, and not just the sex.

With that said, I don't look at a 2-hour date as much different than a 1-hour...usually it's pretty much the same kind of appointment. Maybe a bit more time to chat...actually, a lot of guys who used to book 2-hour wanted two pops, or took a long time cumming. Only occasionally did they book that particular date because they wanted to build some chemistry.

I'd think of doing 1-hours again...only because I did meet some great clients that way. I'd hate to think that I'd have missed out meeting a really nice guy who was tentative about going longer on a first date. But, you can't please everybody, I guess.

One hour does feel rushed, and if can not get off twice in one hour, but in two hours I can usually do so.

Plus most gals structure their rates to make two hours more affordable.  

I enjoy the company and conversation about as much as the sex with many gals I see.

I made a rule with myself that when I see a lady for the first time it's a one hour date. I've been with ladies for the first time for 2 hours and kind of regretted it, because we didn't hit it off on a personal level or she wasn't as advertised. Ever since I made that rule with myself I've wished I'd booked longer with first dates. I suspect that I'm getting better at choosing providers for myself, everyone's tastes and expectations are different. So, my preference is 2 or more hours, more play time and a more relaxed date.

While it is certainly possible to hit it off well on a 1 hr date for the first time, 1.5 -2 hr dates for me are the bee's knees in terms of pacing. It just allows the date to unfold organically and leisurely ; however,  It does not matter if the date is 1 or 2 -chemistry is chemistry

In most cases, the latter. I'm not seeing my providers to be my girl friend.

My first thought in this was that it seemed silly to drop a bunch of money on someone if never met or even seen in real life. The risk of a dud just seemed to big. But then thinking about it, my experiences with the one hour were lacking. Also, I think that ladies that are more amenable to multi-hour appointments are probably more into what I am looking for. "Pops" are nice, but much more fun in the context of getting to know someone. At least for me. I'm definitely not looking for a girlfriend, but I certainly am not there just to do the deed and leave.  Nothing against that, and it might be ok with someone I was familiar with, but it has been to hard to get into it for one hour.  
This discussion has made me think I should up it to 3+ hours, but I suppose I should not get carried away.!
Thanks for all the advice.

I like to take a shower first, then chat for a bit. Gives you enough time for a couple rounds and chit chat in between. One hour is too rushed. Sometimes I will go for one hour if I'm seeing an agency girl or someone with not many reviews for the first time. I've had times where I booked two hours and wish I didn't, left early at 1.5 hrs.

I booked my guy a four hour dinner date for his first time. He liked making a connection on a personal level and found the physical play more enjoyable for it. This is about fantasy and I wanted the whole package for him. That said, I spent A LOT of time researching. I took everything you guys have taught me and applied it. Didn't worry about price, instead paid attention to chemistry and sexual appeal. When the provider was booked I was confident our choice was a good one.  It was a very good date.

I really do not care or want to work that hard to pop twice.

If there were a 50 minute session, that would be better.

Depends on my mood but I'm usually too busy for 2 hours.

I am in. But, haven’t found anyone yet. All want to lay around and talk and get know each other. For what?

On a second meeting I sometimes do longer.

transaction.

we want sex, they want money for it.

A Relative Newbie buy my experience has been multi hour..

I'm a relative newbie but I've never booked less than 90 minutes and that was when I lost my "cherry".  For me, it's both.  Obviously I wouldn't be there without the shared fun time but I find that I really enjoy the conversation and getting to know the young lady with whom I'm visiting.  I've found them all to be intriguing, interesting, and of of course very friendly.  

All of my visits since that first one have been for 2 hours even with a new friend.  They have been very fun, engaging, educational, and naturally come with a certain amount of physical exercise.  Have I been lucky and not had a bad experience?  Certainly to some degree that is true and I may someday have not as fun experience, but so goes life.  It doesn't always work out the way you plan it.  

I'm very thankful for the information available through sites such as this which make me capable of making a well informed decision regarding who I choose to see and hopefully who agree to see me.  So far I'm batting 1.000 or a little better than David Ortiz in this World Series!  

I've never been a slam, bam, thank you m'am and out the door guy anyway.  Not even back in my "glory years" as a college student.  It seems to me that the ladies are more relaxed with a planned multi-hour and appreciate a gentleman being a gentleman.  The 2 hours shows a commitment to the lady that you are willing to invest the time to get them know them too.  I think a couple of the ladies have done a good job in this thread sharing those same opinions.  

I hope to continue my streak and have my first 3 hour visit later this week.  This is with a new lady that I reached out to after having spent considerable time on TER doing research.  I believe that my research and the multi hour engagement will prove to be well worth the time and effort.  

