I've been in this hobby for well over 11 years now. Maybe that doesn't make me an elder statesman, but I guess I'm not a newbie either. I remember well what I consider to be the "golden years" of this business, with long-since-departed SPs like Kisha at Swedish Touch (my angel from heaven), everybody's favourite Monique (Fantasy, Penthouse, etc.) and others who really seemed to care about their clients and the experience a guy had once the door closed on an MP room. There's a lot of new talent out there these days, but unfortunately the quality seems to be going down in terms of service. We've all seen firsthand accounts of this written on this board.
So, in the interests of keeping what I consider to be the world's most enjoyable hobby a pleasant experience for all concerned, may I humbly propose a short list of SP commandments:
1) DON'T COME TO WORK SICK. A huge one here. I recently had a session with a girl who started hacking and sneezing the moment she stepped in the room. (And no, it had nothing to do with my hygiene--I showered before I arrived and also before the session). The girl apologized several times for having a bad cold and sore throat, but not before she hacked all over her hands. Ladies, DON'T COME TO WORK SICK. This is an intimate business. SPs aren't working on transmissions or other inanimate objects, they are getting up-close-and-personal with another human being who just happens to be naked. No paying customer wants a girl coughing all over him or on her hands, which will end up touching strategic areas.
2) YOU MAY NOT DO GREEK (which is fine), BUT YOU SHOULD OFFER THE THREE STANDBYS: HJ, BJ, F/S. I realize everyone has their personal preferences, but things are getting ridiculous these days. I went into a studio a couple weeks ago, paid seven greens for a topless HJ only to be told by the SP that "I don't do HJs." Sorry, honey, you're in the wrong business. Someone who doesn't offer standard extras in this business? Come on. These three services are standard. Any other frills or unique services are up to the girl, but she should offer the three above or consider another line of work.
3) A BASIC COMPLETE INCLUDES A COMPLETE. This is not "All Ages Welcome" Massage, this is adult entertainment. For a girl to be tipped seven greens and then tell a client that only includes a back massage and nothing else is ludicrous. I remember only a few years ago when a HJ was the LEAST you could get--SPs practically insisted on it. Again, if you're not comfortable giving HJs, please change careers.
4) STICK TO POSTED HOURS OF OPERATION. I live northwest of Edmonton. One of my favourite studios is in the east end of town. I can't tell how my times I've called into a studio (you're on 118 Avenue, you know who you are) at, say, 8:30 to confirm hours and who is working, only to get there at 9:15 to find the place closed when I was told 11. Remember, this is a business. How well do you think RONA or Canadian Tire would do if store managers just decided on a whim to ignore posted hours and close at 7 or 6 or 3PM just because walk-in traffic was slow?
5)WHEN IT IS THAT TIME OF THE MONTH, REFER TO RULE #1. I sympathize with women, I can't imagine what that time of the month must be like (or pregnancy and labour, either). I am not criticizing anybody. But sorry, in this business you shouldn't be on the job if you aren't able to work. Take a couple of days off. Switch shifts with somebody. But nothing ticks off clients faster (and every SP who asks for "money up front" reminds us that this IS first and foremost a business) than a SP saying, "Oh, did you want f/s? Sorry, I can't. It's that time of the month."
6) IF YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO SEE A CLIENT, SAY SO. If a client comes in at 8:45 and you have an appointment at 9, DON'T try and cram a half-hour session into 15 minutes and rush him out the door. Guys who are paying hard-earned money HATE that.
7) DO CHANGE THE SHEETS BETWEEN CLIENTS. I mean, come on.
8) "TOPLESS" MEANS JUST THAT. This one's for you newbies. When a guy tips for a topless, that means French Riviera definition of topless--bare breasts and tan lines--not the Utah definition (taking off your blouse but keeping your bra on.)
9) DO NOT LEAVE THE ROOM MID-SESSION TO ANSWER THE DOOR AND GREET OTHER PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS. Your current client (the one lying face-down on the table in the altogether) hates that.
10) DON'T BE OFFENDED IF A CUSTOMER DOESN'T STAY OR ASKS TO MEET SOMEONE ELSE. I work in sales. I can't tell you how many customers I have shown products to who ultimately decide to "come back later" or "see what other stores are offering." To be sure, some stay and make a purchase. Others do not find what they are looking for and make a polite exit. That's the nature of business. If I didn't like that, I would get a different career. Ladies, not every client will be immediately attracted to you and decide to spend a significant sum of money for a session with you. That's the nature of the MP business. Not everybody is attracted to everyone else. I remember a couple of years back when I met a girl at the door and wasn't attracted to her. I made a very polite, respectful excuse about having to be somewhere, only to get a blast from her: "I have feelings too. You think you're better than me? You're judging me based on physical appearance? How DARE you?" Guess what, ladies. This IS about physical appearance and attraction. The whole point of this hobby is for clients to fulfill a fantasy about an intimate encounter with a woman they are attracted to but might not get to be with in the real world. If a client isn't attracted to a SP, why should he have to stay with her?
The response I have is this: If as an SP you aren't attracted enough to me that you would sleep with me for free if you met me in a bar, then you can't get upset if I'm not attracted enough to you to pay a significant sum of money for a session with you.
Overall, despite the hiccups, this hobby has brought a great deal of happiness to many men including myself. Here's to the SPs who are responsible for those great times.
