I know this has been discussed before, but I've noticed recently, in a few threads, that people are addressing it again. I'm not entirely sure why, but there seems to be an "us" vs "them" ( E. vs W. coast ) mentality, with regard to those who prefer a half hour session, over an hour. Someone even said that it's stupid to spend more. I don't understand that thinking either, as I understand for the most part why some people prefer a half hour. There is method to my madness, believe it or not. In my case, at least, it's not because an hour is within my budget, but rather that I prefer going for a one hour and getting the full "experience" than two half hours.
I've always gone for an hour, right from my first visit, which I upgraded to an hour * Once I had more experience, I began to realise the real assets of a longer session, and even started going for 1 1/2 to 2 hour sessions with the best MPA's. I think possibly the bottom line is that those who prefer a 1/2 hour to an hour are looking for a different experience. I doubt there are too many board members who have a"rub & tug" mentality, but there must be some differences in our needs, aside from the cost factor.
OK, here's partly why I prefer a longer session. I used to like the pampering factor, although to less of a degree these days. The feeling of going in there and lying down, knowing you have an hour of "escape" ahead of you, can be a euphoric feeling. I enjoy the build up and not having to feel rushed through any aspect of the session. I did try half hour sessions this year, due to funding to see if more variety was better, as opposed to going less and getting a longer session. I found these sessions to be lacking and somewhat rushed. Especially upon a first visit with an MPA. It really could give a wrong impression, if you don't have the time to get comfortable with her. I would say that there are probably some MPA's that it may be a waste to get a full hour, but most of the better ones have no problem filling that hour, and in fact sometimes seem more at ease.
I wanted to address a few things in this post, the other being, so called "extras" and cost. I've always had some form of N & NR included with a BS, and to my knowledge it should be included. In other words if you get a half hour BS, then NR should be a part of that, or if you get N/BS for one hour then a form of NR should also be a part of that. Getting back to the time factor, I really find it hard to fit in N, NR & BS in a half hour time span, and thats not even including possible DFK and/or DATY. I know this is too analytical, as good sessions never consist of these exact elements ( N, NR, BS ), but a good creative session would even require more time.
Another thing that is constantly being brought up is how $ 200 is a lot of money for a one hour BS. I really don't remember ever paying $200. This may just be my own personal preference, but generally the NR part of the session lasts abt 20 to 30 mins, in which time, it is my turn to try and please them and myself in turn. So, I've generally paid around 160 for an hour which would cover NR / BS. I generally do, only see the experienced MPA's and some are smart enough to know that either way, giving a discount is beneficial to them in the long run, by gaining a regular client or keeping one. The very best MPA's make the money aspect seem almost inconsequential.** As one MPA used to say, "I got my cummings too" ...
This is not to say that anyone should expect to necessarily pay less than $200 with every girl, if, in fact, they literally want a 2 hour BS, and expect the girl to do all the work. I suppose there are those that prefer to primarily receive rather than a little "give and take", but again this is a matter of preference. For the type of session I like, it has to include a fair amount of giving and, I also believe that it is, us, who play a large part in the outcome of the session. Anyway my main point was that, especially with a regular, there is a possibility that you may not be paying the full price. I've never once haggled with any MPA ; it's just not my nature ...
