"1-400roses H-250roses Q-150roses"

 

This trans escort, if I understand it correctly, has rates for the hour, 30 minutes and 15 minutes. Really, 15 minutes? Is this clever marketing in the sense that some clients don't NEED more than 15 minutes? Or is it desperation to make money?

 

If there is a market for the 15 or the 3O-minute appointment, it could be an option for those of you who want to 'build traffic'. Is there such a market though? Is this the beginning of a trend?

Many people are squeezing their "fun time" into very busy schedules and shorter appts. do work well for them. I can understand the 30 minute appt. as I am usually done with my "fun activities" at around 25 minutes. I wish the guy I saw would have 30 minute appts. at a lower cost of course. Would work better for me.

This woman's hourly rate is on the very high side of what male escorts charge, so she can afford to offer a 15 minute session. An escort who charges $250 an hour would have a harder time breaking on 15 minutes.

 

BTW why do people bother with the roses bs? Do they really think they're fooling LE?

Merely a matter of style in self-presentation.

 

Akin, if you think about it a bit slantwise, to the convention of men leaving the bottom button of their waistcoat undone.

I don't think it is the beginning of a trend. It's just a matter of different people marketing their product different ways.

 

Some businessmen open a MacDonald's, some open a fine dinning place. Neither is better than the other, and both have potential to make a lot of money, it just comes down to understanding your product, being fully aware of your strengths and weaknesses and learning to appeal to the demographic that will be best suited to your business plan.

 

A 15 minute escort will not appeal to customers looking for an intensely personalized experience. Maybe a woman might have enough turn over to make this profitable in the end. An escort specialized in longer sessions will not appeal to the thrift hunter.

 

To each his own.

hmmm so if I show up with 200 roses..

well the roses cost alone would be more then the escorts rate:p

I think the 15 minute 'thing' is a bit harsh. That reminds me of brothels I have seen in Taiwan, where you pay by the minute. How much fun can it be? And I feel really bad for the 'service provider'. Back to back to back to back to back ....

15 minutes just makes it sound like an assembly line. Not even trying to create the illusion of connection or attraction. Kinda tacky if you ask me. Makes them seem more like a sex doll than a real person. I agree the roses thing is silly as well. Also those backpage escorts who post that stupid "any members of le" image like it is going to do anything other than call attention to them.

[Paddy]

For some reason this makes me think of "Max Headroom" a show that was on TV when I was growing up, and an episode where ad units called blitverts were causing people's heads to explode. Basically an ad packed into a split second on TV - not just subliminal but a lot of information packed into that split second. Maybe in the future they will have escortverts where you can have an encounter in a split second.

I agree with you. But if you really can't get too many clients to fork over 400/hour, sell yourself in increments of 30 or 15 minutes ...

 

However, it is self-defeating. WHO would pay top dollar for the hour for the supposedly 'VIP' escort if you know he/she is also available for the assembly line 15 minute bang job? It is not something I have seen male escorts advertise, mostly women and trans do it ... weird.

In the rentboy saunas in barcelona, everything is accomplished within 30 minutes, negotiating, getting a condom, finding a room, brief massage, sex, shower and returning to locker to grab $ for payment.

15 minute appointments? Not my scene. But I agree with Juan Vancouver above in that I guess there is a niche for everyone. For me there has been an escort I've considered a 30 minute appointment with after realizing he was hot as hell but had zero personality. Subsequently didn't want anything more than just a blow and go.

If you have no plans to engage in hiring an escort for fifteen minutes, why such umbrage about it? How does it hurt you? Some of the posters on this board would probably leap at the opportunity to hire an escort for ten minutes let alone a whopping fifteen, given the sentiment that overnights are tantamount to paying an escort to talk or to sleep.

[down_to_business]

The one aspect of this that I would like is that it would allow me to minimize my risk when meeting someone for the very first time. I could not personally see it as a viable on-going relationship... I am here for our weekly 15 minute appointment. Keep in mind the majority of my hires are for overnights or longer durations in general.

 

Upon deep thought, if we are truly paying for time only, it should not matter what increment someone else would want to break that down into as long as both parties are up for it.

 

But with all the fakes, flakes, liars etc. etc. (on both sides of the coin) I can see this as a positive for most especially first time introductory meetings.

To each their own! If this is a marketing/pricing strategy that works for her, all the more power. I personally couldn't imagine scheduling someone for 15 minutes, simply too rushed, however I could see a half hour being enough time for some clients, though it's not gonna cause me to start offering that option. I did recently have a session that only lasted about half an hour. The guy didn't want anything too "intimate" or "affectionate". He just wanted to get fucked until he came, and no cuddling afterwards. Being a cuddly, affectionate type I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to share that with him, but he left VERY satisfied, so I guess I shouldn't be disappointed.

Not judging what others do... do whatever as whatever makes you happy/gets you the most success

 

For me personally Im very affectionate so Im not really a clock watcher. I like getting to know my clients/regulars, do lots of kissing, foreplay, cuddling and making love so this 15 minute thing wouldn't work for me. I feel like the 1 hour mark works on average for just about everyone to start, if it goes well then you can increase time and if it doesn't then you don't lose that much per say.

Fifteen minutes is barely enough time to take your hat and coat and jacket off.

I forgive you

As a client, I might go for one and one-half hours, just to allow time to talk, cuddle and relax with the gorgeous and interesting man who has agreed to make love with me, because one hour just isn't enough. I would not hire an escort for less than one hour; I probably would get impotent from the pressure of the ticking clock.. My usual is two hours, and although financially it means fewer hookups, having plenty of time is so luxurious, and satisfying, i think I will stay with it.
