Dealing with high volume days
« on: 16 October 2011, 01:37:01 am »
So far the hardest thing I have working in a parour has been high volume days.  Going from my non working life where I would only sleep with one guy during a night to now when it can be in double figures has been hard to get my head around.  Any tips?

No tips I'm afraid, but thanks for the laugh, its a problem many of the independent girls would love to have.

Most I ever did was 9 in the one day but that was years ago, best advice, suck it up and get on with it, thats what every else usually has to do if it happens !

Well, the thing is, brothel work is a bit of a beast. It's usually 10-20 clients a day at ?60 (or less) half hours - and you're only keeping ?40 because of the necessary commission paid to keep the brothel running. It is a much more secure environment, and they should provide a nice and clean flat, so in this circumstance I do feel that the commission is fair (unlike agencies where they often don't take security of the girls seriously, or provide an incall/driver/anything, etc). But it's still a bit wearing when every client still wants his 110% effort from you and there's just SO MANY of them.

I shouldn't really admit this (!) but I worked a grand total of 4 shifts in a fancy South Kensington establishment, about two years ago, and just couldn't hack it. It was 4 Fridays, so it's not like I didn't have recovery time, but I found that I was wanting to stop being touched by strangers after about four or six of them but unfortunately that's only 3 hours work and you've got to stay there for 10 hours else you'll just get replaced (I do understand that the owners have absolutely no need for girls who can only manage 4 clients maximum!). So yes, after seeing 15 in one day and feeling utterly broken (it's just upsetting to not be able to choose exactly who you're shagging and when you're shagging them, for me - I'm a born independent!), I couldn't go back. Not when I can earn the same amount seeing two or three clients in a week independently - and it's much more relaxing and fun for me being in charge of who I see.

Sorry, OP, I know that's not much help. I think we all know the advantages to brothel work - safe, not working from home, not having to advertise or answer the phone, etc - but there is a huge downside: the volume required/expected.

If you're happy to lose the earnings, you could try asking the manager/owner for shorter shifts? They may still expect you to pay a full commission amount, though, which would be tricky. Or you could perhaps share shifts (half each) with another girl who doesn't like being shagged more than eight times in a row?

You could even put together a bit of a routine for the standard bookings, which enables you to stay energetic, perky and fun throughout the day - so the clients still have a good time - but not spend any energy having to think too much about what to do. You'll probably already have a routine, though, so maybe just develop it so that every 30-minute job goes like x-y-z-done-yay! and the time flies and you can of course chat to clients and tailor their experience for them, but mostly they do just want a rather standard thing (to be honest, it's really hard to do much else in such a brief time!) and having an almost automatic thing can help you conserve energy throughout the day. Not being robotic, of course - still plenty of room for chatting and sharing jokes and doing the GFE thing - but just making sure 90% of short bookings run really smoothly.

Also, I'm not completely sure whether you wanted tips regarding... the psychological aspect? (If so, it may be that being able to take charge of your working hours a little could help; feeling like you "have" to see dozens of clients in a day is horrid, while choosing to see 'only' ten a day could actually feel much better, because it's your decision.) Or is it being physically knackered? (It's hard to eat during a workday in a brothel, for the obvious reasons of stress and perpetual condom-taste, but you must try to get some good quality nutrition for energy if you can. It may sound shocking and sacrilegious, but a whole milk latte gives much more energy and satiety than silly 'skinny' drinks, if anyone's going to the coffee shop for you! And if you can keep some honey in the kitchen, stirring that in will give you some simple-and-good sugary energy on top. Foodwise, anything you can nom in two seconds between showers and blowjobs is essential - high protein stuff will provide more lasting fullness and energy, here.)

Or if it's neither of those things that's bothering you, just let us know what is and we can try to help. :)

Another tip is be really clear in your own mind about what you will/won't do with clients, when I worked at a brothel, there were girls there who provided services that I did not, but certain clients would push and push boundaries relentlessly, and sometimes I gave in (you're constantly being compared to other girls, ie 'so and so does xyz, why don't you?' etc)
I didn't find this site until I went indie, so was pretty clueless and naive, and the less pleasant clients seemed to latch onto that, and the only advice I ever got from the owner was 'get them in and out quickly' ::)  She did maintain that I didn't have to do anything I didn't want to, but I was aware that if I kept turning clients down, I would probably be replaced.
Oh, and I paid ?30 out of ?60 to the house, ?25 per day towards the maid's wage!
Let go of my ears! I know what I'm doing!

