Question...

[A.J. Raven]

So it is generally accepted that a girl being a "clockwatcher" is bad.

So, if the girl isn't watching the clock, who is?

More than once I have "not watched the clock", the appointment comes to a natural close, and it's up at 2 hours & when it's time to pay I get the "But I only booked one hour." speech.

If you only booked 1 hour, don't stay for 2. OR don't get irritated when we tell you the hour is up.

If you want 2 hours, pay for 2 hours.

You pay for what you use - not for what you book. Goes the other way too, to be fair. But I have never had anyone leave early enough to warrant giving back part of the rate.

I swear, this kind of crap never ends... it is irritating and it is boring!!

I recently saw a posting about a music CD that was timed to the hour. Is this considered "watching the clock"?

Think of it like unused cell phone minutes.

No!
That is a very smart and discreet way to manage time....

Sometimes I use an ipod with a certain number of songs on the playlist that are more or less equivalent to one hour. That's when I know the time is up. I usually go over a couple of minutes but it depends on the person. If I decide to go overtime the client will usually say something and I will say it's alright if we are just talking and enjoying each other's company. After the hour is over, that is it service wise. I don't let my services go beyond 1 hour if they are not paying for it. I also find out if they go for one round or 2 rounds so I can figure out how to begin and end the appt. This is tricky because clients may feel cheated if round 1 ends early and they want to go again right before the time is up and the escort says no. That's why I ask beforehand.

Uusually when you get up to go to the bathroom after some light pillow talk, it is an indication that the appt is over. if someone will not leave after I have left the room and start getting ready to take a shower then I tell them I have things to do and it's time to go. I won't say that I have never looked at the clock. There are some people I have met where an an hour felt like an eternity and I've had to make deals with myself to not look or I will briefly glance in the same direction where the clock is or when reaching into the drawer for something. I think the reputation of clock watchers comes from the escort constantly letting the client know how much time they have left or if the agency calls halfway in between. There is nothing wrong with being aware of the time. You don't want another client knocking at the door. Imagine that scenario! Just look at the clock discreetly.

Remember, you are in charge of your time. It's not like you are ripping them off or anything. Just find out beforehand about MSOG and work with the time that you have. If they want more time they have to pay for it. I have a few good regular clients who book multiple hours and if I really enjoy their company or the chemistry is there, I will stay for longer. They are regulars and I feel this is a good business practice to have but I don't make a habit out of it every time I see them. With some clients they WILL take advantage and expect that same amount of time all the time! If you want to stay that is different but they should also realize that this is by your discretion only and that it won't happen all the time. Sometimes this is where the problem lies. You are nice and they walk all over you.

Finishing on time is not "being a clock watcher". Technically, yes of course it is, but that's not what the term means. A clock watcher is continually reminding a customer that his time is running short, that he'd better hurry up, or, at the one-hour mark, abruptly ends things no matter what is going on at the time. It comes across as a mechanical session.

A true professional is able to guide the session to a timely and appropriate finish without letting the client know that he's being shepherded through the menu. She can also get the guy to come. She is also skilled at getting him out of bed and into the shower or dressed, without making him feel like he's being given the bum's rush.

As for the CD thing, I personally don't like music or a TV on during a session, so for me, it'd be an annoyance. Others may feel otherwise.

And if you're in the middle of action with 5 minutes left, don't talk about the time... go over a couple minutes versus breaking the mood. If there's a clock handy, I'll keep an eye on it as well, and if it's getting close may say something.

As to going way over, it happens, but very, very rarely, and only with someone I've got a connection with. And it's usually a reciprocal thing (she wants me to stay as well). And usually with a regular. And not all the time.

Being asked if I want a shower with 15 minutes left? Clock watcher. Asking if I want a shower at the end of the time, or shortly after? Not a clock watcher.

Well, there is no "going over" with agency ladies. The driver calls 5 or 10 minutes before hand and then when the hour is up, every minute or so. I know there is the old "you paid for an hour, stay ONLY for an hour" but at the rate we're paying, a 10, 15 or 20 minute buffer isn't a big deal (or shouldn't be). I know as a contractor I often charge time and materials and don't charge down to the minute, that's just cheap IMO. In fact, on many occasions, I go HOURS over and still only charge them what I quoted just to give them a break. (which is why I have so many repeat customers).

You can look at it as being taken advantage of, or you can look at it as being gratuitious.

I've had a few occasions where I've been watching the clock and say "oh shit, time is almost up" and the lady has said, ignore it, when the phone rings and then when MY phone rings, I've been told to ignore it, let's finish what we started. I know one in particular used to get into shit from the agency all the time but she just said "then don't book a client immediately after my appointment with T".....

I agree, more difficult with agency outcalls. I normally do incalls, however, and I know at least one agency girl that always goes over. She's very open about it as well. If the incall isn't booked for someone else immediately after, not a problem. Anyway, I'm with you, the little extra's go a long way to getting repeat customers, no matter what business you are in. No one likes to be nickle & dimed.

So it is generally accepted that a girl being a "clockwatcher" is bad.

So, if the girl isn't watching the clock, who is?

My own experience is that clock watchers are girls who try to wrap things up around the 45 minute mark in an hour appointment. Usually this is the same girl who wants to chat the first 20 minutes away leaving a very rushed feeling session.

Ending things at the one hour point really isn't what I would mean by "clock watching".

For the record, I hate the one hour timed music/no clock situation. I don't know where we are in relation to the music and, I must be a clock watcher myself as, I like to know the time situation.

What makes a clockwatcher is getting caught doing it. Same in any occupation.

I have no problem with an SP watching the clock, I understand. Of course I do not want to be ushered out after only 45 minutes if I booked and paid for an hour.
A CD or a DVD that plays for an hour I think is a good idea. The only problem is how would I(or any client) know that they are in the last 10 or 5 minutes of play ?

I suggested this before in another thread, have a voice over, like the Leafs PA person anounce "Last minute to play" when there is actually about 10 minutes remaining.

Well, see that's an interesting thing: are we paying for an hour of play or an hour of the women's time? Some agencies state that the hour starts when the lady hits the front door bell (in outcall). If you live at the far end of the building and have slow elevators you're screwed (or NOT screwed lol) for 15 minutes.....Thankfully most agencies use "the call" as the start the clock signal.

thanks, that's good advice
