I learnt the hard way not to listen to any of your favourite songs. I've ruined them forever! Relaxed and inoffensive is your best bet. I have different ones depending on their age group. A few well chosen hits from their youth seems to always go down well, and often prompts a story of recollection. I'm all for keeping them talking

I have a couple of them! Son of a Preacher Man is my half hour marker song

I've never used playlists as timers. When incall I played whatever I fancied, sometimes clients would make requests, or if I knew such and such liked a particular artist or style I'd put that on.

When outcall which is the majority of my current business,  things are a little different. I do have a regular who likes me to bring music, so I've bought a little tin box speaker which I can attach my ipod to which fits easily into my bag. Most of my bookings don't have anything in the background, sometimes client's music or TV. Once I got used to it I've been fine with nothing in the background, in fact I quite like it.

If he wants a shower then I'll generally start it when he gets out. In appreciation for his hygiene!

I do that . I start it just as I go to answer the door so there's something on when they come in, and I time my marker songs to start pretty much with the half hour, hour, 90 minutes etc. It means that by the time each comes to the end it's 3-5 minutes after and I know they should be about ready to go (or at least in the shower) by the time the next song starts; I think my 30 minute one ends 2 minutes over, the 1 hour one 4 minutes over and the 2 hour is 7 and a half minutes (because it's LA Woman by the Doors and goes on for ages ).

It does mean it's roughly 30 seconds to a minute in when they actually get in the room, but thats why I leave the wiggle room at the end. And it's really so that I'm aware of the time rather than a reason to be finishing dead on; I work mostly office hours and a lot of punters have somewhere they need to be so can't afford to lose track.

Two I've recently added to my playlist:
Ciara - Paint it Black
The Weekend - Wicked Games

Both of them are really horny.

If I'm doing incalls I always have music playing, or the TV on. I tell clients "it's to cover the sound of me getting noisy". Sometimes that is the truth!