Seeing what Emily has written I know for sure I couldn't work in a brothel the conveyer belt sounds like my worst nightmare.......not just the high volume (most I've ever seen is 4 in a day and thats a strech - in part due to my USP - I can't give a good service which includes that if I see more).

I couldn't stand not bieng in charge of my own bookings etc, or my own safety, or NOT being able to choose who I saw.  I' m very independent in alll ways including my working life.

I know thats not much help to you Bells, sorry, its just seeing in black and white (I had been looking into it) makes me realise its not for me.

From a practical/physical POV (partly because I'm not sure from your post exactly what it is you're having trouble with), I would think about trying non-latex condoms - even if you're not sensitive to latex, ordinary ones will make you sore a lot more quickly. I don't get into double figures nowadays because I don't do short appointments, but seven or eight a day is far from unknown when I'm working away and even before I realised I'd developed a bona fide latex allergy, the constant friction from these on a busy day used to leave me red raw - take your own with you and don't forget to take the remainder with you when you go or they'll soon disappear.

I would echo the importance of eating regularly as well - bananas are good (and you don't have to do anything much to them which takes up time). I'm guessing it's the physical aspect which is causing more problems - I actually used to find doing a lot of shorter bookings far less mentally tiring because you don't really have time to engage with the other person, and at least if somebody was a bit of a pain they were only going to be there for half an hour or so and then you could forget about them and somebody else would turn up.

I can't really add much to what Enily said (very useful post) but for a few points:

DON'T use energy drinks to keep you going throughout the day. I used to work at a high-volume parlour and to keep me going would often power through about 5 sugar- free Red Bulls every time I worked a shift. Bad move. By the end of the day I'd be jumpy and on edge, with shaky hands and an inability to sleep until 5 the next morning although being both physically and emotionally drained. Make sure you take some slow-releasing energy snacks with you to munch on throughout the day; my favourite was sultanas.

Watch what lube you use. Having to constantly reapply throughout the day can have ill effects upon one's ladybits. Agh D:

Make an effort with the girls you work with. The day flies by if you have a friendly face to chat / vent about not-so-nice clients with during gaps between bookings. I'd personally rate this as THE most important way to stay happy and sane in busy parlours. Some of the girls I worked with I now count as amongst my best friends and I couldn't have got through shifts without them :)

Thanks for all the advice. If I am honest I am not really sure how much the issue is physical and how much mental.  After a busy shift I feel far less myself, but then I am tired and irritable which could be why.  I know when I am tired I am more emotional.

Getting some decent food in is worth a try then, it could well be largely a lack of energy and that's pretty easy to fix. Bananas, smoothies, energy/cereal bars and trail mix are good quick snacks. Make sure you're eating stuff that'll stick with you (cereal bars and nuts if you don't have time for a sandwich), not just easily accessible sugar.

No amount of money is worth your mental health. If it ever gets too much then please make sure you take a step back and take a break from the scene. It takes a VERY well-adjusted and emotionally strong person to see large amounts of clients over a long time-frame and personally speaking wouldn't recommend it at all xo

Your right Kitty re our mental health especially if parlours or whatever they are called is taking up to 50% of the girls money.  They dont give two flying fucks how the girls are, they just want the guys in the door and the money in their tills.  :'(

I just wouldn't work in a brothel or massage parlour or anything like that. I worked for an agency (albeit briefly) when I got into this job but when I went independent I decided I didn't want to go back and rightly so. Sure it was a bit a slow start but gradually it's gotten better and better for me.
   You don't have to have to have a lot of customers, you shouldn't have to. If you want less clients but have them for longer that might make you feel better about the job and what you do and how you do it.

Otherwise you'll just get more and more fed up and more and more bored.

Get out whilst you can and find a way to do it that makes you happy!

I definately think I have been burning the candle at both ends a bit too much.  With a full time job + my studys on top I have pushing myself a bit.  I get on ok with most of the other girls, (in fact one has asked me out), though there is a bit of a language barrier with some.  I like the fact its not my house but I have somewhere to go.  Not sure if it is just being run down but I have been more emotional and have found the busy shifts harder. I have started to owo just because the condom taste was wearing a bit thin on me at the moment.  Its funny sometimes after a busy shift I thing Oo iam a naughty girl (in a good way) but other times it rocks myself opinion. Perhaps part of me still needs to come to terms with the fact I am a whore as it happened so quickly.
