What’s your standard MA session length?

[johnnyonthespot]

A little conversation starter for the holidays - curious to get a sense from people of what their standard session length is for an MA appointment.

Years ago, at home in Toronto, I used to be a 40/45 minute guy, until I tried an hour-long appointment with someone who I’d seen before, and it changed everything. Now I’m almost exclusively booking an hour every time.

As I‘ve started visiting Ottawa, I’ve generally been booking 90 minute appointments, because the price isn’t materially different from an hour in Toronto. And most recently, I stepped it up to two hours as a treat to myself.

There are real benefits to repeating, and both of you getting comfortable with each other. And there are real benefits to longer sessions, where the time can just flow more organically. When you put them together? It’s magic.

So, again, the question - where’s your sweet spot? What session length do you usually book?

A mix between 60 and 90 minutes

1H most of the time.

On occasions I'd go longer, depending on chemistry with certain MAs.

 

[toine]

Mostly one hour, almost never shorter. Longer are for when we connect really well.

 

[Bigdickdanny]

never over 45 minutes for first session. after meeting 1-2hrs depending on how much I enjoy them.

The price structure at most massage places makes it stupid to take anything less than an hour.

 

[Schwarby]

Almost always one hour for me, except when I really click with someone.

However, I used to work next to Club Alpha downtown. I would do 45 minutes over lunch quite regularly. That was before the pandemic.

In Ottawa the price structure lends itself to one hour. I will only go 45 minutes if I have to for convenience reasons (only spot open in desired time range)

In Toronto the price structure leads you to 40/45 minutes - the hour is generally way higher in price... it should be noted that the 40/45 minute times in Toronto don't include the shower time before or after (no shower massage generally), so often its only about 10 minutes less of fun time.

Usually 30mins, just want to get my shot and call it a day, usually i prefer the hh price point compared to 60, i usually dont want to spend that much. 60mins sometimes i extend or if i absolutely know i can get a second shot in, and if i feel like spending that much. 90mins or 2 hours would be perfect but im not a professional high earner nor do i often have the time tbh.

2 hours is my standard. Never shorter, although I've gone a little longer a couple times. Gives us enough time for things to just happen organically.

I never considered doing an 90 mins...I do 45 min for a first visit and 45 or 60 min on a repeat, depending on schedule, etc. a 90 min with my ATF might be worth a shot...or maybe 2 shots

what's the cost of a 90 min a cmj/hush/alpha?

Can only speak to Hush - $280 for 90 minutes.

It is interesting to see the responses here. I always felt that the preference of the ladies and the club was 45 mins given the fee structure so I tend to go with that though I will also do an hour. 30 mins is not long enough for me. I would certainly do 90 with a lady I connect well with but again, I get the sense that there is a deterrence from that as the price goes up significantly from 60 mins to 90. At Alpha, CMJ, Hush it goes from 200 to 280 when you go from 60 to 90 but only from 150 to 200 when you go up 30 minutes to an hour. At AT/PS it only goes up 40 but from 60 mins to 90 but it is only 25 more to go from 30 to 60. Just seems like the preference on their end is 60 mins or less.

that's one way to look at it: the other way, is to ask what's the $/min... $150 for 30 minutes becomes $5 per minute... $180 for 45m is $4/m...at $200 for 6om, $3,33... and $280 for 90 is slightly less, $3.11... etc....
The structure is such that those that want a quickie have to pay for it... Now, how's that split between house and MA is TBD, but certainly getting you off fast is good for them...

Yep, at Hush, the $/min falls at every level up to two hours. It curves back upward for two-and-a-half and three hours, and then drops to the lowest rates at four and six hours...

Great - now I'm imagining six hours in bed with Cameron...

 

[William St]

I've always found 45 minutes the perfect length. Not too short but not overly long either.

 

[Tbone2]

For first encounter always 30 min. If I return usually 90. If things are good.
