Eight hours, with both ends written down

Eight hours bought whole instead of hour by hour, for one guest or a couple, with both its start and its end settled before she leaves home.

Eight hours, one figure, both ends of the block written into the thread before anyone sets off. A partner sharing the same woman doubles the block. Ask for a second woman on one guest and all eight hours run at the pair's hourly rate, a total that doubles once more if the two of you each keep a therapist to yourselves. The block for one guest alone appears in each woman's rate table, below the shorter lengths.

Not eight hours of massage

It never is and it is not meant to be. The block removes the clock rather than filling it, which is the reason it comes up so often on a site like this one. A guest who has spent years bracing against being looked at rarely settles inside an hour, and the thing he is buying with eight is the absence of an ending in sight.

What it asks of the room

More than a short booking does. A bed long enough to sleep on rather than merely lie across, a room that is warm through the small hours, water within reach, and a plan for the morning. The block is always held with half ahead of it, whatever else is true about the booking.

the message

Written enquiries, in English, at any hour of the clock

Say which door she is coming to

Give the building or the district, the hour you want her there and how long for. Anything about your own body that changes how the room should be set goes in the same message, and it is read as a practical note rather than as an apology.
