Your first body to body booking on an Amsterdam winter night: what to expect

A first body to body booking carries enough unknowns on its own. Add a dark winter evening, a hotel room you have slept in once and a city whose streets you cannot yet picture, and it is natural to want the whole sequence laid out before you write. This page does that, step by step, for a cold Amsterdam night.

Before you write

Look through the roster and open the profile of anyone who catches your eye. Each one prints her figures for every length, so the number in the reply will not come as a surprise. Then check the room: whether the heating works, how long it takes to warm, whether the shower runs hot. On a winter night those three facts count for more than anything else you could add.

The first message

Five lines are enough. Where you are, with the room number once reception has given it to you. When, in Amsterdam time, since a phone still set to the time back home is a common way for a first booking to go astray. How long. A name, or a sentence about the evening. And the state of the room, including the word cold if it is.

A reply comes back with a name, the figure and an arrival window of forty to sixty minutes. One word confirms. Because this is a first booking, half the figure is settled before she sets out, and the rest is handed over once she arrives; the deposit note explains why.

The arrival window on a winter night

Use it. Turn the heating up if you have not already. Close the curtains. Hang your own wet things in the bathroom. Clear one long side of the bed and make space near the door for her bag and coat. Then sit down. Guests on a first booking often spend the window tidying a room that was already fine.

Everyone present has to be twenty-one or over, and she may ask to see a photo document at the door. She looks, hands it back, and nothing is kept.

The first body to body session itself

She deals with the room first: the oil warmed, her towels laid out, the temperature checked. Then she tells you plainly, in her own words, what the visit includes for her, and that holds until she goes. The session starts slowly, with hands alone, and moves into full contact gradually. Nothing is announced and nothing is hurried.

Afterwards she packs everything away and leaves, and you can shower whenever you like.

Length for a first winter booking

Ninety minutes is the comfortable choice in a cold month, since the opening stretch goes to warmth. An hour is complete if the room is already warm. Longer bookings are better kept for a second time, once you know how the evening feels. The winter evening page covers the season as a whole.

Questions

Asked often, answered once

Do I need to explain why I am booking?

No. The thread asks for practical details only. Nobody needs to know why you are in Amsterdam or what kind of week you have had, though a line about the evening can sharpen the suggestion.

What if I am nervous?

Many first-time guests are, and it shows less than they fear. A warm room, a clear message and a few quiet moments when she arrives do a great deal of the work, and she has met plenty of first-time guests on cold nights.

Is anything handed over at the door on a first booking?

The second half of the figure, once she has arrived. The first half went ahead before she set out, and nothing beyond that is asked for at the door.
