Right now? Or book in advance?

[Harmony-bc]

I'm just curious, on what percentage the pooning population is that books in advance, or wants a girl to be ready in 15 minutes. I'm usually a book in advance girl and rarely a last minute decision. So I thought I'd put up a poll. I know that some of you book a week or two in advance, and some of you want right now, and some of you book in advance sometimes and other times toft and go for right now. So for those of you that go by whim and book on the spur of the moment, but sometimes book days in advance, I made it multiple choice. The poll is also anonymous, so that nobody can tease each other.

When I worked in parlors, I always had to be ready at the drop of a hat and rush, rush, rush. So when I went independent, I think I rebelled against that [a lot], lol.

If she's not available within an hour of when I call, I call someone else. The Asian micros always have someone available, and I can never plan when I'm going to be horny!!

 

[Harmony-bc]

Thanks a lot guys for voting. So far, I've only missed out on one date, because of not being ready in half an hour, lol

I should have put an hour as an option.

You know what's funny, is I can't vote on my own poll, hahahaha I don't want to vote, so it doesn't matter. I just think that's funny.

To schedule or not to schedule—one pooner's perspective

I'm usually a book in advance girl and rarely a last minute decision....When I worked in parlors, I always had to be ready at the drop of a hat and rush, rush, rush. So when I went independent, I think I rebelled against that [a lot], lol.

Always love the interesting issues you raise, Harmony.

I can appreciate why an SP would want to give her job some semblance of predictability, by scheduling clients the way lawyers, doctors or realtors do.

But personally I had to vote for "1 1/2 hrs tops" in your poll (though of course there have been, and probably will be, exceptions). Speaking for myself, and possibly a non-negligible percentage of pooners:

1. I hate to deal with scheduling issues at the best of times. But especially when it comes to my sex life I like to go with mood, spontaneity, spur-of-the moment impulse as much as possible.

2. Different men obviously deal differently with their sexuality. All I can say is that my desires manifest themselves with some urgency when they do.

3. In fact, sometimes I plan to see an SP and, while scanning the ads on DL or wherever, I find myself sidetracked by updates on my favorite porn sites—and waste another load jerking off. I feel glad, in those cases, that I haven't yet made any appointment.

4. The fact that Indies require scheduling—and in some cases, complicate things even further by asking for SP references or review board handles—is a major reason I've gone only to AMPs & micros in the recent past. (I also prefer to go to places with more than one SP because, if one lady is unavailable or doesn't appeal upon face-to-face meeting, another might be able to take over the job right then and there.)

5. Scheduling an erotic encounter reminds me of a love doctor's advice to busy working couples I once read: that they should schedule a fixed time for lovemaking. But doing this would make it another item on my "to do" list, an appointment that has to be kept, an onerous commitment and possible cause for worry.

6. Stuff comes up. For example, I'll never forget making an appointment with enchanting Holly Taylor—but then, unexpectedly, finding myself with a semi-estranged girlfriend wanting to stay the night before the appointment.

She wanted to have sex at night and in the morning, but I wasn't keen on firing the ammunition I had saved for the $$$ encounter with Holly. The massive blowup we had didn't put me in the best mood for facing Holly a few hours later, but I went through with it...

BUT THAT WAS THE LAST APPOINTMENT I MADE.

I usually need at least 2 hours to get home, shower, or wake up, and eat, etc. I can occasionally be available in under a half hour. It varies every day.

Its understandable that some independents have to fill their days up with prebookings. Especially if they have to rent a hotel room. it narrows down the availability. She has to make sure that not only does her room pay for itself, but she can also go home with money. It becomes complicated when you are renting a hotel for your use.

I would have thought the half hour and under would have more votes. Well, that's good to know that the majority of you gentlemen don't mind waiting for a bit.

Off topic commentary here - if you tell a guy you need a couple hours, it may be a good idea to say "because I'm out shopping right now and its going to take me at least 45 minutes to get home then I'd like to freshen up for you." Otherwise the guy might think you have 1 or 2 other customers in the next 2 hours, and the idea of being with you immediately after another guy, can be very off-putting to some. Some of us like to put our heads in the sand rather than think about that part!! Lol.

I have had SPs angry on the phone if I wanted an appointment for ASAP, as they cant get ready and so forth.
I have had SPs angry on the phone if I wanted to arrange something for later that week......ie wasting their valuable "phone time"

So now I just do what I want

One major disadvantage of booking days in advance is that on the day of the appointment, you may not be as horned up as you were the day you booked.

