Have you thought of doing 45 minute bookings, KB? I don't do shorter ones than that apart from half hours when touring, and it's an ideal booking length for me along with 1 hour ones. Even when half hours are available I do very few, but I get asked for these far more often and it's good for those punters for whom 30 minutes is a bit rushed but a full hour would drag a bit. They suit me too

No i hadn't Amy, but that is a good idea. There isn't a slot for 45 minutes bookings on Adultwork but i could always make a note in bold at the top of my profile or create a tab announcing a new offer. I think i'm going to trial that and see how i get on when i've decided what to set the 'donation' to, definitely worth a try to see how much interest they generate x

I prefer hour bookings especially with new clients. I work for an agency and the minimum length of time offered is an hour. Anything over two hours I don't enjoy unless its a dinner date which breaks things up a bit

It depends on the client to a degree, but in general i would say an hour is my preference.

I think that is mainly to do with the money though to be honest, i don't like half hours that much because sometimes they feel like a lot of effort for a little money.

I have always charged ?100 for a half hour and ?130 for the hour although I have decided to now change my hourly rate to ?120 so as you can see my half hour rate is the top end expense wise but not much more for the hour.......

Rarely I get booked for a half hour obviously because I charge so much for it however I do still get the odd person book me for a half hour but it is rare.

I have a target each day of ?200 (2 clients basically) but my limit is to take 3 clients in a day so it makes good business sense to me to see 2 clients instead of 4+ clients hence my half hour rate being so expensive. I live and work from the same flat so it keeps the numbers down of men coming and going every day from my building/flat and also it keeps the numbers down of how many people I am having sex with as I would get sore after a while and by the time I take an hour+ inbetween to get myself showered, work room freshened up and my hair and make up done again, a large chunk of the day if not all of it is taken up.

Also if I was to see loads of guys a day, I know the level of standard in my service would not be on top form which isn't my intentions so I know what works for me and what doesn't.

So hourly bookings are definitely best for me. Some clients are only interested in half hour bookings but those clients don't tend to book me.

I like your method PP. I'd do that myself if i thought i could up my half hour rate without losing business. It's the area i'm in which prevents me doing this though unfortunately, as the average rate around here is lower than in the Cities and other towns i've seen. My half hour is 80 and my hour is 150 so naturally they tend to flock for the half hours and i get a lot more of them than i do hours. I've had some people tell me i'm charging "too much" for where i'm based so i dread to think what they'd say if i upped my half hour rates, small town punters mentalities x

I don't think it's anything to do with small town mentality, I live in Glasgow and my rates are always in question because I offer very vanilla service's. I don't know why my rates are always in question because if someone doesn't like what I charge or what I offer then they don't have to even give me as much as a second look nevermind book me as there are plenty more cheaper escorts and ones who offer more services.

The clients who accept my services list and particularly seek out a girl like me and what I offer are forever telling me I am worth much more than what I charge but those who have never met me or those who have met me but prefer the likes of OWO and CIM etc are the ones that seem to have a problem with what I charge and how I go about my business.

Point is, you'll never be able to please everyone so your aswell just sticking to whatever works for you.

Re people telling you your rates are too much - fuck them! If you're getting enough work, then your rates are clearly set at the right level for you and the services you offer. And if you're getting more offers than you can accept, up them. I think it's only worth lowering your rates if you're not getting enough work, regardless of the messages you get. Work that price sensitivity.

It depends largely on the client. If it's someone I get along well with, then whatever is longest is best as long as they can afford it. Otherwise, 2 hours are most preferred.

Funny you say that because I am very busy, as busy as I want to be and always meet my weekly target but I recently lowered my rates by ?10 for the hour as I was listening to guys moaning saying that because I don't offer OWO and only offer vanilla services that I wasn't worth what I was charging which eventually got to me.

At the moment I have a special offer on of ?100 for the hour because this is the only time of year that I notice things tend to quieten down for me with the kids being off school (in Scotland) and also as I have lots and lots if Muslim clients, it's Ramadan so rather than sit and not make my target, I lowered my rates. Lowering my rates or bidding on a reverse booking is on my terms and my choice to do so, I don't appreciate people haggling with me or telling me what I should be charging as it's none of their business and I wonder how they would like it if someone pulled their boss aside at work and told them that they were being paid too much and should be paid less. They wouldn't like it one bit. It's double standards of course.

I've done overnight bookings twice and I hated it, found myself having a little drink just to get through.

No I'm very much the 'come' and go. I offer half an hours and 2/3 go for this and for me it works well

I'll do hours but anymore than and they drain me!

That's what it's all about......doing what works best for you. We are all different and that's why we have profiles and why I think it's important to read the profile from a potential clients point of view x

I am always getting requests for half hours they annoy me, they're always like "but I don't have time for a half hour" and I'm like well you can leave early if you want, lol, and they just get quiet. It drives me a little crazy cause it's seriously mentioned in every section of my AW profile, plus if you look at my rates there is nothing there for a half hour. Yeah I know your game boys you just don't wanna have to spend! Half hours make me uncomfortable so I don't do them, but I also wouldn't want to be stuck with someone all night.

I like an hour or 1.5 unless it's a dinner date, then 3 hrs is fine because we're eating. But I mean it really depends, some clients I've clicked with-- I had a 3 hr booking with a guy and could've stayed longer cause we were having so much fun, just laughing and joking-- and I've had one hour bookings where I was literally watching the clock ten minutes in. It also depends how much they want, I mean I've had clients book 1.5 and they just want to cum once and then hangout and guys book an hour and expect to get fucked twice and then get their cock sucked in-between, never see the later again.

The longer the better

I offer everything from 15mins to overnight, but if I could just do overnights then I would

My last overnight went like this: he wasn't checking in til later so told me I could check in early and use the room - I saw two other clients. Then he arrived and gave me two sets of expensive lingerie he had bought me - squee! Then after I'd tried them on we went out for a couple of drinks and just chatted and got to know one another. Then he took me out for dinner - truly lovely meal. Then back to the hotel - a little bit of sexy fun, then sleep. In the morning - a little more sexy fun, then took me out for breakfast at the local Wetherspoons. Left with more money than I could've dreamed of a year ago. One of the best nights ever! So yes, the longer the better.

Whilst I do offer shorter bookings, I rarely accept the 15min ones and prefer 1hour average I guess (though I still get a ton of half hours).

That being said, one of my first bookings I ever did was 3 hours long and after 2 and a half hours of constant sex he decided he was too tired out and I'd, quote, "drained his balls dry" so he sent me off early. I wasn't sure if that was good or if the conversation (which was falling flat and awkward) wasn't interesting enough... So I guess longer bookings can be a problem too...

An hour is ideal for me. I tend to find that half hours mess up my day

Saucepot · « **Reply #27 on:** 29 June 2014, 05:09:23 pm »

Much prefer 1 hour bookings but I do have a regular roleplay client which is a 3 hour booking every time.

Cat. · « **Reply #28 on:** 29 June 2014, 09:13:47 pm »

Depends on the client.. sometimes I get 2/3 hours booking with some really sweet and respectful guys, most of the times we are just chatting and laughing.. time just flew by.. but sometimes they had vigara and just want to keep fucking which is horrible

I'd like half hours if I could get them one after the other, just bang, bang, bang. You know, one at 12, 1, 2, 3, and 4. With a half hour in between to rest, eat, shower. That would be more lucrative and easier on me mentally. But hour clients are easier to schedule in a way. Or, rather, if I'm only going to see three clients it would be better if they were all one hour or more.

I run out of charm with even the most lovely men after two hours.

im laughing as I couldn't agree more with some of this thanks x