I know that I will certainly have to tune in to see what London has say!  She's definitely helping me get a couple of laughs reading through the GD board

1 hour dates are 60 minutes.
2 hour dates are 120 minutes.

1 hour dates cost less
2 hour dates cost more

Hope this helps.

I've been hobbying just under 9 months and I have yet to take an hour. I hate the rushed feeling. Its like some of the gals here say...sometimes it takes a while to get comfortable before the festivities begin. The way I see it..a provider is a provider. Either you can make her feel like a provider...or you can make her feel like like a person, by taking the time to get to know her a bit. Not just the superficial banter I'm sure goes on, but to really get to know her and she gets that you really do want to know her. The gals are sharp enough to know if you're laying it on or you really are sincere in your conversation. She's not just a sex object. Not only does it enrich the session and make it better than just a quick lay...though I know that is exactly what some are looking for. Nothing wrong with that, I just don't happen to roll like that.  

I've also done the longer dinner dates plus session...with sufficient time for digestion.  I've also been fortunate to actually have met  providers where we can just hang out. Off the clock. I know the deal. If they're cool enough to be open to hanging out..having a dinner date or catching a movie or just hanging out...off the clock...I know not to play the game with them of trying to get them in the sack afterwards. I appreciate the fact that they're actually open enough to being friends outside the business and I don't push my luck. It makes future sessions even better because with those...I know its not just about money..so it makes me wanting to have future sessions even more likely, with them knowing that they are pretty much guaranteed a multiple hour session. You give a little you get a little.  

I know it goes contrary to what a lot of providers believe, but neither I nor the providers who have actually become good friends and still provide have found a happy medium.  I mean...if a gal is off the clock...nothing scheduled...why the hell not hang out with someone she actually is cool with. I may not even be in the mood for playtime, but I might be up for hanging out with a great gal. Believe me...I'll eventually get in the mood on some other day.  

I know for a lot of providers and clients as well..its just business...and thats cool...it is what it is,.but its one thing to say the person is a cool person...its another thing when that cool person says..you know what...you're really cool...I wouldn't mind hanging with you sometime...and they actually mean it. Now THAT's a cool person.

or presents... (-:

But honestly.. either amount of time, which is preferable depends on the man I'm spending time with- what he is like.   What our time together is like.  I've enjoyed a man but felt one hour was all I really wanted to spend with him becuz of his style and how we inter-relate.  other men I could spend a weekend with and want more.    
Either time amount can be enjoyable or an experience not worth reliving for any amount of money.

Of course the fun men who buy either amount and add extras on top of it all...  
ARE MY FAVORITES... xx

I think it is great that there were actually some real, thoughtful responses to this question.

I absolutely understand why London and Tina take the position that they take -- any service is better when it is well thought out and prepared for...the first half hour of a two hour session is prep time for the "awesome" time to follow.

BUT, many, many providers don't have rates that really reflect that they prefer longer appointments.  The simple fact is that most providers charge quite a bit more per hour than top-of-the-line lawyers and money doesn't grow on trees.  Hobbyists have limited resources and $350+ per hour is, in itself, a daunting number for most hobbyists.  If providers really need 90 minutes or two hours to be at their best, or to give service that they are proud of, then their multi-hour rates would reflect this.  But they don't -- most 90 min or 2 hour rates are only a modest discount (notice, London, that I said "most") from the hourly rate.  If multi-hour is the best for providers, then that rate might best be set at a great price -- from the provider prospective is $400 an hour better, or is $550 or $600 for two hours better?  Pricing structures for most women indicate the one hour is better.

The conclusion that I have drawn is to go for the hour in a first appointment (and treat the lady well with interest in her needs and a small gift) and save any excess hobbying funds for extra time with ladies that I hit it off with.  Interestingly, my three worst appointments ever were all 90 minutes or two hours.  That extra $700 is money I could use now to have a "rushed" hour with a top-100 lady or two hours with either of my ATFs.

I'm with HH -- one hour for first dates, then extend, or rebook, or find another playmate.

One hour dates go by toooo quick...and it can feel like a wham bam type of date.
(okay for those who are into the who wham bam thing) or Okay for those who are on a time/budget crunch.

two hour date....allows for.....more exploring of each other and simply more time to get to know and ENJOY your date. And sometimes a 2hour date tends to run longer. Especially if two parties have a *connection*.

Some of the best lovers are the lovers whom I've explored and enjoyed in 2 hours or longer.....