 

[huggzy]

Typically when booking well in advance, an SP will ask us to call a few hours prior to the appointment just to reconfirm that we're actually going to show up. This is certainly understandable and prudent for all involved.

However, I've found when I've booked a few days in advance with a new SP I haven't seen before, that there have been multiple occasions where I've very patiently and expectantly waited for the appointment time to come, and then when the time approaches and I call a few hours prior to confirm, the SP has become "unavailable" for whatever reason (I'm guessing that they've set up another appointment).

It seems to me that there is an appreciably substantial percentage of SP's who will "book" the appointment with you a day or two in advance, but won't actually allocate that time for you until you've confirmed a few hours prior as if they assume that you won't show up/forget/cancel until you've confirmed later on. It seems to me that many "booked" ladies will recieve a call from someone else who calls them prior to you confirming your booking and they'll just take what they percieve as the "sure thing" that they know will arrive in short order anyways.

I usually book in advance. The times I've felt the urge and made a same day booking have been almost always a disappointment. Maybe the anticipation in the days leading up to it make the encounter a better experience for me.

I'm sure by ASAP you don't mean under 15minutes notice, tho right? I thnk some guys think they should be able to walk in, off the street, by calling with 5 minutes notice, but I also think that those guys tend to get pretty disappointed by this kind of experience too. Half hour's reasonable, for someone who is ready all day, cuz even if she is technically ready, or you just saw her ad pop up 5 minutes ago, doesn't mean she doesn't have things to do to set up, even if one of those things is enough time to go to the bathroom first lol.

No by ASAP I mean within the next hour or two generally.

 

[mistressfreyja]

We appreciate the effort, babe!

Hey you ...

I always like to book in advance. It just the way I've always done things because my work shifts vary from week to week.

If by chance we're both available the same day ....I'll ask her If can see her several hours later. Simple reason....taking my time to shower so I smell good.....shave ...get myself ready. And especially for her.....you have to expect and respect that she needs plenty of time to get ready herself .

I'll never book with someone less than 2 hourson the same day... thats just me

No way I want to be dirty

I completely agree. I also need mental prep time, if it's a complex scenario. I turn away many, simply because I need that 1.5hr-2hr. I can sometimes do it on the fly, but I prefer to be prepared. I will never bring someone into my space without my space adequately representing me. (which means little to no dishes in the sink, tidy house and bathroom, fresh sheets down, etc. )

Good point....I didn't think about that. However, see above, in regards to me anyway.

Yep, I've always thought anticipation gives best bang for your buck. I love being your masturbatory fantasy in the days leading up.

Unfortunately, I can't 'schedule' when I get in the mood.
One of the reasons I stop into random massage parlors rather than book an Indy.

I usually explain why I'm not ready right now. I know some men don't care, but some do. I would never want to give the impression that I'm seeing people back to back. I rarely ever do more than one full service a day. If I do more than a few sessions in a day, chances are they are erotic massage. Just because that is what most people come to me for.

I think its good that they got angry with you, because it weeded them out. If someone can't be polite on the phone for 2 minutes, think of what they will be like in person, ugh. I cannot stand rude people. Its just as easy to be polite as it is to be rude.

Is it possible that something came up? I always honor prebookings. I have had to bail a few times, but its never been for another client, ever. Sometimes life happens. I offer a discounted session for the next time, if that happens, and I'm so apologetic.

One major disadvantage of booking days in advance is that on the day of the appointment, you may not be as horned up as you were the day you booked.

For me, yesterday was a prime example of this.

I booked a week in advance to see a favorite SP, and this was after a couple of reschedulings. Up until a couple of days before the appointment, my LG was swollen, sensitive and ready to explode in my pants. But then after some hard labour helping to push cars out of snowbanks, having to work Thurs and Friday nights and Sat morning to catch up on deadlines and other physical and mental stresses, I really wasn't in the mood to poon. I thought seeing the SP would help, but the mind was willing, but the body wasn't - so the LG was non-responsive. Thankfully the SP and I still managed to enjoy our time together.

But in retrospect, I probably should have cancelled or postponed the appointment. Then when I was in the mood again, rebook with her or gone to an MP.

There's also that fear that the SP will blacklist you for canceling at short notice.
