garetheast Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I wanted to see if providers considered it rude to ask whether they are available on holidays (Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas Eve and day, New Year’s Eve and day, etc.). Not everyone celebrates the same holidays and I don’t celebrate most of them. I’m happy to pay a premium for holiday services. I just don’t want to offend by asking if this is considered inappropriate. italianboyph and + Vegas_Millennial 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie21 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I don’t think it rude. As you say not everyone celebrates all these holidays. If I was asked about my availability on a holiday day I’d just say whether or not I was available, no offence taken. I would say that most sex workers have a high threshold for offence taking so you’re safe asking this question. I’ve had lots of potentially more offensive questions than the one you’re asking, and I really don’t mind. I don’t assume to speak for everyone but I’d guess most are similar to me. + Vegas_Millennial, garetheast, TorontoDrew and 2 others 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ DynamicUno Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I wouldn't think it rude to ask, if they have other plans they can decline. The only thing I'd consider rude is to be difficult setting the time and place. I can see some guys trying to get a session on some tight schedule or after some event that's likely to run late. That's true normally, the holidays just makes it more so. garetheast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ DrownedBoy Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 If they're marked "Available," it can't hurt to ask. Although it helps if you're not spending the holiday with a bunch of family members. 😁 garetheast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Vegas_Millennial Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I'm a client. Typically the ONLY days I hire escorts instead of massage therapists are on Father's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and my Birthday. I reach out about 6 days in advance because of the potential for additional scheduling conflicts for the provider. So far it has not been a problem. garetheast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ StLouisOct Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Not rude at all, and it gives you the opportunity to ask them if they’re into “ring around the Christmas tree,” “Menorah Mashup” and “Turkey Trot with Gravy.” 😈. Don’t ask me what those are. I just made ‘em up. But they’ll be good conversation starters. 🤣 Happy Holidays. 🎄🎁☃️✡️ garetheast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianboyph Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I don't think it's rude at all. Not everyone celebrates the holidays with family or friends, and if they do it still doesn't hurt to ask. TorontoDrew and garetheast 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t want to offend by asking if this is considered inappropriate. I work when customers want to see me. If a customer wants to see me on Christmas Eve/Day then I'll meet them then. Getting into this line of work I understand that it's not a 9-5 job but if I want to make money I need to be available when the customers want me.

Jamie21 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I’d guess Christmas day might be busy. There’s lots of people who are alone at Christmas and they might fancy some relaxation time. I’ve never seen a client on Christmas Day, and I think if I did I’d charge a big premium, because I’m with my family that day…..Oh…. wait….hmmm….actually I might do it free on Christmas Day 😂. I’ve noticed that immediately after the Christmas period there is usually a spike in demand as people who have had enough of their family over the festive season desperately look for some ‘me time’. Always happy to see clients who need to escape for a bit, especially if they’ve built up a big load!

Always happy to see clients who need to escape for a bit, especially if they’ve built up a big load! I agree with your assessment that there might be a post holiday surge. I booked a massage on the way to the airport last year after several days visiting family. It felt so good to have some "me" time before getting on the plane home. I can see that being a pretty common urge. Edited December 22, 2022 by DynamicUno Jamie21 and TorontoDrew 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically see a boost on Memorial Day weekend. Most corporate employees in America get 6 paid holidays. Only 2 of those have a chance of being a 3 day weekend; Memorial Day being one. So many people take advantage and hire. on the flip side, one year my aunt died and I had to go home Memorial Day weekend for the funeral. On the drive home I had to turn down about 7 appointments. + Vegas_Millennial, socurious and + DrownedBoy 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you travel? Because I will be in a less competitive city for this Memorial Day. I expect to book at least one client to help cover part of my expenses. I was just wondering. A lot of folks go on vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckguy Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Backing away from Memorial Day in particular, this thread reminded me that on one desolate Christmas Day in DC, I was walking to a relative’s house late in the afternoon. Who should come jogging down the sidewalk but Mike Gaite. So, asking if someone is available and even traveling on a holiday, you maybe surprised who might respond. + Vegas_Millennial 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the same rules apply there that apply anywhere. 2) this is why I typically don’t travel for work for holidays - a lot of people are ALSO traveling and it leads to uncertainty.

Colton Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I don’t know why it would ever be rude to ask a service provider if they are available, same as you would ask a consultant or landscaper or plumber or any other IC-type profession. You can ask rudely but that is a different matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ DrownedBoy Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 It miiiight be a good idea to schedule ahead if you want to meet on a major holiday (Xmas/Thanksgiving/NY). Personally, I wonder if there were any providers who were hired to appear under the tree on Christmas morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the major influx of visitors cities get for Memorial Day weekend I can easily see why providers get a boost. Last minute tax fliers as well will have tax refunds to spend.

I’m debating if I want to travel this Memorial weekend, however last year I was in Houston and Dallas for two days each, but it was so quiet and most people were either out of town or had plans. So yeah, I feel sometimes these holidays are better to stay local however…I’m tired of waiting around for bookings in my current location. If I go anywhere, it will definitely be a less competitive city this time. Edited Thursday at 06:47 PM by Jarrod_Uncut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
