Dear Britney,
Yah ok, fair enough, I understand it's a different business model.
And the BlackBass is always ready to help

... Let me help here to satisfy your curiosity:
It's been 15 years that I started to hobby in Ottawa and, most of the places I go, I had SF2 at the beginning and at the end.
At CMJ, Hush, Alpha (and before Brass), Vibe (before being part of Luxe), most of the time I ALWAYS have SF2, at the beginning and at the end.
I can count the number of time I didn't had SF2 there, at the beginning of a session... maybe 6 or 7 times max, in 15 years. BTW, there are moments where I was going to clubs every weeks. For the record, 4 of those 6 - 7 times were with the same girl, I guess either she didn't like SF2 or she really didn't want to another shower, which could be very possible. I also had 2 or 3 sessions with her where we had SF2 at the beginning and at the end.
No SF2 at the beginning, when it happened, the girl always excused herself by saying that she just got out of another shower. Properly informed, I respect that.
No SF2 at the end happened also rarely, and mostly the girl said that she preferred to take a shower alone, to have more time to clean herself the right way. I'm also ok with that.
ALO (so, old Luxe without Vibe), let's say 50/50, SF2 at the beginning. However, in Luxe's current lineup, there are 7 ladies that I saw before in other spas. I had SF2 with ALL OF THEM, at the other spa! I repeat with 3 of them at Luxe and had SF2 again with them, at Luxe. There are 2 girls, currently at Luxe that I didn't see anywhere else... 50/50!
At BB/Sparx... well, I only went there one time and I didn't had a SF2 at the beginning, but yes at the end. The girl was in the room while I was taking my shower alone and was waiting for me. She also told me that she just got out of another shower. I insist to say here that SHE WAS IN THE ROOM DURING THE TIME OF THE SHOWER and we were talking!!!
At Cougars Den, the shower in the room that I went is too small for SF2, so it won't happen there. But again, the ladies stayed IN THE ROOM and we were talking.
ATPS... went there exactly 10 times, in all my life... :
- only one session with SF2 at the beginning and at the end: my best session at this place. Repeat 3 times with that girl after she went Indy and always had SF2 with her.
- one girl I saw twice there, in 2019 and 2020 (right during Covid, do you remember those ridiculous sessions with mask... lolllll). I remember 2 great sessions with her, but I honestly don't remember if I had SF2 at the beginning with her (yes, at the end). Repeat one time with her, last year (obviously she left ATPS and was Indy) and had SF2, before and after the session.
- 7 other girls that I saw there and I wish to forget everything of these sessions! Of course, no SF2 at the beginning and most of them, not even at the end (maybe 2).
Most of the Indy girls I see always offer SF2, but not all. In the context of an indy, it's another story. Now, if you present yourself clean, happen a lot that some girls will accept to skip the shower to get into business and not waste session's time.
Maybe it's time to review the training material...
I personally don't need a shower, when I arrived at a spa. I am ALWAYS freshly showed when I arrive at the spa or at a provider's incall. And put clean new clothes!
I plan each session in advance. I make sure to have enough time in my schedule to go home or to stop by my gym to have a good shower. I know I'm not alone doing it!
So, if the dilemma for you guys is to give me time to clean myself before the beginning of the session, before the girl enters the room, I don't need that time, I'm already clean.
I understand that the girl wants to be sure that I'm clean and just saying that I just took a shower may not be enough to reassure the girl, so I always take it anyway and never argue. But then, it should be both ways, the girl should also take a shower in front of me. So, let's have a SF2 and we can all save water for our next generation.
The SF2 is part of the experience at spas. For people who are looking for GFE, the SF2 is a great icebreaker. You go in to meet a person that you never saw, that you don't know at all, you break the ice. Most of my best sessions started by a fantastic SF2.
I comeback with the point that at Cougars Den and Sparx, the girls were in the room with me, we were talking. If your girls don't want to take another shower, it's ok. But, it could be a good idea to stay in the room and start the conversation. Therefore, we can feel that we are not wasting our money. I know you said that, now at ATPS, the girls must enter in the room within 5 min... you guys should try that, as a new business model. Just a suggestion!
I hope I helped to satisfy your curiosity... let me know if you need more clarification!
The BlackBass... always happy to provide a Locker Room perspective!!!
