Ninety Minutes, the Second Time Round
Many guests book an hour on the first trip and ninety minutes on the next, and the reasons have more to do with the first quarter hour than with the last one.
If there is a single pattern in the way returning guests change their bookings, it is this: the hour becomes ninety minutes. Not two hours, not a new format, not a second therapist. Just thirty more minutes of the same thing. It happens often enough that it is worth explaining why, and what it changes about the booking beyond the figure.
The shape of an hour
Every session has a beginning that has nothing to do with its length. She arrives, the door closes, the fee is settled, a few words are exchanged about the room and the evening, and she says what the session includes and where her limits are. Then there is the business of getting comfortable: a shower if one is wanted, the light adjusted, a phone put face down. None of that is wasted time, but it is time, and it takes roughly the same amount whether the booking is sixty minutes or three hours.
In an hour, that opening takes a noticeable share. Guests who book an hour for the first time often say afterwards that it felt short, and when they are asked what they mean, it is usually that the unhurried part began later than they expected. That is not a flaw in the hour. It is simply arithmetic.
What thirty minutes adds
Ninety minutes does not stretch the opening. It stays about the same length. The extra half hour goes almost entirely into the part that follows, which means that part becomes close to twice as long. That is why guests who move from sixty to ninety minutes describe the change as larger than thirty minutes would imply, and why so many of them stay at ninety minutes on every later trip rather than going on to two hours.
What it costs, and how it is paid
Ninety minutes is 270 euros for one guest with one therapist, against 180 for the hour. A couple sharing one therapist pays 540. Those figures are printed in every profile on the roster.
For a returning client the payment is often unchanged by the move. Ninety minutes booked on the day, at an address in central Amsterdam, falls inside the door rule just as the hour did: the whole 270 is settled when she arrives, with nothing sent before. Booked more than a day ahead, it carries half first, 135 euros, and 135 at the door. The door rule stops at two hours; ninety minutes is comfortably inside it.
What it asks of the evening
Thirty minutes is not much in a day, but it can matter in an evening with a fixed end. A guest who has a call at ten and books ninety minutes from half past eight has booked right up to the call, and the last part of the session is spent watching the clock. It is worth giving ninety minutes a real gap after it. A guest who knows he will be tired, or has an early start, may find the hour is still the better length for that particular trip, and there is nothing wrong with going back to it.
Ninety minutes and format
Ninety minutes is also the length at which some formats begin to make sense. Tantra, which is slower and more deliberate, rarely suits an hour. Body to body massage, a frequent second step after a first sensual booking, sits comfortably at ninety minutes. Nuru, with its warm gel and the rinse afterwards, can feel hurried in an hour and is usually happier at ninety minutes or two hours. The figure is the same whichever format is booked; formats are priced by length. The formats page describes each one.
In every format she decides what the session includes and names her limits at the start. A longer booking does not extend that; it simply gives the session more room.
Extending on the night
Some guests book an hour and ask during the session whether it can become ninety minutes. It can, if her own evening allows, and she decides. The difference, 90 euros, is settled before the extra time begins. A guest who suspects on the way in that he will want ninety minutes is better off booking it, because extension depends entirely on her having nothing afterwards.
When to go further
A smaller number of regulars go on from ninety minutes to two hours, usually on a trip with a free evening and nothing the next morning. Two hours, at 360 euros, is still inside the door rule for a returning client booking on the day in the city. Three hours, at 540, is not: from three hours up, half goes ahead for everyone. The page on longer bookings goes through each rung with its figure and deposit.
For most people, though, the second trip's change is the half hour, and the third trip's change is nothing at all. Ninety minutes has a way of settling in.
